Meyers Owners Maintenance Information

Here is a picture of a new hydraulic reservoir dipstick made by Harold Settle for the Meyers hydraulic reservoir.  It is a combination filler plug and dipstick.  It is made of aluminum, has an o-ring seal, a relief cut on the stick for the "full" indication.  It is retained by a hairpin clip and safety wire.

The big advantage of this is that you don't have to take the cowling off to check the reservoir level.  You simply open the oil dipstick door and reach in to the fill plug, unscrew it and wipe it off, and then place it back into the reservoir as any other dipstick.  When you are finished checking the fluid level, screw it back in and reinstall the hairpin clip. Nothing to it.

It has the FAA's blessings with a 337.  Personally, I think that all 200s should have one, just because everything on the airplane is operated by hydraulics, and as they are now, it's so much trouble to check the level, it doesn't get done.

The price is $40.00 FOB Little Rock, Arkansas.
