8 Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing<br />
8.1 Servicing Fuel, Oil and Coolant<br />
The REMOS GX is designed to be easily serviceable. Access to all<br />
components whi<strong>ch</strong> have to be lubricated or <strong>ch</strong>ecked regularly is<br />
possible without deta<strong>ch</strong>ing any panels. A flap in the upper cowling<br />
allows <strong>ch</strong>ecking coolant and oil without removing the cowling.<br />
The fuel filler cap is located on the right-hand side of the fuselage<br />
behind the wing. After removing the lockable fuel filler cap, refuelling<br />
is easily possible. The basic equipment provides two gauges to<br />
<strong>ch</strong>eck fuel level from inside the cockpit.<br />
The first one is a fuel level sight tube located between the seats and<br />
an additional electric fuel gauge is installed on the right-hand side of<br />
the instrument panel. Refer to Section 2 "Airplane and Systems<br />
Descriptions" for further instructions regarding specifications and<br />
capacities.<br />
8.2 Towing and Tie-Down Instructions<br />
Due to the low weight of the REMOS GX it is very easy to move the<br />
aircraft on the ground by hand. That’s why there is no special<br />
equipment for towing provided. In no case the aircraft shall be towed<br />
by atta<strong>ch</strong>ing any kind of towing equipment to the nose wheel!<br />
To tie the aircraft we recommend the use of three ropes (left wing,<br />
right wing, and tail). Tie down ea<strong>ch</strong> wing by atta<strong>ch</strong>ing the rope to the<br />
provided lug at the upper strut bracket. Another rope connection<br />
point is provided at the tail skid of the aircraft. When necessary, a<br />
fourth rope can be slid around the propeller/gear drive shaft at the<br />
nose of the aircraft.<br />
Aircrafts equipped with strut end fairings are equipped with a thread<br />
on the lower side of the wing near the wingtips and are provided with<br />
bolt-in lugs. If required, bolt in the lugs and tie down the aircraft<br />
there. Do not fly with the tie-down lugs installed!<br />
