Preliminary Requirements

Procedure

1. SUBTASK 70-35-25-350-045 Replace the Ties

   1. NOTE

      Lace the wire bundles together tightly. All the breakouts from the harness must be in the same plane as the wire bundle centreline (refer to Figure). Keep the wires in the harness as straight as possible and make sure the wires are not twisted. When the harness is more than 1.5 in. (38.10 mm) in diameter, it must be laced two times at each position.

      Remove the ties that are damaged, or those necessary to give access to the damaged cables.

      1. Make a note of the position of the ties that follow: The general ties, the ties which identify the positions of the general clamps, the ties which identify the positions of the datum clamps and the ties at the connection of the two wire bundles.

   2. Replace the general ties as necessary.

      1. Refer to Figure and Figure for the procedure for lacing the wire bundles. use CoMat 02-159 LACING TAPE to tie the wire bundles. Put the ties not more than 2.0 in. (50.80 mm) apart.

   3. Replace the ties at a general clamp position, as necessary.

      1. Refer to Figure and Figure for the procedure for lacing the wire bundles. Use CoMat 02-184 LACING TAPE (black) to tie the wire bundles on the general clamp position. Use CoMat 02-159 LACING TAPE to tie the wire bundles approximately 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) from the centre of the general clamp position.

   4. Replace the ties at a datum clamp position, as necessary.

      1. Refer to Figure and Figure for the procedure for lacing the wire bundles. Use CoMat 02-184 LACING TAPE (black) to tie the wire bundles. Put the ties approximately 0.335 in. (8.50 mm) from the center of the datum clamp position.

   5. Replace the ties at the connection of two wire bundles, as necessary.

      1. Refer to Figure for the procedure for lacing the wire bundles. Use CoMat 02-159 LACING TAPE to tie the wire bundles. Start the procedure at a point between the No 1 and the No 2 bundles and do the steps that follow:

         1. Make a clove hitch around the No 1 bundle.

         2. Pull each end of the tape so that it is tight. Pull the end A away from the lacing C that holds the No 1 and No 2 bundles together. Look in the direction of arrow D. Wind the end B around the No 2 bundle in a counter clockwise direction for one turn. Put the end of the tape between the No 1 and No 2 bundles. Continue to wind the tape around the No 1 bundle in a clockwise direction for one turn. Make sure that the end B is above the end A.

         3. Repeat the step above until you wind the bundles six times.

         4. Pull the end B after each winding so that the lacing is tight. Use a blunt tool to make a clearance between the No 1 and the No 2 bundles. Wind the end A around the six laces and between the No 1 and the No 2 bundles. Do this in a counter clockwise direction for one turn. Wind the end B around the six laces and between the No 1 and the No 2 bundles. Repeat this in a clockwise direction for one turn.

         5. Repeat the step above until you wind the laces three times.

         6. Pull the ends of the tape after each winding so that the lacing is tight. Complete the lacing with a square knot.

2. SUBTASK 70-35-25-350-046 Examine the Repaired Areas

   1. Examine the repaired area.

      1. Make sure that the repaired area has no damage and that it agrees with the repair instruction.

3. SUBTASK 70-35-25-350-047 Seal the Ties

   1. 
      WARNING
      KEEP FLAMES AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT FLAMEPROOF AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA. THE SILICONE VARNISH IS FLAMMABLE.
      
      WARNING
      DO NOT GET THE SILICONE VARNISH ON YOUR SKIN OR IN YOUR EYES. PUT ON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, GLOVES, GOGGLES AND A MASK. DO NOT BREATHE THE FUMES. IF YOU GET THE VARNISH ON YOUR SKIN OR IN YOUR EYES, GET MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY.

      Seal the ties.

      1. Use CoMat 02-018 BRUSH, PAINT and CoMat 07-084 SILICONE VARNISH. Apply the varnish to the knot of each of the ties. When the varnish is dry cut off the two ends of the ties approximately 0.350 in. (8.90 mm) from the knot.

4. SUBTASK 70-35-25-350-058 Identify the Repair

   1. Make a mark VRS7002/H on the identification sleeve of the harness adjacent to the part number.

      1. Use permanent marker.
