Servicing
Hydraulic
Landing
Gear
System.
Servicing the hydraulic landing gear extension/ retraction
system consists of maintaining the correct fluid level and
maintaining the correct accumulator precharge. The
accumulator is located in the reservoir access area and
is charged to 800 ±50 PSI using bottled nitrogen. A
charging gage is mounted on the accumulator. A
reservoir, located just inboard of the left nacelle and
forward of the main spar, has a lid with a dipstick
attached marked FLUID TEMP 0°F, 50°F, 100°F. Add
MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid (consumable materials list) as
required to fill the system, corrected for temperature.

INFLATING TIRES.
Inflate tires as follows:
a.
Inflate nose wheel tires to a pressure between
55 and 60 PSI.
b.
Inflate main wheel tires to a pressure between
73 and 77 PSI.

SERVICING THE CHEMICAL TOILET.
The toilet should be serviced during routine ground
maintenance of the aircraft following every usage. The
waste storage container should be removed, emptied, its
disposable plastic liner replaced, and the container
replaced in the toilet cabinet. Toilet paper, waste
container plastic liners, and dry chemical deodorant
packets should also be resupplied within the toilet
cabinet as needed.

SERVICING
THE
AIR
CONDITIONING
SYSTEM.
Servicing the air conditioning system consists of
checking and maintaining the correct refrigerant level,
compressor oil level, belt tension and condition, system
leak detection, and replacement of the evaporator air
filters. It is imperative that maintenance of the air
conditioning system, except for filter replacement, be
accomplished only by qualified refrigerant system
technicians.

ANTI-ICING, DEICING, AND DEFROSTING
TREATMENT.
NOTE
Do not apply anti-icing, deicing, and
defrosting fluid to exposed aircraft
surfaces if snow is expected. Melting
snow will dilute the defrosting fluid
and form a slush mixture which will
freeze in place and become difficult
to remove.
The aircraft is protected in subfreezing weather by
spraying the surfaces (to be covered with protective
covers) with defrosting fluid. Spraying defrosting fluid on
aircraft surfaces before installing protective covers will
permit protective covers to be removed with a minimum
of sticking. To prevent freezing rain and snow from
blowing under protective covers and diluting the fluid,
ensure that protective covers are fitted tightly. As a
deicing measure, keep exposed aircraft surface wet with
fluid for protection against frost.
Use undiluted anti-icing, deicing, and defrosting fluid
(MIL-A-8243) to treat aircraft surfaces for protection
against freezing rain and frost. Spray aircraft surface
sufficiently to wet area, but without excessive drainage.
A fine spray is recommended to prevent waste. Use
diluted, hot fluid to remove ice accumulations.
a.
Remove frost or ice accumulations from aircraft
surfaces by spraying with diluted anti-icing, deicing, and
defrosting fluid mixed in accordance with Table 2-12.
b.
Spray diluted, hot fluid in a solid stream (not
over 15 gallons per minute). Thoroughly saturate aircraft
surface and remove loose ice. Keep a sufficient quantity
of diluted, hot fluid on aircraft surface coated with ice, to
prevent liquid layer from freezing. Diluted, hot fluid
should be sprayed at a high pressure, but not exceeding
300 PSI.
c.
When facilities for heating are not available and
it is deemed necessary to remove ice accumulations
from aircraft surfaces, undiluted defrosting fluid may be
used. Spray undiluted defrosting fluid at 15 minute
intervals to assure complete coverage. Removal of ice
accumulations
using
undiluted
defrosting
fluid
is
expensive and slow.
d.
If tires are frozen to ground, use undiluted
defrosting fluid to melt ice around tire. Move aircraft as
soon as tires are free.
NOTE
Do not apply anti-icing, deicing, and
defrosting fluid to exposed aircraft
surfaces if snow is expected. Melting
snow will dilute the defrosting fluid
and form a slush mixture which will
freeze in place and become difficult
to remove.
