NOTES:

(1) Life−limited components interchanged between models or configurations must be restricted to the lowest
service life indicated for the models or configurations affected. Life−limited components removed at
retirement are to be mutilated/destroyed or conspicuously marked to prevent inadvertent return to service.
Parts are applicable only on models under which a service life is listed.
Life−limited components cannot be altered or permanently marked in any manner without compromising
the part integrity. Part tagging or other record keeping system is required.
Related component records must be updated each time component is removed from service.

(2) Service life shown for the basic (no dash number) part numbers apply to all dash numbered versions
unless otherwise indicated.

(2) Service life shown for basic part number applied to all dash−numbered versions unless otherwise
indicated.
(3) Bearing assembly must be relubricated every 2 years or 2770 hours, whichever occurs first (Ref.
CSP−COM−5, Section 62−30−10).
(4) Bearing assembly must be relubricated every 2 years or 2700 hours, whichever occurs first (Ref.
CSP−COM−5, Section 62−30−60).
(5) Under some operating conditions, overrunning clutch splines may need to be regreased more often than at
the 100−hour intervals and bearings may need to be regreased more often than at the 300−hour intervals.
With no cargo hook attached, inspect and regrease splines every 100 hours and bearing every 300 hours
(Ref. CSP−HMI−2 Section 63−10−00, Installation of Overrunning Clutch Subassembly and CSP−COM−5,
Ball Bearing Inspection and Grease Repack).
With cargo hook attached, inspect sprag assembly, inner race and outer race every 300 hours or 300
hours of actual hook time when logged separately as per FAR 91.417, regrease clutch splines every 100
hours and bearing every 300 hours (Ref. CSP−HMI−2 Section 63−10−00, Installation of Overrunning
Clutch Subassembly and CSP−COM−5, Ball Bearing Inspection and Grease Repack).
(6) When inspected per Landing Gear Damper Inspection (Ref. Section 32−10−00 for 369D/E/FF − 500N, or
Section 32−10−60 for 600N).
(7) Use only main rotor hubs overhauled by MDHI or approved MDHI Licensees.
(8) Refer to data plate to determine start/generator manufacturer.
(9) The shelf life of bearings preserved with grease is limited to 4 years.
(10) Regrease overrunning clutch bearings every 300 hours (Ref. CSP−COM−5, Section 63−10−15).
(11) Interim hours: life extension testing in progress.
(12) The 369D25100 main rotor transmission overhaul time may be extended from a mandatory 3000 hour
overhaul time to a mandatory 4000 hour overhaul time, provided, the transmission is operated with Mobil
AGL since last overhaul.
The transmission shall not exceed 3000 hours if cargo hook time has reached a quantity of 750 hours.

Model What to Inspect Section
(DAILY) BEFORE FINAL SHUTDOWN IN CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT
ALL It is recommended that before shutdown from the last flight of the day, for helicopters 20−40−00
operating in a corrosive environment, a Tri−Flow wash be preformed on the main
rotor hub and strap pack assembly (Ref. Main Rotor Hub Corrosion Prevention
(Tri−Flow Wash Procedure)).
(DAILY) AFTER FINAL SHUTDOWN IN CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT
500N It is recommended that after shutdown from the last flight of the day, for helicopters 20
operating in a corrosive environment, the splitter bungee spring be sprayed with
Tri−Flow.
EVERY 6 MONTHS OR 5 INFLATIONS
ALL Inflate emergency floats to 4.5 psi (0.3164 kg/cm2) for one hour. Check for leaks 32−82−00
and condition. Continue inflation to 5.5 psi (0.3867 kg/cm2) and check that chamber
pressure relief valves operate. Pressure−test float compartments (Ref. Float
Compartments Pressure Test).
AFTER COMPRESSOR WATER WASH/RINSE WITH PARTICLE SEPARATOR INSTALLED
ALL During engine run after compressor water wash with particle separator installed, it is RFM
recommended that scavenge air switch be switched on to remove any moisture that
has accumulated in the solenoid air valve.
BEFORE OPERATION OF BREEZE HOIST SYSTEM
ALL Prior to daily hoisting operations: unreel and inspect entire length of hoist cable for 01
broken strands (cluster of 7 wires), excessive broken wires, corrosion, and security
of attachment to cable drums and swivel hook. Replace cable if broken strand or
excessive broken wires are noted. (Refer to hoist manufacturer’s handbook, Table
201.)
AFTER FIRST FLIGHT WITH NEW EXHAUST GASKET INSTALLED
369FF/600N Exhaust bolts should be retorqued after first flight. If bolts are found to be 78−30−00
loose, retorque after every flight until bolts retain torque.

AFTER MAIN ROTOR BLADE/DRIVE SYSTEM SUDDEN STOPPAGE
NOTE: Use the inspections of After Main Rotor Drive System Sudden Stoppage − Level 1 first if there has been
a sudden stoppage of the main rotor drive system. The additional Level 2 inspections must be done as neces-
sary when specified in the Level 1 inspections.
After Main Rotor Drive System Sudden Stoppage – Level 1
ALL Do an inspection of main rotor blades. Fully examine the upper and lower root fittings 62
and attach lug areas. If the inspection finds that one or more blades have a
separation of the trailing−edge bond due to leading edge impact, the blade is bent, or
there is evidence of a significant impact, and the damage occurred with the engine
running, do the additional inspections in After Main Rotor Drive System Sudden
Stoppage – Level 2.
ALL Do the inspection of the main rotor hub and lead−lag link attach lugs. If the lead−lag 62
lug is broken or the pitch housing striker strip shows evidence of contact with the
main rotor hub and damage occurred the the engine running, do the additional
inspections in After Main Rotor Drive System Sudden Stoppage – Level 2.
ALL Do the Main Rotor Strap Pack Lamination Inspection. 62−20−00

fabricated from stock 0.025 x 6.00 x 0.100 inch (0.635 x 152.4 x 25.4 mm) to carefully scrape excess
interlaminate teflon sheets from both sides of strap pack between top and bottom shoes at outboard
attachment bolt of all five strap packs. Remove excess teflon from a point 1/2 inch (12.70 mm) outboard of
bolt centerline to 1−1/2 inches (38.1 mm) inboard of bolt centerline. Field fabricate and use plastic tool
(Ref. Figure 602). Run plastic tool in both directions along each laminate feeling for cracked laminate. Use
of plastic tool will ensure that shreds of teflon still hanging free does not obscure small cracks.
(3) Laminate has failed if crack is found in tongue area or if crack is found in both legs (lead and lag).
(4) Pay particular attention to shim installed at upper side of lead leg of each strap pack assembly. Maximum
of two shims may have been installed on top side of lead leg of strap pack to accommodate tolerance
buildup during strap pack assembly. If more than one shim is installed, pay particular attention to lower
shim when checking for cracks or breaks.

interlaminate teflon sheets from both sides of strap pack between top and bottom shoes at outboard
attachment bolt of all six strap packs. Remove excess teflon from a point 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) outboard of
bolt centerline to 1.50 inches (38.1 mm) inboard of bolt centerline. Field fabricate and use plastic tool (Ref.
Figure 602). Run plastic tool in both directions along each laminate feeling for cracked laminate. Use of
plastic tool will ensure that shreds of teflon still hanging free does not obscure small cracks.
(3) Laminate has failed if crack is found in tongue area or if crack is found in both legs (lead and lag).
