CARE
OF
THE
AIRPLANE
If
your airplane is to
retain
that
new
plane performance ·and depend-
ability,
certain inspection and maintenance
requirements
must
be followed.
It
is
wise
to follow a planned schedule of lubrication and preventive
main-
tenance
based
on
climatic and flying conditions
encoun~ered
in your locality.
. .
Keep
in touch with your
Cessna
Dealer and take advantage of his know-
ledge
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 the
tow-bar
attached to the nose wheel.
When
towing with a vehicle,
do
not
exceed
the
nose
gear
turning angle of 30° either
side
of center,
or
dam-
age
to
the
gear will
result.
If
the
airplane
is
tb~ed
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
h
~
ngar
doors
or
structure.
A flat nose
wheel
tire or deflated
strut
will
a1s
9
increase
tail height.
MOORING YOUR· AIRP1ANE.
Proper tie-down procedure
is
your
best
precaution against damage to
your
parked airplane by gusty
or
strong
winds. To tie
down
your
air-
plane
securely, proceed
as
follows:
(1)
Set
the
parking brake and install the control wheel lock.
(2)
Tie sufficiently strong
ropes
or
chains
(700
pounds tensile .
strength)
to
wing, tail and nose tie-clown rings and
secure
each
rope
to
a ramp tie-down.
