                 Requirement: 1. Determine if the AC generator interlock relays are installed by conducting the following inspection:

                   1. uncover the No 2 relay panel located in the right side of the cockpit overhead (this panel is also referred to as the right-hand panel), and

                  b.    inspect for the presence of the AC generator interlock relays identified as K43 and K44 (two relays) or K46, K47 and K48 (three relays).

               Note 1: For S-76A helicopters, Serial Number (S/N) 760001 through 760237 inclusive, the AC generator interlock relays are wired through splice groups to the K31, K32, K11 and K13 relays. For S-76A helicopters, S/N 760238 and higher, the AC generator interlock relays are wired through splice groups to the K11 and K13 relays. Depending on how and when each helicopter was modified, the labels on these relays could be K43 and K44 (two relays) or K46, K47 and K48 (three relays).

                 2.    If, following the Requirement 1 inspection, the AC generator interlock relays are found to be installed, no further action is necessary. However, if the AC generator interlock relays are not installed, fabricate and install, in clear view of the pilot, a placard stating:
