8.4.7 INDUCTION AIR FILTER
Dust and dirt must be prevented from entering the engine induction system. Dust and dirt
ingested into the engine is probably the greatest single cause of premature engine wear.
The
value of maintaining the air filter in good clean condition cannot be overstressed.
Visual Inspection
A visual inspection of the paper cartridge should be made at intervals of approximately 50 flying
hours. Under extreme conditions, daily cleaning with compressed air may be necessary. During
inspections, the cartridge must be checked to see if it has been dislodged or damaged or is
suffering an excessive build up of debris.
Cleaning
To some extent, the cartridge can be blown out using clean compressed air, however periodic
replacement, depending on condition, is required.
8.4.8 BATTERY SERVICE
The J160 must be fitted with a "no maintenance" 12 volt, PC625 Odyssey Sealed Lead Acid
Battery (Jabiru P/No. PM0095N).
The battery is located inside the engine bay. Access is gained by removing the top cowl.
WARNING
Do not perform any maintenance on the electrical system in conjunction with work on the fuel
system. The escape of fuel fumes under the floor and/or in the aircraft may cause an explosion.
As the name implies, the "no maintenance" battery requires no routine maintenance other than to
check its security occasionally and to clean the terminals if required.
8.5 ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS
All alterations and repairs to this J160-C aircraft must be done using data which is approved by
the NAA.
8.6 GROUND HANDLING
The aircraft can be easily manoeuvred on level ground by one person. The inner 6” of the
propeller blades and the inner foot of the horizontal tail are the places best suited to hold during
ground handling.
Never hold the propeller while the master switch is on or there is a person
in the cockpit
. Additional persons can assist by pushing or pulling on the main wing struts. In
congested areas, wing and/or tail walkers should be positioned to ensure adequate clearance
from stationary objects.
8.6.1 PARKING
When possible park the aircraft into the anticipated wind and set the parking brake. Do not set the
parking brake when they are very hot. Lock the controls using the lower portion of the pilot's
restraint harness around the control column to secure it. Install wheel chocks when available.
