(b) With the master switch off, disconnect the plug assemblies at the blower assembly.
(c) Remove the inlet and outlet hoses from the blower assembly by removing the clamps.
(d) Remove the screws, washers and nuts that secure the blower assembly to the hanger
braces.
(e) Remove the screws and washers which secure the blower assembly to the retainer and
hangers.
(f) Remove the blower assembly from the aircraft.
(2) Dismantling
(a) Remove the hose duct from the forward edge of the blower assembly by removing the nuts,
washers and screws.
(b) Remove the cover from the blower assembly by removing the nuts, washers and screws.
(c) Remove the blower fan from the motor shaft by removing the set screw.
(d) For removal of the motor, proceed as follows:
1) Separate the plate from the motor cover by carefully drilling out the connecting rivets.

(f) Position the blower fin on the motor shaft and secure with set screw.
(g) Secure the cover to the blower assembly with screws, washers and nuts.
(h) Position the hose duct on the blower assembly and secure it with screws, washers and nuts.
The screws must be installed with their heads inside the duct.
(i) After cleaning the surfaces of all old sealant, use white rubber chalk PR-307 sealant to seal
where the duct attaches to the blower assembly.
(4) Installation
(a) Position the blower assembly in the hangers and retainer and install the washers and
screws.
(b) Install the nuts, washers and screws securing the blower assembly to the hanger braces.
(c) Seal all hose joints with 3M 390 Duct Tape; then install the inlet and outlet hoses securing
them with the clamps.
(d) With the master switch off, connect the plug and receptacles at the blower.
(e) Check the blower for the proper operation.
(f) Install the access door to the aft wall of the baggage area and secure with the attaching
hardware.
2. Avionics Cooling Blower (Optional)
A. Standard and Garmin G600 Installations
The avionics cooling blower is installed on the right side of the fuselage, behind the instrument panel,
at F.S. 49.50. The cooling air is directed through ducts to installed avionics equipment. See “Figure 2”
on page 21204.
NOTE: Actual equipment served will vary depending on optional equipment installed.
(1) Removal
(a) Remove ducts from top of blower. (Ducts are held in place by Ty-Raps.)
(b) Disconnect blower motor wires at connector.
(c) Remove screws, washers and nuts that attach the blower assembly to its mounting bracket.
(2) Installation
