HANDLING,

&
MAINTENANCE
TIE-DOWN
Proper
tie-down
procedure
is
the best
precaution
against
damage
to
the
parked
airplane
by
gusty
or
strong
winds.
To
tie-down
the
airplane
securely,
proceed
as
follows:
1.
Set
the
parking
brake and install the
control
wheel lock.
2.
Install
a
surface
control lock
over
the
fin
and
rudder.
3.
Tie
sufficiently
strong
ropes
or
chains
(700
pounds
tensile
strength)
to
the
wing,
tail and
nose
tie-down
fittings
and
secure
each
rope
or
chain
to
a
ramp
tie-down.
4.
Install
a
pitot
tube
cover.
When
a
requirement
exists
to
jack
the
entire
airplane
off
the
ground,
or
when
wing jack
points
are
used
in
the
jacking
operation,
refer
to
the
Maintenance
Manual
for
specific
procedures
and
equipment required.
Individual
main
gear may
be
jacked by using
the
jack
pad
which
is
incorporated
in
the main
landing
gear
strut
step
bracket. When
using
the
individual
gear
strut
jack
pad,
flexibility
of
the
gear
strut
rwill
cause
the main
wheel
to
slide inboard
as
the
wheel
is
raised,
tilting
the
jack.
The
jack
must
then
be
lowered
for
a
second
jacking
operation.
Do
not
jack
both
main
wheels
simultaneously
using
the
individual
main
gear
jack
pads.
DO NOT
APPLY
PRESSURE
ON
THE
ELEVATOR
OR HORIZONTAL
STABILIZER
SURFACES.
WHEN
PUSHING
ON
THE
TAILCONE,
ALWAYS
APPLY
PRESSURE
AT A
BULKHEAD
TO
AVOID
BUCKLING
THE
SKIN.
If
nose
gear
maintenance is
required,
the
nose
wheel
may
be
raised
off
the
ground by pressing
down
on a
tailcone
bulkhead,
just
forward
of
the
horizontal
stabilizer,
and
allowing
the
tail
to rest
on
the tail
tie-down
ring.
