An emergency landing gear hand pump is located between the front seats. This
hand pump has its own supply of hydraulic fluid in the secondary reservoir
located within the primary hydraulic reservoir. The same extension hydraulic
lines are used by both the normal and emergency systems. The main gear is
made of tubular steel with 15 x 600 x 6 wheel and tires and hydraulically
operated Cleveland disc brakes. The nose gear is a free swivel conventional
air/oleo strut with internal viscous shimmy dampening. Any shimmy of the nose
gear is cause for an immediate inspection of the nose strut. The nose gear has a
500 x 5 wheel and tire. On older LIV’s a tire guide strap centers the nose gear to
insure full retraction. Differential braking is used for directional control on the
ground until the rudder becomes effective. A two-position landing gear handle is
located below the throttle quadrant. The landing gear position indicating system
consists of three green lights that illuminate when all three gear are down and
locked. Correct tire pressures are 60 psi for the mains and 50 psi for the nose
tire if Goodyear or Condor tires are mounted, or 40 and 30 psi respectively if
McCreary tires are mounted.
ELECTRICAL
In general, the airplane’s circuitry is dual – wire with ground return.
The battery, alternator, and the magneto/start witches are located on the left
subpanel. The circuit breakers are generally located on the far right of the panel.
The standard battery installation is one 12 or 24 -volt battery located just forward
of the firewall on the right side. Some aircraft have dual alternators and dual
battery installations.
