MAINTENANCE MANUAL
TOWING
CAUTION: WHEN TOWING WITH POWER EQUIPMENT, DO NOT TURN THE NOSE GEAR IN
EITHER DIRECTION BEYOND ITS STEERING RADIUS LIMITS AS THIS WILL RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO THE NOSE GEAR AND STEERING MECHANISM.
The airplane may be moved by using the nose wheel steering bar that is stowed in the forward baggage
area or by using power equipment that will not damage or cause excess strain to the nose gear steering
assembly. The stem on the bar is inserted in the hollow of the nose wheel axle at its right side.
In the event towing lines are necessary, lines (rope) should be attached to both main gear struts as high
up on the tubes as possible. Lines should be long enough to clear the nose and/or tail by not less than
15 feet, and a qualified person should ride in the pilot’s seat to maintain control by use of the brakes.
