FIGURE 1
For moderate temperature operations (20° F to 150° F) use a lithium or an anhydrous calcium
extreme pressure grease.
Lubricate as follows: (see FIGURE 1)
1. Fully retract the landing gear, then using high gear, lower the leg 2-3 turns and lubricate
the lift-screw assembly through grease fitting “A” (see landing gear legs shown below).
Apply ½ lb. of grease.
Distribute the lubrication by extending and retracting the leg several times.
2. Lubricate the gearbox, using grease fitting “B”. Apply ¼ lb. of grease
3. Lubricate the bevel gear using grease fitting “C”.
Apply ¼ lb. of grease.
LANDING LEGS
LANDING GEAR LUBRICATION IS IMPORTANT!
Your landing gear was adequately greased and packed with high quality lubricants when manufac-
tured and will not require additional lubrication for the first five (5) year period of service and
operation. Following the initial five year period, it will be necessary to periodically supplement this
lubrication to maintain satisfactory performance for your particular application. Re-lubrication
should be part of your preventative maintenance program and should be done every month or
more often, if required.
For low temperature operations (under 20° F) use a lithium or an anhydrous calcium extreme
pressure grease that operates down to -65°F.
For cold weather operations, it is also recommended to fill the gearbox approximately 3/4 full with
grease. This helps minimize moisture accumulation, which can freeze, causing hard gear cranking.
