CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION AND
GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual is provided for the owners of
Wipaire model 8750 Floats as installed on the
Cessna 208 Caravan and 208B Grand Caravan.
It has two main priorities:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
To inform owners of the level and amount of
servicing required to properly maintain their
floatplane, and to provide technical data and
servicing as specified to maintenance
professionals charged with servicing the floats.
The service products referred to throughout this
manual are described by their trade names and
may be purchased from the Wipaire Parts
Department:
We, at Wipaire, welcome your purchase and
look forward to years of satisfying exchanges
with you. Your floats are built with pride and
attention to detail, but we want that care to
extend beyond your purchase. Our customer
service department, WipCaire, is available for
your questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
where ever you are in the world.
Wipaire Customer Service Branch:
Fax 651-306-0666 Phone 651-306-0459
CustomerService@wipaire.com

In this service manual we have worked hard to
include many repair scenarios in addition to the
recommended products, practices, and routine
maintenance required to keep your floats in
working order.

When a float part is significantly changed or
an additional inspection is recommended or
required, often a service letter and/or kit is
issued . If a warranty is issued, most
commonly it is for an 18 month time period,
so it is crucial to check for service letters
specific to your float model at each periodic
inspection to be eligible.

Service Manuals and the installation prints
included are also revised periodically and
also to be kept updated. Service letters,
Service Kits and Service Manuals are
available on our web site at no charge,
www.wipaire.com.

NOTE:
IT IS CRITICAL TO CHECK FOR
MANUAL UPDATES EACH TIME AN
INSPECTION IS EXECUTED.

1.1 GENERAL FLOAT INFORMATION

The model 8750 amphibious float is an all
aluminum structure. The alloy used throughout
is mostly corrosion resistant 6061-T6, with
2024-T3 and 7075-T651 used in strength critical
fittings and panels. Interior parts are cleaned,
acid-etched and then primed prior to being
riveted for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Exterior surfaces are cleaned, alodine is applied
as a corrosion resistant barrier, and then primed
and custom painted.

Model 8750 floats contain sixteen (16) water
tight compartments per hull. Access to the
inside of the floats for cleaning, inspection and
repairs is through the access covers on the float
deck and the access covers inside the wheel
well.

Figures 1-1 and 1-2 show three view drawings
of the Cessna 208 as installed on Wipline model
8750 amphibious floats.

Figures 1-3 and 1-4 show three view drawings
of the Cessna 208B as installed on Wipline
model 8750 amphibious floats.

As a part of the float installation, the following
additional changes are made to the landplane:
1. The hydraulic landing gear retraction system
components and cockpit controls are added
2. The landing gear emergency gear operation
hand pump and system are added
3. A water rudder steering system is installed
4. Auxiliary Vertical Fins (Finlets) are added
5. A seaplane extended chord rudder is installed
6. TKS pod & reservoir (if equipped) is
removed

Operational information is detailed in the
Cessna 208 Airplane Flight Manual Supplement
or Cessna 208B Airplane Flight Manual
Supplement.

Actual displacement for each float in fresh
water is:

Amphibian:
at 100% Buoyancy =8240 pounds
at 80% Reserve =9155 pounds

Seaplane:
at 100% Buoyancy =8741 pounds
at 80% Reserve =9712 pounds

LANDING GEAR
The landing gear incorporated within the
amphibious floats is a retractable quadricycle
type with two swiveling nose (or bow) wheels
and four (4) (two (2) dual sets) of main wheels.
Shock absorption is provided by air-oil shock
struts on the two main landing gear assemblies
and composite flat springs on the nose gear
assemblies. Each main wheel is equipped with a
hydraulically-actuated disc brake.

Landing gear extension and retraction is
accomplished by two (2) electrically-driven
hydraulic pumps and four (4) hydraulic
actuators (one (1) for each gear).

The hydraulic pumps are located in the aircraft
empennage and can be accessed by removing
the aft cabin bulkhead. The hydraulic actuators
are located adjacent to each gear.

Hydraulic system fluid level should be checked
at 25-hour intervals and should be serviced to
levels in accordance with the installed placard
using MIL-H-5606 (red) hydraulic fluid. The
fluid level placard (Figure 1-7) is installed on
the forward hydraulic Reservoir.

FIGURE 1-7: HYDRAULIC
FLUID LEVEL PLACARD
The nose wheels are fully castoring for
maneuverability while the airplane is under
engine power or being towed.

The main landing gear has dual 6:00x6 8-ply
tires and the nose gear has a single 5:00x5 10-
ply tire. All tires must be approved to TCO C62,
type III. Differential use of the main-wheel
brakes steers the aircraft on land.

LANDING GEAR CONTINUED
Grease zerks are provided in many locations
that have pivoting joints. Greasing is
recommended at 25 hour intervals, or more
often depending on operating environment, with
HCF Grease or equivalent. See Figure 3-2 for
nose gear grease zerk locations. See Figure 4-3
for main gear grease zerk locations.

STRUT PACKAGE
The strut package attaches the floats to the
aircraft.

The strut package is comprised of the forward
struts, main pylons, rear cross-wires, and front
cross wires (or flying wires).

The streamlined struts are made from extruded
aluminum alloys. The main pylon is built from
machined aluminum trusses, internal ribs, and
skinned with aluminum sheet.

WATER RUDDERS
The floats are equipped with water rudders
attached at the rear of the float structure. These
rudders steer when the floats are in the water.

Rudder controls are integrated into the existing
aircraft rudder system and should move in the
same direction as the air rudder.

Water rudders are extended and retracted with a
handle installed to the right of the pilot seat.

Water Rudder & Spring

1.2 CLEANING
The outside of the float should be kept clean by
washing with fresh water and soap. Special care
should be taken to remove engine exhaust trails,
water-line marks, and barnacle deposits. After
salt water operations, washing with fresh water
should be done daily with special attention paid
to hard to reach places like:
- skin seams
- wheel well areas
- float attach points
- hardware

Alternatively, water taxiing in fresh water at
step-speed can help flush the floats themselves,
but additional rinsing should be conducted on
struts and fittings. The float interior should be
flushed out, especially if salt water or polluted
water gets inside the compartments. If the floats
are being stored inside a building either installed
on the aircraft or not, it is strongly
recommended to remove the inspection covers
so the interior of the floats can dry out.

