each
tank.
Each time fuel
is
drained, sufficient fuel should be
allowed to flow
to
ensure removal of contaminants. This fuel should
be collected in a suitable container, examined for contaminants,
proper
fuel
and
then discarded.
CAUTIONS
When draining
any
amount
of fuel, care should
be taken to ensure
that
no fire hazard exists
before starting the engine.
After draining, each quick
drain
should
be
checked to make sure
it
has closed completely
and
is
not leaking.
(e) Draining Fuel
System
The bulk
of
the fuel may
be
drained from the system by opening
valve
at
the inboard end
of
each fuel tank. Push up
on
the arms
of
the
drain
valve and turn counterclockwise to hold the
drain
open.
The remaining fuel
in
the system may be drained through the filter
bowl. Any individual
tank
may
be
drained by closing the selector
valve and then draining the desired tank.

TIRE
INFLATION
For
maximum
service from the tires, keep them inflated
to
the proper
pressures-
30 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.

BATTERY
SERVICE
Access
to
the 12-volt battery is obtained by raising upper right cowl
and
removing
the cover
of
the battery box, which
is
mounted
on
the forward
right face
of
the fire wall. The
battery
box has a drain tube which
is
normally
closed
off
with a cap
and
which should be opened occasionally to
drain
off
any
accumulation
of
liquid.
