Cessna 182 1973 - Fuel Tank Quick-Drain Valve Kit

LANDING.
(1)
Before
landing,
push
"WING LVLR'"
control
knob
full
in
to
the
off
position.
EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
If
a
malfunction
should
occur,
the
system
is
easily
overpowered
with
pressure
on
the
control
wheel. The
system
should then be
turned
off.
In
the
event
of
partial
or
complete vacuum
failure,
the
wing
leveler
will auto-
matically
become
inoperative.
However,
the
Turn
Coordinator used
with
the
wing
leveler
system
will not
be affected
by
loss
of
vacuum
since it is
designed
with
a
""back-up''
system
enabling
it
to
operate
from either
vac-
uum or
electrical
power
in the
event
of
failure
of
one
of
these
sources.
OPERATING
NOTES
(1)
The
wing
leveler
system
may
be
overpowered
at
any
time without
damage
or
wear.
However,
for
extended
periods
of
maneuvering
it
may
be
desirable
to
turn
the
system
off.
(2)
It is
recommended
that the
system
not be
engaged
during
take-off
and
landing.
Although
the
system
can
be
easily
overpowered,
servo
forces
_could
significantly
alter
the
manual
"feel”
of
the
aileron
control,
especially
should
a
malfunction
occur.
FUEL
TANK QUICK-DRAIN
VALVE
KIT
Two
fuel tank
quick-drain
valves
and
a
fuel
sampler
cup
are
available
as
a
kit
to
facilitate
daily draining
and
inspection
of
fuel
in
the
main
tanks
for
the
presence
of
water
and
sediment.
The
valves
replace
existing
fuel
tank
drain
plugs
located
at
the
lower
inboard
area
of
the
wing.
The
fuel
sampler
cup,
which
may
be stowed
in
the
map
compartment,
is
used to
drain
the
valves.
The
sampler
cup
has
a
probe
in the
center
of
the
cup.
When
the
probe
is
inserted
into the hole
in
the
bottom
of
the
drain
valve
and
pushed
upward,
fuel flows
into
the
cup
to
facilitate
visual
inspection
of
the
fuel. As
the
cup
is
removed,
the
drain
valve
seats,
stopping
the
flow
of
fuel.
