5.1 INTRODUCTION
It is essential to maintain your tires in good condition. When checking tire pressure,
examine for tire wear, cuts, bruises and slippage. Remove oil, grease and mud from tires
with soap and water.
NOTE:
Recommended tire pressures should be maintained, especially in cold weather.
Any drop in temperature of air inside the tire causes a corresponding drop in tire pressure.
5.2 TIRE PRESSURES
Main wheel tire
4.00x6‖ or (13x5x6), inflation pressure 2.2 – 2.4 bar (32 – 35 psi)
Large main wheel tire
15x6x6, inflation pressure 2.2
– 2.4 bar (32 – 35 psi)
Nose wheel tire
4.00x4‖,(100/75-5) inflation pressure: 1.8 bar (26.1 psi)
5.3 CHANGING THE TIRE AND TUBE REPLACEMENT.
The wheel rims used in this aircraft are of the split rim type and as such generally require
an inner tube. Should the tube or tire require replacement the following procedure will be
of assistance.
Raise the aircraft to suspend the wheel off the ground
Remove the wheel fairing
Remove axle from wheel housing
Unbolt the disk brake from rim ( rear wheel only)
Remove wheel from axle assembly
Split rim by undoing the rim bolts
NOTE:
ensure no pressure is left in tire prior to splitting the rim.
Replace defective tire or tube
Re bolt the rim being careful not to pinch the inner tube
Inflate the tire to correct tire pressure
Check bearing for smoothness in rotation
Submerse the inflated tire in water and check for leaks
Re-assemble the wheel to the axle in reverse order.
