LEVELING
SECTION 8
HANDLING, SERVICE
&
MAINTENANCE
Longitudinal leveling of the airplane is accomplished by placing a
level on the leveling screws located on the left side of the tailcone. Deflate
the nose tire and/ or lower or raise the nose strut to properly center the
bubble in the level. Corresponding points on both upper door sills may be
used to level the airplane laterally.
FLYABLE STORAGE
Airplanes pI Ci-ced in non-operatIOnal storage for a maximum of 30 days
or those which
n~cei
ve only intermittent operational use for the first 25
hours are considered in flyable storage status. Every seventh day during
these periods, the propeller should be rotated by hand through five
revolutions. This Ci-ctlon "limbers" the oil and prevents any accumulation
of corrosion on engine cylinder walls.
WARNING
For maximum safety, check that the ignition switch is
OFF, the throttle is closed, the mIxture control is in the idle
cut-off position, and the airplane is secured before rotating
the propeller by hand. Do not stand within the arc of the
propeller blades while turning the propeller.
After 30 days. the airplane should be flown for 30 minutes or a ground
run up should be made just long enough to produce an oil temperature
within the lower green arc range. Excessive ground runup should be
avoided.
l<:ngine runup also helps to elimmate excessive accumulations of
water in the fue

system and other air spaces in the engine. Keep fuel tanks
full to minimize condensation in the tanl{s. Keep the battery fully charged

be stored temporarily. or indefinitely. refer to the Service Manual for
