NOTE
Remove all rudder locks before ground
handling to prevent possible damage to the
rudder interconnect pulley bracket.
When
using the tow bar, never exceed the nose-
wheel turning radius limits of 55° either
side of center.
Structural damage may occur
if the turn limits are exceeded.
Do not
push or pull on propellers or control sur-
faces when moving the aircraft on the
ground.
MOORING YOUR AIRCRAFT
Proper tie-down procedure is your best precaution against
damage to your parked aircraft by gusty or strong winds.
To
tie-down your aircraft securely, proceed as follows:
(1)
Set the parking brake and install control wheel
lock.
(2)
Tie strong ropes or chains (700 pounds tensile
strength) to wing tie-down fittings.
(3)
Caster the nosewheel to the extreme left or right
position.
(4)
Tie a strong rope or chain (700 pounds tensile
strength) to the tail tie-down fitting.
(Do not
impose side loads on tie-down fitting.)
(5)
Recommend installation of pitot tube cover.
WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD
The plastic windshield and windows should be kept clean
and waxed at all times.
To prevent scratches and crazing,
wash them carefully with plenty of soap and water, using the
palm of the hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft
cloth, chamois or sponge may be used, but only to carry water
to the surface.
Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a clean,
moist chamois.
Rubbing the surface of the plastic with a dry
cloth builds up an electrostatic charge which attracts dust
