HOISTING - Fig. 3
Nose Gear Hoisting - Remove the cowl and lift the aircraft with a hoist attached to the
metal loop on top of the engine.
Main Gear Hoisting - Lift the aircraft one side at a time and insert a padded sawhorse or
equivalent under wing at main wing spar and rib rivet line.
LEVELING - Fig. 4
The aircraft may be leveled while the wheels are on the ground or during the weighing
procedure while the wheels are on scales. Leveling the aircraft for purposes of reweighing
or rigging is accomplished as follows:
Position the level on the door sill (upper fuselage longeron)
To put the airplane in a longitudinally level position, either on scales or on the
floor, deflate the nose wheel tire until the proper position is reached (or add
shims under the two main wheels ).
To level the airplane laterally, place a level across the cabin on the right and
left longerons, shim one main wheel as required. (repeat longitudinal leveling).
WEIGHING PROCEDURE - See Owner's Manual or Aircraft Flight Manual Chapter 6
TIEING DOWN
Secure tie-down ropes to the wing tie-down rings and the tail skid at approximately 45
angles to the ground. Leave sufficient slack to avoid damage to the aircraft when the
ropes contract due to moisture.
TOWING
Move the aircraft using the nose wheel optional tow bar hooked into the nose gear strut
rings.
Caution: Remove the tow bar when not in use as the propeller may hit it when engine is
started.
