ITEM LOCATION ILLUS
1-4 With the cargo door open, conduct the following inspection to assure full expansion of 1C
1-5 the latch actuator jaws. Move the door handle to the door closed position.
• Refer to Illustrated Tool and Equipment Manual or Aircraft Maintenance Manual
Section 52-30-20 for Go/No-Go Gauge P/N SAT1102.
• Using "go/no-go" gauge, verify the distance from inside of actuator plunger face to
edge of the actuator jaws is not less than 0.34 inches (8.6 mm).
• Adjust each actuator as necessary to gain a minimum of 0.34 inches by varying
the length of its connecting push-pull rod.
With cargo door open and the handle in LOCKED position, rotate handle back toward 1D
OPEN position until the plunger head lightly touches and holds all four jaws together.
Hold handle in this position.
• Press jaws of each latch actuator toward retracted position (UNLOCKED).
• Rotate actuator jaws and repeat at several positions around plunger.
• If any jaw can be pushed inward by exerting finger pressure, reject latch actuator.

1-4 Inspect each door face plate and receptacle face plate for evidence of deformation. If —
1-5 deformed, also inspect door frame and door latch assembly for evidence of cracks or
2-2 deformation. If such defects are detected, replace with airworthy part(s).
2-3
2-2 Using an inside micrometer, or equivalent, measure and record the inside diameter —
2-3 of each receptacle (or bushing if installed) located in the fuselage door frame as
shown in Figure 2 of this manual. Measure across the hole in at least three directions
to check for roundness. The widest dimension must be used to compare with the
maximum allowable dimensions provided in Table 1.
• If any receptacle or bushing is oversized, replace with an airworthy part.
• Determine the X2 value from Table 1 for each receptacle (or bushing) based on
inside diameter measured. Record X2 value in Table 2 on following page.
1-4 To assure proper adjustment of the latch actuator jaws into the door frame receptacle, 1E
1-5 three additional measurements are necessary. The first measurement (Dimension
X1) is the dimension from the door face plate surface to the undercut on the actuator
jaws with the door open and handle in LOCKED position. Measure and record as
Dimension X1 in Table 2 for each latch position.

1-4 The second measurement (Dimension Y1) is the dimension from the fuselage frame 1F
1-5 receptacle face plate surface to the actuator jaws seating surface inside the fuselage
2-2 frame receptacle with door open. Measure and record as Dimension Y1 in Table 2 for
2-3 each latch position receptacle.

1-4 The third measurement (Dimension Y2) is the gap (taken with a feeler gauge with 1G
1-5 door closed and handle in LOCKED position) between the surface of the fuselage
2-2 frame face plate and the door frame face plate. Measure and record as Dimension Y2
2-3 in Table 2 for each latch position.

— In Table 2 for each door latch position: —
1. Add X1 to X2 and enter sum as X dimension.
2. Add Y1 to Y2 and enter sum as Y dimension.
3. Determine if dimension X is equal to or greater than dimension Y and enter Yes or
No as applicable.
4. Dimension X must be equal to or greater than dimension Y. If Dimension X is less
than dimension Y, replace the fuselage receptacle/bushing with an airworthy part
and repeat above measurements to obtain X and Y dimensions.
