Manual, P/N 753-817.
WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS (ICA) FOR ALL NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT
INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL. WHEN A NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATION IS INCORPORATED ON THE AIRPLANE,
THOSE PORTIONS OF THE AIRPLANE AFFECTED BY THE INSTALLATION MUST BE INSPECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
ICA PUBLISHED BY THE OWNER OF THE STC. SINCE NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS
INTERFACE, OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENT LOADS OR STRESSES ON ADJACENT STRUCTURES, THE
PIPER PROVIDED ICA MAY NOT BE VALID FOR AIRPLANES SO MODIFIED.
2. All inspections or operations are required at each of the inspection intervals as indicated by a (O). Both the annual and 100 hour inspections are
complete inspections of the airplane, identical in scope, while the 500 and 1000 hour inspections are extensions of the annual or 100 hour inspection,
which require a detailed examination of the airplane, and overhaul or replacement of some major components. Inspections must be accomplished by
persons authorized by the FAA.
NOTE: A log book entry should be made upon completion of any inspections.
3. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. In all cases, see Service Bulletin/Service Letter Index
P/N 762-332 or Service Bulletin/Service Letter Aerofiche Set P/N 1762-331 to verify latest revision.
4. Piper Service Letters are product improvements and service hints pertaining to servicing the airplane and should be given careful attention.
5. Inspections given for the power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual ( Textron Lycoming Part No. 60297-12 ) for this
airplane. Any changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual shall supersede or supplement the inspections outlined in this report.
6. Overhaul as required and at engine overhaul. If installed, in no case may Slick 4300 series magneto's time-in-service exceed engine TBO.
7. Refer to latest revision of Textron Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 480.
8. Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat indicated by burned paint on the cylinders. This condition is indicative of internal damage to the
cylinder and, if found, its cause must be determined and corrected before the airplane is returned to service. Heavy discoloration and appearance of
seepage at the cylinder head and barrel attachment area is usually due to emission of thread lubricant used during assembly of the barrel at the
factory, or by slight gas leakage which stops after the cylinder has been in service for a while. This condition is neither harmful nor detrimental to
engine performance and operation. If it can be proven that leakage exceeds these conditions, the cylinder must be replaced.
9. Verify compliance with Piper Service Bulletin No. 1041 (i.e. - Airborne (Parker Hannifin) Service Letter No. 56.
