Landing Gear Servicing

The main landing gear wheel assemblies use 15 x 6.00 x 6 tubeless tires. The
nose wheel assembly uses a 5.00 x 5 tubeless tire.
Always keep tires inflated to the rated pressure to obtain optimum perfor-
mance and maximum service. The landing gear struts do not require
servicing. With the exception of replenishing brake fluid, wheel and brake
servicing must be accomplished in accordance with AMM procedures.

Brake Servicing

To Replenish Brake Fluid
The brake system is filled with MIL-PRF-87257 hydraulic brake fluid. The
fluid level should be checked at every oil change and at the
annual/100-hour inspection, replenishing the system when necessary. The
brake reservoir is located on the right side of the battery support frame.
If the entire system must be refilled, refer to AMM Chapter 12:
1. Install chocks.
2. Release parking brake.
3. Remove top engine cowling to gain access to hydraulic fluid reservoir.
4. Clean reservoir cap and area around cap before opening reservoir cap.
5. Remove cap and add MIL-PRF-87257 hydraulic fluid as necessary to
fill reservoir.
6. Install cap, inspect area for leaks, and then install and secure engine
cowling.

Tire Inflation

For maximum service from the tires, keep them inflated to the proper pres-
sure. When checking tire pressure, examine the tires for wear, cuts, nicks,
bruises and excessive wear.
