LIFTING AND SHORING (GENERAL)

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. General
3 hydraulic lighting jacks and a tail prop strut B 962 104 N are supplied together with the aircraft for its
lifting due to aircraft maintenance or leveling. On - boar hydraulic lifting jack, which is a part of ground
equipment 1 : 1, is supplied for emergency cases during aircraft operation - tyre blowing, etc. For lifting
the aircraft with one hydraulic lifting jack in case of defect of the nose wheel, one short tail prop B 596 340 N is
supplied, which is a part of ground equipment 1 : 1.

2. Aircraft lifting

CAUTION: AIRCRAFT LIFTING MAY BY CARRIED OUT ONLY IN THE HANGAR, A ROOFED HALL,
ETC. IN THE OPEN SPACE, THE LIFTING MAY BE CARRIED OUT ONLY WHEN NO
WIND IS BLOWING.

A. Remove covers enabling the access to jacking points on landing gear nacelle - see Fig. 1.

NOTE: Jacking points for hydraulic lifting jacks are marked with inscription PROP LOCATION.

B. Position the hydraulic lifting jacks under the respective aircraft jack point (see Fig. 2).
C. Check on, whether the overflow valve of lifting jacks is closed (position 5) - see Fig. 1 of subject
007.00.01.
D. Open the vent valve (7).
E. Shift the control bar (8) on the pump (9) and start pumping. If possible, do use the whole stroke of
the pump for pumping.

NOTE: Hydraulic lifting jack is not equipped with safety relief valve, therefore the maximum lifting
jack extension is limited by fixed stops. If you feel increased resistance during the pumping, it
means the jack has reached the maximum of hydraulic stroke. Stop pumping. When using
the lifting jack at temperatures of - 45°C up to - 50°C, approximately 60 strokes / minute must
be performed, so as to assure the lifting jack full efficiency and preventing its aeration.

F. After lifting the aircraft to the necessary height, secure the lifting jack by the security strut (4).

WARNING: WITHOUT USING THE SECURITY STRUT, NO PERSON MUST STAY UNDER
THE AIRCRAFT.

 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

G. Position the tail prop strut into the hole in the lower fin of fuselage rear part near the frame No. 24
and adjust the length of the prop B 962 104 N such, that its base is touching the ground.

CAUTION: (1) WITH THIS POSITION OF THE TAIL PROP STRUT, THE HYDRAULIC LIFTING
JACKS MUST NOT BE MANIPULATED TO AVOID FUSELAGE REAR PART
DEFORMATION.

(2) IF THE AIRCRAFT RESTS ON THE LIFTING JACKS, THERE MUST BE NO

ASYMMETRIC LOAD ON ONE WING. THIS MIGHT CAUSE AIRCRAFT
TILTING OVER TO THE SIDE OF HEAVIER LOAD.
MAX. PERMISSIBLE DIFFERENCE OF THE LOAD AT THE WING END IS 50 KP.

3. Aircraft lowering

CAUTION: BEFORE YOU START TO SINK THE HYDRAULIC LIFTING JACKS, MAKE SURE THAT
THE TAIL PROP STRUT B 962 104 N HAS BEEN REMOVED.
IF NOT, THE DEFORMATION OF FUSELAGE REAR PART MAY HAPPEN.

A. Loosen the tightening nuts of the locking struts (4) - see Fig. 1 in subject 007.00.01 and loosen the
locking struts of all 3 lifting hydraulic jacks.
B. Loosen the overflow valve (5) of all 3 hydraulic lifting jacks simultaneously to enable the plane to sink
evenly.

4. Measures to be taken when lifting one wheel only

A. Position the lifting hydraulic jack under the jack point at the proximity either of the main or nose wheel.
On soft soil use a pad under the hydraulic lifting jack base.
B. When lifting the main landing gear
(1) Turn the nose wheel so, that the lateral side of the nose wheel will remain turned towards the main
wheel, which remains on the ground. Do not use chocks to secure the nose wheel. You will enable
easier balancing of the aircraft position in lifting it in one point only.
(2) Secure main wheel, which remains on the ground by means of chocks from both sides.
(3) When putting the lifting jack under the aircraft, position the jack such way as to be slightly deviated
(1°approx) from the aircraft center line. The devia tion will enable the lifting jack balancing when
is being lifted.
C. When lifting the nose landing gear
Before lifting the aircraft front part it is necessary to install the shortened tail prop strut B 596 340 N.
Secure at least one main wheel by chocks from both sides. The chock in the front must be approx. 5 cm
from the tyre, since main wheels will shift slightly forward during the lifting.

5. Aircraft lifting by means of on - board hydraulic lifting jack

A. Check on, whether the overflow valve (2) is closed - see Fig. 2 in subject 007.00.01.
B. Open the vent valve (4).
C. Shift on the control bar (3) and start pumping. Use the whole pump stroke for pumping, if possible.

NOTE: The jack is not equipped with a relief valve, therefore the jack maximum shift - out is
determined by dead stops. If you feel increased resistance during pumping, it means the
jack has reached the maximum of the hydraulic stroke. Stop pumping. When using the
lifting jack at temperatures, ranging from - 45°C t o - 50°C, approx. 60 strokes per minute
must be performed in order guarantee the lifting jack full efficiency and prevent its aeration.

D. After lifting the aircraft at the necessary height, secure the lifting jack by security strut (6).

WARNING: WITHOUT USING THE SECURITY STRUT NO PERSON IS ALLOWED TO STAY

UNDER THE AIRCRAFT.

6. Aircraft lowering by means of on - board hydraulic jack

A. Remove the security strut (6) - see Fig. 2 in subject 007.00.01.
B. Slowly open the overflow valve to allow the aircraft to sink slowly.

