Handling, Servicing, Maintenance
The aircraft should not be operated with overheated, damaged, or
leaking brakes. Conditions include, but are not limited to:
• Leaking brake fluid at the caliper. This can be observed by
checking for evidence of fluid on the ground or deposited on the
underside of the wheel fairing. Wipe the underside of the fairing
with a clean, white cloth and inspect for red colored fluid
residue.
• Overheated components, indicated by discoloration or warping
of the disk rotor. Excessive heat can cause the caliper
components to discolor or cause yellowing of the part
identification label.
To inspect the brake assemblies:
1.
Remove main landing gear fairings.
2.
Check brake linings for deterioration and maximum permissible
wear. Replace lining when worn to 0.100 inch (2.54 mm).
• Caution •
Serials 1005 through 1592 after Service Bulletin SB 2X-32-14
and airplane serials 1593 and subsequent
: Clean and inspect
temperature indicator installed to piston housing. If indicator
center is black, the brake assembly has been overheated. The
brake linings must be inspected and the O-rings replaced.
3.
Check brake assemblies for evidence of overheating and/or
deterioration.
4.
Install main landing gear fairings.
Tire Inflation
For maximum service from the tires, keep them inflated to the proper
pressure. Nose tire unloaded tire pressure is 40 +2/-0 psi (275 +15/-0
kPa) and the unloaded main gear tire pressure is 53 +2/-0 psi (365
+15/-0 kPa). When checking tire pressure, examine the tires for wear,
cuts, nicks, bruises and excessive wear.
To inflate tires:
1.
Remove inspection buttons on wheel pants to gain access to
valve stems. It may be necessary to move airplane to get valve
stem aligned with the access hole.
