i. DESCRIPTION

1.1 The 3-1197 wheel is designed for use with 8.90 12.50, Type III, six-ply
rated, low-pressure, tubeless tire, and has a maximum static rating of 1900
Ib. The wheel consists of the following parts.

1.2 Inner (27) and outer (20) cast magnesium wheel halves are bolted together
with bolts (11) and nuts (9). Washers (10, 12) are used beneath the nuts
and bolt heads to prevent galling and stress concentration. A packing (13)
mounted in the groove in the inner wheal half seals against air leaking
from tubeless tires.

1.3 Bearing cups (19, 26) and cones (8) are installed in the hub area of both
wheel halves. Balance weights (14, 22), to balance the wheel, are fastened
with nuts (15, 23) and screws (16, 24) to the inner surfaces; and an in-
struction plate (17) is fastened to the outer wheel half (20). A tubeless
valve (1 thru 6), installed in the outer wheel half, is used to inflate or

deflate the tire.

2. ASSEMBLY

2.1 The wheel is shipped from the factory completely assembled. The bearings
are packed with the proper grease and may be installed as received. To
install´•the tire, proceed as follows.

2.2 Removenuts (9), washers (10, 12), bolts (11), and separate the wheel
halves (20, 27).

2.3 Remove packing (13) from its package and install on the inner wheel half
(27). Mount tire on the inner wheel half.

2.4 Assemble the outer wheel half (20) onto the inner wheel half (27).

2.5 Install bolts (11), washers (10, 12), and nuts (9). Tighten the nuts to
240 to 260 Ib inch torque, using the following procedure.

2.5.1 Apply a generous coat of thread compound, specification MIL-T-5544, to

threads of bolts (11), faces of washers (10, 12), and bearing face of
nuts(9). Tighten to 192 Ib inch torque, four nuts, approximately
diametrically opposite and at 900.

2.5.2 Stagger-tighten the remaining nuts to 192 Ib inch torque, then, using
the same procedure, retighten all nuts to 240 to 260 Ib inch torque.

NOTE: Do not use impact wrench when applying final torque.

Use hand torque w~ench only.

3.2 Install wheel onto axle being’ careful not to damage the grease seals (7)
located on each side of the wheel.

3.3 Install axle nut. While rotating wheel, torque axle nut to 30 ft-lbs to
properly bearings.
seat Loosen axle nut to zero torque, and while rotating
wheel, retighten to 15 ft-lbs. Check for alignment of locking hole. If
locking holes are not aligned, continue tightening to first locking hole
and safety-lock axle nut.

3.4 Inflate tire.

4. MAINTENANCE (While equipment is on aircraft)

4.1 Inspect wheel half flanges for cracks and corrosion.

4.2 Check for loose bolts and nuts and retighten or replace.

NOTE: No repair or replacement is reconrmended while equipment

is on the aircraft except the tightening or replacing
of bolts and nuts.

4.3 At each tire change visually inspect wheel halves for evidence c´•f corrosion
(white powder on surface) noting especially the bead seat area (tire con-
tact surface) and the tie-bolt hole areas. Corrosion areas which can be
removed by sanding with emery cloth (240 grit) may be touched up with Dow
No. 19 solution, followed by zinc chromate
(MIL-P-8585) primer. Faint all
bare magnesium.

NOTE: Bare magnesium color, the protective finishes

is silver in
put on the wheelfactory is gold (Dow g7).
at the If corro-
sion cannot be removed by sanding down to bare metal within
the limits given in Figure 5-2, the wheel should not be
continued in service.

4.4 To replace a valve core (2, Figure 6-1)., use a standard extraction tool to
unscrew the valve core. If the valve stem (5) is replaced, a new grommet
(5) should be installed on the stem.

5. OVERHAUL

5.1 _Dismountin.

5.1.1 Deflate tire. Remove valve core (2) from valve stem (6) to assure com-

plete deflation. Remove outer seal (7) and bearing cone 18). Dismount
