3.11.1
ENTIRENESS
OF
TIRE
The
tire
must
satisfy
several
basic
requirements
to
avoid
inopportune
punctures
or
lowering
of
the
pressure:
•
The
wear
of
the
tread
(1)
must
not
be
excessive.
•
The
tire
must
not
show
abnormal
abrasions
(2).
•
The
tire
(3)
must
not
show
radial
cracks,
which
are
symptoms
of
ageing.
It
is
possible
to
visually
check
all
these
requirements.
The
correct
inflation
pressure
(4)
helps
in
reducing
the
wear
of
the
tire.
Therefore
we
strongly
recommend
checking
it
carefully
and
regularly,
at
least
at
the
beginning
of
each
new
season.
The
correct
inflating
pressure
for
the
nose
tire
is
1,6
‐
1,8
bar.
Please
remember
that
taxiing
on
hard
surfaces
or
asphalt
increases
the
wear
of
tires.
Under
such
conditions,
we
recommend
to
check
the
tire
and
its
pressure
more
often.
3.11.2
FIXING
OF
NOSE
WHEEL
AND
FORK
(See
Fig.
3.11/3)
The
nose
wheel
(5)
and
fork
(6)
are
assembled
through
the
connection
of
the
bolt
pn
M12x160
and
the
fork
pn
093
(for
gyroplanes
with
serial
number
till
16053404)
(or
pn
426)
and
the
spacer
pn
094
(or
pn
427)
and
the
wheel
(5).
Tightening
and
blocking
the
wheel
is
done
with
a
fibrelock
nut
M12.
The
tightening
action
of
the
bolt
M12x160
must
be
adequate,
so
as
to
avoid
compression
of
the
bearings
6201
‐
LU
of
the
wheel
hub
and
allow
complete
freedom
of
wheel
rotation.
At
the
same
time,
the
wheel
must
not
have
any
lateral
play
on
the
fork,
which
could
cause
vibrations
to
the
entire
system.
3.11.3
ENTIRENESS
OF
FORK
The
fatigue
of
the
front
fork
pn
093
(or
pn
426)
can
generate
its
deformation.
Deformation
is
a
symptom
of
hard
landing
or
of
take
‐
off
and
landing
on
very
rough
surfaces.
Periodically
check
the
fork
so
as
to
prevent
excessive
deformation
or
failure
of
the
fork
stem.
3.11.4
CHECK
PROCEDURE
(See
Fig.
3.11/3
‐
3.11/2)
The
fork
check
parameter
consists
in
having
a
90°
angle
between
the
main
structure's
spar
(7),
which
supports
the
bearings
4T
32005X
that
allow
the
fork's
movement,
and
the
plane
created
by
the
fork.
