NOTES:
(1) Lifelimited components interchanged between models or configurations must be restricted to the lowest
service life indicated for the models or configurations affected. Lifelimited components removed at
retirement are to be mutilated/destroyed or conspicuously marked to prevent inadvertent return to service.
Parts are applicable only on models under which a service life is listed.
Lifelimited components cannot be altered or permanently marked in any manner without compromising
the part integrity. Part tagging or other record keeping system is required.
Related component records must be updated each time component is removed from service.
(2) Service life shown for the basic (no dash number) part numbers apply to all dash numbered versions
unless otherwise indicated.
(3) With no cargo hook attached: No retirement life assigned (Ref. Sec. 051000, Component Overhaul or
Recommended Replacement Schedule).
With cargo hook attached and no separate log: 1800 hours.
With cargo hook attached and with separate log: 1800 hours of external load operating time when logged
separately.

the 513 and 515 blades are interchangeable. The 505 and 509 configuration blades may be modified
to the 513M configuration, which is fully compatible with the 513 blade. (For information concerning
modification, contact MDHI Customer Service Department.)
(6) For the 369D/E helicopters, the 369D21120501, 503 main rotor blade has all the same inspections and
interchangeability as the 369D21100517 main rotor blade.

(5) Under some operating conditions, overrunning clutch splines may need to be regreased more often than at
the 100hour intervals and bearings may need to be regreased more often than at the 300hour intervals.
With no cargo hook attached, inspect and regrease splines every 100 hours and bearing every 300 hours
(Ref. Sec. 631000, Installation of Overrunning Clutch Subassembly and CSPCOM5, Ball Bearing
Inspection and Grease Repack).
With cargo hook attached, inspect sprag assembly, inner race and outer race every 300 hours or 300 hours
of actual hook time when logged separately as per FAR 91.417, regrease clutch splines every 100 hours
and bearing every 300 hours (Ref. Sec. 631000, Installation of Overrunning Clutch Subassembly and
CSPCOM5, Ball Bearing Inspection and Grease Repack).
(6) When inspected per Landing Gear Damper Inspection (Ref. Sec. 321000 for 369D/E/FF 500N, or Sec.
321060 for 600N).
(7) Use only main rotor hubs overhauled by MDHI or approved MDHI Licensees.
(8) Refer to data plate to determine start/generator manufacturer.
(9) The shelf life of bearings preserved with grease is limited to 4 years.
(10) Regrease overrunning clutch bearings every 300 hours (Ref. CSPCOM5, Sec. 631015).
(11) Interim hours: life extension testing in progress.
(12) The 369D25100 main rotor transmission overhaul time may be extended from a mandatory 3000 hour
overhaul time to a mandatory 4000 hour overhaul time, provided, the transmission is operated with Mobil
SHC626 since last overhaul.

AFTER MAIN ROTOR BLADE/DRIVE SYSTEM SUDDEN STOPPAGE
WARNING: Any component, assembly or detailed part that is removed for overhaul must be identified as
to the reason for removal. Components that require replacement must be scrapped.
Sudden stoppage of the main rotor and rotor drive system is any rapid deceleration of the main rotor drive
system. This may be caused by contact of one or more of the main rotor blades with the ground, water, snow,
dense vegetation or any other object of sufficient mass to cause deceleration or impact damage to the main
rotor blades.
A main rotor blade strike in which one or more of the main rotor blades exceed the repair limits in the
maintenance manual is defined as sudden stoppage.
Sudden stoppage of the main rotor may also occur simultaneously with hard landing in which the blades contact
the upper fuselage structure or the tailboom.
The inspection requirements, After Main Rotor Drive System Sudden Stoppage Level 1, is to be used when
sudden stoppage of the main rotor drive system has occurred.
After Main Rotor Drive System Sudden Stoppage Level 1
ALL Perform inspection of main rotor blades. Pay particular attention to the upper and 62
lower root fittings and attach lug areas. If inspection determines that one or more
blades have separation of the trailing edge bond, due to leading edge impact, the
blade is bent or shows evidence of a significant impact, and the damage occurred with
the engine running, perform the additional inspection in After Main Rotor Drive System
Sudden Stoppage Level 2.

Stoppage Level 2.
ALL Perform Main rotor Damper and Attachments Inspection. If damage to a damper is 622000
suspected, perform Main Rotor Damper Weight Loading and Extension Check. 622060

NOTES:
(1) Conduct visual inspections indoors or in shaded area to eliminate glare of sun or bright outdoor light.
(2) Removal of teflon covering is required for visual inspection of laminate edges. Use aluminum chisel,
fabricated from stock 0.025 x 6.00 x 0.100 inch (0.635 x 152.4 x 25.4 mm) to carefully scrape excess
interlaminate teflon sheets from both sides of strap pack between top and bottom shoes at outboard
attachment bolt of all five strap packs. Remove excess teflon from a point 1/2 inch (12.70 mm) outboard of
bolt centerline to 11/2 inches (38.1 mm) inboard of bolt centerline. Field fabricate and use plastic tool
(Ref. Figure 602). Run plastic tool in both directions along each laminate feeling for cracked laminate. Use
of plastic tool will ensure that shreds of teflon still hanging free does not obscure small cracks.
(3) Laminate has failed if crack is found in tongue area or if crack is found in both legs (lead and lag).
(4) Pay particular attention to shim installed at upper side of lead leg of each strap pack assembly. Maximum
of two shims may have been installed on top side of lead leg of strap pack to accommodate tolerance
buildup during strap pack assembly. If more than one shim is installed, pay particular attention to lower
shim when checking for cracks or breaks.
