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.
GR.OUND HANDLING.
The
airplane
is most
easily
and safely
maneuvered
by hand with
the
tow-bar
attached
to the
nose wheel.
NOTE
When
using
the tow-bar,
never
exceed
the turning
angle
of
30°,
either
side
of center,
or damage
to
the
gear
will result.
MOORING
YOUR
AIRPLANE.
Proper
tie-down
procedure
is your best
precaution
against
damage
to
your parked
airplane
by gusty
or strong
winds.
To
tie
down your air-
plane
securely,
proceed
as follows:
(1)
Set
the
parking
brake
and
install
the
control
wheel
lock.
(2)
Tie sufficiently
strong
ropes
or
chains
(700 pounds
tensile
strength)
to
wing,
tail
and nose
tie-down
rings
and
secure
each
rope
to
a
ramp
tie-down.
