Handling, Servicing, Maintenance
The airplane may be moved on the ground by the use of the nose
wheel steering bar that is stowed in the rear baggage compartment or
by power equipment that will not damage or excessively strain the
nose gear assembly. The steering bar is engaged by inserting it into
lugs just forward of the nose wheel axle.
• Caution •
While pushing the aircraft backward, the tow bar must be
installed to keep the nose wheel from turning abruptly.
Do not use the vertical or horizontal control surfaces or
stabilizers to move the airplane. If a tow bar is not available,
use the wing roots as push points.
Do not push or pull on control surfaces or propeller to
maneuver the airplane.
Do not tow the airplane when the main gear is obstructed with
mud or snow.
If the airplane is to be towed by vehicle, do not turn the nose
wheel more than 90 degrees either side of center or structural
damage to the nose gear could result.

Refer to Airplane Three View (Section 1, Figure 1-1) and Turning
Radius (Section 1, Figure 1-2)

a fuselage just forward of the horizontal stabilizer to raise the
nosewheel off the ground.
