Section 4 - OPERATION
For operational characteristics of the Stand and cradle combination (i.e., for installation and removal of the
engine), refer to the cradle’s Operation and Maintenance Manual and the bootstrapping instructions provided
by the aircraft or engine manufacturer.

The Stanley 180059 Shipping Stand controls the vertical positioning of both the engine cradle and the for-
ward and aft running gear (i.e. wheel, rim, and tires). It does this via two (2) separate hydraulic systems-
Three-Way Valves and Two-Stage Pumps- each connected to its own circuit. Together, these valves and
pumps control the height of the engine cradle and the positioning of the running gear. (Table 4-1, follows,
with directions for their operation.)

4.4.16 To lower the forward end of the Stand, slowly toggle the left side pump valve selector back-
and-forth between NEUTRAL and 'B' (LOWER). The forward end of the Stand will IMMEDI-
ATELY begin to lower when the left side pump valve selector is in the 'B' position. (Toggling
prevents the forward end of the Stand from lowering too rapidly.)

4.4.17 When the forward end of the Stand has been completely lowered, ensure that the left pump
valve selector is in the 'B' (LOWER) position.

4.4.18 Using the hand pump, raise the forward wheels off the ground.

4.4.19 Pin the running gear in place by inserting the forward running gear T-handle pins into the
AIR/TRUCK SHIP hole (Figure 4-6).

4.4.20 Move all selector valves back and forth between their 'A' and 'B' positions, then return them
to NEUTRAL, in order to relieve any pressure in the system.

4.5 Wheel Placement (During Engine Shipment)

For Air Transport: Turn the wheels outward, slightly, for Fan Case clearance.
For Truck Transport: Align the wheels with the Stand’s frame.
Without Fan Case: Rotate the wheels inward, to reduce the overall width of the Stand.

4.6 Engine Build-Up (EBU) Spacers


Optional EBU spacers are set between the support shock mounts and the cradle (Figure 4-7), to pro-
vide extra room for performing work on the engine underside. Installation of EBU spacers requires
(1) an overhead lifting device and (2) stowing of the air/truck transport spacers within the fork tubes.

Section 6 - STORAGE

6.1 If the Shipping System will be stored in areas controlled to temperatures between 50º and 100º F and
less than 50% average relative humidity, replace the hydraulic fluid and purge the systems every six
(6) months, unless operational conditions warrant more frequent service.

(If storage conditions fall outside of the 50º and 100º F range, and/or less than 50% average relative
humidity, bi-monthly fluid replacement is recommended.)

6.2 If hydraulic fluid is discolored, cloudy, or contaminated, replace immediately. (See Section 12.)

Regardless of storage conditions, hydraulic fluid in all the


NOTE systems must be purged and replaced with new fluid, in order to
remove all moisture and contaminants that have accumulated.

Section 7 - CLEANING

7.1 Clean all metal parts with a mild detergent solution followed by a clear water rinse.
7.2 Dry all parts using a clean cloth or low pressure compressed air.

HYDRAULIC ENGINE SHIPPING STAND P/N 180059

Section 8 - INSPECTION

To ensure efficient and reliable operation, the Stanley Shipping Stand must be maintained through regular
preventive maintenance practices. These practices include inspection, cleaning, and lubrication. All preven-
tive maintenance must be performed at least once every six (6) months. The manufacturer recommends
more frequent maintenance under conditions of heavy service or extreme weather. Replace any parts that
do not meet inspection standards.

Routine inspection should include the following items:

8.1 Clean the Stand per Section 7.

8.2 Inspect all parts for dirt and signs of wear or damage.

8.3 Inspect all structural members for distortion, breaks, cracks, or other signs of damage.

8.4 Inspect all welded joints for integrity.

8.5 Inspect load-bearing surfaces and the threads of all bolts for small cuts, scoring, distortion, elonga-
tion, galling, or other signs of wear or damage.

8.6 Inspect all bolted parts for looseness and tighten as necessary.

8.7 Inspect the paint and plating for cuts or chips and repair as required per Section 9.2

8.8 Jack up the Stand, place blocks or safety stands under it, and check the wheels for free-running op-
eration. Check the wheel bearings for excessive play or binding. The wheels should spin freely, and
there should by no lateral or axial movement.

8.9 Inspect the hydraulic system according to Table 8-1 that follows (Hydraulic System Inspection Re-
quirements). Leakage (Item 3) and Contamination (Item 14) are the two most common problems with
hydraulic systems, and can lead to further problems if left uncorrected.

(See Section 12 for complete Hydraulic System Service instructions for fluid level replacement and
bleeding of the running gear and cylinders.)

Section 8 - INSPECTION (cont’d)


8.9 Hydraulic System Inspection (cont’d) (See Section 12 for complete Hydraulic System Service instruc-
tions for fluid level replacement and bleeding of the running gear and cylinders.)

Category I Items

Inspection should be performed daily, or before each use- whichever is less frequent. Certain items
(*) require CONTINUOUS inspection, however, to avoid hazardous use. Defective components
should be removed from service until repairs can be made.

