8. Aircraft handling, servicing and maintenance
This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground handling and
servicing of the aeroplane. It also identifies certain inspection and maintenance requirement
which must be followed if the aeroplane is to retain that new-plane performance
and
dependability. It is wise to follow a planned schedule of lubrication and preventive
maintenance based on climatic and flying conditions encountered.
Always handle the aircraft with care. Do not push on any control surface (this includes the
stabilizer). To push the tail down, lift the prop hub or push down on the rear fuselage. To
move the aircraft, do not push or pull at the centre of the struts, as bent struts are
inappropriate for safe flying. Pushing or pulling is acceptable on the gear and at the
bottom and top of the struts (close to their attachment points). In all circumstances, follow all
safety precautions pertaining to aircraft, especially around the propeller area.
As the STOL CH 701 is an all metal aircraft built from high strength aviation grade
aluminium alloys which
have good corrosion resistant characteristics, little care to the
airframe is required, especially when stored outside. Polyurethane paint will keep its high
gloss for many years when sponged with water. A cup of dishwater liquid in a pail of water
will help remove unwanted dirt. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after washing.
Maintenance program
The following maintenance program outlines the minimal maintenance which must be
followed to keep the aircraft in good flying condition. The suggested time interval of 25
hour does not in any sense eliminate the need for routine maintenance before and after each
flight. Maintenance is part of the pilot’s responsibility: the pilot should be assured that
the
aircraft is airworthy at all times. The recommended 25 and 100 hour maintenance checks
are designed to cover areas frequently neglected in the quicker preflight inspection and
serve only as a useful indication of the required maintenance. Record all maintenance and
repairs in the Aircraft Log Book.
Aircraft servicing and maintenance should be performed by a qualified individual. For
spare or replacement airframe parts, use genuine Zenair parts to quarantee long life and
durability. Use only genuine engine manufacturer parts on the engine.
Contact your Zenair dealer or manufacturer for all your service, maintenance and parts
requirements.
