However, if you continue to squeeze the clutch while trying to stop, it will weaken
the brake action. Operate the Lazy Susan load features. Running the unit for a few
minutes will break-in the engine, cables, belt and of course the operator.
Load & Go Instructions
– OK…with transmission in neutral, the engine is running;
we’re ready to load your, “Winged Pride and Joy”.
First time outside of hangar
please
. Chock the back of the main gears. Easing the shift lever forward will put
your tow in the only forward gear. With the Lazy Susan Cradle in the unlocked
down position, line up the roller bar, to the front of your nosewheel.
Firmly
squeeze
the clutch lever for power and load. When the wheel rolls onto the cradle, it will hit
the roller at the back of the cradle, easing the front up into the locked position.
Release clutch, as soon as it loads!!
SHOWING OFF TO YOUR FRIENDS…NOT QUITE YET!
You are now ready to move your plane. Don’t be too over zealous at trying out the
turn radius. The Lazy Susan will turn under your nosewheel. You will have fun
watching your nose gear stay straight while making a turn
.
It’s best to practice out in open first, to get the feel of the machine at different
speeds.
When you are ready to unload your plane, be sure cradle is inline with machine. (It’s
the only position for unloading). Reverse your transmission and ease the loading
gate lever back, allowing you to back out from under the nose gear. Then, push
handle back to original position. (This will allow the cradle to “lock” for the next
time you are ready to load.)
Now here’s a good tip. Get up kind of early on Saturday morning, and get out
to the airport before the rest of the hangar bums get there. Pull your plane out of the
hangar by hand for the last time, and get it out on the apron well away from all hard
objects. Go through the above procedures until you really have it down. By the time
those guys show up, you will have become super proficient and will be able to put
on one helluva show. Should they ask, our phone number is on the decal. Ready for
another tip? Always have chock blocks of some kind anchored at the rear of your
main wheel position in the hangar to prevent inadvertent travel through the rear of
your hangar.
Last tip: If you really want to get smart, re-read this stuff after you have
actually used the machine a few times – it will be more meaningful.
