Landing Gear Servicing

The main landing gear wheel assemblies use 15 x 6.00 x 6, six-ply
rating tires and tubes. The nose wheel assembly uses a 5.00 x 5 six-
ply rating, type III tire and tube. Always keep tires inflated to the rated
pressure to obtain optimum performance 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

Brake Replenishing
The brake system is filled with MIL-H-5606 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 the AMM.
To replenish brake fluid:
1. Chock tires and release parking brake.
2. Remove top engine cowling to gain access to hydraulic fluid
reservoir.
3. Clean reservoir cap and area around cap before opening reservoir
cap.
4. Remove cap and add MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid as necessary to
fill reservoir.
5. Install cap, inspect area for leaks, and then install and secure
engine cowling.
