MAINTENANCE MANUAL STEMME S12
• Check friction damping of tail wheel: If pushed to its upper stops (under load) the fork
must show a heavy friction against turning.
• Check smooth steering of the fork if hanging free.
• Check axial and radial backlash of fork in its bearings (no diametrical backlash or tilting
due to worn out upper bearing, sucient clearance for rudder control when tail is lifted).
Grease lower axial bearing if required (observe section 6.5).
NOTICE
Never grease upper axial bearing of the tail wheel! The friction under load is required to prevent
tail wheel shimmy.
• Check condition of steering assembly coupled to rudder (springs, rods).
• Check rods and springs for safe connection, especially when spring tension is relieved, by
deecting rudder to its stops.
