Instructions:

1. Interior Panel Replacement

Note – A/C serial number GA8-02-018, and serial numbers GA8-02-020 and up had this modification incorporated during production.

1. Remove the interior trim panels in the main cabin area between the rear of the cockpit and the aft bulkhead. Take care not to damage the bags of insulation fitted between the trim panels and the outer aluminium skin. Note the sequence in which the panels are removed, as the new panels will have to be installed in the opposite order due to panel overlaps.

2. Using the existing panels as templates, drill off holes where required.

3. Using the existing panels for reference, attach strips of Velcro to the new panels where required.

4. Install the new trim panels, and attach using hardware removed in step 1.

2. Aft Luggage Bin Replacement (if fitted)

Note – A/C serial number GA8-02-018, and serial numbers GA8-02-020 and up had this modification incorporated during production.

1. Remove the existing aft luggage bin by removing the 24 S1022Z6-8 countersunk screws attaching the bin to the aft bulkhead, and the two AN-4 bolts attaching the bin to the cross member. Refer to Figure 2-1.

2. Using the existing bin as a guide, drill off holes in the flange of the new aft luggage bin (P/N GA8-255012-13).

3. Insert the new bin and attach to the aft bulkhead using hardware removed in step 1.

4. Drill through the brackets on the cross member and attach using the AN-4 bolts removed in step 1. The cross member is accessed through the bottom skin inspection panel. Refer to Figure 2-2.

5. Pitot Heat Warning Sensor Installation

Note - A/C serial numbers GA8-02-021 and up had this modification incorporated during production. WARNING

Do not perform any sort of maintenance on the electrical system in conjunction with maintenance on the fuel system. The escape of fuel fumes under the floor and/or in the aircraft may cause an explosion.

WARNING If the alternator excitation system incorporating the capacitor circuit has already been installed, perform the following action to ensure that the capacitor circuit is disarmed before removing the cover panel to access the underfloor area in front of the pilot’s seat

(i) open the circuit by pulling the Bus 2 control breaker (ii) switch the Bus 2 master switch ON

Ensure that the breaker remains open and the master switch remains ON for the duration that the cover panel is removed. Note that Bus 2 is not live whilst the Bus 2 control breaker is pulled.

1. Remove pilot’s seat and floor carpet. Remove battery box cover. Disconnect battery. Disarm the alternator excitation system if already installed.

2. Install circuit board (P/N GA8-315017-17) and wire FH1A14 to output terminal of the Pitot Heat Switch/Breaker in the overhead switch panel. Refer to Figure 5-1.

3. Install pitot heat indicator resistor assembly on the pitot heat feed wire FH1A14 at pin 5 of socket J01 of the wing root junction block. Solder one end of wire WH4A22 to the resistor, and the other end to pin 4 of socket J51 at the overhead electrical panel. Install wire WH4B22N between pin 3 of socket J51 and a suitable earth. Install wire WH3B18 between pin 1 of socket J51 and pin 5 of plug P102, and wire WH3A18 between pin 5 of socket J102 and pin 4 of plug 13 of the caution system controller. Refer to Figure 5-1.

7. Volt/Amp Indicator Replacement

Note – A/C serial numbers GA8-02-025 and up had this modification incorporated during production.

WARNING Do not perform any sort of maintenance on the electrical system in conjunction with maintenance on the fuel system. The escape of fuel fumes under the floor and/or in the aircraft may cause an explosion.

WARNING If the alternator excitation system incorporating the capacitor circuit has already been installed, perform the following action to ensure that the capacitor circuit is disarmed before removing the cover panel to access the underfloor area in front of the pilot’s seat

(i) open the circuit by pulling the Bus 2 control breaker (ii) switch the Bus 2 master switch ON

Ensure that the breaker remains open and the master switch remains ON for the duration that the cover panel is removed. Note that Bus 2 is not live whilst the Bus 2 control breaker is pulled.

1. Remove pilot’s seat and floor carpet. Remove battery box cover. Disconnect battery. Disarm the alternator excitation system if already installed.

2. Disconnect wires DA1A18, DA1B18 and DA2D18N between the instrument panel mounted battery monitor and the ammeter shunt located on the rear of the firewall at the left lower engine mount bolt. Discard wire DA2D18N.

3. Disconnect and discard wire DA2A18 between terminal DA2A of the Bus1/Bus 2 switch and the battery monitor.

4. Disconnect, remove and discard the battery monitor from the instrument panel.

5. Disconnect, remove and discard mode switch and wiring. The mode switch hole may be blanked with a rubber plug or similar.

6. Disconnect and remove all parts from the solenoid box.

7. Disconnect floor-mounted circuit breakers and remove circuit breaker panel. Remove circuit breakers from the existing panel and attach to new circuit breaker panel (P/N GA8-246022-33).

Note – step 8 is only applicable to S/N’s GA8-00-004 to GA8-02-021. S/N’s GA8-02-022 to GA8-02-024 have an alternative capacitor installation that is functionally equivalent to the following.

8. Attach capacitor and capacitor mounting bracket (P/N GA8-533014-21) to the new circuit breaker panel. Refer Figure 7-1. Refer to Section 8 Alternator Excitation System Installation for capacitor wiring details.
