CARE OF THE AIRPLANE
If your airplane is
to
retain
that
new plane performance
and depend-
ability, certain inspection and
maintenance requirements must be followed.
It is wise
to
follow
a planned schedule of lubrication
and preventative
main-
tenance
based on climatic and
flying
conditions encountered in your
locality.
Keep in
touch
with your
Cessna
Dealer and
take advantage
of his know-
ledge
and experience. He knows your airplane and how
to
maintain it. He
will remind you when lubrications and oil changes
are necessary,
and
about other seasonal
and
periodic services.
GROUND
HANDLING.
o
The airplane is most
easily
and safely
maneuvered by hand with
the
tow-bar
attached
to the
nosewheel.
¯
NOTE
When using
the tow-bar,
never exceed
the turning
angle of
30°, either
side of center,
or
damage
to
the
gear will result.
