2. Evacuation Slide Assembly Description

A. The evacuation slide is designed to provide a safe, reliable and efficient


means of rapid egress from the aircraft. The major subsystems include
the inflatable and a stored gas reservoir/valve assembly, both of which
are packed in a urethane-coated fabric valise.
B. The inflatable is a rectangular structure consisting of two longitudinal
tubes which are connected at each end by a sill tube and a runway
tube. The sliding surface or “floor” of the slide is attached as a taut
membrane between the tubes, along the length of the slide. This struc-
ture can withstand simultaneously the weight of up to four evacuees.
The lower end of the slide body is curved to form a “hook” which
changes the angle of the sliding surface at the runway end and serves
to slow the rate of descent.
C. The slide is constructed from lightweight heat-reflective, urethane
coated nylon fabric. Excellent puncture, tear, and abrasion resistance
of the sliding surface and tube structures, lessens the chance of pene-
tration from a sharp object (i.e. footwear).
D. No fail handles are located at both sides on the runway end of the
inflatable for use of the slide as a non-inflatable apron chute. Persons
on the ground may grasp these handles to extend the slide into a hand-
held chute if pressure loss within the inflatable is evident.
E. A re-entry strap/webbing is provided in the event that reboarding the
aircraft is required after an evacuation.
F. A frangible link is used to control the deployment sequence in a pre-
dictable, repeatable manner. The link is a precision tension fuse which
separates at a pre-determined force value. The link is connected to
webbing grommet tabs which are permanently attached to the inflat-
able.
G. A relief valve installed on the underside of the inflatable limits the max-
imum pressure. Relief valve operating pressure is approximately 2.25
psig (1.6 N/cm2) for P/N B18245-5 and 3.2 psig (2.2 N/cm2) for P/N
64154-5.
H. In order to facilitate use of the slide as a flotation device, it is equipped
with permanently attached webbing grasp lines (flotation handles) for
survivors in the water, constructed of 1 In. (25.4 mm) wide webbing.

Page 3
25-66-07 13 Nov 2015
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
61621

I. The mooring line is approximately 20 Ft. (6.1 m) long with automatic


(92, IPL Figure 1) and manual (91, IPL Figure 1) separation devices.
The automatic release (92, IPL Figure 1) is a fabric membrane which
separates when approximately 525 Lb. (238 kg) of tension is applied to
the mooring line and the manual release (91, IPL Figure 1) incorpo-
rates a parachute pin and cone closure which separates upon removal
of the parachute pin.
J. The lighting system is located across the runway tube and along side
the sliding lane to illuminate the area in front and along the length of
the slide. It is automatically actuated and powered by an alkaline bat-
tery.
K. The reservoir and valve inflation assembly is installed in a fabric sling
attached to the inflatable. The reservoir is a composite structure con-
sisting of a seamless aluminum liner reinforced with overlapping Kevlar
or Carbon filaments bonded with epoxy resin. The reservoir capacity is
200 Cu. In. (3.28 liters). The stored gas reservoir contains a 30% CO2
and 70% nitrogen mixture by weight at a pressure of 3000 psig at +
70° F (2068 N/cm2 at + 21.1°C). A valve/regulator assembly is installed
on the reservoir to regulate the discharge pressure from approximately
270 psig (186 N/cm2) when the reservoir is at 3000 psig (2068 N/cm2)
to a pressure of approximately 460 psig (317 N/cm2) as the reservoir
pressure decays.
L. The valve/regulator has a “ball” type valve section which retains the
gas charge and a spring loaded poppet for controlling the outlet pres-
sure when the valve is opened. A frangible “rupture” disc relief device
limits the pressure buildup in the storage reservoir to 4500 psig (3100
N/cm2). A filler valve is used to charge the valve reservoir and a fusible
plug for overtemperature protection.
M. A direct reading temperature compensated pressure gage indicates
the reservoir gas charge level.
N. A pull handle for manual actuation serves as a backup should the slide
fail to inflate automatically after opening of the door. The pull handle,
triangular in shape, is constructed of white webbing and a red colored
metallic handle which reads “PULL” in white letters.

