3)
Put the upper edge of a straight edge at the center line of the link mounting bolt,
and the lower edge at the center line of the bolt that attaches the lower clevis to
the plate on the door. Make sure that each door locks in the open position with
the center line of the upper clevis bolt not more than 0.06 inch over center at the
attach point of the bottom clevis to the link, when the gears are fully extended,
with the cam resting against the door hinge extrusion (See the Linkage Rigging
Illustration).
4)
With the landing gear retracted, adjust the clevis that attaches the upper link to
the cam until the door closes for a snug fit.
CAUTION:

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO DOORS, MAKE SURE THAT

THE DOORS DO NOT CLOSE MORE THAN NECESSARY TO GET A
SNUG FIT.

5)
Examine for clearance of 0.04 to 0.08 inch between the door actuator roller and
the adjusting block of the cam, shown in the Linkage Rigging Illustration. Do this
by slowly retracting the gear in small increments with the landing gear circuit
breaker, located on the pilot's subpanel adjacent to the landing gear control
handle. If necessary, loosen the two bolts that hold the adjusting block in place
and change the position of the adjusting block until you get the correct clearance.
When you get the correct clearance, tighten the two bolts to lock the adjusting
block in place.
6)
Examine the cams, link, and pivots for correct alignment and freedom of
movement, and make sure that the cam slot does not bottom-out on the actuator
roller when the gear is cycled.
7)
Retract the gear as necessary to examine for a minimum clearance of 1.00 inch
between the tire and door. If door clearance is satisfactory, retract the gear and
make sure that the doors are correctly closed. If the doors do not close flush, or
close too tight, adjust the door linkage again to get a correct fit. To adjust the
door linkage again, either adjust the upper and lower pivots, or change the
position of the slotted attach plate on the door.
NOTE:
9.0
Each time the door linkage is adjusted, the over center dimension,
the tire clearance, and the "snug" fit of closed doors must be
examined again.
8)
With the gear down and doors open, apply 25 pounds to the lower edge of the
doors to make sure that the door linkage is correctly over center.. This is done to
make sure that each door is locked open enough to withstand the air load
present during takeoff and landing. Adjust the door again if it begins to close
under this 25 pound load.
9)
With the doors connected and adjusted, verify the gear-to-spar dimension of .025
(+ or -.12) inch (Reference: Beechcraft Super King Air F90 Maintenance Manual
Subject 32-30-00).
FUNCTIONAL CHECK
1)
Do a detailed inspection of all work done. Make sure that all cotter pins are
installed and that all clevis jam nuts are tight.
2)
Do a landing gear retraction test as given in Beechcraft Super King Air F90
Maintenance Manual Subject 5-20-11. Examine all lights and warning systems.
3)
Do a landing gear manual extension as given in Beechcraft Super King Air F90
Maintenance Manual Subject 32-30-00.

PAINT PREPARATION
Anti-Static Treatment
This section gives instructions for the application of the anti-static coating, if it is
necessary to paint the airplane again at a later time. This treatment is the
recommended method for dissipation of static precipitation.
Use one of the anti-static coatings (or an equivalent product) as given below:
Posting West, Division of USN Corporation
Base 463-6-14
Activator CA-97
DeSoto Chemical Coatings
Base 528-302
Base 528-305
Activator 910-006
Activator 910-464
Tempo Paint and Varnish Company

Base 1980-BAS-5A
Catalyst 1980-CAS-5A
1)
Mask area with vinyl tape.
CAUTION: IF SANDING METHOD IS USED TO REMOVE PAINT USE EXTREME

CAUTION NOT TO EXPOSE THE GLASS FABRIC.
2)
Remove the primer with Fiber Resin ES-1. As an option, remove the primer by
wet sanding. Sand only until outer layer of resin is lightly abraded over entire
surface.
CAUTION:
FILLER SHOULD BE USED ONLY TO FILL SMALL SURFACE

DEFECTS. LARGE AREAS OF FILLER MATERIAL CAN CAUSE
UNSATISFACTORY PAINT ADHESION.
3)
If necessary, fill any pinholes with a static conditioner (Magna 28-C-1 or

equivalent) filler. Use hand pressure to force conditioner into pinholes.
4)
If necessary, apply surfacer (Laminar X-500, Epocast 156, or equivalent) to fill

surface pits and minor depressions. Use only when these conditions exist.
5)
Sand surface lightly and clean with naptha-wet cheesecloth and wipe dry.
6)
Mix the anti-static coating material as given in the manufacturer's instructions.
7)
Apply coating to a thickness of 0.0004 to 0.0008 inch on the entire area.

9)
Put two one-inch wide by ten-inch long strips of 3M conductive adhesive tape
(Copper X-1181 or Aluminum X-1170) 1 inch apart and parallel to each other on
the cured anti-static surface. Press the strips firmly against the surface.
10)
With a multimeter, measure the resistance between the two metal strips. Multiply
the ohms reading by 10 to give resistance per square. The coating is satisfactory
if resistance per square is 500,000 ohms or less. If the resistance per square is
more than 500,000 ohms, apply another coat of anti-static coating after sanding
with 240 grit or finer abrasive paper and cleaning with naptha-wet cheesecloth
and wiping dry.
11)
Do the resistance measurement again as given in Steps 9 and 10.
12)
Within 24 hours after the application of the anti-static coating, wipe the surface
with naptha-moistened cheesecloth and apply one coat of CLASS I PRIMER
(MIL-P-23377), URETHANE COMPATIBLE PRIMER YELLOW BASE DESOTO
(#513 x 329), or equivalent.
Apply Topcoating on Surfaces with Anti-Static Coating Installed

1)
If the anti-static surface is covered within 24 hours, wipe the surface with napthamoistened cheesecloth.
2)
If the anti-static surface was not covered within 24 hours, wipe the surface with
naptha-moistened cheesecloth and apply Class I Primer (MIL-P-23377),
Urethane Compatible Primer Yellow Base DeSoto #513 x 329, or equivalent.
3)
Apply two (2) coats of Polyurethane or Epoxy Enamel Topcoat (Customers

option). Apply first Topcoat layer within 48 hours of Primer application or
recondition Primer by sanding (400 grit or less) and solvent wipe with either
Methyl Chloroform or MEK.
