NOTE
Do not apply pressure on the outboard stabilator surfaces. When pushing
on the tailcone, always apply pressure at a bulkhead to avoid buckling the
skin
To assist in raising and holding the nose wheel off the ground, weight down the tail by placing
sand-bags, or suitable weights, on each side of the stabilator, next to the fuselage. If ground
anchors are available, the tail should be securely tied down.
NOTE
Ensure that the nose will be held off the ground under all conditions by
means of suitable stands or supports under weight supporting bulkheads
near the nose of the airplane.
LEVELING
Longitudinal leveling of the airplane is accomplished by placing a level on leveling screws on
the side of the tailcone. Deflate the nose tire and/or raise the nose strut to properly center the
bubble in the level. A level placed across the front seat rails, at corresponding points, is used
to level the airplane laterally.
FLYABLE STORAGE
Airplanes placed in non-operational storage for a maximum of 30 days or those which receive
only intermittent operations use for the first 25 hours are considered in flyable storage status.
Every seventh day during these periods, the propeller should be rotated by hand through five
revolutions. This action “limbers” the oil and prevents any accumulation of corrosion on engine
cylinder walls.
WARNING
For maximum safety, check that the ignition switch is OFF, the throttle is
closed, the mixture control is in the idle cut-off position, and the airplane is
secured before rotating the propeller by hand. Do not stand within the arc
of the propeller blades while turning the propeller.
After 30 days, the airplane should be flow for 30 minutes or a ground runup should be make
just long enough to produce an oil temperature within the lower green arc range. Excessive
ground runup should be avoided.
