LANDING GEAR
Main Gear
♦ Double check that all attach bolts and axle bolts are
installed and secured.
♦ Check tires for proper inflation pressure. The 500 x 5 tires
on the main gear should be inflated to 40 psi. Higher
pressures should be used for 6 ply tires. Wait 24 hours and
check for leaks.
♦ Adjust brakes and test for proper function. Service with fluid
as required. Bleed by filling from the bottom up to the
master cylinder. Recheck rudder travel to verify maximum
limit is not exceeded.
♦ Check for proper main tire toe-in. Should be 1/4 to 1/2
degrees per side.
♦ Wheel bearings should be packed with grease and
safetyed.
♦ Brake calipers should move freely and be safetyed.
Nose Gear
♦ Nose gear tire inflation should be 40 psi.
♦ Wheel bearing should be greased and safetyed.
♦ Axle nut for security and proper installation
♦ Check shimmy damper for friction adjustment. Side force to
rotate pivot should be two to four pounds.
♦ Check safetying and security on all actuating mechanism
hardware.
♦ Light grease on worm and worm gear.
♦ Hold nose up and cycle gear to verify proper function and
locking. Verify an over-center condition on the NG 50.
Cycle gear with a 10 lb load to simulate air drag load.
♦ Verify nose gear warning micro-switch is activated in the
last 0.1" of NG 50 travel.
