Transportation

The aerojeep "Pegas" can be transported with a modified trailer M3CA81771D. The trailer is equipped with a winch of the corresponding load capacity, the front support wheel and a hitch bar for fixing the trailer to the hitch of a car.

The air-cushion craft “Pegas” is loaded onto the trailer as follows:

1. The trailer is loosened from the car (hitch bar of a ball type, lifting jack).
2. The front part of the trailer is lifted up to the moment it comes to the ground with its back side.
3. The rope is loosened with the help of the winch.
4. The winch hook is fastened to the nose ring of the craft, the engine starts up and the unit is lifted up in a 'full air cushion' mode with the help of the winch.
5. The engine is off and the craft is carried onto the winch.

The air-cushion craft "Pegas" is unloaded from the trailer as follows:

1. The trailer is loosened from the car (hitch bar of a ball type, lifting jack).
2. The front part of the trailer is lifted up to the moment it comes to the ground with its back side.
3. The rope is loosened with the help of the winch.
4. If the air-cushion craft fails to slope down the trailer surface, the engine should start and the air cushion in full mode slopes down.
   

The craft should be stored in one of the following ways:

• the craft is adjusted on keel blocks and stored covered with a tent;
• the craft is stored in a dry, air-conditioned place on a trailer or keel blocks.

Before lifting it is necessary to transfer all dismountable equipment to the shore and clean the craft from the inside. Strapping is carried out with the help of the lifting bar of no more than 1500 kg load capacity and textile strops. The breaking strength of the strop must not be more than 500 kg. After the craft is lifted up, it should be cleaned, beginning with the underwater part until it is dry. If there is no fire nozzle, jelly and seashells are removed with a hog of non-metal wool. Oil and black strap tracks on the waterline are removed with the help of solvent or kerosene. The deck and overwater boards are enough to wash with soap and brushes. The clean board should be wiped dry with rags. You should clean all deck equipment and put a layer of nonabrasive polishing wax.
