Servicing
Landing Gear Servicing
The main landing gear wheel assemblies use 15 x 6.00 x 6 tubeless tires. The
nose wheel assembly uses a 5.00 x 5 tubeless tire.
Always keep tires inflated to the rated pressure to obtain optimum perfor-
mance and maximum service. The landing gear struts do not require
servicing. With the exception of replenishing brake fluid, wheel and brake
servicing must be accomplished in accordance with AMM procedures.
Brake Servicing
To Replenish Brake Fluid
The brake system is filled with MIL-PRF-87257 hydraulic brake fluid. The
fluid level should be checked at every oil change and at the
annual/100-hour inspection, replenishing the system when necessary. The
brake reservoir is located on the right side of the battery support frame.
