Required Actions
Measure the operating load of each cockpit fuel shut-off control within 15 hours time-in-service or 7 days, whichever occurs first. If the load exceeds 3 daN (6.74 ft-lb), lubricate each tangential gearbox and re-measure the load. If the load is still above the threshold after lubrication, replace the affected tangential gearbox. If the load is ≤ 3 daN, lubricate the tangential gearboxes and re-measure the load within 6 months.
