10-10-00 PARKING/STORAGE
Always park the aircraft with the nose in the wind. Addition-
ally both main wheels must be chocked fore and aft to
prevent movement of the aircraft.
N O T I C E When chocking the wheels, ensure that the chocks used
are not too large to come in contact with the wheel fair-
ings. The use of chocks that are too large may damage
the fairings.
N O T E For maximum protection, hangar the aircraft during
severe weather and strong winds.
Outdoor storage requires adequate mooring and tie-down
facilities. The following precautionary measures are recom-
mended for keeping the aircraft serviceable and ready-to-
fly.
1 Refer to chapter 10-20-00 "Mooring" for mooring i n -
structions.
D A N G E R Do not rotate the propeller with the master switch on
and the battery connected. The engine could start unin-
tentionally and may course serious injuries or death.
2 Maintain an oil film on internal engine parts, frequently
rotate the propeller. Run the engine for 15 minutes at 1500
RPM (or until oil temperature normalizes) once every two
weeks.

mixture control to RICH, and open throttle half way to fill
the fuel injector with fuel.