Even without direct contact with
saltwater, this hydraulic pump in the
aircraft fuselage has severely corroded
due to being in a saltwater environment
without being kept clean.
OPERATORS IN SALT WATER
ARE STRONGLY CAUTIONED
RINSING THE AIRCRAFT AND
FLOATS WITH FRESH WATER AT
THE END OF EACH DAY IS
CRITICAL. ADHERING TO THESE
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
ARE VITAL FOR KEEPING
CORROSION TO A MINIMUM.
FAILURE TO CLEAN
THOROUGHLY CAN SEVERLY
SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE
FLOATS.
SALT WATER, POLLUTED WATER
AND THEIR ENVIROMENTS,
ARE STRONGLY AND DIRECTLY
LINKED TO CORROSION AND
MUST BE HANDLED
PRO ACTIVELY.


1.3 CORROSION
Corrosion is the process by which metals are
turned into oxides. It is a natural and ultimately
unavoidable chemical reaction that is
accelerated by dissimilar metals in contact with
each other, and enclosed spaces and
contaminants like dirt and exhaust deposits that
hold moisture against the metal. If that moisture
is salt water or fresh water that is polluted, it
conducts the electrolytes better and the process
of corroding is faster.

Most aircraft and most floats are made out of
aluminum due to its strength to weight ratio, and
its ability to withstand fatigue and remain field
repairable.

Steel is used for strength in hardware and
landing gear parts, and these are often areas
where these dissimilar metals cause corrosion.

Areas where moisture and dirt mix and stay wet
against metal are common sites of oxidation.
Float strut attach points, water rudders, and skin
joints are examples of areas where this occurs.

CORROSION HOT SPOTS
- DISSIMILAR METAL CONTACT
LIKE LANDING GEAR, FLAOT
ATTACH POINTS AND OTHERS.
- ENCLOSED SPACES THAT STAY
MOIST LIKE LANDING GEAR
FLAOT INTERIORS, SKIN LAP-
J OINTS, AND OTHERS.
- CONTAMANINATES ON THE
METAL LIKE DIRT, SALT, ENGINE
EXHAUST AND OLD OR
OTHERWISE COMPRISED GREASE


1.3 CORROSION (CONT.)
Cladding, plating, anodizing, painting, greasing
and waxing are all processes used to help
protect metal from corrosion; Wipaire uses all
these techniques during manufacture. But due to
the rugged way our floats are used and the
environment, these surface sealers become
abraded or wear away, leaving the metal
exposed.

Removal of corrosion is detailed more fully in
Chapter 8, but there are a few things an owner
can do to stop the spread of corrosion and
minimize the damage. Aside from the already
detailed cleaning and inspection procedures, an
anti-corrosion spray like Corrosion X, or its
equivalent, should be used liberally. Because it
has the ability to displace moisture and
contaminants, it can be used when the floats are
still wet or when they are dry.

Periodically, hardware should be covered with
waterproof grease. Especially in a salt water
environment, bolts should be removed at least
once a year and grease applied to the shafts,
bolt/screw heads, and nuts.


1.4 FLOAT HANDLING & JACKING
To jack the floats for servicing tires, brakes, or
doing retraction tests, it is recommended that a
floor type jack (three ton minimum.) be used if
lifting apparatus is not available . These jacks
are commonly used for truck repair. The jack
should be positioned on the keel centerline on
the first bulkhead forward of the step. The jack
should contact the keel squarely and if room
permits, slip a board between the jack and keel.

CAUTION!
Due to critical angle of aircraft when single
float jacking; check that wing fuel tank
valves are confirmed closed, if possible use
wing tie rope from float side to be jacked and
tie off to tug.

Raise the float slowly; making sure the aircraft
stays balanced. After raising, block up the keel
in several places and lower the jack. Raise only
one float at a time with the opposite float wheels
chocked. Position a sawhorse under main and
after body keel to keep aircraft from tipping fore
and aft.

TOWING
When towing the amphibian aircraft, two lugs
are provided on the lower forward side of the
nose spring. A rigid V frame can be fabricated
to attach to these lugs for towing the aircraft
with a tractor. Wipaire parts has this tow bar
available for purchase.

HOISTING
Hoisting the aircraft can be performed using a
lifting apparatus that attaches to the aircraft with
lifting rings which are installed at the wing spar
joints. Contact Wipaire Parts for details if
necessary to remove or install floats

LEVEL
The level reference for the Caravan is two jig
located nutplates and screws installed on left
side of fuselage below side windows and
forward of cargo door. Weight and balance
information should be taken with aircraft in a
level attitude. The float deck is at a 4 degree
nose-down incidence from the aircraft level
reference.

1.5 MOORING
For land operations, the aircraft is equipped with
three fixed mooring points. Two are located on
the outboard edge of the wing struts and the
other is located on the underside of the tail
section of the aircraft.

Mooring Procedure on Land:
1. Position the aircraft near mooring location
and it point into the wind.
2. Set the parking brake and/or chock the main
wheels.
3. Install the aircraft control column lock.
4. Install the flight control gust lock.
5. Tie down the aircraft to anchor points on the
ground.
6. Install provided engine inlet covers, pitot tube
covers, and propeller anchor assembly.
7. Attach a static ground cable to one of the
aircraft tie-down eyelets and the ground
anchor point.

For water operations, the floats are equipped
with two deck cleats on each float, one forward
near the pilot/copilot doors, and one aft near the
cargo door.

Mooring Procedure on Water at Dock:
1. Position the aircraft near the dock and point
into the wind as much as able.
2. Install the control column lock.
4. Tie down using both deck cleats to secure
aircraft to dock and keep it from moving if
wind direction shifts.

Mooring Procedure on Water at Buoy:
1. Position the aircraft near buoy.
2. Install the control column lock.
4. Tie to buoy using one deck cleat and leave
sufficient slack in the rope so that the aircraft
can move as the wind direction shifts without
causing damage to aircraft.


