Brake Service; Tire Inflation - Piper CHEROKEE 180 Owner's Handbook Manual

CHEROKEE 180 SECTION VI
The steering
arm
stops should
be
carefully
adjusted so
that the
nose
wheel
reaches
its full
travel
just
after the rudder hits
its
stops. This
guarantees
that
the rudder will be
allowed to move through
its
full
travel.
BRAKE SERVICE
The
brake
system
is filled
with MIL-H-5606
(Petroleum
base)
hydraulic
brake
fluid. This
should
be
checked
at
every
50
hour
inspection
and
replenished when
necessary
by
filling
the
brake
reservoir
on
the upper
left
front side of
the
firewall
to
the indicated level. If
the
system
as a whole
has to
be
refilled
with
fluid it
should
be done
from
the
brake
end
of
the
system by filling
with
fluid
under
pressure.
This
will
eliminate air from
the
system
as
it is being
filled.
No
adjustment
of
brake
clearances
is
necessary
on the Cherokee
brakes. If
after extended
service
the
brake blocks become worn
excessively,
they
are easily
replaced
with new
segments.
TIRE INFLATION
For maximum service
from
the
tires
on
the Cherokee,
keep
the
tires
inflated
to the
proper pressure
of
24 pounds for
all three
wheels.
Interchange
the
tires
on
the main wheels
if
necessary
to
produce
even
wear. All wheels
and tires
are balanced
before
original
installation, and
the relationship
of the
tire,
tube,
and wheel
should
be
maintained
if
at
all
possible.
Unbalanced
wheels can
cause
extreme
vibration on
take-off.
In
the
installation
of new components
it
may
be
necessary to
rebalance the
wheel
with the
tire
mounted.
