10-10-00 PARKING / STORAGE
When parking the aircraft, set the nose in the wind. Addi-
tionally both main wheels must be chocked fore and aft to
prevent movement of the aircraft.
C A U T I O N When chocking the wheels, ensure that the chocks used
are not too large to come in contact with the wheel
farings. The use of chocks that are too large may dam-
age the farings.
N O T E For maximum protection, hangar the aircraft during
severe weather and strong winds.
The outdoor storage requires adequate mooring and tie-
down facilities. The following precautionary measures are
recommended for keeping the aircraft serviceable and
ready-to-fly.
1. Refer to Chapter 10-20-00 "Mooring" for mooring
instructions.
D A N G E R Do not rotate the propeller with the master switch on
and the battery connected. The engine could start
unintenionally and may course serious injuries or death.
2. Maintain an oil film on internal engine parts, frequently
pull the propeller through. Run the engine for 15 min-
utes at 1500 RPM (or until oil temperature normalizes)
once every two weeks.
3. After the engine run, pressurize the fuel system, push
the mixturecontrol to RICH, and open throttle half way
to fill the fuel injector with fuel.
4. Install protective covers over pitot tube, engine cowling
openings, canopy, etc.
