TOWING
—CAUTION—
Do not turn nose gear in either direction beyond its steering
radius limits This will result in damage to nose gear and steering
mechanism.
—CAUTION—
Do not tow airplane with control locks installed
—CAUTION—
When moving airplane forward by hand, avoid pushing on
trailing edge of control surfaces. This will cause control surface
contour to change resulting in an out-of-trim condition.
Move airplane using a nose wheel steering bar or power equipment that will not damage or cause excess
strain.
TAXIING
Before taxiing airplane, ground personnel must be checked out by a qualified pilot or other responsible
person. Engine starting and shutdown procedures must also be covered. Ensure that propeller back blast and
taxi areas are clear. Apply power to start taxi roll and perform the following checks:
l. Taxi forward a few feet and apply brakes to determine their effectiveness.
2. Taxi with propeller set in low pitch, high rpm setting.
3. While taxiing, make slight turns to check effectiveness of steering.
4. Observe wing clearances when taxiing near buildings or other stationary objects. If possible, station a
guide outside airplane to observe.
5. Avoid holes and ruts when taxiing on uneven ground.
6. Do not operate engine at high rpm when running up or taxiing over loose ground, stones, gravel, or
any material that may damage propeller blades.