CHAPTER 2
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS


AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS

This Airworthiness Limitations section is FAA approved and specifies maintenance required under
paragraphs 43.16 and 91.403(c) of the Federal Aviation Regulations unless an alternative program has
been FAA approved.

The aircraft Airworthiness Limitations are unchanged as a result of installation of the amphibious floats
and the associated systems addressed by this STC.

FAA APPROVED_________________________

CHAPTER 3
NOSE GEAR

3.0 NOSE GEAR

The nose gear consists of composite fiberglass
beams that are attached on top to a moving
carriage and the the bottom to blocks that caster.
Inside the block is a castoring pin that is set into
the machined fork assembly; the castoring pin
allows the nose wheel to pivot 360 degrees.
Geometry is such that no shimmy dampers are
necessary.

The nose gear has an over-center down lock.
Retraction occurs when pressure is applied to
the forward face of the actuator piston and the
carriage is drawn along the tracks in the nose
box. Gear position light proximity switches are
closed when the piston (containing magnetic
material) has reached either end of its travel.
Refer to Figure 3.1 for visual reference

The nose gear has single 5:00 x 5 10-ply tire.
All tires must be approved to TSO C62, type III.

NOSE WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL
To remove each nose wheel
1. J ack the aircraft, completely lifting both
hulls. It is not recommended to jack only
one hull.
2. Cut cotter pin and remove axle nut.
3. Remove the AN4 bolt securing the opposite
side of the axle.
4. Pull/Push the axle through the side plate.
(either direction) taking care to set spacers
aside as they are removed.
5. Wheel will drop out between side plates
once axle has been removed a sufficient
distance.

Each nose wheel is a split-type rim. To remove
the tire:
1. Remove air from tire.
2. Remove six (6) bolts that hold the wheel
together.
3. Split rim and remove tire and tube.

Nose tires should be replaced when the tread is
worn through in any area. Reinstallation is the
reverse of removal.

FIGURE 3-1: NOSE WHEEL & BOX

3.1 ADJUSTMENT/TEST
NOSE GEAR
Refer to Figure 3.1 for visual reference.
Adjustment of actuator stroke is provided at the
ends of the piston rods.
The length of the nose gear rod is adjusted such
that the over-center knuckle (brass) rollers just
bottom out on the down side and the piston just
bottoms out on the mounting flange. The up
stops nests in the up-stop pins.

Nose gear proximity switches are located on
clips that are mounted on the outer cylinder
body, one on each end. The most forward switch
is for the gear down lights and most aft is for the
gear up position lights. Set the proximity switch
mounting clip along outer cylinder body to a
position such that the light goes out when the
over-center track is about inch from bottomed
position while traveling in the up direction.
Lights should come on about 1/8 inch from the
bottomed position while traveling in the down
direction.

The cylinder piston has a magnet that will
activate the proximity switches.


3.2 NOSE GEAR BASIC SERVICING
Refer to Figure 3-2 for visual reference.
The nose gear pivot assembly should be cleaned
and inspected every 25 hours or more frequently
when ever in water for an extended period of
time, especially saltwater. Tracks and blocks
should be cleaned and left dry or alternately
cleaned and wiped with a rag with dry silicone
spray on it.

The nose wheels contain grease nipples for the
wheel bearings. They should be greased every
25 hours.
Nose tires are standard 5:00 x 5, 10-ply, inflated
to 60 +/- 5 psi. All tires must be approved to
TSO C62, type III.

CHAPTER 4
MAIN LANDING GEAR
BRAKES &GEAR
RETRACTION

4.0 GENERAL
The main landing gear incorporated within the
amphibious floats are retractable, quadricycle
type with four main wheels in a dual tire
formation. Air-oil shock struts on the two main
landing gear assemblies provide shock
absorption.

The main landing gear has dual 6:00 x 6 8-ply
tires. All tires must be approved to TSO C62,
type III. The gear system is hydraulically
actuated and driven by two hydraulic pumps.
Brakes are hydraulic and there is a caliper on
each main wheel.

BRAKE REMOVAL & INSPECTION
Each main wheel has a dedicated brake caliper.
To remove the brake caliper:
1. Remove two mounting bolts on each caliper.
2. Compress the caliper piston using a c-clamp.
3. Slide caliper off of the brake disc.

Brake pads should be replaced when the
minimum section thickness is less than 0.100,
see Figure 4-1.

Generally, the brake discs should be checked for
wear, grooves, deep scratches, and excessive
pitting. Pitting deeper than 0.015 or thickness
below 0.327 is cause for replacement.

MAIN WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL
To remove each main wheel:
1. Remove brake caliper.
2. Cut cotter pin and remove axle nut.
3. Pull wheel off of axle.

Each main wheel is a split-type rim. To remove
the tire:
1. Remove air from tire
2. Remove 3 bolts that hold wheel together
3. Split rim and remove tire and tube

Main gear tires should be replaced when
the tread is worn through in any
area. Reinstallation is the reverse of
removal for tires, wheels, and brakes.

FIGURE 4-1: MINIMUM BRAKE
LINING THICKNESS

MAIN GEAR/WHEEL ALIGNMENT
There is no way to adjust the alignment within
each main gear wheel set. If the tires are
showing signs of abnormal/unsymmetric wear,
some component has likely been worn/bent.
Starting with the axle, examine each main gear
component and mounting point for signs of
damage/deformation. Replace damaged
components once found.

If no gear/bulkhead/airframe components are
found to be damaged, use the following
procedure to align left and right floats:
1. Move aircraft to level surface, ensure both
nose wheels are facing aft (i.e. positioned for
forward motion)
2. Measure the length of the forward flying
wires, from the aft face of the clevis on each
end. These distances should be equal. If
they are not, loosen the jamb nuts and adjust
the wires as required so the length of each is
equal.
3. Tighten each forward wire until is snug, then
tighten the jamb nuts. Wire should not be
overly tight, but should be tight enough to
prevent excessive motion at the center.
4. Next, tighten the aft wires in a similar
fashion; measuring between the face of the
clevises and loosening, then tightening the
wires until they are of equal. Secure with
jamb nuts.

BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
Whenever the hydraulic brake lines are
disconnected and reattached the brake system
should be bled. To bleed the brake system:

1. Check that all lines are properly attached
between the brake calipers and brake master
cylinders
2. Check brake fluid reservoir level and fill to
MAX line (located on the pilot side of the
engine compartment mounted to the
firewall).
3. Depress brakes using pilot pedals, brakes will
likely be spongy and need significant travel
to build braking force.
4. Loosen hydraulic fitting at one brake caliper
just enough to let fluid and air seep out when
brakes are actuated.
5. While one person actuates the brakes, a
second person should watch the brake caliper
with the loose fitting.
6. If air is in the system, actuating the brakes
will cause bubbles in the fluid coming out of
the loosened brake caliper fitting.
7. Actuate the brakes through full travel several
times until all the bubbles have been released
and fluid is being expelled at the loose
caliper without signs of air.
8. Tighten the loose caliper fitting.
9. Check fluid level in brake fluid reservoir and
refill to MAX line as necessary.

10. Repeat procedure at each caliper.
11. When complete, brakes should not feel
soft or spongy when actuated.

BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM (ALT.)
When the Hydraulic Brake system is
disconnected use the primary procedures listed
in the previous section, or as an alternative
method to bleed the brake system is cross
bleeding between main gear calipers and to
brake reservoir (Back Bleeding). To bleed the
brakes system using this alternate method:

1. Connect pressurize brake bleeding system to
outboard caliper.
CAUTION
WHEN PERFORMING CROSS
BLEEDING, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO
REMOVE RESIDUAL FLUID FROM
BRAKE RESEVERIOR TO PREVENT
OVERFLOW.

2. Open inboard and outboard bleeders on main
gear and pump fluid between calipers till all air
has been purged from calipers.
3. Tighten inboard caliper bleeder and continue
pressurization to reservoir till all air has been
purged from line.
4. Perform steps 1 thru 3 on opposite main gear
5. When complete check brake fluid in
reservoir service to max line if necessary.
6. When complete, brakes should not feel
soft or spongy when actuated.


FIGURE 4-2: MAIN GEAR, LOWER

4.1 MAIN GEAR RETRACTION
DESCRIPTION

Refer to Figures 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5 and 4-6
for visual reference.

Retraction and extension of the main gear is
accomplished with a hydraulic rack and pinion
type actuator. The actuator consists of two
opposing pistons connected by a geared rack,
with a rotating pinion gear in the middle.

Hydraulic fluid is transferred from one piston to
the other using an electrically reversible
hydraulic pump located in the empennage of the
aircraft. The differential pressure build up
causes the piston to move, pushing the rack and
rotating the pinion gear and its attached drive
shaft.

Attached to each end of the drive shaft are
actuating arms that drive separate rod linkages
with adjustable rod ends. The drive shaft and
actuating arms have a keyway to prevent
slippage on the rotating drive shaft. The rod
linkages push and pull on the Main Gear Top
Arm Assembly causing it to pivot around a
fixed point. Also attached to the actuators drive
shaft is a visual gear position indicator.

This indicator consists of colored bands that
rotate with the drive shaft allowing the pilot to
visually determine the position of the main
landing gear by looking at a placard on the deck
of the float.

Since the actuator rotates through approximately
193 degrees, the rod linkages and the actuating
arm pass an over center point, preventing
reverse driving of the rack and pinion actuator
in both the fully extended and fully retracted
positions. The actuator rotation is adjusted by
setscrews that determine the length of travel of
the actuator pistons. Providing an over center
up-lock prevents inadvertent main gear
extension in the case of a hydraulic failure.

As a secondary safety to ensure the geometry
remains over center with a hydraulic failure, a
spring is installed on the actuating arm
preventing motion of the rack and pinion
actuator. Since the retraction mechanism is over
center, the weight of the landing gear and oleo,
when retracted, also prevent the retraction
mechanism from rotating past the over center
point.

FIGURE 4-3: MAIN GEAR GREASING POINTS

4.1 MAIN GEAR RETRACTION
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

In addition to the over center locking provided
by the rod linkages and actuator arm for the gear
extended position, a second down locking
method is provided as well. The geometry of the
main gear drag link, oleo-pneumatic shock strut
and the top arm assembly, provide an additional
over center locking method. The force vector
from the oleo, (directed in line with the
centerline of the oleo assembly) rotates the
contacting face on the top arm assembly into
contact with the main gear top mount at all
positions of oleo stroke. This transfers the
landing load into a structure designed to
withstand the generated landing forces, as well
as prevents the top arm from rotating and
collapsing the main landing gear.

There are two proximity switches on each main
gear unit. One for sensing gear up position, and
the other for gear down position. These are
easily replaceable and can essentially be
adjusted during maintenance, see figure 4-4 and
4-5. The proximity sensors have a built in LED
to indicate when they are sensing the gear
position. This feature greatly aids in the setup
and servicing of the sensors.

There are several service points on the main
landing gear to pay attention to during
maintenance. Grease zerks are located on the
pivots of the main gear draglinks, each wheel
axle, top and bottom pivot points on the oleo-
pneumatic shock strut, and the rotation point of
the top arm assembly, see figure 4-3. The
adjustable rod end bearings are permanently
sealed and do not require servicing. Inspect the
rod ends for freedom of movement and
corrosion. Replace the rod ends when necessary.
Depending on the operating environment,
greasing requirements may vary. Highly
corrosive environments, such as salt water, may
require more frequent inspections. Regardless,
the gear should be inspected visually at least
every 25 hours for cleanliness and proper
lubrication.


FIGURE 4-4: MAIN GEAR ADJ. DOWN

FIGURE 4-5: MAIN GEAR ADJ. UP

FIGURE 4-6: MAIN GEAR DOWN STOP ADJ.

4.2 MAIN GEAR ASSEMBLY SETUP
AND ADJUSTMENT

Put aircraft on jacks to allow free extension and
retraction of the landing gear. Use safe
operating practices when working around
moving hydraulic components. The actuators
operate at high pressures and generate high
forces when repositioning the landing gear.

Adjusting the Gear Down position:
(See figure 4-4)

1. Bleed pressure off the hydraulic lines by
moving emergency gear position selector
both directions to Up and Down. This will
relieve pressure in the lines allowing
hydraulic lines to be unhooked without
spilling fluid that is under pressure, Item 1.

