(8) Mixing units. Mixing units combine four
motions from the cockpit (pitch, roll, yaw, and thrust)
and convert them into two outputs. Inspect and
maintain in accordance with the applicable maintenance
manual.
(9) Drive chains. Replace defective links in
chains and maintain in accordance with applicable
maintenance manual.
(10) Speed rigs. Speed rigs are fitted in the
cable assembly for the purpose of making rapid minor
adjustments.

a.
Types. The forced air heating system,
combustion heater, and pressurized system are used by
Army aircraft. Each is explained in the following
paragraphs.
(1)
Forced air heating system. Heated air
is provided for crew comfort, deicing, defrosting, and
anti-icing Air is forced into muffs or jackets installed
around the tailpipes The air routed through the muff or
jacket picks up heat by convection through the tailpipe
material. The heated air is then routed to an air-to-air
heat exchanger before going on to perform various
heating functions. Maintenance to this type of system is
limited, and will consist of the following:
WARNING
Drycleaning solvent is flammable
and solvent vapors are toxic Use P-
D-680, Type II Solvent in a well-
ventilated area Keep away from open
flames. Avoid prolonged solvent
contact with skin.
(a)
Wash all metal parts of heating
system in drycleaning solvent, Federal Specification P-
D-680. Wash flexible tubing with mild soap, Federal
Specification P-S-620, and water.
(b)
Lubricate
valve
cranks
and
push-pull levers with a small amount of molybdenum-
disulfide technical powder, MIL-M-7866.
(c)
Pressure-test any repair made
to heat exchanger tube before installation. A repaired
tube is considered a temporary measure and will be
replaced when parts become available.
NOTE
Heaters with an engine exhaust
heat
source
require
an
operational
test
for
carbon
monoxide
levels
upon
installation of the heater or
following
extensive
heat
exchanger
maintenance,
modification,
or
suspected
malfunction.
The test will be performed at heat
duct opening with the heater full
on and the engines operating at
full military power. An indication
of 50 parts per million (ppm/0.005
percent)
or
greater
requires
corrective action prior to heater
use. Suggested test equipment
is
Detector
Kit,
Carbon
Monoxide,
Colorimetric,
NSN
6665-00-618-1482 and Indicator
Tubes, Carbon Monoxide, NSN
6665-00-276-7545.
(2)
Combustion
heater.
The
combustion heater provides heat by routing outside air
past a burner section. The outside air picks up heat by
convection from the burner section and is then routed to
perform various heating functions. Maintenance of
heater between overhauls will normally consist of
inspection, cleaning, or replacement of parts as
explained in the following procedures:
WARNING
Drycleaning solvent is flammable
and solvent vapors are toxic. Use P-
D-680, Type II Solvent in a well-
ventilated area. Keep away from
open flames. Avoid prolonged
solvent contact with skin.
CAUTION
Do not use a metal instrument, as it
may damage core passage.
(a)
Clean core tip and body of
spray nozzle with drycleaning solvent, Federal
Specification P-D-680. Use a wooden stick to scrape off
any dirt remaining on spray nozzle.
