INFORMATION Raytheon Aircraft BEECH BARON 55 AND 58 SHOP MANUAL GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING IWARNINQ Any maintenance requiring the disconnection plumbing, nent being electrical connectors and reconnection of flight control cables, wiring requires identification of each side of the compodisconnected to facilitate correct reassembly. At or prior to disassembly, comor ponents should be color coded, tagged or properly identified in a way that it will be obvious how to correctly reconnect the components. After reconnection of any component, remove all identification tags. Check all associated systems for correct function prior to returning the airplane to service. The organization of the Beech Baron Shop Manual has been planned with the intention of presenting the various logical sequence for maximum convenience and minimum time required to locate the desired information. The information in the manual is directed toward assisting the experienced mechanic with specialized and more complex maintenance procedures while repetitive procedures are given less emphasis. Throughout the manual illustrations supplement the text and are located as closely as possible to the related discussion. The manual is divided into sixteen sections, with each section devoted to a specific system or major component. For convenience, all information pertaining to a particular system (except servicing and wiring diagrams) may be found in one place data in in the manual. To aid you in quickly locating the information you need, an alphabetical index contains multiple entries for each subject. Additional information which should prove most helpful includes troubleshooting guides, an overhaul and replacement schedule, based on past component performance; and a list of publications,’ comprising information on various components of the Beech Baron. I If a question should arise concerning the care of your airplane, it is important to include the airplane serial number in any correspondence. Airplane serials TO-i thru TC-1035 and TE-1 thru TE-451, the model designation placard is attached to the bottom of the fuselage immediately forward of the tie-down lug. Airplane serials TC-1036 and after, TE-452 and after, and TH-1 and after, the model designation placard is attached to the right side of the fuselage at the inboard end of the flap. The placard is visible with the flaps lowered. The Beech Baron series is presently serialized as follows: Model 55, serials TO-1 thru TC-190 Model A55, serials TC-191 thru TC-501, except TC-350 and TC-371 Model B55, serials TC-371, TC-502 and after Model 055, serials TC-350, TE-1 thru TE-451 Model D55, serials TE-452 thru TE-767 Model E55, serials TE-768 and after Model 58, serials TH-I and after The Models E55 and 58, except for wiring diagrams, are not in all cases denoted by serial effectivity throughout the manual.

A soft cloth, sponge, or chamois may be used to apply the soap solution. Light films of oil or grease may be removed with trisodium phosphate completely dissolved in water. Stubborn oil or grease on the surface may be removed by rubbing lightly with a clean cloth dampened with hexane, aliphatic, naphtha, or methanol. Flush with clean water and then dry the surface with a clean damp cfiamois. After the surface is dry, continuous rubbing should be avoided as it is likely to cause scratches, also it builds up a static charge which attracts dust particles to the surface. If the surface should become charged, patting or gently blotting with a clean damp c17amois will remove the dust and the charge. When the airplane is equipped with windshield wipers use only Curries-Wright CW-100 cleaner and dust repellent to clean the windshield. Cleaner and repellant may be obtained from Curtiss-Wright. ,Marquette Division, Cleveland, Ohio.

THI1B 999996A/\ Lubricated Bolt Identification Placard Location Figure 3-12 MAGNETIC-PARTICLE INSPECTION Magnetic-Particle Inspection is a method for locating surface and subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials (i.e. materials capable of being magnetized); consequently, non ferromagnetic materials (such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, lead, titanium alloys, nickel base alloys and many stainless steel alloys) cannot be inspected by this method. Magnetic-Particle Inspection is based upon the principle that any discontinuities lying in a direction generally transverse to the direction of the magnetic field of the part magnetized for the test will cause a leakage field to be formed at and above the surface of the part. The presence of the leakage field denoting the discontinuity is detected by the use of finely divided ferromagnetic particles over the surface of the part. Some of the particles are magnetically gathered and held by the leakage field to form an outline indicating the location, size, shape and extent of the discontinuity. In general, magnetic particle inspection utilizes a variety of types of equipment for magnetization, as well as several methods for application of ferromagnetic particles to the test part. Additionally, the ferromagnetic particles are available in a selection of colors (including fluorescent) and particle shapes. Magnetic particle inspections required by this manual can best be accomplished by utilizing the wet continuous method on the standard wet horizontal type equipment, with either visible or fluorescent magnetic particles suspended in a petroleum base vehicle (normally kerosene). Since magnetic particle indications are best obtained when the discontinuity lies in a direction transverse to the magnetic field, the following procedures are recommended for optimum detection of discontinuities in both bolts and nuts.

