BRAKE
SERVICE
The brake system
is
filled with MIL-H-5606 (petroleum base) hydraulic
brake
fluid. The fluid level should be checked periodically
or
at
every
50-
hour
inspection and replenished when necessary. The brake reservoir
is
located
on
the fire wall in the engine compartment.
If
the entire system must
be
refilled, fill with fluid under pressure from the brake end
of
the system.
This will eliminate air from the system.
No adjustment of the brake clearances
is
necessary. If after extended
service brake blocks become excessively worn, they should
be
replaced with
new
segments.

LANDING
GEAR SERVICE
The main landing gears use 6.00 x 6 wheels and the nose gear carries a
5.00 x 5 wheel.
All
three tires are four-ply rating, type III tires with tubes.
(Refer
to
paragraph 8.23).
Wheels are removed by taking off the hub cap, cotter pin, axle nut, and
the
two bolts holding the brake segment
in
place. Mark tire and wheel for
reinstallation; then dismount by deflating the tire, removing the three
through-bolts from the wheel and separating the
wheel
halves.
Landing gear oleos should be serviced according to the instructions on
the
units. The main oleos should be extended under normal static load until
4.50 ± .25 inches of oleo piston tube
is
exposed, and the nose gear should
show
3.25 ±
.25
inches. Should the strut exposure be below
that
required, it
should
be
determined whether
air
or oil
is
required
by
first raising the air-
plane
on
jacks. Depress the valve core
to
allow air to escape from the strut
housing chamber. Remove the filler plug and slowly raise the strut to full
compression.
If
the strut has sufficient fluid, it will
be
visible up
t.::,
the
bottom
of
the filler plug hole and will then require only proper inf!c::ion.
