Section 4 Normal procedures
4.2 Rigging and derigging
new subsection
4.2.8 Extension and retraction of the electrically operated main landing
gear
Extension see 4.5.12.1 normal procedures
Warning: The main landing gear can only take up the weight of the glider when
fully extended and locked. Therefore it is esential that during extension of the
landing gear no load is applied to the main wheel. Lift the trailer ramp high
enough. If there is a risk that the ramp may come down while the landing gear is
extending secure the ramp, e.g. with blocks.
If such a case happens nevertheless switch the landing gear to retraction. To
accomplish this you must switch up and hold the toggle switch and press the
press button simultaneously 3 times within 2 seconds.
Warning: If you operate the retraction or extension the landing gear will travel
to the up or down stop. So make sure that there are no obstacles which may be
caught by the landing gear to prevent damage or injuries.
You can stop the travelling by switching the toggle switch in the reverse
direction and pressing the press button simultaneously
