8.23 TIRE INFLATION
For
maximum
service
from
the
tires,
keep
them
inflated
to
the
proper
pressures
-
18
psi
for
the
nose
gear
and
24
psi
for
the
main
gear.
All
wheels
and
tires
are
balanced
before
original
installation,
and
the
relationship
of
tire,
tube
and
wheel
should
be
maintained
upon
reinstallation.
Unbalanced
wheels
can
cause
extreme
vibration
in
the
landing
gear;
therefore,
in
the
installation
of
new
components,
it
may
be
necessary
to
rebalance
the
wheels
with
the
tires
mounted.
When
checking
tire
pressure,
examine
the
tires
for
wear,
cuts,
bruises,
and
slippage.
8.25 BATTERY SERVICE
Access
to
the
!2-volt
battery
is
through
an
access
panel
at
the
right
rear
side
of
the
baggage
compartment.
The
battery
box
has
a
plastic
tube
which
is
normally
closed
off
with
a
cap
and
which
should
be
opened
occasionally
to
drain
off
any
accumulation
of
liquid.
The
battery
should
be
checked
for
proper
fluid
level.
DO
NOT
fill
the
battery
above
the
baffle
plates.
DO
NOT
fill
the
battery
with
acid
-
use
water
only.
A
hydrometer
check
will
determine
the
percent
of
charge
in
the
battery.
If
the
battery
is
not
up
to
charge,
recharge
starting
at
a
4
amp
rate
and
finishing
with
a
2
amp
rate.
Quick
charges
are
not
recommended.
