BRAKES
Brake system servicing
is
limited primarily to maintaining the
hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir
is located on the left forward side
of
the forward cabin
bulkhead, and is accessible through the small access door
on the large access
door
on the left side
of
the nose
compartment.
Fill the
reservoir
with
the MIL-H-5606
I hydraulic fluid to the FULL mark on the dipstick. Maintain
the fluid level between the
FULL and ADD marks. Do not
overfill.
The brake disc should be replaced when its thickness mea-
sures 0.450 inch.
INDUCTION AIR FILTERS
The induction air filters should be removed, cleaned, and
inspected each 50 hours of service. Replacement is recom-
mended
at
300 hours for normal operation, and more fre-
quently should conditions
warrant.
The
filter
should
be
cleaned in accordance with the instructions printed on the
filter.
1. Remove the upper engine cowling to gain access to the
induction air filter, located at the rear