O. An aspirator assembly is located in the end of the sill tube of the inflat-
able. It is comprised of an ambient inlet housing section, which con-
tains a nozzle array, and a cylindrical diffuser and mixing tube. The inlet
housing is equipped with one-way flappers which act as check valves.
The aspirator functions as an ejector to entrain ambient air by the
induction effect from the expansion of high-pressure stored gas
through the nozzle array. Inflation time is rapid and the reservoir size is
minimized.
P. The aspirator is mounted to the inflatable by clamping it into a molded
urethane flange. A clamp retains the aspirator into the molded flange.
The clamp is covered with tape to prevent chafing the inflatable. The
aspirator is also equipped with a pressure test valve for checking the
slide pressure and for inflating the slide in the shop.
Q. A flexible double-braided reinforced high pressure hose assembly con-
nects the reservoir and valve to the aspirator. The hose is equipped
with swivel fittings at each end.
R. The valise is constructed of yellow urethane-coated nylon fabric and
has a pressure gage viewing window to permit monitoring of the gas
pressure of the reservoir and valve/regulator assembly.

3. Installation and Operation

A. The slide system is installed in a storage pan on the aircraft door per
the instructions in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual. In the armed
mode, the inflatable is connected to the aircraft door sill by the girt bar
which is installed through a sleeve in the girt and retained to the aircraft
by floor brackets. The girt is attached to the slide sill tube assembly by
a series of interlocking white nylon cord loops (daisy chain). The loops
are retained by a pin installed through the cord loop and breakaway
tied with white nylon thread. A pull handle/cable attached to the pin
permits the pin to be withdrawn which causes the girt to separate. This
girt separation cable and cord loop arrangement is located under a pro-
tective flap and provides an expedient means of detaching the inflated
slide from the aircraft. (e.g., to facilitate removal after deployment or to
permit its use as an auxiliary flotation device).
B. As the aircraft door opens, the storage pan opens, and the packed
slide drops outboard over the aircraft door sill. The inflation cable ten-
sions and opens the valve/regulator assembly. The stored gas dis-
charges through the hose assembly into the aspirator. Initiation of
inflation separates the valise Velcro closures, and the slide pressurizes
to achieve design shape.
C. Actuation of the inflation valve causes primary gas to be released from
the reservoir into the hose attached to an aspirator. The primary gas
expands through and aspirator nozzles and causes the mixing tube to
ingest ambient air through the open “flappers”. The flappers act as a
check valve and close when the inflatable pressure reaches approxi-
mately 1.5 psig (1.0 N/cm2). The remaining gas from the reservoir then
flows directly into the inflatable increasing the pressure to the operating
range.
D. If the slide does not inflate automatically, it can be inflated manually by
using the pull handle assembly. This handle tensions the inflation cable
mounted on the right side of the girt to open the valve/regulator assem-
bly and initiate deployment.
E. Separation of the inflatable from the aircraft to permit its use as a flota-
tion device is accomplished as follows:
(1). Pull the release handle, located beneath a cover flap on the girt
extension.
(2). The girt will separate and the slide will drift from the aircraft.

2. Test Setup

A. Testing of components is accomplished on the inflatable with all com-


ponents assembled as an operational system.
WARNING: USE EYE, FACE, AND EAR PROTECTION WHEN
USING HIGH PRESSURE AIR TO PROTECT PERSON-
NEL FROM POSSIBLE INJURY.
NOTE: The shop compressed air source should be free of oil and
moisture and incorporate a 20 micron filter.
B. Attachment of inflation shop air source or manometer testing equip-
ment to the aspirator pressure test valve is accomplished using the
adapter (Table 101).

3. Testing of Inflatable System

NOTE: There are two acceptable Functional Tests, 3.A, Trial Inflation
(Functional Deployment Test), an actual trial inflation per-
formed off the aircraft or, 3.B, Floor Run Functional Test, a trial
inflation performed on a shop floor.
A. Trial Inflation (Functional Deployment Test)
(1). A system function test may be performed by deploying the slide
from the aircraft at time of removal for maintenance check.
NOTE: If an aircraft is unavailable, see Paragraph 3.B. Floor Run Test.
(2). The deployment area should be covered with carpeting or other
protective material.
(3). Check the reservoir and valve inflation assembly pressure gage
for the proper gas charge reading prior to deployment. See Check
section.
(4). Inflation time, 2.5 seconds, can be obtained by measuring, with a
stopwatch, the time from initiation of inflation until the inflatable is
fully extended.
(5). Normal operating pressure for the evacuation slide is
2.1 psig (1.5 N/cm2) to 3.2 psig (2.2 N/cm2). Check
immediately, to within 5 minutes, after deployment with a manom-
eter or pressure gage (Table 101) connected to the pressure test
valve.

