D. Tires and Wheels
Replace all worn tires with the correct ply, type, and size ratings. Tire servicing is covered in chapter

WARNING:
Recapped tires are not approved for use on the airplane. Recapped tires have a
tendency to swell as a result of the increased temperature generated during take-
off.
Note: If the airplane tires should ever freeze to the ground surface, use hot air or water to free
the tires before attempting to move the airplane.
E. Battery
Visual inspection of battery 1 in the aircraft should be done every month or 25 flight hours until experi-
ence indicates a longer inspection interval. Check the battery, container, cover and connections for dis-
tortion or damage. Proper battery charging procedures and the replenishing of electrolyte, along with
other pertinent information for battery 1 can be found in Chapter 24. (Refer to 24-30)
F. Lubrication
Lubrication and cleanliness should always be considered to be of utmost importance. To prevent rapid
and unnecessary deterioration of metal components which are exposed to the elements of nature, the
following should always be clean and lubricated.
CAUTION: Never mix lubricants of any kind. Only use lubricants recommended by the manufac-
turer. Keep threads free of grease to avoid degrading lock nut performance and torque
readings. Only use lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.