7. Application of the rear shore

Tail prop strut XL 410.9620 and shortened tail prop strut B 596 340 N serve to secure the aircraft against
tipping over on the fuselage rear part, when the aircraft rests lifted on the lifting jacks, when are carried
on in the fuselage rear section (e.g. in the cargo compartment) and when engines are dismantled in spite
of the aircraft not being lifted on the lifting jacks. It is fixed in a hole in the lower fin, near the 24th frame.
The tail prop height must be adjusted as follows:
• when the aircraft is on lifting jacks - with the base touching the ground.
• when the aircraft is not on lifting jacks - with the prop base elevated 10 cm from the ground, as far
as the terrain inclination permits for it (10 cm reserve allows for the possible undercarriage dampers
spring action).

8. Installation of on - board hydraulic jack HZ 4-3 in the aircraft

On - board hydraulic lifting jack and securing prop are placed between the 12th and 13th frames on the
passenger cabin right side under the seat no. 8. Hydraulic jack including the pad for soft terrain is fixed
with two bolts provided with wing nuts into the thread holes in the passenger cabin floor.

NOTE: For fixing of on - board lifting jack use always only bolts L 410.9515-01 with washers
8.2 CSN 021740.14.

Security strut including the handle of lifting jack pump is stored in artificial leather packing and is fixed
with two straps to the passenger cabin floor.

HYDRAULIC JACK HZ 4 - 3 OR B 097 700 P/L

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. Purpose
Hydraulic lifting jacks are designed for aircraft lifting. They are supplied in two executions:
• HZ 4 - 3 P/L or B 097 700 P/L, execution 3, see Fig. 1 - this are designed for the operation in the hangar
• HZ 4 - 3 execution 2; see Fig. 2 - this are designed for emergency cases during operation

When positioning the lifting jack under the landing gear nacelle, the right - hand jack must be put under
the right hand nacelle and the left - hand jack under the left - hand nacelle. The left and right hand jacks
can be distinguished by looking at the jack from the manipulation handle - the right hand jack has a locking
strut on the right - hand side, the left - hand jack has a locking strut on the left - hand side.

NOTE: The locking strut (4) position is easy to be changed by unscrewing the lock screw (3) on the
upper side of the jack frame, the locking strut (4) is to be turned into the required position and
the lock screw (3) is screwed on again. Thus the lifting jack may be adjusted to become the
“right-hand” or “left-hand”.

2. Technical data
Maximum loading (bearing capacity) 4t
Maximum axis deviation of shifted - out lifting jack from the vertical
e.g. 25 mm at the jack basic height of 300 mm. 5°

Operational temperature range for the lifting jack: - 50°C till + 60°C

NOTE: When ambient air temperature is - 45°C up to - 50°C it is necessary to keep 60 strokes per
minute during the lifting, in order to guarantee the lifting jack full efficiency and prevent its
aeration (due to the changing density of hydraulic liquid at low temperatures).

E. Procedures

(1) Deaeration
With a new hydraulic lifting jack, so far never in operation or having been stored for a longer time,
deaeration must be performed as mentioned below:

(a) Check on whether the overflow valve is closed and start pumping. In case the pump does
not work within the whole range, it is obvious the pump is aerated and deaeration must be
carried out.

(b) Open the vent valve and press the jack down to the initial position.

(c) Close the vent valve, put the jack in a horizontal position with the pump downwards and pump
several times. Thus the air escapes from the area under the pump piston and the lifting jack is
ready for use. Complete air discharging from the area under the pump piston results in proper
pump operation within the whole range.

(2) Filling with hydraulic liquid

Check on the filling of the lifting jack by hydraulic liquid as follows:
Tilt the jack to the angle of 45° with the filler u pwards. The hydraulic liquid level must reach the
lower edge of the filler. Possible refilling is to be carried with hydraulic liquid AMG-10 into the filler.

(3) Lubrication
Lubrication is carried out periodically (once a year) or in case of need more frequently by oil MK 8.
Lifting jack moving parts are to be lubricated.

(4) Storage
If the hydraulic lifting jack is not supposed to be used for a longer period, it is necessary to operate
it at least once in a half year by pumping it to the extreme position without the load. The function
of the lifting jack is thus checked on and jack sliding surfaces are conserved. For storage, the lifting
jack has to be positioned in vertical position.

E. Procedures

(1) Functional check

(a) Put a load of 4,000 kg on the hydraulic jack.

(b) Check that the relief valve is closed and start swinging the hand lever of the jack.
The following defects are not permissible:
jamming, seizing, cut-outs, settling or other defects affecting correct functioning of the jack.

(c) When the small piston has reached approximately 30 % to 50 % of its travel, stop swinging
the hand lever and watch the spontaneous settling of the piston for a period of 2 minutes.
The piston must not settle by more than 1.7 mm.

(2) Check for strength of the jack frame and adjustable strut.

(a) Extend the jack to its max. height of 850 ± 3 mm and support its head with the adjustable strut.

NOTE: Maximally 125 full strokes of the hand lever are permitted to extend the large piston
by 100 mm.

(b) Apply a force of 20,000 N (2,000 kp) to the jack head.

(c) Open the relief valve slowly.

(d) The force is to be applied for a period of 5 minutes.

The following defects are not permissible:
any deformation (deflection) of the jack frame or adjustable strut.

(e) Remove the force acting on the jack head. Remove the adjustable strut and reset the piston
to its original position. The force required to reset the piston to its original position must not
exceed 350 N (35 kp).

CAUTION: NO HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKAGE CAN OCCUR DURING THE TEST.