2. Remove the AN12 bolt at the top of the oleo
shock strut attaching it to the top arm
assembly, Item 1. This will allow the
retraction mechanism to be repositioned by
hand without having to move the weight of
the tires, oleo and drag link assembly. Place a
rag between the drag link and the bulkhead as
the gear will rotate and make contact with
bulkhead, possibly scratching the finish.

3. Remove the 4 nuts connecting the rod
linkages (Item 3) to the actuator arms (Item
5). Remove the rod linkages from the arms.
(Note: There are qty 3 NAS1149F0463P
washers between the rod end and the actuator
arm.)

4. Remove the spring attached to the actuator
arm.

5. Loosen the AN4 bolt and nut holding the
actuator arms (Item 5) to the actuator shaft.
Remove the two arms from the shaft being
careful not to lose the parallel key. It is not
necessary to remove the visual gear position
indicator assembly from the outboard
actuator arm.

6. Remove the qty 4, 5/16 - 18 bolts, that hold
the actuator into the channel that runs across
the top of the wheel well.

7. Allow the actuator to drop down from
channel and remove the up and down
hydraulic lines.

AND ADJUSTMENT (CONT.)

8. NOTE: The actuator should not need
adjustment while in service. The only time
adjustment should be necessary is when the
actuator is disassembled in order to replace
internal seals. Assuming this has been done
the remaining steps are for re-rigging the
actuator to be installed back in the float.

9. With the actuator assembled and removed
from float, attach Wipaire Tool 1004800 to
the actuator, taking note that the
FORWARD arrow is pointing forward on
the actuator. Use the 5/16-18 bolts to attach
the tool to the actuator.

10. Rotate the actuator shaft fully to the DOWN
position. If the two keyway slots do not line
up when the actuators internal piston
contacts the DOWN adjustment set screw
(Item 8), the actuator needs adjustment. It
may be necessary to use one of the actuator
arms removed in step 5 to help rotate the
actuator.

11. To adjust the DOWN position, loosen the
DOWN adjustment screw jamb nut (Item
9) and back off the adjustment screw.
Replace the O-ring between the actuator end
cap, and the sealing washer under the
adjustment screw jamb-nut whenever the
jamb-nut is loosened for adjustments.

12. Align the keyway on the actuator shaft (Item
4) with the keyway on Wipaire Tool
1004800. Insert the parallel key removed in
step 5 into the aligned keyways.

13. Thread in the Down Adjustment setscrew
until light contact is made between the
setscrew and the actuators internal piston.
Do not over tighten as the actuator cannot
rotate with Wipaire Tool 1004800 and the
key installed. Over tightening can damage
the face of the actuator piston.

14. With setscrew positioned against the piston
face, and a new o-ring installed around the
set screw, tighten the adjustment screw jamb
nut (Item 9).

AND ADJUSTMENT (CONT.)

15. Repeat steps 10 - 14 for setting the UP
position setscrew.
(See figure 4-5)

16. Install actuator in float by reversing steps
thru 7. Safety wire 5/16-18 bolts when
installed. Actuator arm outer face is flush to
actuator shaft.

17. Loosen the rod linkage jamb nuts and
lengthen the rods slightly (Item 3). Make
equal adjustments to each rod.

18. Rotate actuator arms until the internal piston
is against the down adjustment set screw.

19. Shorten the adjustment rods until the Top
Arm Contact Face (Item 6) touches the
contact face of the Top Mount (Item 7).
(Actuator needs to be rotated fully against
the down setscrew).

20. Preload the rod linkages by shortening each
rod by 1 turn after the contact faces touch on
the Top Arm and Top Mount. Tighten the
Rod Linkage jamb nuts.

21. Check the operation of the over center down
lock. As the actuator rotates causing the
contact faces to touch, the actuator arm
should continue to rotate and snap past
Top Dead Center (TDC). Make sure that
there is preload on the linkage rods so that
contact faces remain touching past TDC.
Push and pull on the Top Arm Assembly
(Item 2) to ensure it is locked over center.
The Top Arm Assembly needs to be
contacting the Top Mount (Item 7) when the
gear is extended to properly transfer the
landing loads.

22. Loosen the (Fig 4-6, Item 1) jam nut on the
Main Gear Down Stop Assembly, and
loosen the NAS-428 adjustment bolt
(Fig 4-6, Item 2). When the aircraft is off the
jack stands and the weight of the aircraft
fully on the wheels, adjust the NAS-428 bolt
to lightly make contact with the Main Gear
Top Arm when the gear is in the full down
position. Tighten the jam nut.

23. Proceed to the next section to check the
Gear UP Position over center locking.

NOTE: There are three over center locks on
the main gear when the gear is down. The first
is the over center rod linkages that are adjusted
in the above steps. The second is from the
spring pulling on the actuator arm when the gear
is in the down position. The spring prevents the
actuator from moving in the event of a loss of
hydraulic pressure. The third comes in the form
of the angle between the oleo-pneumatic shock
strut and the Top Arm Assembly. The vector of
the oleo force is over center, about at the
rotation point on the Top Arm Assembly. Thus,
one could effectively remove the entire gear
actuator, and the geometry of the Oleo and the
Top Arm alone would force the contact faces of
the top arm and top mount together and lock it
over center.

There are also two over center locks when the
gear is in the retracted UP position. The first
is a spring installed on the actuating arm that
prevents motion of the rack and pinion actuator
in the event of a hydraulic failure. The second
over center lock comes from the geometry of the
gear in the up position.

Since the retraction mechanism is driven over
center, the weight of the landing gear and oleo,
when retracted, prevent the retraction
mechanism from rotating past the over center
point. The weight of the gear wants to rotate the
Top Arm Assembly, however, when rotating the
Top Arm, the rod linkages must also move. The
geometry is such that the rod linkages are over
center on the actuator shaft centerline, and thus
the rod linkages are trying to rotate the actuator
more toward the UP position and in turn force
the actuator piston face into the up adjustment
setscrew

4.3 ADJUSTING THE GEAR
UP POSITION
1. DO NOT adjust the rod linkages (Item 3)
when setting the over center up adjustment.

