A. Safety Precautions
(1) On the center pedestal, on the ENG panel 115VU:
(a) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) to tell persons not to start the engine.
(2) Make sure the engine 1(2) shutdown occurred not less than 5 minutes before you do this procedure.
(3) On the overhead maintenance panel 50VU:
(a) Make sure the ON legend of the ENG/FADEC GND PWR/1(2) pushbutton switch is off.
(b) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) to tell persons not to energize the FADEC 1(2).

4. Procedure
Ref. Fig. Pressure Relief Door
SUBTASK 71-11-00-720-052-A
A. Do a functional check of the pressure relief door as follows:
(1) Calculate the torque wrench force required to open the latch with the formula shown below:
0.53P X L/(L+1.5) where:
- P = Latch release load
- L = Torque wrench effective length

NOTE: The torque wrench effective length is the distance between the point of application of force
(where the hand is placed on the torque wrench handle) and the center line of the torque
wrench 0.375 drive.
The latch release loads for the inlet cowl pressure relief door are between 55.8 lbf (24.8211 daN) and
68.2 lbf (30.3369 daN).
Example:
- Latch release load = 55.8 lbf (P = 55.8)
- Torque wrench effective length = 12 in. (L = 12)
Calculate as:
0.53 X 55.8 X 12/(12+1.5) = 29.574 X 12/13.5 = 26.288

The result (26.288) can be rounded to 26 lbf. The torque shown on the torque wrench when the latch
releases, with a 12 in. effective length, should be 26 lbf.in (0.29 m.daN) to 32 lbf.in (0.36 m.daN).
(2) Install the ADAPTER TORQUE TOOL (RSE1234) on the torque wrench.
(3) Put the torque wrench in the latch release slot.
(4) Measure the effective length of the torque wrench handle and put the hand at that position. Hold the
handle with the thumb and the forefinger.
(5) Slowly apply force to the torque wrench. Make sure that the force is applied at a 90 degree angle to
the torque wrench handle.
(6) When the latch starts to move, write down the force shown on the torque wrench.
(7) Make sure that the torque wrench force indicated is within the range of values calculated in
procedural step 4.A.(1).
(8) If the force required to open the latch is above or below the calculated limits, replace the door latch.
