Applicability:
Applies to all serials up to and including Number NAV-4-947

Compliance: Compliance required prior to September 1, 1947

Procedure: Due to malfunctioning of the hydraulic system which has resulted in the failure of components of that system, including actuating cylinders, the following modifications must be accomplished:

(a) If an engine-driven hydraulic pump is installed in the airplane, rework the hydraulic power system to install the manually controlled relief valve, North American P/N 145-58027, and replace the existing placard "Hyd.
