IGNITION SWITCH - INSPECTION/CHECK
 Inspection and lubrication procedures -  ACS brand ignition switch - every 2000 hours.
Switch Removal.
(1) Disconnect battery.
(2) Remove switch assembly from instrument panel by loosening locknut on the forward side of panel and removing decorative nut on aft side of panel.
NOTE: Wiring need not be removed from posts of switch if wiring is of sufficient length to allow switch assembly to be moved to a position where disassembly can be accomplished. If wiring is to be disconnected, tag or mark wires for reinstallation.
B. Switch Disassembly.
(1) Hold switch body in position.
(2) Remove screws and washers.
(3) Lift terminal board assembly from body, being careful not to lose springs and cups.
C. Switch Cleaning.
(1) Clean switch contacts and the three movable contact cups using alcohol on a cotton tip swab.
D. Switch Inspection.
(1) Inspect movable contact cups and switch contacts on the terminal board assembly for excessive wear or corrosion and for loose contacts or terminals. If the silver plating on the contact cups is worn through to the brass material, or they are burned or pitted from arcing or are corroded, they should be replaced. If the contacts on the contact block exhibit any of the above conditions or the terminals are loose, the terminal board assembly should be replaced.
E. Switch Reassembly.
(1) Apply a thin coating of Luberex 10-1206 lubricant to switch contacts and the three movable contact
cups. Ensure all contact areas are covered with lubricant.
(2) Reassemble switch using new parts, if required. Ensure that cups and springs are positioned in switch body so that no binding occurs. Secure terminal board assembly to switch body with retained washers and screws.
(3) Mark switch with a dab of red paint on the terminal board retaining screws.
(4) If removed, reconnect wiring to backside of switch.
(5) Install switch in panel and secure using existing hardware.
(6) Reconnect battery and perform an operational check of the switch.
Operational Check.
(1) Start engine.
(2) Check magnetos for normal engine RPM drop.
(3) Verify that both magnetos are grounded when switch is in the OFF position.
(a) Reduce engine RPM to idle, and turn switch to the OFF position. Engine should quit immediately, signifying that both magnetos have been grounded through the ignition switch.
(4) After engine stops, move mixture control to idle cutoff position.

VACUUM SYSTEM

By -
TTP B1-L3 ATA37 Cessna 172 B2-L2   V acuum system has a filter, vacuum gage, vacuum instruments, regulator valve, vacuum manifold,  low vacuum annunciator switches, engine-driven vacuum pumps and related plumbing.   With   Garmin G1000, the source of vacuum air is in the cabin and is pulled through the  system by the engine-driven vacuum pumps. This air goes through the gyro filter at the cabin inlet source  before it goes through the vacuum gage and gyro instruments. The vacuum is controlled by the regulator  valve. The regulator valve is on the aft side of the firewall. The vacuum air is then pulled through the  vacuum manifold and past the low vacuum annunciator switches and then into the vacuum pumps. Without Garmin G1000, vacuum pressure is measured by the low vacuum annunciator   switches in the engine compartment. The vacuum gage in the instrument panel shows the vacuum  pres...

(1) Find two points that are the same on each upper door sill of the left and right cabin doors. (2) Put a level in position across these points. NOTE: Out-of-level tolerance for wing tips is three inches total. (3) Make a note of the airplane's lateral position. (4) If applicable, put jacks in position at the wings and tail jacking points. (a) Adjust the wing jacks as required to get the necessary lateral position. Longitudinal Leveling. (1) Find the two screws on the left side of the airplane tailcone that are in line with water line zero. (2) Remove the screws. (3) Install studs or long screws of applicable length (approximately two inches long). (4) Put the level...