Page 105
25-66-07 13 Nov 2015
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
61621

(6). Upon completion of test, immediately reinstall the lanyard assem-


bly into the power unit to prevent unnecessary usage of power
source.
(7). If performance requirements are not met, the equipment is not
functioning properly. Isolate the cause (see Paragraph 4, Fault
Isolation) and correct the problem(s) before returning the slide
assembly to service.
(8). Remove the slide from the aircraft. See Aircraft Maintenance
Manual.
B. Floor Run Functional Test
NOTE: Use this procedure to functionally test a system on the shop
floor instead of deploying from an aircraft.
NOTE: The inflation test area must be carpeted to protect the slide
components from damage by abrasion due to contact with the
floor.
NOTE: A minimum of three persons is recommended to support the
test.
• Test director to initiate inflation and to time the process
• One person to hold the aspirator
• One person to read the pressure measuring instrument
CAUTION: ENSURE FRANGIBLE LINKS ARE DISCONNECTED
(SEE DISASSEMBLY SECTION).
(1). Remove the slide from the valise and unfold per the
Disassembly section.
(2). Extend slide to its full length and width with floor side up.
(3). Check pressure gage on reservoir to insure gage pointer is within
limits of green band.
WARNING: HOLD ASPIRATOR AT ARMS LENGTH AND OFF THE
FLOOR WITH OPENING AWAY FROM THE FACE AND
AWAY FROM LOOSE OBJECTS WITHIN 6 FEET (1.8 m)
TO PREVENT DAMAGE OR INJURY FROM HIGH PRES-
SURE AIR.
(4). Remove the lock pin (if applicable) from the valve.
NOTE: Record time in seconds to when slide is fully formed.

61621

(5). Initiate inflation by pulling the inflation cable from the valve and
record time to when slide is fully formed. Time should be 4.0 sec-
onds maximum.
(6). Within 1 to 5 minutes following gas discharge, connect adapter
(Table 101) and manometer (Table 101) to the pressure test valve
and record pressure.
(7). Normal operating pressure for the evacuation slide is 1.5 psig
(1.0 N/cm2) minimum.
(8). If performance requirements are not met, the equipment is not
functioning properly. Isolate the cause (see Paragraph 4, Fault
Isolation) and correct the problem(s) before returning the slide
assembly to service.

(h). Allow the slide assembly to stand undisturbed for the desired
test interval (four hours minimum is recommended). Record
the slide pressure, temperature, barometric pressure, and time
of day at the end of the pressure test. Remove pressure test
valve adapter, and install cap.
NOTE: The minimum permissible slide pressure is shown in Figure
105 after correction for temperature and barometric pressure
variations. Correct for temperature variations by subtracting
0.1 psig (0.07 N/cm2) for every 3°F (1.7°C) rise in temperature
or by adding 0.1 psig (0.07 N/cm2) for every 3°F (1.7°C) fall.
Correct for barometric changes. If the barometric pressure
decreased subtract 0.1 psig (0.07 N/cm2) to the final gage
reading for every 0.2 In. (5.08 mm) of mercury decrease. If the
barometric pressure increased add 0.1 psig (0.07 N/cm2) to
the final gage reading for every 0.2 In. (5.08 mm) of mercury
increase.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT MOLD OR MILDEW GROWTH, OR THE
POSSIBLE DISCOLORATION OR COLOR TRANSFER
FROM VARIOUS COMPONENTS, UNITS SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO DRY THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO ROLL-
ING UP FOR TEMPORARY STORAGE OR FINAL PACK-
ING.
(i). If the corrected pressure has fallen below specified limits in
Figure 105, reinflate the slide to 2.5 psig (1.7 N/cm2). Check for
relief valve leakage per Paragraphs 3.D or 3.E. Check for aspi-
rator and pressure test valve leakage per Paragraph 3.F.
Check for inflatable leaks by swabbing the tubes with leak test
solution (Table 101) using a soft brush, or cloth.

