Task Instructions
RIGGING
1. Jack the aircraft up so that the nose gear is clear of the ground. (796 Empty Weight and CG Measurement While on Jackpoint Scales)
Note: 
Allow gear to extend under its own weight (no additional weight added).
2. If the landing gear is in the up position, verify MASTER switch is OFF and the landing gear is currently UP. Move LANDING GEAR switch to DOWN position then turn MASTER switch ON to allow the landing gear to extend fully. Turn MASTER switch OFF.
3. If adjustment is necessary, adjust the NLG extended position by adjusting the most forward limit switch. See Landing Gear Actuator Limit Switch Adjustment Procedure or Landing Gear Actuator Limit Switch Adjustment Procedure depending on Aircraft Serial Number for actuator rigging and adjustment.
CAUTION: 
Special care should be given to make sure this forward rig is set correctly.
4. Insert RIG PIN through the hole, the stops on the NLG actuator extended travel position should be adjusted such that the RIG PIN fits. The looser the rig pin fits, the better the NLG rigging is.
5. Lower aircraft, to allow full aircraft weight on landing gear.
Verification Method
Operational Check—Confirm that a 0.163 MIN diameter jig pin can be inserted into the rig pin hole. Verify that the landing gear indicates fully down.
