2.4 Ground Handling
Care must be taken for several reasons in maneuvering the trike on the ground for
maintenance:
1.
Avoid overstressing the pivot block assembly that connects the trike to the wing
2.
Avoid causing the trike to flip onto the propeller by lifting the nose too high
3.
Avoid wear of the base tube due to rubbing against the nose tube
4.
Avoid wing tip damage due to scraping the ground or hitting objects
2.4.1 Moving
To safely move the trike with the wing attached, use the following procedure:
1.
Anchor base tube securely to carriage either with a bungee or strap holding the base
tube against the nose tube, or by using the seat belts to hold the base tube against the
seat. Be sure the wing is tilted at least 20
°
into the wind if trike is to be moved outside.
2.
Release the parking brake
3.
Confirm that the ignition magneto switches are off.
4.
Push on the propeller near the hub, steering left and right by pushing on one side of the
propeller harder than the other side. It is quite easy to steer the trike in the desired
direction using this method.
