Lubrication should be performed at least every six months and more frequently in applications where
the landing gear are exposed to excessive moisture, waterspray, dust, or if they are not used for

Employ a lubricant compatible with the original type of grease used:

1. Fully retract the landing gear, then using high
gear extend 2-3 turns.
2. Lubricate through the grease fittings as shown.

grease to the entire length of the screw.
