Note: Bracket standoff material and optional power indicator not supplied. Protecting the mounting structure from damage and/or abrasion is the responsibility of installing authority. Pre-Installation: Installation is to be by certified technician or maintenance repair facility. Instructions are provided as guidance only. Final judgment regarding the proper installation and inspection details is the responsibility of the inspection authority releasing the aircraft for service. Installation: (Example shown on Lycoming engine oil filler tube. Figures 1 thru 9) 1. Installation is to conform with AC 43.13-1B. 2. Protect mounting structure with TU03076-05R self-fusing tape. Where standoff is required use additional TU03076-05R (press edges of tape together) or two pieces of MIL. H 6000, or equivalent, approximately 1”- 2” x 1/8” thick (Figure 1). Teflon abrasion tape can be used when standoff is not required. 3. Insert cable-tie in clamp slot (Figure 2 and 8). 4. Using smaller clamps secure bracket in place and verify bracket is not in contact with structure (Figures 3 thru 7). 5. Install assembled shore power plug in bracket (Figures 2 thru 9). 6. Secure plug in place using large circular clamp, 7. Secure cable with cable-tie (Figures 2 and 8). NOTE: The Plug should be even with or extended just past the top edge of the bracket. Clamp recommended installation torque: 45-65 in. lbs. Optional System Indicator light Using an appropriately sized Adel, the bracket can be used for mounting an indicator light. 1. Acquire appropriate mounting hardware and Adel for indicator light. 2. In a viewable location drill appropriately sized hole in bracket at least 1/4” from the outer edge. 3. Install Adel with light, and appropriately connect and secure, connector and cabling. 4. Apply power and check for light annunciator indication. Inspection and repair Annually inspect the plug bracket for cracking or damage. Cracking along spine of bracket can be repaired by installing a strip of .050” 2024-T3 aluminum on the inside (concaved) surface using approximately 4) AN470-3 rivets (Figure 10).
