TWIST 'ER I WAS JS' FEELING' I W I EJ ( ^ [FOR LOOSENESS! / EASY, MISTER! ... SWhen you birdmen handle Huey (UH-1) flight control tubes for looseness or binding on a bearing check, go easy on the muscle power. Using too much twisting force on rubes with bearing, P/N AN206DSP4, FSN 3110-198-0336, in'em can over- load the bearing and pop out the bearing retaining clip... exit the ball bearings. Never use a screwdriver (or any other tool) in a clevis SVE when twisting the tubes. Use hand pressure only, on the THE tubes. BEARINGS If a clip does pop, tho, fire off an EIR (DA Form 2407) to the Aviation Command, ATTN: AMSAV-R-EU, giv- ing the manufacturer's part number, assembly number, bird model and serial number plus the total hours on the failed bearing. PILOTS...USE THE SCAN LINE The transmission oil pressure caution light on your Huey (UH-1) can give you the cold clammy . sometimes without any real reason for sweat. The light switch can short out if water gets into the housing, causing a short across the con- tact points. The short causes the caution light to glow -normally an indication of low transmis- - sion oil pressure. If the transmission light comes on in your bird, look sharp! Run your peepers up to the transmission oil pressure gage. If it's in the green you've got a faulty light switch and you can complete your mission. Be sure you write I'M up the faulty switch. CHECKIN' Remember that the purpose of all bird caution BOTH lights is to get your attention. Scan your instru- EM ments for the real status of your bird.
