7. LIFTING AND SHORING
7.00.00
General
The Base may be lifted using the main attachment point for the wing or alternatively parts of the base
may be lifted for local maintenance such as changing tyres. There are specific areas that have been
designated for these purposes.
7.10.00
Jacking
Front wheel
The front wheel is lifted by hand using the gap between the front wheel and the fibreglass pod. This is
located underneath and at the front. The base’s balance point allows easy lifting by hand from this
point. Alternatively a strap may be placed around the base tube for long term elevation of the front end.
Rear wheels:
The rear wheel may be lifted from the ground using the jacking point located underneath at the rear of
the base tube where the welded tie down point is located. As this point is jacked the rear of the trike will
rest on one of the rear wheels and the front wheel allowing each of the rear wheels to be maintained in
turn.
Lifting the entire Base
The entire base may be elevated from the ground using the main attachment point, the aircraft should
be elevated no more than is necessary.
CAUTION
NOT TO BE PERFORMED IF THE FUEL TANK IS FULL AS LEAKAGE WILL OCCUR FROM THE
FUEL TANK BREATHER TUBES.