2. General Information - Limits (In Field)

NOTE: If doubt exists as to the capability of local facilities to accom-


plish satisfactory repairs, it is recommended that the inflatable
or components be returned to a Zodiac Services Repair Cen-
ter for repair (reference S.I.L. 25-102).
A. In general, repairs to the inflatable will be confined to the patching of
tears or punctures in the airholding panels. Although slightly damaged
areas in the fabric can be repaired in the field, replacement of a com-
plete section such as a tube, the floor, etc., should not be attempted,
since the operating integrity of the inflatable could be compromised.
The same rule applies to the removal of any part cemented directly to
an air-retaining fabric member, since in removal from the original posi-
tion, the fabric coating may be damaged, thus compromising air-reten-
tion capabilities. Slight lifting of any part such as restraint patches,
wraparound band, etc., cemented directly to an air-retaining fabric
member may be repaired per the general cement instructions detailed
in Paragraphs 3.A.(2) through (11). A seam separation without fabric
tears on or about the area may also be repaired per the general
cement instructions detailed in Paragraphs 3.A.(2) through (11). Call or
consult your Zodiac Services Representative for repair of any seam
tears that intersect a mitered corner.
CAUTION: WHEN INSPECTING FOR LEAKS, USE LEAK TEST
SOLUTION (TABLE 601) OR AN ELECTRONIC LISTEN-
ING DEVICE.
WARNING: WHEN USING SOLVENTS, CEMENTS, OR OTHER
CHEMICAL BASED PRODUCTS, REFER TO THE
APPLICABLE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
(MSDS) FOR SPECIFIC GUIDELINES ON PROPER
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, STORAGE,
HANDLING, AND VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS TO
PREVENT SICKNESS OR INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
WARNING: USE EYE, FACE, AND EAR PROTECTION WHEN
USING HIGH PRESSURE AIR TO PROTECT PERSON-
NEL FROM POSSIBLE INJURY.
B. Following repairs to the airholding tubes, an inflatable integrity verifica-
tion test must be accomplished. See Testing section.
NOTE: Subsequent to repair, wash off leak test solution with clean
water.

Page 608
25-66-07 13 Nov 2015
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
61621

C. Facility Conditions for Repairs


(1). Work areas used for cementing must be clean, free of dust and
dirt.
CAUTION: COLD TEMPERATURES WHERE DEW OR FROST IS
PRESENT CAN CAUSE A PROBLEM OF MOISTURE ON
THE FABRIC, WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT PROPER
BOND FROM BEING MADE. HIGH HEAT AND/OR
HUMIDITY CAN RESULT IN EFFECTS OF CONDENSA-
TION OF MOISTURE (WHITE AREAS ON CEMENT)
CAUSED BY EVAPORATING SOLVENTS.
(2). Recommended temperature to apply the cement should be
between 55 - 80°F (13 - 27°C) with relative humidity (65% maxi-
mum).
D. Cement/Accelerator Storage
(1). Cement/Accelerator shall be stored under conditions where
excessive heat, humidity or cold are not present. Once opened, if
the accelerator is exposed to moisture present in high humidity
areas, it will cause flake like particles in the product. Accelerator
should not be used if flake like particles are present indicating
degradation. It is suggested to use what is opened, because re-
sealed containers may contain enough moisture to react with the
accelerator.
E. Mixing Instructions for Reflective Paint
(1). M12159 is supplied in two parts in order to maintain a workable
shelf/pot life. Prior to use, it is important to thoroughly mix the two
components. The base component (Part A) should be stirred/agi-
tated to ensure that the ingredients are homogeneous. Note that
settling does occur and the product must be uniform prior to use.
Part B takes additional care when mixing. The aluminum portion
forms a paste-like consistency on the bottom of the container. To
mix properly, this product should be agitated and then stirred.
Once no sedimentation is observed, a proper mix has occurred.
At this point, the two components should be combined to the
proper ratio. Any combined unused portions shall be disposed of
on a daily basis.

3. Patching Airholding Tubes

A. Tube Punctures up to 2 In. (50.8 mm) in diameter.


NOTE: Use a round patch on the outer fabric surface only. Repair
patches should be die cut, when size permits.
(1). Cut a patch large enough to allow an overlap beyond the punc-
ture edges as follows:

Minimum Overlap Beyond


Puncture Limits Damaged Area Should Be:
Up to 1/8 In. (3.2 mm) 1 In. (25.4 mm)
1/8 to 1 In. (3.2 to 25.4 mm) 2 In. (50.8 mm)
Over 1 In. but less than 2 In. (25.4 to 50.8 mm) 3 In. (76.2 mm)

CAUTION: WHEN WASHING THE TUBE FABRIC, DO NOT ALLOW


EXCESS SOLVENT TO COLLECT AT THE EDGES OF
SEAMS. DO NOT APPLY SOLVENT TO DECALS OR
STENCIL MARKINGS (WHENEVER POSSIBLE) SINCE
THEY CAN BE REMOVED BY THE SOLVENT. IF STEN-
CIL MARKINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED, USE THE
STENCIL INK LISTED IN TABLE 603.
(2). Thoroughly wash the fabric around the puncture and the yellow
side of patch (Table 603) with a cloth dampened in solvent (Table
601). Do not damage the fabric.

