Robart Retracts in Top Flight Bonanza
I bought a TF Bonanza with them in there. They had to come out for shipping. My question is where do I find a plumbing schematic for the retract system? The plane already has the tank mounted, and the lines plumbed in. I have never owned a retracts plane ever. I see two lines running to each strut/retract assembly. I see 2 male connectors and one female, and a long line with another female I believe. It goes to the tank, and each female has to go to each main retract. Where and how do I refill this tank? I did buy a new robart pump, but not sure where to fill it to keep it from running back out when I disconnect it. Thanks so much for your help.
PS, one of the mains seems sloppy and wiggles back and forth, which will allow strut to turn or wobble. The other is rock solid. Can I adjust the slop out of this main gear? The nose wheel is solid too.

Just click on any kit at the "Installation instructions" button. They are all the same.

I dont think its just a bicycle pump there buddy. Its a sophisticated 2 part deal. You have to buy their air chuck that goes to the bottle. ANd of course the end for the pump. And no, nothing comes with the pump...I just bought it last week, I know.

then get this and not worry about propritary parts. Stick in in the side of the plane hook it in line with the air tank and pump away. The pump thing is funny. cuase I use the robart pump to fill my bike. and my bike pump to fill my retracts. Go figure. I've been selling and this stuff for a couple years and using it for over 10 I know too. No offence though
Kinda why I stuck with CJM stuff.
either way have fun with it
on a side note. If your looking for the t-fittings and air lines. check out the appliance repair shops first. The air control lines are the same stuff, My local shop gives me my stuff
