FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 MINUTES.
(5) CLOSE HIGH PRESSURE BYPASS, REDUCE PRESSURE TO 500 PSI,
SET POWER SWITCH TO OFF, AND SHUTDOWN ENGINE.
(6) SAMPLE THE FLUID IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHUTDOWN. THE AGPU
SHOULD BE LOCATED IN A SHELTERED AREA AS FREE AS POSSIBLE FROM RAIN
OR AIRBORNE CONTAMINATION. TAKE A SAMPLE FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE
GAUGE CALIBRATION PORT ON THE AGPU HYDRAULIC CONTROL PANEL. USE AN
EMPTY QUART CAN OR SIMILAR WASTE RECEPTACLE TO COLLECT FLUID THAT
WILL BE DRAINED FROM THE PORT BEFORE AND AFTER THE SAMPLE IS TAKEN.
(7) USE A 3-OUNCE AOAP PLASTIC BOTTLE TO COLLECT SAMPLE
AS FOLLOWS -
(A) CLOSE THE GAUGE SHUTOFF VALVE AND FULLY OPEN THE
HIGH PRESSURE BLEED VALVE. REMOVE THE CAP FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE
GAUGE CALIBRATION PORT. OPEN THE HIGH PRESSURE GAUGE SHUTOFF VALVE
AND DRAIN APPROXIMATELY 3 OUNCES OF FLUID INTO THE WASTE RECEPTACLE.
THIS PROCEDURE SERVES TO FLUSH AWAY ANY CONTAMINANTS IN THE SAMPLING
LINE AND ANY CONTAMINANTS GENERATED BY VALVE OPERATIONS.
(B) WITHOUT INTERRUPTING THE FLOW OF FLUID, PLACE A
CLEAN 3-OZ AOAP SAMPLE BOTTLE UNDER THE FLUID STREAM AND PARTIALLY
FILL BOTTLE (APPROX. 1/4 INCH FROM BOTTOM). REMOVE BOTTLE FROM
STREAM AND SHUT OFF FLOW.
(C) CAP BOTTLE AND SHAKE VIGOROUSLY. REMOVE CAP AND
DRAIN BOTTLE INTO WASTE RECEPTACLE.

UNITS SHOULD FOLLOW THOSE PROVIDED IN PARA 8C FOR THE AGPU. THE
HYDRAULIC FLUID, INCLUDING THAT IN THE GSE RESERVOIR SHOULD BE
WARM AND RECENTLY CIRCULATED THROUGH THE HIGH PRESSURE FILTER
PRIOR TO SAMPLING. SAMPLING WILL NORMALLY BE TAKEN DOWN STREAM
FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE OUTPUT FILTER.
9. CORRECTION PROCEDURES -
A. CONTAMINATION OF THE HYDRAULIC FLUID CAN BE CONTROLLED
THROUGH CAREFUL ATTENTION TO ALL EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES USED TO
SERVICE AND MAINTAIN AIRCRAFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS. HYDRAULIC FLUID
MUST BE KEPT IN SEALED CONTAINERS TO LIMIT ABSORPTION OF WATER
AND CONTAMINATION WITH AIRBORNE PARTICLES. USE OF HYDRAULIC
SERVICING UNITS/DISPENSERS THAT AUTOMATICALLY SEAL THE FLUID
CONTAINER AS IT IS PIERCED TO KEEP OUT MOISTURE AND CONTAMINATION
IS RECOMMENDED. ALL HYDRAULIC HOSE CONNECTORS WILL BE COVERED
WITH A CAP OR PLUG WHEN NOT IN USE. METAL PLUGS WITH O-RING SEALS
ARE RECOMMENDED IN PLACE OF PLASTIC CAPS. SEE PARA 10C FOR
RECOMMENDED ITEMS FOR USE IN THIS APPLICATION.
B. THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ARE REQUIRED IF THE AOAP RECOMMENDS
THE AGPU BE DRAINED AND REFILLED BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE PARTICULATE
CONTAMINATION -
