Figure 34 Front Shock Set up 

 
32.20.00   Nose Gear 

The front steering is foot activated, and includes a steering damper system. The foot steering system 
includes a linkage to the rear passenger footrest to allow them to steer if they are piloting. 
The  default  setting  for  the  steering  damper  is  light,  which  is  achieved  by  rotating  the  shaft  of  the 
damper completely in the anticlockwise direction. The setting may be adjusted for personal preference.

WARNING 

NEVER  ADJUST  THE  DAMPER  WHILE  IN  FLIGHT  AS  IT  POSSIBLE  TO  MAKE  STEERING 
DIFFICULT WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF DAMPING (“HEAVY” DAMPING)
