CARE OF THE AIRPLANE
If your airplane
is to
retain that new-plane performance, stamina,
and
dependability, certain inspection and maintenance requirements must be
followed.
It is
always wise
to
follow
a
planned schedule
of
lubrication and
maintenance based on the climatic and flying conditions encountered
in
your locality.
Keep in touch with your Cessna dealer, and take advantage
of
his
knowledge and experience. He knows your airplane and how
to
maintain
it. He will remind you when lubrications and
oil
changes are necessary
and about other seasonal and periodic services.
GROUND HANDLING.
The airplane
is
most easily and safely maneuvered by hand with
a
tow-bar attached
to
the nose wheel.
NOTE
When using the tow-bar, never exceed the turning
angle
of
30°, either side
of
center,
or
damage
to
the gear will result.
MOORING YOUR AIRPLANE.
Proper tie-down
is
the best precaution against damage to your parked
airplane by gusty
or
strong winds.
To tie
down your airplane securely,
proceed as follows:
(1) Set parking brake and install control wheel lock.
(2) Install
a
surface control lock between each aileron and flap.
(3)
Tie
sufficiently strong ropes
or
chains (700 pounds tensile
strength)
to
wing and tail tie-down fittings, and secure each rope
