nose gear strut inflation, tire pressures, tire sizes
and load distribution may result in some dimensions
that are considerably different from those listed.

ures 1-2 to assist in locating equipment when a
written description
is
inadequate or impractical.

nut torque values
is
shown in figure 1-3. These tor-
que values are recommended for all installation pro-
cedures contained in this manual, except where other
values are stipulated. They are not to be used for
checking tightness of installed parts during service.
