x
6
mainor nose gear tires to
22
psi and the
15 x 6.00 x 6 mainor nose gear tires to 40 psi. Maintain-
ing proper tire inflation will minimize tread wear and a id in
preventing tire failure caused from running over sharp
stones. When inflating tires, visually inspect them for
eraeks and breaks.
NOTE
Beech Aircraft Corporation cannot recom-
mend the use of recapped tires . Recapped tires
have a tendency to swell as a result of the in-
creased temperature generated during takeoff.
lncreased tire size can jeopardize proper func-
tion of the Ianding gear with the possibility of
damage to the Ianding gear.
SHIMMY DAMPER
A hydraulic shimmy damper is mounted on the nose wheel
strut yoke. Whenever this component develops an ex-
terna! leak or a skip in the damping action, it should be
replaced.
