AMPHIBIOUS FLOATS
An emergency hand pump is located on the floor to the
right of the front seat. It should be used to retract or
extend the landing gear when the normal hydraulic
system fails.
Figure 9-11-22 Emergency Hydraulic Hand Pump
Prior to utilizing the emergency hand pump, pull the
circuit breaker to deactivate the electric hydraulic pump.
At night, turn the E. Pump Light on. Select UP or DOWN
using the emergency landing gear selector handle. Pump
vertically (approximately as much as 120 cycles for
extension or retraction) with the emergency hand pump.
When a gear reaches the selected position, its indicator
light will illuminate. After all four gears are in the selected
position there is a noted increase in the resistance of the
operation of the hand pump.
The landing gear is mechanically locked in the down and
the up positions. If there has been a leak in the hydraulic
system, it may not be possible to retract or extend the
landing gear.
