10-11-10 ENSTROM 280FX OPERATOR’S MANUAL
FAA Approved: Mar 26/12 Rev. 6
Report No. 28-AC-020 Feb 21/12
NOTE
If there is insufficient room in the main tanks to
hold the fuel transferred from the auxiliary tank,
the excess fuel will be dumped overboard through
the fuel tank vents.
10-11-15. Trim
Because use of the auxiliary fuel tank will tend to move the
center of gravity toward the aft limit, it may be desirable to
increase the forward cyclic trim authority. This may be
accomplished by readjusting the longitudinal bias spring
under the right hand seat. Refer to Maintenance Manual,
Cyclic Trim Rigging Procedure, MM-22-7.
10-11-16. Internal Ground Handling Wheel Storage
1. After the wheels have been raised and the helicopter is on
its skids, remove the latch pins on the inboard end of the
axle by pulling upward.
2. Remove the washer on the inboard end of the axle and
remove the wheel from the skid by pulling outward.
3. Replace the washer and latch pin on the axle.
4. Remove a handle from the wheel bracket on the
instrument console and slide this handle through the
center of the wheel, from the outside of the wheel inward.
5. Slide the handle into the bracket and turn the handle
until it slides into the detent in the tube. Then, while still
pushing, turn the handle approximately one-quarter turn
clockwise to lock.
6. Check to assure that the handle is locked in place. The
spring on the side of the bracket should also be slightly
compressed.
