7-13. MOVING AND TOWING HELICOPTER
Ground handling wheels are available for the helicopter.
Ground Handling Wheels (Stowed above landing gear skid tubes)
These wheel assemblies attach to brackets on the skid tubes. For air trans-
port, insert each wheel assembly axle through the bracket.
Install a
quick-release pin through each bracket and axle to hold the wheels in the up
position. For ground handling, remove the pin to allow the wheel to rotate
down. Remove the handle from its stowage location inside the engine com-
partment. Insert the handle into each wheel assembly and push (or pull) to
bring the wheel over center. Align the hole in the bracket with the hole in
the axle and install the pin to keep the wheels in the ground handling posi-
tion. Remove the handle. Do not operate the helicopter with the wheels in-
stalled in the ground handling position.
CAUTION
When balancing/moving the helicopter by hand, do not push on
stabilizers or any other component or surface that may sustain
damage from ground handling or pushing.
Move helicopter on ground by manually balancing on ground
handling wheels and pushing on tail rotor transmission housing and
on any structural member(s) of the helicopter. (i.e. cabin door may
be opened and assistant may push on adjacent door frame.)
CAUTION
Except under extreme emergency conditions, do not tow
helicopter at speeds over five MPH. Do not allow front end of
skid tubes to drag on ground. Avoid sudden stops and starts,
and short turns which could cause helicopter to turn over.
Allow inside wheel to turn (not pivot) while helicopter is being
turned. Safe minimum turning radius is approximately 20 feet.
