Date: 12-31-2017
Number of Hours: 2.00
Manual Reference: DWG 5
Brief Description: Elevator - Right

Rivet E-713 to E-701, two rivets on the top and two rivets on the bottom (assembling this way eliminates the need for blind rivets). - This was an easy step and preferred to putting in blind rivets (Image 1). Loosely place E-714 in place nested inside E-713 with screws partially inserted. Insert the elevator skeleton into E-701-R/E-713 beginning at the front end of E-703/E-704 and then rotating the root end aft into proper position. Cleco and rivet E-701-R and E-713 to the understructure. Finish attaching E-714.
