Maintenance and Service Schedule
8.3 Cleaning
No special cleaning of the landing gear is required; however,
the landing gear should be cleaned with the rest of the vehicle.
NOTE:
DO NOT directly aim water at the landing gear
shafts and bushings or up into the retract assembly.
Water infiltration into the gearbox and housing may
cause corrosion.
Failure to prevent water infiltration into
the shafts, bushings and retract assembly,
could result in damage to the landing gear.
8.4 Hardware Inspection
Perform the following procedures to ensure the landing gear
is in proper working order:
1. Tighten or replace the mounting bolts as necessary.
2. Inspect the mounting bracket for cracks or other signs
of damage.
3. Repair or replace any broken or damaged part of the
landing gear assembly or mounting structure.
Failure to repair or replace damaged landing
gear components can result in unsafe
product conditions which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
4. Inspect the crank handle bolt and the lock nut. Tighten or
replace as necessary.
5. Inspect the crank handle. If the handle connecting tabs,
tube or grip are bent or damaged, replace the handle.
6. Cross shaft connection bolts and lock nuts should be
secure, but allow side-to-side play in the cross shaft.
7. Inspect the footware for damage and replace if the
components are bent or cracked. If removable footware is
present, ensure all mounting bolts and fasteners are tightened
and footware is secure.
8. Check for proper shift shaft engagement in both high and low
gear and proper shifting between gears. Rebuild if necessary.
NOTE:
The crank shaft should translate approximately
5/8" between high and low gear.
9. Rebuild or replace the landing gear with excessive play in
the shafts and bushings.
