GROUND HANDLING
TOWING
The airplane is most easily and safely
maneuvered
by hand
with
the tow bar attached to the nose wheel (the tow bar is stowed
on
the floor in the baggage area). When towing with a vehicle, do
not
exceed the nose gear turning angle
of 29'
either side of center,
or
damage
to
the nose landing gear
will
result.

REMOVE
ANY INSTALLED RUDDER LOCK
BEFORE
TOWING.
lf
the
airplane
is towed or pushed over a
rough surface
during
hangaring, watch
that the normal cushioning
action
of the nose
strut
does not cause excessive vertical movement
of the tail and
the
resulting
contact with low hangar doors or
structure.
A flat nose
tire
or
deflated
strut
will also increase
tail
height.
PARKING
-
When parking
the
airplane,
head into the wind and set
the
lparking brake. Do not set the parking brake
during cold weather
when accumulated moisture may freeze the brakes,
or
when
the
brakes are overheated. lnstall the control wheel lock and chock
the
wheels. ln
severe
weather and high wind
conditions,
tie the
airplane
down as outlined
in
the
following
paragraph.
TIE.DOWN
Proper tie-down
procedure
is
the
best precaution against damage
to the
parked airplane
by
gusty
or
strong winds. To tie-down
the
airplane securely, proceed as follows:
1.
Set
the parking brake and install the control wheel
lock.
2.
lnstall
a
surface control lock over
the
fin and
rudder.
3.
Tie
sufficiently
strong ropes
or
chains (700 pounds
tensile
strength)
to
the
wing,
tail
and
nose tie-down fittings
and
secure each rope or chain
to a
ramp
tie-down.
4.
lnstall
