In jacking the aircraft for landing gear or other service, two hydraulic
jacks and a tailstand should be used. At least250 pounds of ballastshould be
placed on the base of the tailstand before the airplane is jacked up. The
hydraulic jacks should be placed under the jack points on the bottom of the
wing and the airplane jacked up until the tailskid is at the right height to
attach the tailstand. After the tail stand is attached and the ballast added,
jacking may be continued untilthe airplane is atthe height desired.
The steering arms from the rudder pedals to the nose wheel are adjusted
