exceed
the
nose
gear
turning
angle
of
30°
either
side
of
center,
or
damage
to
the
gear
will
result.
If
the
airplane
is
towed
or
pushed
over
a
rough
surface
during
hangaring,
watch
that
the
normal
cushioning
action
of
the
nose
strut
does
not
cause
excessive
vertical
movement
of
the
tail
and
the
resulting
contact
with
low
hangar
doors
or
structure.
A
flat
nose
tire
or
deflated
strut
will
also
increase
tail
height.
PARKING
When
parking
the
airplane,
head
into
the
wind
and
set
the
parking
brakes.
Do
not
set
the
parking
brakes
during
cold
weather
when
accumu-
lated
moisture
may
freeze
the
brakes,
or
when
the
brakes
are
overheated.
Install
the
control
wheel
lock
and
chock
the
wheels.
In
severe
weather
and
high
wind
conditions,
tie
the
airplane
down
as
outlined
in
the
following
paragraph.
TIE-DOWN
Proper
tie-down
procedure
is
the
best
precaution
against
damage
to
the
parked
airplane
by
gusty
or
strong
winds.
To
tie-down.the
airplane
securely,
proceed
as
follows:
1.
Set
the
parking
brake
and
install
the
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
the
wing
and
tail
tie-down
fittings
and
secure
each
rope
to
a
ramp
tie-down.
4.
Install
a
surface
control
lock
over
the
fin
and
rudder.
5.
Tie
a
rope
(no
chains
or
cables)
to
an
exposed
portion
of
the
engine
mount
and
secure
to
a
ramp
tie-down.
6.
Install
a
pitot
tube

JACKING
When
a
requirement
exists
to
jack
the
entire
airplane
off
the
ground,
or
when
wing
jack
points
are
used
in
the
jacking
operation,
refer
to
the
Service
Manual
for
specific
procedures
and
equipment
r_equired.
Individual
main
gear
may
be
jacked
by
using
the
jack
pad
which
is
incorporated
in
the
main
landing
gear
strut
step
bracket.
When
using
the
individual
gear
strut
jack
pad,
flexibility
of
the
gear
strut
will
cause
the
main
wheel
to
slide
inboard
as
the
wheel
is
raised,
tilting
the
jack.
The
jack
must
then
be
lowered
for
a
second
jacking
operation.
Do
not
jack
both
main
wheels
simultaneously
using
the
individual
main
gear
jack
pads.
If
nose
gear
maintenance
is
required,
the
nose
wheel
may
be
raised
off
the
ground
by
pressing
down
on
a
tailcone
bulkhead,
just
forward
