CHECK the ELECTRIC TRIM as follows:

b. Depress the split pilot yoke-mounted Electric Trim switches
simultaneously forward, then aft, verifying each time that the
stabilator trim wheel and its indicator moves in the appropriate
direction.
c. While moving the stabilator trim in either direction, verify that the
control yoke cut-off switch disables the Electric Trim function.
d. While depressing the Electric Trim interrupt switch, verify that the
stabilator trim wheel stops. Verify that the stabiltor trim wheel moves