9. Storage Instructions

A. Store the evacuation slide assembly in a cool, dry location in original


shipping container. Store separate components in clean protective con-
tainers. It is desirable to store the evacuation slide assembly packed in
its container at a temperature of 75° ± 15°F (23.9°C ± 8.3°C). Maxi-
mum permissible storage conditions for extended periods must not
exceed -40°F to + 160°F (-40°C to + 71.1°C).
NOTE: Storage outside of allowable conditions may activate pressure
relief devices (Frangible Discs and/or Fusible Plugs if so
equipped).
B. A periodic check of reservoir pressure is recommended, particularly
when equipment is subject to extremes of permissible storage condi-
tions.
WARNING: RESERVOIRS ARE FULLY CHARGED. HANDLE WITH
CARE TO PROTECT PERSONNEL FROM POSSIBLE
INJURY.
C. During storage, the evacuation slide should be handled with extreme
care so as not to chafe, cut, or otherwise damage the fabric surfaces or
the valise.
D. For shipment, pack the folded slide and valise assembly in the original
shipping container or equivalent in accordance with best commercial
shipping practices. Observe all Department of Transportation (DOT,
U.S.A.) regulations for shipment of charged gas reservoirs.

1. General

This illustrated parts list (IPL) contains the complete listing of all
replaceable parts of the inflation system.

2. Material Arrangement

This IPL is comprised of the following sections.


A. Introduction
The introduction contains all the information necessary for the use of
this IPL. It also contains a list of abbreviations used in the detailed
parts list, and a list of manufacturer codes, names, and addresses.
B. Numerical Index
This section has a list of all part numbers in the detailed parts list in
alpha-numerical sequence with cross-reference to the IPL Fig./Item
numbers as well as the quantity.
Sequence as follows:
(1). Letters A through Z (“O” to be considered zero).
(2). Numerals 0 through 9.
C. Detailed Parts List
The detailed parts list illustrates all parts attached by means other than
riveting, sewing, or cementing. Parts attached by these means are
included when the next higher assembly is replaced.
(1). Column FIG/ITEM
The first number in the first line of a page indicates the number of
the first figure illustrating the part. The second number indicates
the item number by which the part is identifiable on the illustra-
tion. A dash (-) placed before the item number indicates that the
part is not illustrated.

(2). Column PART NUMBER


The part number column contains the original manufacturer part
number. When standard parts are used, the standard part num-
ber is listed in this column.
(3). Column AIRLINE PART NUMBER
This column is left blank for airline use.
(4). Column NOMENCLATURE
(a). Indenture System
The indenture system shows the relationship of parts and
assemblies to next higher assemblies or installations, as fol-
lows:

(c). Vendor Code


Parts manufactured by companies other than Air Cruisers are
identified by an appropriate vendor code following the nomen-
clature. Vendor codes are in accordance with current issues of
Federal Supply Codes for Manufacturers Catalog handbooks
H4-1, H4-2, and H4-3, and are preceded by the letter “V”.
Standard parts such as AN, MS, etc. are not identified by ven-
dor code.
(5). Column EFF CODE
The Effectivity Code Column establishes part relationships with
units or assemblies which are essentially the same but have
minor deviations. These units or assemblies are assigned refer-
ence letters such as A, B, C, etc. Parts which are not common to
all configurations but are associated with one or more of the
coded lead items carry the letter or letters assigned to the lead
item with which it is associated. Where a part is common to all
lead items, the effectivity column is left blank.
(6). Column UNITS PER ASSEMBLY
This column contains the quantity of a specific catalog sequence
numbered part required in the build sequence of only one (where
more than one exists), next higher sub-sub-assembly, sub-
assembly, assembly or installation level as applicable. For bulk
items, the letters “AR” are inserted in the quantity column to indi-
cate “as required”. Where items are listed for reference purposes,
“RF” is inserted.
