A. Airfoil -Description and Operation (continued)
1. Operationalcheck.
Check pneumatic deicing system on the ground at least every 100 hours including a visual inspectionof the deicer boots.
With one engine operatingat 80% Ng, turn on deicing system. The pressurewillfluctuateas tubes
inflate and deflate. Checkpneumaticpressuregauge.If pressure is satisfactory, check operation
of deicers for a malfunction andlook for tubes which leak or fail to inflate and deflate properly.
Repeat procedure forother engine.
2. Electricaltest.
With engines off, turn airplane battery switch on.
(a) DeicerValves. Check valves beneath center floorboard aft of Fuselage Station 154.00. Turn system switch on. One valve must actuate immediately for 6 ± 0.5 seconds with an audible click which can be felt if a hand is placed on valve. The other valve must actuate 6 ± 0.5 seconds after the first and remain actuate for 6 + 0.5 seconds. If either valve does not function, follow instructions below:
(1.) Disconnect wires at valve. Attach test light or other suitable test equipment to connector and reactuate system switch. If test equipment does not indicate complete circuit, completethe following checks: (a.) Check circuit from timer to valve connector to ground. (b.) Replace timer (refer to PA-42-720 (Advanced Trainer) Parts Catalog).
(2.) Use an ohmmeter to check valve for an open circuit. If valve circuit is open, replace valve.
3. Pressureleakage test. (Figures 1 and 501)
(a)
Removeappropriate floor panels to gain access to deicer solenoid valves under floor at Fuselage Station 157.00, near center of fuselage.

(b)
Disconnect pressure/vacuum line from outboard boots valve. Connect test apparatus to line (shown in Figure 501).

NOTE: Use only clean and oil-free shop air. Shop air source must be capable of applying at least 18 psig.
(c)
Attachshop air to test apparatus with control valve closed. Adjust regulator until19 psig registerspressuregauge (number 1) ahead of control valve.

(d)
Slowly open control valve to inflate outboardwingdeicer boots.

(e)
Allow system to stabilize and close control valve. With pressuretrapped in system, check pressuregauge (number 2) downstream ofcontrol valve. Ensure leakageratedoes not exceed3 psig per minute.

(1.) If system does not hold required pressure, use soapy water to find leaks. (2.) If connections leak excessively, tighten as much as possible. Replace as necessary. Do not use thread sealants on threaded fittings.
