lated moisture may freeze the brakes, or when the brakes are overheated.
Close the cowl flaps, install the control wheel lock and chock the wheels. In ,,,--.. ,
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. Install a surface control lock over the fin and rudder.
3. Tie sufficiently strong ropes or chains (700 pounds tensile
strength) to the wing and tail tie-down fittings and secure each
rope or chain to a ramp tie-down.
4. Ti e a rope (no chains or cables) to the nose gear torque link and
secure to a ramp tie-down.
5. Install a pitot tube cover.
JACKING
When a requirement exists to jack the entire airplane off the ground, or
when wing jack points are used in the jacking operation, refer to the
Service Manual for specific procedures and equipment required.
Individual main gear may be jacked by using the jack pad whichis
incorporated in the main landing gear strut step assembly.When using the
individual gear strut jack pad, flexibility of the gear strut will cause the
main wheel to slide inboard as the wheelis raised, tilting the j ack. The jack
must then be lowered for a second jacking operation. Do not jack both main
wheels simultaneously using the individual main gear jack pads.
If
nose gear maintenance is required, the nose wheel may be r aised off
the ground by pressing down on a tailcone bulkhead, just forward of the
horizontal stabilizer, and allowing the tail to rest on the tail tie-down ring.
NOTE
Do not apply pressure on the elevator or outboard horizon-
tal stabilizer surfaces. When pushing on the tailcone,
always apply pressure at a bulkhead to avoid buckling the
skin.
To assist in raising and holding the nose wheel off the ground, weight
down the tail by placing sand-bags, or suitable weights, on each side of the
horizontal stabilizer, next to the fuselage.
If
ground anchors are available,
