Draining Fuel System
The bulk of the fuel may be drained from the system by opening valve at the inboard end of each
fuel tank. Push up on the arms of the drain valve and turn counterclockwise to hold the drain open.
The remaining fuel in the system may be drained through the filter bowl. Any individual tank may
be drained by closing the selector valve and then draining the desired tank.
8.23 TIRE INFLATION
For maximum service from the tires, keep them inflated to the proper pressures - 30 psi for the nose
gear and 24 psi for the main gear. All wheels and tires are balanced before original installation, and the
relationship of tire, tube and wheel should be maintained upon reinstallation. Unbalanced wheels can cause
extreme vibration in the landing gear; therefore, in the installation of new components, it may be necessary
to rebalance the wheels with the tires mounted. When checking tire pressure, examine the tires for wear,
cuts, bruises, and slippage.
8.25 BATTERY SERVICE
Access to the 12-volt battery is obtained by raising the rear seat and removing the cover of the battery
box. The plastic battery box has a drain tube which is normally closed off with a cap and which should be
opened occasionally to drain off any accumulation of liquid.
The battery should be checked for proper fluid level. DO NOT fill the battery above the baffle plates.
DO NOT fill the battery with acid - use only water. A hydrometer check will determine the percent of
charge in the battery.
If the battery is not up to charge, recharge starting at a 4 amp rate and finishing with a 2 amp rate.
Quick charges are not recommended.
8.27 CLEANING
(a)
Cleaning Engine Compartment
Before cleaning the engine compartment, place a strip of tape on the magneto vents to
prevent any solvent from entering these units.
(1)
Place a large pan under the engine to catch waste.
(2)
With the engine cowling removed, spray or brush the engine with solvent or a mixture
of solvent and degreaser. In order to remove especially heavy dirt and grease deposits,
it may be necessary to brush areas that were sprayed.
CAUTION
Do not spray solvent into the alternator, vacuum pump, starter, or
air intakes.
(3)
Allow the solvent to remain on the engine from five to ten minutes. Then rinse the
engine clean with additional solvent and allow it to dry.
