Patent ID: 7654093

Claim:
A method of adjusting a triggering clearance of a gas turbine engine fuel shut-off mechanism including a safety fuel shut-off lever, the method comprising the steps of: a) mounting a trigger to a stationary structure of the gas turbine engine, the trigger having first and second engaged members for joint axial displacement when triggered, the trigger having an adjustable length extending from a first end to a second opposed end, the first and second ends being respectively provided by said first and second members, wherein mounting the trigger comprises axially abutting the second member against a front reference surface on the fuel shut-off lever and locking the second member against rotation relative to the stationary structure while allowing rearward axial movement of the second member together with the first member relative to the stationary structure, and then b) adjusting the triggering clearance by varying the length of the trigger, and wherein varying the length of the trigger includes selectively fixing an axial adjustive position between the first and second members.
