2. Apply five lbs of weight to backside of each MLG axle. It is recommended to use ITL-12297.
3. Adjust the landing gear UP position by adjusting the limit switch furthest from the rod end until one leg contacts a bumper.
4. Adjust until a single sheet of paper slides with slight drag between MLG strut and stop. Both bumpers may touch if contact is made simultaneously. (Figure 330)
