axle. The nose wheel is removed by taking off the hub nut and
withdrawing the axle bolt, the axle retainer cups, and the axle
from the nose wheel fork.
Tires are dismounted from the wheels by deflating the tube,
then removing the wheel through-bolts, allowing the wheel halves
to be separated. In reassembling the wheels, care should be
taken to torque the bolts properly, according to instruction on
the wheels and reassembling for proper balance.
TIRE INFLATION
For maximum service from the tires, keep the Aztec main
tire inflated to 46 lbs. and the nose tire to 27 lbs. When inflating
tires, visually inspect them for cracks and breaks. Reverse the
tires on the wheels, if necessary, to produce even wear. All
Aztec wheels and tires are balanced before original installation,
and the relationship of tire, tube and wheel should be maintained
upon reinstallation. Out-of-balance wheels can cause extreme
vibration in the landing gear during take-off and landing.
CARE OF WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS
The windshield and windows are made of plexiglas and a
certain amount of care is required to keep them clean and clear.
The following procedure is suggested:
1. Flush with clean water and dislodge excess dirt, mud,
etc., with your hand.
2. Wash with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth
or sponge. (Do not rub.)
3. Remove oil, grease or sealing compounds with a cloth
soaked in kerosene.
