INSPECT
1. Inspect the parachute connector in accordance with WP 0005 00, using the procedures in Table 1.
2. Inspect the arm spacing.
a.
Ensure that the arms (1) engage into the retainer clamp. If they do not, the thickness of the tips is
too much.
b.
The width of the tips of the arms should be between 29/32 and 31/32-inches.
c.
If the width is greater than 31/32-inches, measure each arm individually. If either arm is larger than
31/64-inches file the excess metal from the inside face of the arm to keep within allowable tolerances.
d.
Place both arms together and check whether the total width is between 29/32 and 31/32-inches. If they
are not, repeat the procedure in step c., above.
e.
Apply a coat of solid film lubricant to the exposed surfaces. Allow lubricant to dry for 24-hours before
using connector.