2. Rotate the actuator rotation arm fully toward
the gear up position.

3. When the actuators internal piston contacts
the UP adjustment setscrew, check to make
sure all the linkages have rotated past Top
Dead Center (TDC) by pushing and pulling
on the Top Arm Assembly. The UP
adjustment screw (Item 11) should not need
to be adjusted if properly set using Wipaire
Tool 1004800 during the actuator
maintenance. (If it is found that one can
reverse drive the rotary actuator and pull the
gear down by hand, the rod linkage and the
actuator arms have not moved past TDC. Re-
check the position of the UP stop using
Wipaire Tool 1004800. If the UP position
is found to be correct, look for signs of
damage in the floats as something is out of
position preventing the stop setting using
Tool 1004800 from being correct. Call
Wipaires Customer Service Department for
specific instructions. )

4. Bleed air from hydraulic system by actuating
the gear several times with the electric
hydraulic pumps. See Chapter 5, Section 5.1,
for specific bleeding instructions.

5. If it is necessary to adjust gear up and down
position switches proceed to next section. If
not, lower gear and reattach oleo shock strut
to top arm assembly. When aircraft weight is
fully on the wheels, remember to set the
NAS-428 bolt on the Main Gear Down Stop
Assembly (refer to Section 4.2 Step 22).


4.4 ADJUST MAIN UP AND DOWN
POSITION SWITCHES
1. With the aircraft still on jacks, position the
gear in the DOWN position.

2. Loosen the jam nut on the Gear Down
Proximity Switch located on the back of the
Main Gear Top Mount.

3. With the aircraft master switch on, thus
providing power to the proximity switch,
thread the switch in or out until the LED light
built into the proximity switch initially
illuminates with the gear arm in the full down
over center locked position.

4. Tighten the jam nut on the proximity switch
to 10 +/- 3 inch-pounds.

5. Reposition the gear to the UP position.

6. Loosen the jam nuts on the gear up proximity
sensor.

7. Adjust the gear up proximity sensor switch to
have between a 0.030 - 0.060 gap between
the proximity sensor plate and the proximity
sensor. Tighten the jam nuts on the proximity
sensor to 10 +/- 3 inch-pounds.

8. At this point, check to insure that the built in
LED on the proximity sensor is illuminated
when the sensor plate is rotated in front of the
sensor.

9. With the gear in the full up position. Loosen
the AN6 bolt holding the proximity sensor
plate to the Main Gear Top Arm and the
socket head cap screw that prevents rotation
of the sensor plate.

10. Rotate the sensor plate so that the sensor is
roughly centered on the plate with the gear in
the up position.

11. Tighten the AN6 bolt, socket head cap
screw, and re-safety AN6 bolt.

12. Check for proper light illumination on the
gear selector in the cockpit in both the up and
down position.

13. If necessary, reattach the oleo shock strut to
the Top Arm Assembly.

14. Remove aircraft from jack stands

FIGURE 4-7: ROTARY ACTUATOR

FIGURE 4-8: MAIN SHOCK STRUT

4.5 EMERGENCY GEAR
OPERATION

An emergency hand pump is provided in
case of total electric pump failure or loss of
fluid. The emergency hand pump draws
hydraulic fluid from the bottom of the
hydraulic power pack reservoir. The
hydraulic power pack electric pumps have
fluid pickup tubes that do not reach the
bottom of the hydraulic fluid reservoir. This
prevents the electric pump from being able
to pump all the fluid out of the system.

The remaining small reserve quantity of
fluid below the electric pump pickup tube is
then reserved exclusively for the emergency
hand pump. The quantity of reserve fluid
below the electric pump pickup tubes is
sufficient to raise or lower the landing gear
with the hand pump alone.



CHAPTER 5
HYDRAULICS

5.0 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

WET HANDLE VS. DRY
HANDLE SYSTEM

These instructions are for the later model
dry handle hydraulic system that is used
for new 8750 float installations. For legacy
installations retrofitted from 8000s to
8750s, the wet handle pump system may
be installed.

The dry handle system is characterized by a
gear selector head containing an electrical
switch that is connected with wires to the aft
fuselage mounted pump. The pump
direction is reversible.

The legacy wet handle system is
characterized by a gear selector head that
contains a mechanical valve and is
connected with hydraulic lines directly to
the gear. The pump direction is not
reversible.

For retrofit installations, where the model
8750 is mated to the wet handle equipped
aircraft, operation of the hydraulic system is
the same as with the model 8000 installation
pressure and return lines at the fuselage
exits are connected to pressure and return
lines at the strut (pylon) attach points.

The only electrical difference between the
standard and retrofit hydraulic system is the
addition of a port and starboard (low) power
wire that runs to the powered proximity
switch that commands main gear position
indication. See drawing number 1006012,
revision A, or later approved revision, for
electrical information pertaining to the
hydraulic system.

See drawing number 1006004, latest
revision for hydraulic system descriptive
information for the retrofit installation.

For Cessna 208 see drawing number
1006005, revision A or later approved
revision, or for Cessna 208B see drawing
number 1006016 revision A or later
approved for hydraulic system descriptive
information for the current production
installation.

From the aircraft belly up the hydraulic
system should be maintained with ICA
document number 1002554, revision G or
later approved revision, as applicable to the
model 8000 installation.

From the aircraft belly down, the hydraulic
system shall be maintained with these ICA

The following instructions pertain to the
current production dry-handle system
configuration with reversible pumps.

BASIC DESCRIPTION

A pressure of between 500 psi and 700 psi
in the DOWN position and 500 psi and
1000 psi in the UP position is maintained
in the supply line. When the pressure falls
below 500 psi in the UP and DOWN
position, the pressure switch activates the
pump solenoid, providing power to the
pump.

When the pressure reaches 700 psi in the
DOWN position and 1000 in the UP
position, the pressure switch deactivates the
solenoid and the pump motor stops. A check
valve on the output side of the pump retains
pressure in the system while the pump is off.

The pump has an interval relief valve that
directs fluid back to the un-pressurized
pump reservoirs when the line pressure
exceeds 1150 psi. The system also has an
internal relief valve to protect against
thermal expansion when line pressure
exceeds 1300 psi.