SEA T-BA CK ADJUS TMEN T pilot’s seat-back adjustment is a three-position mechanical stop. The copilot’s and passenger’s seat-back adjustments are controlled by either a three-position mechanical stop or a Roton lock. On serials TC-2258 and after, TE-I 164 and after, TH-1027, TH-1062, TH-1080 and after, the Roton locks were replaced with Hydroloks. On airplanes equipped with vertically adjusting copilot’s seats, the copilot’s seat-back adjustment is controlled by the three-position mechanical stop. The lever for actuating the Roton lock or Hydrolok adjusters is on the side of the seat toward the front, while the lever for the mechanical adjusters is at the base of the seat back. Roton lock and Hydrolok servicing information may be found in Section 2. The device used to control the VERTICAL ADJUSTING SEA TS FIGURE 3-17 Airplanes with serials TH-1389, TH-1396 and after are equipped with vertically adjusting seats for the pilot (copilot’s seat is optional). The seat is raised and lowered by a gas spring mounted underneath the seat. The seat is adjustable through a range of 1.3 inches for improved visibility and crew comfort. The raising and lowering action is initiated by pulling up on the release lever located on the front RH side of the seat. When the release lever is raised, two ratchet-type cam lots are disengaged from sector gears attached to the gas springs mounted on each side underneath the seat, allowing the gas spring’s piston rod to extend retract, raise or lower the seat. To raise the seat, must be shifted forward. To lower the seat, the the pilot’s weight gas spring tension.

LANDING GEAR SAFETY SYSTEM 1 (OPTIONAL) optional landing gear safety system functions through the action of a solenoid in the landing gear position switch conjunction with a three position safety system switch, a relay and diode mounted on the front spar, two pressure switches mounted on the inboard side of the left main landing gear wheel well and a micro-switch located adjacent to each existing throttle position warning switch. The in Each pressure switch is connected into the pitot and static system. The pressure switch in the gear-up circuit is actuated by the pressure differential that exists between the pitot and static ai r syste m and will close with increasing pressure at approximately 70 mph. The pressure switch in the gear-down circuit will close with decreasing pressure at 120 mph. landing gear position switch is in the UP position and an airspeed of 70 mph has been attained, the presswitch in the gear-up circuit closes and actuates a relay mounted on the front spar, thus completing the circuit and retracting the landing gear.

SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION Acquire a 12-inch-long tube and put a 90" bend 314 inch from the end. Insert the straight’end into the detector hose NOTE and insert the other end into one of the holes in the compressor clutch plate. It is permissible to add 4 ounces of refrigerant leak detector dye (70, Consumable Materials Chart, Section 2), to the suction side of the refrigerant system CLUTCH TEST to detect leaks. A red film will appear in the areas of leakage. A reduction of system cooling ability, or the presence of bubbles in the refrigerant, may indicate a partial loss of refrigerant. The sight glass should be checked Check the clutch amperage. The clutch should draw approximately 1.7 amps. A poor ground could be the cause of low voltage or amperage. If the voltage or amperage is incorrect, check that there is a good groumd. If clutch engagement is erratic, use a feeler SaSe to check the air gap. A gap of 0.016 to 0.030 inch is required for proper_engagement, during operation at maximum available ambient and temperature. Streams of bubbles past the glass or foam in the glass indicates an inadequate refrigerant quantity. If a loss of refrigerant is suspected; an inspection of the system plumbing should be carried out to locate the source of the leak. Large leaks may be located by the appearance of oily spots where oil has been carried out by escaping refrigerant. Smaller If a faulty pulley (clutch) bearing is suspected, remove the belt and check for roughness. Disengage the clutch and turn the pulley by hand. If there is rough- leaks, which UNUSUAL NOISE cabin detected are much difficult to locate, may be or an electronic detecthe above detectors, the system more by detergent bubbles, tor.

