2-2. TOWING. Moving the aircraft by hand is ac-
complished by using the wing struts and landing gear
struts as push points. A tow bar attached to the nose
gear should be used for steering and maneuvering the
aircraft on the ground. When no tow bar is available,
press down at the horizontal stabilizer front spar ad-
jacent to the fuselage to raise the nose wheel off the
ground. With the nose wheel clear of the ground, the
aircraft can be turned by pivoting it about the main
wheels.

ICAUTION\
When towing the aircraft, never turn the nose
wheel more than 30 degrees either side of
center or the nose gear will be damaged. Do
not
push on control surfaces or outboard em-
pennage surfaces. When pushing on the tail-
cone, always apply pressure at a bulkhead to
avoid buckling the skin.
NOTE
Use tow bar carefully to
avoid scarring finish on
speed fairing.
