frayed cables.
b. Install DAU in canvas carrying case.
c. Place DAU behind the pilot seat with the connectors faring up and secure DAU using canvas straps and
D-rings.
d. Remove hood assembly from one of the pilot's console lights. Remove the bulb. Plug AH-1S power cable
adapter (29317100), figure 2, into lamp socket. Ensure that the lamp intensity is set to full intensity (clockwise).
e. Connect grounding clip to a screw head or any non-painted metal surface, which will provide an adequate path
to aircraft ground.

PROCEDURE 2: ACCELEROMETER INSTALLATION
a. Install accelerometer (28110900) on accelerometer mounting bracket (29313000).
b. Mount accelerometer mounting bracket on bottom screw of the 90-degree gearbox fairing, see figure 9. Ensure
that the accelerometer is on the opposite side from the tail rotor and is installed perpendicular to the tail rotor
drive shaft (approximately 4:30 position).
c. Connect accelerometer cable (29105606) to accelerometer.