An electronic detector has a probe which is moved along the plumbing to pick up escaping refrigerant. Refrigerant is heavier than air so the probe should be held below the lines. Various types of electronic and fluorescent leak detectors are available and each type a somewhat different manner. The detector manufacturer’s instructions should be reviewed for proper usage of the instrument.

The oxygen cylinder may be located either behind the aft cabin bulkhead or in the nose baggage compartment. The system may be fitted with either a or 65 cubic foot oxygen cylinder. 38 cubic foot, 38 cubic foot On early model Barons, oxygen cylinder pressure is a pressure gage and controlled by a shut-off monitored with Keep fires, cigarettes and sparks away when are in use.

Keep tools, hands and components clean, as fire or explosion may occur when pure oxygen under pressure comes in contact with organic material outlets such as grease or oil. valve located either forward of the cabin aft bulkhead orjust forward and left of the pilot’s seat. On Barons, serials TC-955 and after, TE-I and after, and TH-I thru TH-556, cylinder pressure is connected directly to the pressure gage on the console. The pressure gage indicates the supply (psi) of oxygen available. System operation may be limited to altitudes above 5,000 feet by an optional nltitudecompensating regulator whose sensine element meets each increase in altitude with increased oxygen flow. On serials TC- 1673 and after, TE-976 and after, and TH-1S7 and after, the oxygen cylinder is mounted forward of the cabin forward bulkhead. The cylinder (of either 19 or 66 cubic foot capacity) includes an nltitude-compensaring regulator and cable-operated shutoff valve. The handle for the shutoff valve is located on the left subpanel in front of the pilot. The oxygen supply pressure gage is mounted near the pilot’s outlet on the left sidepanei. The other outlets are located in the sidepanzls near the seats for which they provide service. The filler valve is located forward of the cylinder to the right of the airplane centerline. An overboard vent is installed on the right side of the airplane. The oxygen masks for the pilot and copilot an stowed in a box attached to the spar cover under their respective seats. The third and fourth seats masks are stowed in boxes attached to either the front or rear of the oft spar cover, depending on the seating arrangement.

The frequency of cleaning or replacing the air filters will depend upon sen´•ice conditions: however, they should be checked approximately every LOO hours of operation. When operating in localities where there is an excessive amount of sand or dust in the air, or when subjected to continuous cabin smoke (tobacco, etc.) the filter should be inspected, and if necessary, replaced at more frequent intervals. Under extremely dusty conditions, it may be necessary to inspect the filter daily. A clogfed tilter reduces air flow and slows up the rotor, causing a loss of gyroscopic inertia and improper _nyro indication.

This is known as the ’’pop-off’’ pressure. The low pressure,oage on the regulator will show a higher value after the valve completes the deicing cycle. This higher value is the set pressure of the regulator.