A timer circuit is included on the powerpack
that commands pump operation briefly
regardless of pressure switch position when
a new gear position is selected; this allows
the gear system to avoid potential thermal
lock caused by fluid expansion during flight
or on the ground.

5.1 BLEEDING THE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The system automatically bleeds, provided
sufficient oil is maintained in the reservoir.
To check the fluid level, fill the reservoir
through the servicing point on the power
pack assembly with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic
oil and cycle the gear.

If the reservoir empties, stop the cycle by
pulling the pump motor circuit breakers. Fill
the reservoir again and complete the cycle.
Continue this procedure until the fluid level
in the reservoir stabilizes (it will vary in
level between gear up and down positions).

If the fluid level continues to decline during
gear cycles, check for external leaks. When
the fluid level stabilizes, fill the reservoir to
the normal operating range as placarded on
the pump reservoir.



CHAPTER 6
WATER RUDDER

6.0 BASIC DESCRIPTION

Water rudder retract and hand pump, mounted to cockpit floor

The water rudder-retract system is manually
operated by a lever through a system of
cables and pulleys. A lever in the cockpit
controls the position of the rudders. The
lever has a locking feature that prevents
inadvertent operation of the rudders in
flight.

Steering is directed from the aircraft rudder
steering system. The controls are
interconnected and seamless to the operator.
The water rudder moves with the air rudder.

WATER RUDDER RIGGING
All cables in the water rudder steering and retract
system should be rigged to 30 +/- 5 lbs.

Water rudders should be centered, when the air
rudder is centered, by adjusting turnbuckles.
There is no left or right rigging adjustment related
to the maximum travel of the water rudder system.
For 208 cable routing see figure 6-2 or installation
drawing 1006006, revision A or later approved
revision. For 208B Cable routing see figure

CHAPTER 7
ELECTRICAL

7.0 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

WET HANDLE VS. DRY
HANDLE SYSTEM

These instructions are for the later model
(current production) dry handle electrical
system that is used for new 8750 float
installations. For legacy installations
retrofitted from 8000s to 8750s, the wet
handle system may be installed.

The dry handle system is characterized by a
gear selector head containing an electrical
switch connected with wires to the aft
fuselage mounted pump. The pump
direction is reversible. The direction the
pump turns is controlled by the gear position
switch.

The legacy wet handle system is
characterized by a gear selector head that
contains a mechanical hydraulic valve and is
connected with hydraulic lines directly to
the gear. The pump direction is not
reversible.

For retrofit installations, where the model
8750 is mated to the wet handle equipped
aircraft, operation of the hydraulic system is
the same as with the model 8000 installation
pressure and return lines at the fuselage
exits are connected to pressure and return
lines at the strut (pylon) attach points.

The only electrical difference between the
legacy 8000 and retrofit 8750 system is the
addition of a port and starboard (low) power
wire that runs to the powered proximity
switch that commands main gear position
indication. For Cessna 208 see drawing
number 1006012, revision A, or later
approved revision, for electrical information
pertaining to the retrofit.

For Cessna 208/208B see drawing number
1006011, revision A, or later approved
revision, for electrical system descriptive
information for the current production dry
handle reversible pump installation.

For Cessna 208 wet handle installation, the
pump/handle electrical system should be
maintained with the ICA pertaining to the
model 8000 installation, document P/N
1002554, revision G or later approved
revision, with consideration for the two
additional power wires shown in drawing
1006012, revision A or later approved
revision.

For Cessna 208/208B dry handle installation,
the pump/handle electrical systems should be
maintained with these ICA. The dry handle

system is installed standard for all new 8750
installations starting May, 2012.

BASIC DESCRIPTION
The following electrical systems are added
with the installation of Wipline 8750 floats
on the Cessna 208/208B:
1. 24V DC Hydraulic pumps (2), each pump
with its own dedicated circuit breaker
2. Gear selector head, for changing pump
flow directions to actuate the landing
gear up and down, and indicate gear
position
For detailed schematic information
regarding the electrical system, refer to the
previously listed Wipaire, Inc. wiring
diagrams.

ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC PUMPS
The installed 24V DC electrically reversing
hydraulic pumps are wired independently to
allow failure of one pump without affecting
the other pump. The pump is electrically
shut-off in the up and down directions by a
fluid pressure switch that cuts pump power
when sufficient hydraulic pressure is
obtained in the gear system. Gear swings
should take less than 45 seconds with both
pumps operating. If the gear cycle time is
greater than 45 seconds it is likely that one
pump is not pumping efficiently and/or not
operating correctly.

This can be verified by pulling each pump
breaker to see if the system functions on one
pump, but not the other.

GEAR SELECTOR HEAD
The installed gear selector head is similar to
units used in several other models of
Wipline floats. This selector head switches
current directions to the electric pumps,
reversing their pumping direction. It also
indicates gear positions using four blue and
four green incandescent lights. The lights for
the nose gear are turned on with a magnetic
switch that senses a magnet in the hydraulic
cylinder piston. The lights for the main gear
position are triggered by inductive proximity
switches that are triggered by metal flags on
the main gear arm. Lights are a cartridge
style and can be replaced by pulling them
out from the bezel. A suspected defective
light can be quickly replaced with an
adjacent light for troubleshooting a
suspected defective bulb.



CHAPTER 8
TKS SYSEM EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT
REQUIREMENTS

8.0 TKS SYSTEM
BASIC DESCRIPTION

The TKS ice protection system is a system
that releases glycol based fluid through
laser-drilled panels on the leading edges of
the wings, horizontal, vertical stabilizers and
other components to prevent ice
accumulation. A slinger ring on the
propeller also emits fluid to keep the prop,
windshield, cargo pod and landing gear free
of ice.

TKS SYTEM MODIFICATION
WHEN FLOATS INSTALLED

For requirements and guidance on
modifying the TKS Icing System on Cessna
208/208B Caravan when 8750 series floats
are installed refer to Wipaire installation
drawing 1004806 revision A, or later
approved revision.
the TKS fluid pod must be removed and
connections capped and covered. For
additional control surface movement
changes see Wipaire installation drawing
6C1-2023. Control throws are different for
the floatplane and TKS equipped landplane.
The TKS system is disabled when the floats
are installed.

