NOTE
Setting
toe-in
and
camber
within
these
tolerances
while
the
cabin
and fuel
tanks
are empty
will
give
approximately
zero
toe-in and
zero
camber
at gross
weight.
Ideal
setting is
zero toe-in
and
zero
camber
at normal
operating
weight.
Therefore,
if normally
operated
at less
than
gross
weight
and
abnormal
tire
wear occurs,
realign
the
wheels
to attain
the ideal
setting
for
the load
conditions
under
which
the
aircraft
normally
operates.
Refer
to
the following
page
for
shims
available
and
their
usage.
Always
use
the
least
number
of shims
possible
to obtain
the
desired
result.
