MAINTENANCE MANUAL ASTIR CS
Rev. 9 28. Nov. 2005

It is absolutely essential to ensure that if the glider is re-painted all surfaces which
are directly exposed to the sun should be painted WHITE.
When any repairs are done or a fresh coat of paint added the position of the
empty weight C. of G. must be re-checked.
Maintenance on Hotellier quick-locks must be conducted during each annual
inspection or 500 hours which ever occurs first. They are installed at the control-
connections of aileron and airbrakes at the wing-fuselage joint and at the elevator
connection to the pushrod.
The diameter of the swivel has to be measured at different points by a
micrometer with no differences in excess of 0,1 mm (0,004 in.) that means the
swivel must still be spherical. If there are large differences the swivels and
appropriate joints must be replaced.
Swivels and joints should be greased prior to each rigging.
The use of additional safety-pins guided through the holes of the wedge-type slides
increases safety, (Safety-pins No. 500 307.71 from A. Wurth, Industrieservice, D –
90431 Nuernberg, Germany or from GROB- Werke)
