TASK INSTRUCTIONS:

2. Install load cells onto or scales beneath the aircraft jacks.
Verify that the scales are properly tared for an accurate reading.
The three jack points are: 1) one under left wing, 2) one under right wing, and 3) one under the tail skid.
3. Jack the aircraft clear of the ground, so that the bubble level on the right floor support indicates
a level condition.
NOTE: Remove the floorboard by pulling up. (See “Cockpit Floor Board
Removal” on page 3-46.) It will pop loose.
