206 Question

[100ft]

Recently I had opportunity to see first hand an unrelated but nevertheless interesting maintenance issue arise on a 13000hr 206b3. Inside the console btwn the frt seats was found the wet line feeding the torque meter almost completely worn through at one point by a neighbouring wire harness. This particular machine has little in the way of unique add-ons and is fairly 'standard' in equip layout. A chance decision to re-arrange some radios led to this discovery. Is it a known problem to have these lines rupture due to external friction wear or more likely a rare phenomenon?

Looks like the donkey may be u/s; beneath it appear to be numerous 'freewheel unit chips', and therefore the donkey was taken out of service.

Gentlemen,

I dont know about you but it is against company policy to leave the contols of the beast while idling. With that amount of " Horsepower " who knows what can happen. Cheers.

I would recommend bringing the donk down slowly from fright idle to ground idle. If brought down too quickly the donk may run away in an overspeed condition.
