MANUAL
ANCHORING
AND
MOORING
PROVISIONS
Three
mooring
eyes
are
provided,
one
in
each
wing
and
one
in
the
tail
bumper.
To
moor
the
airplane,
chock the
wheels fore and
aft,
install
the control locks
and
tie-down with
a
nylon
cord
or
chain
of sufficient
length
at
each
point.
Avoid
overtightening
the
rear
line,
which will
pull
up
the
nose
so
that
wind
will
create
higher
lift
on
the
wings,
if
bad
weather
is
anticipated,
it is advisable
to
nose
the
airplane
into
the wind.
LEVELING
To
level the
airplane
longitudinally,
attach
a
cord and
plumb
bob
to
the
Phillips-head
screw
just
aft
of
the
rear
window
on
the
LH side
of
the
airplane.
Inflate
or
deflate
the
nose
gear
shock
strut
as
necessary
to
pass
the
cord
through
the
center
of
a
second
Phillips-head
screw
directly
below.
Suspending
the
plumb
bob
in
a can
of
light
engine
oil
w~ll
assist
in
stabilizing
it.
Lateral
leveling
is done
by
putting
a
bubble level
on
the
rear
baggage
compartment
floorboard
and
deliatlng
the
tire
or
strut
on
the
high
side of the
airplane
to center
the bubble.

EXTERNAL
POWER
(OPTIONAL
EQUIPMENT)
Before
connecting
an
auxiliary
power
unit,
tum off
the
generator/alternator
switches
and
any
other
electrically
operated equipment
except
the
battery
switch. The
airplane
has
a
negatively
grounded auxiliary
power
receptacle.
If
the
auxiliary
power
unit
does
not
have
a
standard AN
plug,
check
the
polarity
of the
unit and
connect
the
positive
lead
to
the
battery
positive
post
and the
negative
lead
to
the
battery
negative
post
and
resume
normal
starting
procedure.
NOTE:
When
using
external electrical
power,
the
battery
switch
should
be
left
on
so
that the
battery
will
absorb
any
transient
electrical
spikes.
After the
airplane
has been
started and the
auxiliary
power
disconnected,
the electrical
switches
may
be
tumed
on
and
normal
procedures
resumed.
Recharging
the
battery
without
removing
it
from
the
airplane
may
be
accomplished
by
connecting
a
known
negatively ground
auxiliary
power
unit
to
the
airplane
extemal
power
receptacle
and
turning
the
battery
master
switch
ON.
In
case
of
an
extremely
weak
battery,
removing
and
recharging
may
be
necessary
since
the
battery
may
not
have
sufficient
capacity
to
close the
battery
solenoid. It is
essential
that
you
make
certain
that the
power
unit is
negatively grounded.
NOTE: On
airplanes
TO-1011 and
After;
TE-197 and
After;
and
TH-1
and
After,
a
protection
feature is
incorporated
into the external
power
circuit
to
protect
against
a
ground
power
unit with
reversed
polarity.
CAUTION:
The
battery
may
be
damaged
if
exposed
to
voltages
higher
than
30 volts.
