Light Sport aircraft Repairman Maintenance Aircraft (LSRMA) The Seamax M-22 braking system consists of two independent hydraulic lines; one for the right wheel, and other for the left wheel. It is a differential brake system which allows you to make turns with the airplane on ground.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.3.3.6 Inspection A visual inspection can be done on the complete system checking for: - Check for leaks on the tubing ends and fittings and over the brake cylinders. -Check the oil level in the tank.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.3.3.7 Filling the system with oil After replacing the nylon tubing, follow these steps to fill all system with oil: - Place the airplane on a jack so that the main wheels are off the ground. The front wheel can stay on ground.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.4.1.5 General The aileron control system consists of two different mechanisms: -The first part is made of stainless steel cables and closed circuit pulleys which run from the torque tube to the belcrancks inside the wing. The ailerons are connected to the belcrancks by a push-pull tube with two rods ends in each end.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.4.1.8 Aileron setting As described on 4.4.1.5, close circuit of control cables should be adjusted at first. The wing belcrancks should be parallel to the centerline of the fuselage, regarding the two pins holes where cables are attached.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.4.2.5 General The Seamax M-22 flaps are activated by a single electric motor. The flap’s deflection limits are made by two micro switches (big ones), one on the top and other on the bottom of the flap activator.
Assembly is done the reverse sequence .Use grease on the ball joint connection. 4.4.2.8 Flaps setting The Seamax M-22 flap has a negative position for cruise. In a negative position a red LED will light in the flap indicator on the instrument panel. A negative deflection should not be more than 5 degrees.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.4.2.9 Flaps verification and adjustment 4.4.3 Rudder Check travel and flap limits. If the flaps are not at the same position, remove one of the ball joint connections. Then unscrew the lock nut on the female ball joint part, and twist it or untwist as desirable for adjustments.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.4.3.4 Level of certification 4.4.3.5 General Manufacturer/MMA/RS Light Sport aircraft Repairman Maintenance Aircraft (LSRMA) The rudder is activated by stainless steel control cables. The control cables are connected to the rudder pedals with turnbuckles that provide a fine adjustment.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW Assembly is done in the reverse sequence. Grease the retraction cable, and be careful of the spring pressure when assembling the two fittings with bolts. 4.4.3.7 Rudder removal / installation Start inserting the water rudder in a down position so that it fits in the housing. Turn it on in the retracted position and keep the pressure to prevent spring loading.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW 4.4.3.8 Rudder adjustment To adjust the rudder to neutral position, put the rudder pedals in neutral position, and adjust the two turnbuckles. 4.4.3.9 Rudder verification and Adjustments The pedals must be aligned and be at least one inch far from the front wheel housing.
A&P mechanic. Since the Seamax M-22 has a pusher engine, one must be very careful to avoid forgetting any tools, parts, or objects loose inside the engine cowling. This is especially important because while the engine runs, these objects can move toward the turning propeller, and cause damage or accidents.
The fuel system inspection should be performed in a well ventilated area away from heaters or flames. The Seamax M-22 fuel system consists in two wing fuel tanks and one central header tank. Both wing fuel tanks feed the central header tank by gravity. From the heater tank, the fuel goes to the engine mechanical fuel pump through a fuel filter and an electric fuel pump as shown in fig 26.
Check the fuel filter for foreign objects and cleanliness. Replace each 100 h or each year. Do not use paper fuel filters. Consult the Rotax manual for fuel filter information. The Seamax has five fuel vents; two for each wing’s tank, one in each side of fuel tank, and one from the header tank.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW Remove the fuel cap and unscrew the six Philips screws on the tank intake. Remove the tank intake and be careful to prevent the “O” ring from falling inside the tank .
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW The propeller installed on the SeaMax M-22 is manufactured by Warp Drive or Sensenich. The leading edges of the blades are protected with a metallic strip to minimize erosion due to water spray contact.

9 Electrical System Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW The wiring supplies electrical energy across the airplane inside a conduit tubing. This system, starting from the battery which is placed behind right seat. The wires run to the rear fuselage section to feed electric landing gear, electric flap, fuel pump and voltage regulator.
Remove the right seat to easily access the battery, open the battery case, disconnect the terminals, and replace the old battery with a new one. Use only sealed batteries, which can fit inside the battery case. Before replacing with a different type of battery, first consult SEAMAX or dealers for technical information. Page 82...
Task can be completed only by a responsible individual who holds an FAA Repairman Certificate and who has gone through a structural repairing course by SEAMAX AIRCRAFT LTDA. Otherwise all structural repairs must be done at Seamax authorized service centers.
11.1 Tools Required 11.2 Materials Required The Seamax M-22 uses polyurethane base paint and primer. Both are UV resistant and protect fiberglass and fabric against UV rays. Scratches or others defects on the paint over fiberglass parts, should be sanded up to the fiberglass.
11.6 Priming Aircraft Maintenance Manual - Seamax M-22 SW / FW The surface must be prepared with sand paper grade 320 or up, on the area being repaired. Do not 11.7 Painting use sand paper to exposed fiberglass. Use putting PPG 1800, use mixture 100 to 1 up to 100 to 3, depending of the cure time desired.
