15. INSTALLATION OF VARIABLE GEOMETRY (VG) ACTUATOR HOSE ASSEMBLIES.

a. Install VG actuator head hose assembly (18, figure 6) as follows:

(I) Position head hose assembly ( 18) on gas turbine as shown in figure 6.
(2) Connect coupling nut (21) on head hose assembly ( 18) to nipple (5) on VG actuator at the 4 o'clock position.
forward looking aft.
(3) Torque coupling nut (21) to 180-200 lb in. (20.3-22.6 N·m).
(4) Connect coupling nut (9) on head hose assembly (18) to nipple (5) on VG actuator at the I 0 o'clock position,
forward looking aft.
(5) Torque coupling nut (9) to 180-200 lb in. (20.3-22.6 N·m).
(6) Install cushioned clamp ( 19) on head hose assembly (18). Install bolt (20) through clamp and secure to
boss on front frame. Torque bolt to 38-421b in. (4.3-4.7 N·m).
(7) Install cushioned clamp (14) on head hose assembly (18).

(9) Using self-locking nut (13) and bolt ( 15). secure cushioned clamp (14) to bracket ( 16). Torque bolt ( 15) to
24-27 lb in. (2.7-3.1 N·m).
(I 0) Install cushioned clamp (7) on head hose assembly ( 18 ).
( 11) Using bolt ( 12). secure bracket ( 11) to boss on front frame. Torque bolt to 24-27 lb in. (2. 7-3.1 N·m).
(12) Using bolt (3) and self-locking nut ( 10). secure cushioned clamp (7) to bracket (I I). Torque bolt (3) to
24-27 lb in. (2.7-3.1 N·m).
(13) Connect coupling nut (2) on head hose (I) toT-fitting (6) on head hose assembly ( 18). Torque coupling
nut to 180-200 lb in. (20.3-22.6 N·m ).
b. Install VG actuator rod hose assembly (28) as follows:
(I) Position rod hose assembly (28) on gas turbine as shown in figure 6.
(2) Connect coupling nut (22) on rod hose assembly (28) to nipple (4) on VG actuator at the 4 o'clock position,
forward looking aft.