In operation the engine-driven pumps supply filtered air through the pressure relief valves and the air filters to the manifold located in the center section beneath the pilot’s and copilot’s floorboards. Air from the manifold is directed forward to the instruments or aft to the distributer valve. The air then passes through the distributer valve to the deice boots for inflation. When the distributor valve is actuated to inflate the boots, a time delay relay is actuated at the same time. After 5 to 8 seconds, the relay returns the distributor valve to the original position. In the evacuate position, through an integrated venturi to create a vacuum in the deicer supply lines to hold the boots in the down position. or evacuate the air flow is routed The deicer control switch on the panel has two posiplacarded AUTOMATIC and MANUAL. Either position may be selected. In the automatic mode, the boots will have only one inflation cycle of 5 to 8 secends. The manual cycle will inflate the boots as long as the switch is held in this position. When the switch is released the boots will return to the deflated position. The system pressure may be monitored by a tions deice pressure gage mounted on the instrument panel. Regulator adjustments for the two-stage regulater and the distributor and the sequence in which they should be regulated may be found under the appropriate pneumatic pressure system heading found in this section. TIMER RELAY ADJUSTMENT The timer relay that controls the inflation time of the deicer boots is located under the floorboards of the passenger compartment just forward of the main spar the left-hand side.

Static electric charges, if allowed to accumulate, eventually discharge through the boot to the metal skin underneath, causing static interference with radio equipment and possibly puncturing the rubber. Such static charges are also a temporary fire hazard after each flight. To dissipate static electric charges, a thin coating of conductive cement is applied over the would neoprene of the boot. From time to time it may become necessary to restore conductivity to efficiently dissipate such charges. The principle factors involved when resurfacing seems the advisable are: If the surfacing material has abraded Off; if the surfacing has developed cracks; if conductiv- ity is low.

The surface deice system receives its air from the instrument air pumps on each engine. The air is drawn in through the air filter mounted on the engine rear baffle. From this point on the air passes through the pump, two- stage regulator, in-line filter, and the check valve into the manifold (located on the left side of the airplane under the pilot’s floor).

On airplanes equipped with surface deicers the nacelle regulator is actually an assembly with hnro regulators. The first regulator sets the pressure at approximately 5.5 psi. The second regulator, which does not function except during the boot inflation cycle, sets the pressure at approximately 18.5 psi. (Another regulator, located forward of the pilot, further reduces the air pressure to approximately 5.0 to 6.0 in. Hg. for the instruments.)

Impurities and foreign matter are removed from the air by two pressure system filters. The intake filter is located on top of the engine, ahead of the pressure pump. This filter should be replaced annually or every 300 hours of service time or sooner, depending upon operating conditions. The filter element must not be subjected to solvents and must be replaced if this occurs. Always reinstall the filter cover with the opening facing down. The in-line filters are located between the pressure regulators and instruments. The frequency of replacing these air filters will depend upon service conditions; however, they should be checked approximately every 100 hours of operation and replaced every 300 hours of operations, or sooner if conditions warrant. When operating in localities where a great amount of dust inspected or sand in the air, the replaced at more frequent intervals. Under extreme dusty conditions, it may be necessary to inspect the filters daily.

The windshield heater is approximately 9.6 X 11.5 inches, conforming to the contour of the windshield and located on the centerline of the airplane. The windshield heater is controlled by a 20-ampere toggle-type circuit breaker switch, placarded WSHLD, located on the left subpanel. With the switch on, 28 vdc of power is applied to the windshield temperature controller, windshield heater relay and windshield heater. The temperature controller senses the temperature of the windshield heater. The temperature controller removes power from the system (deenergizing the relay) when the temperature of the windshield is between 100"F and 110"F. When the windshield heater has cooled to a temperature of 90" to 100"F, power is applied to the system (energizing the relay) allowing the temperature to rise again. Thus the temperature controller maintains the temperature of the windshield heater between a temperature of 90" and 110"F.

The slip on the brush rings installed on the rings distribute current to the deicer boot on the propeller blades. Heat from the boots reduces the grip of the ice, which is then removed by the centrifugal effect of propeller rotation and the blast of the air stream. Power to the two heating elements on each blade is cycled by the timer to the outboard and inboard heating elements in the following sequence; RH outboard, RH inboard, LH outboard, LH inboard. Since each of these phases is 30 seconds in duration, the timer makes a complete cycle every two minutes.
