FUEL
DRAIN CAN
,
~
When the engine is shut down, residual fuel in the englne drains into a
fuel drain can mounted on the front left side of the firewall. This can
should be drained once a day or at an interval not to exceed six engine
shutdowns. A drain valve on the bottom side of the cowling enables the
pilot to drain the contents of the fuel drain can into a suitable container.
FUEL PUMP
DRAIN RESERVOIR
To control expended lubricating oil from the engine fuel pump drive
coupling area and provide a way to determine if fuel is leaking past the
fuel pump seal, early serial airplanes modified with Service Kit
SK208-
57
and later serial airplanes are equipped with a drainable reservoir to
collect this allowable discharge of oil and any fuel seepage. The
reservoir is mounted on the front left side of the firewall. It should be
drained once a day or at an interval not to exceed six engine
shutdowns. A drain valve on the bottom side of the cowling enables the
pilot to drain the contents of the reservoir into a suitable container. A
quantity of up to
3
cc of oil and 20 cc of fuel discharge per hour of
engine operation is allowable. If the quantity of oil or fuel drained from
the reservoir is greater than specified, the source of leakage should be
identified and corrected prior to further flight.
BRAKE
SYSTEM
The airplane has a single-disc, hydraulically-actuated brake on each
main landing gear wheel. Each brake is connected, by a hydraulic line,
to a master cylinder attached to each of the pilot's rudder pedals. The
brakes are operated by applying pressure to the top of either the left
(oilot's) or riaht (front oassenaer's) set of rudder oedals, which are
;hterconnect&d when tile a~rpbne 's parked, both maln wheel brakes
mav be set bv
ut,llzlna the oar6 na brake wh.ch .s o~erated bv a handle
on
ihe lowei left side of ihe inhment panel. To apply the parking
brake, set the brakes with the rudder pedals and pull the handle aft. To
release the parking brake, push the handle fully in.