Category II Items

Inspection is monthly, and should be performed- and entered into a signed and dated log- by desig-
nated qualified personnel. Such a log should be kept with the unit. Inspect more frequently if use
deems it necessary, based on the exposure of the critical components (hand pumps and hydraulic
cylinders) to wear and contamination. Defective items failing inspection should be repaired or re-
placed before operating the hand pumps.

Section 12 –HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SERVICE

12..1 Bleeding the Forward Running Gear

Air can enter the hydraulic system during assembly, replacement of parts, or after prolonged use.
Take the following steps to bleed air from the system. Running gear must be pinned in place prior to
bleeding the system. Always bleed the components farthest from the reservoir first.

12.1.1 Cycle the left side pump valve selector from one position to another to release all pres-
sure from the system.

12.1.2 Remove the pins that secure the forward wheel cylinder rod ends to the running gear.
Prop the cylinders up to allow free extension and retraction of their rods.

12.1.3 Move the left side pump valve selector to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and the left side
stand valve selector to the ‘B’ (WHEELS) position. Retract the forward cylinders
fully using the left side pump.

12.1.4 Move the left side pump valve selector to the ‘A’ (RAISE) position and remove the fitting
cap from the aft (body) end of the right front wheel cylinder. Fit a bleeder tube over the
threads and submerge the other end in a container of clean hydraulic fluid.

12.1.5 Cycle the left side pump until all the air is expelled from the hydraulic line (i.e., clear fluid
without bubbles).

12.1.6 While slowly depressing the pump handle and continuing to expel fluid, remove the
bleeder tube, replace the cap, and tighten it.

12.1.7 Repeat steps 4 through 7 for the aft end of the left side front cylinder.

12.1.8 Cycle the left side pump to extend both forward cylinders completely.

12.1.9 Move the left side pump selector valve to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and repeat the bleed-
ing procedure for the forward end of the right front wheel cylinder. Then bleed the for-
ward end of the left front wheel cylinder.

12.1.10 Reinstall the forward cylinder rod ends in the front running gear and bolt securely. Cycle
the system. Repeat the procedure if the cylinders still move erratically or are slow to re-
spond.

12.2 Bleeding the Aft Running Gear

Take the following steps to bleed air from the right side of the hydraulic system. Running gear must
be pinned in place prior to bleeding the system. Always bleed the components farthest from the res-
ervoir first.

12.2.1 Cycle the right side pump valve selector from one position to another to release all pres-
sure from the system.

12.2.2 Remove the pins that secure both aft wheel cylinder rod ends to the running gear. Prop
the cylinders up to allow free extension and retraction of their rods.

12.2.3 Move the right side pump valve selector to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and the right side
stand valve selector to the ‘B’ (WHEELS) position. Retract the aft cylinders fully using the
right side pump.

12.2.4 Move the right side pump selector valve to the ‘A’ (RAISE) position. Remove the fitting
cap from the forward (body) end of the left rear wheel cylinder and fit a bleeder tube over
the threads. Submerge the other end in a container of clean hydraulic fluid.

12.2.5 Cycle the right side pump until all the air is expelled from the line (i.e., clear fluid without
bubbles).

12.2.6 While slowly depressing the pump handle and continuing to expel fluid, remove the
bleeder tube, replace the cap, and tighten it down.

12.2.7 Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the forward end of the right rear cylinder.

12.2.8 Cycle the right side pump to extend both aft cylinders completely.

12.2.9 Move the right side pump selector valve to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and repeat the
bleeding procedure for the aft (rod) end of the left rear wheel cylinder. Then bleed the aft
end of the right rear wheel cylinder.

12.2.10 Reinstall the aft cylinder rod ends in the aft running gear. Pin it securely. Cycle the sys-
tem, then repeat the procedure if the cylinders still move erratically or are slow to re-
spond.

completely bleed.

⇒ Pump oil into the quick connect and bleed air through bleed port "A." Monitor the attached pres-
sure gauge to ensure that the system is not pressurized.

⇒ Close the bleed port.

⇒ Pump oil into the accumulator until the gauge reads 1200 psi. (When pressurizing the system,
pressure will rise quickly to 800 psi, then rise gradually until it reaches 1200 psi.)

⇒ While maintaining pressure at 1200 psi, disconnect quick connect "A" from "B" and replace the
cap.

⇒ Disconnect the tee fitting and gauge from the hose.

⇒ Install the open end of the hose to bleed supply port "A" (Figure 12-4). Pump oil until all air is out
of the system (through bleed port "B"). Remember to tilt the cylinder to release any air that may
be trapped. Make sure cylinder "A" does not rise.

• Using the pump, fully RAISE the cylinders. The forward cylinder must raise ¼ inch higher than
the aft cylinder.

• Put the selector in the LOWER position and fully retract the cylinders. It may take up to 5 min-
utes for both cylinders to retract completely If the system operates correctly, check and tighten
all fittings. If the system does not operate correctly, completely re-do the entire bleeding proce-
dure.