CAUTION
THE CESSNA 208/208B WITH MODEL
8750 FLOATS IS NOT APPROVED
FOR FLIGHT IN KNOWN ICING
CONDITIONS.

CHAPTER 9
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES, PRODUCTS
AND INSP. CHECKLISTS

9.0 SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
As coded in the Inspection Time Limits chart in this section, there are items to be checked each
25, 50, 100, and 200 hours. Also, there are notes on special items which may require servicing at
more frequent intervals.

* When conducting an inspection at 25 hours, all items marked for 25 hours would be
accomplished.
* at 50 hours, the 25 and 50-hour items would be accomplished.
*at 100 hours, the 25, 50, and 100-hour items would be accomplished.
* at 200 hours, the 25, 50, 100 and 200-hour items would be accomplished.
* A complete inspection (Annual Inspection) would include all 25, 50, 100, 200 hour
items.

Below is a list of recommended lubricants and protection products when servicing float hull
and other amphibious components. This lists products used by Wipaire during assembly of the
floats.
There may be equivalent products just as satisfactory for protection. However, it is
recommended if trying different products, to inspect them frequently so as to determine their
effectiveness.
Protection of nuts, bolts, hydraulic lines, metal surfaces, or electrical connections.

* If existing grease cannot be identified
you must lubri-flush all float grease fittings
until visibly exhausting all old grease and
new grease is coming out. Additionally if
you cannot determine existing grease in
wheel bearings, completely clean and
repack bearings with new grease.

9.1 CORROSION REMOVAL
Corrosion is usually detected visually, which
is why Wipaire strongly recommends the
previous cleaning and inspection procedures.
It can appear as a white or pale green powder,
discoloration of the metal surface, or bubbles
and blisters under the surface of the paint.

Light corrosion is removed by gentle sanding
or chromic acid. Moderate and severe
corrosion (blistering, flaking and pitting) can
be removed by heavier sanding or grinding.

Reinforcement or replacement of affected
areas may be necessary if there is critical loss
of strength in parent metal and depends on
location and other factors.

Pylon before repair

Pylon Fully Repaired
After removing the corrosion, restore the area
to the original finish, like prime and enamel,
or coat the metal with a waterproof grease.
CORROSION X, or equivalent, should also be
applied to stop corrosion and repel moisture
and contaminants.
Corrosion Limits
Area
Allowable
Thickness loss
Bottom skins 30%
Side Skins fwd of Step 30%
Side Skins aft of Step 20%
Top Deck 30%
Machining 0.015
Struts 0.030

NOTES:
1. Maximum surface area for skin corrosion,
up to to the maximum depth, shall not
exceed one (1) square inch and must be
separated by at least 14 inches from any
other skin corrosion damage.
2. For machined fittings, struts, and pylons,
corrosion limits are provided as maximum
pitting depths. Corroded surface area for
these limits shall not exceed 0.5 square
inches, and must be separated by at least 5
inches from any other corrosion damage

WIPAIRE DRAWINGS REQUIRED FOR 8750 FLOAT INSTALLATION

CESSNA 208B CARAVAN

See Wipaire drawing 1006001, revision A or latest approved revision, for a complete list of
drawings pertaining to the installation and removal of the 8750 floats. A copy of this drawing and
all drawings listed thereon can be obtained from Wipaire, Inc. These drawings are necessary to

CHAPTER 12
AIRCRAFT INSTALLED PERFORMANCE
ITEMS AND DECRIPTIONS

12.1 WING FENCES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Wing fences are flat plates fixed to control
surfaces on top of the wing. The Cessna 208
comes standard with one fence attached to the
inboard edge of each aileron. As part of the
float installation on the Cessna 208B, four
fences are installed: one of the inboard edge of
each aileron and one on the inboard edge of
each spoiler. The fences are installed to aid in
lateral stability and stall characteristics. All of
the appropriate fences must be in place prior
to flight. For location and installation of Wing
fences on the Cessna 208B, see Wipaire
drawing number 1006698 Rev. A or later
approved revision.
12.2 VORTEX GENERATORS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Vortex Generators are typically a triangular
shape design made of various materials that are
used to energize airflow over control surfaces or
wings. There are ten (10) equally spaced Vortex
Generators on the upper wing just aft of the
leading edge on the Cessna 208B only.. With
the addition of the Vortex Generators the
aircraft will have improved controllability and
safety at low speeds. No more than two non-
adjacent vortex generators per wing can be
missing at any one time. If a Vortex Generator
is missing, replace as soon as possible. Refer to
Cessna 208 models Configuration Deviation
List.
12.3 FLOAT SUCTION BREAKERS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The suction breakers are angled aluminum
channel riveted to the bottom surface of the float
afterbody. There are four suction breakers
installed on each float afterbody, two inboard
and two outboard. The suction breakers are
installed to decrease a tendency for the
afterbody to stay attached to the water on
takeoff, particularly on glassy water conditions.
Any number of suction breakers can be missing,
but must be reinstalled as soon as possible. For
installation and location of Suctions breakers
see Wipaire drawing number 1006575 Rev. A or
later approved revision.
CAUTION!
Missing suction breakers will result in longer
water takeoff runs, particularly in glassy
water.
WARNING!
If suction breakers are found to be missing
ensure that holes are adequately sealed prior
to any further water operation to prevent
float compartment filling with water.

12.4 FLOAT SKIMMERS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Float skimmers are bent aluminum attached to
the bottom keel of each float just forward of
the landing gear wheel well. The skimmers are
installed to improve the ability for the hull to
get on the step and maintain step plane during
water takeoffs. If any one of the skimmers are
found to be damaged, the skimmer must be
replaced or both skimmers must be removed
and replaced with either another skimmer or a
keel wear strip as soon as possible. The only
aircraft configuration that is required to have
both skimmers is the Cessna 208B at the
675hp rating. For installation and location of
the Float Skimmers see Wipaire drawing
number 1006575 Rev. A or later approved
revision.
CAUTION!
Missing float skimmers will result in longer
water takeoff runs, particularly in glassy
water.
