Why doesn't the card move when I turn the compensating screws in my Cirrus Aircraft?
If the card does not move when the compensating screws are turned in your Cirrus Aircraft, it is likely that the gears that turn the compensating magnets are stripped. Replace the instrument.
What to do if Cirrus Tools brakes are inoperative?
If the Cirrus Tools brakes are inoperative, it could be due to several reasons: * The brake fluid level might be low, in which case you should replenish it. * There might be air in the brake system, requiring you to bleed the brake system. * The master cylinder or caliper could be defective, necessitating replacement. * Worn brake linings can also cause this issue. * Check for leaky brake line connections and tighten or replace connectors as needed.
Why are my Cirrus Tools brakes dragging?
If you're experiencing brake drag with your Cirrus Tools, several factors could be the cause. The piston might be cocked in the cylinder, leading to overheating and excessive lining wear, in which case you should remove and repair the cylinder or piston, or even replace the entire brake assembly. Foreign matter could be wedged in the brakes, so locate and remove any debris. Back pressure from a malfunctioning master cylinder or parking brake valve can also cause drag, requiring you to bleed the brake system and repair or replace the affected component. Other potential issues include using the wrong brake fluid, which can block pistons, or water/ice in the hydraulic system. Also, check if excessive bolt torque has crushed the cylinder or if the piston doesn't retract.
