2-10. INTRODUCTION TO GROUND HANDLING. Ground handling covers all essential information
governing the handling of the airplane while on the ground. This includesjacking, weighing, leveling, mooring,
parking, towing and taxiing. When the airplane is handled in the manner described in the following
paragraphs, the chance of possible damage to the airplane and its equipment will be minimized.
2-11. TAXIING. Before attempting to taxi the airplane, ground personnel should be checked out by a
qualified pilot or other responsible person. Engine starting and shut-down procedures should be covered as
well. When it is ascertained that the propeller back blast and taxi areas are clear, apply power to start the taxi
roll and perform the following checks:
a. Taxi forward a few feet and apply the brakes to determine their effectiveness.
b. Taxi with propeller set in low pitch, high RPM setting.
c. While taxiing, make slight turns to ascertain the effectiveness of the steering.
d. Observe wing clearances when taxiing near buildings or other stationary objects, If possible, station
a guide outside the airplane to observe.
e. When taxiing on uneven ground, avoid holes and ruts.
f. Do not operate the engine at a high RPM when running up or taxiing over ground containing loose
stones, gravel or any loose material that may cause damage to the propeller blades.
CAUTION
2-12. TOWING. The aircraft may be towed by means of two rings installed opposite the axle on each
landing gear leg. The use of a rigid tow bar is recommended if the aircraft is to be towed as a common practice.
CAUTION
2-13. PARKING Parking precautions depend mainly on the conditions and location. When parking the
airplane ensure that it is sufficiently protected against adverse weather conditions and presents no danger to
other aircraft. As a general precaution head aircraft into wind, block wheels, lock controls, and set parking
brake by pushing on toe brakes and pulling parking brake handle out.
CAUTION
If the aircraft is to be parked for any length of time, or overnight, it is recommended the airplane be tied down
as per Paragraph 2-14, if a hangar is not available.
2-14. MOORING. The airplane is moored to ensure its immovability, protection and security under various
weather conditions. The following procedure should be followed for proper mooring of the airplane:
a. Park airplane into wind, if possible, and set parking brake.
b. Install internal control lock on control stick.
c. Block wheels.
d. Tie a mooring line (rope, chain, cable, etc.) to the tie-down rings on the underside of each wing
and attach the other end of mooring line to a ground anchor.
e. Tie a mooring line around the tail wheel spring gear and secure the opposite end to a ground
anchor which should be located as close as possible to the tail wheel.
WARNING
2-15. JACKING AND LIFTING. (Refer to Figure 2-6.) Jacking the airplane is necessary to service the
landing gear and to perform other service operations. The airplane may be raised by placing jacks under the
jack pads located on the underside of each wing on the main spar. The tail may either be lifted and the fuselage
belly placed on a suitable padded support, or a tail wheel stand may be used.
Whenever the aircraft is supported on both wings simultaneously, it is necessary to either tie the tail
down by the tail wheel spring or add sufficient ballast weight (min. 200 lbs.) at the tail to prevent the aircraft
from pivoting nose down on the wing jacks.
2-16. LEVELING. (Refer to Figure 2-6a.) Longitudinal leveling is accomplished by use of the two leveling
points on the right side of the cockpitjust below the cabin door. Lateral leveling may be done by opening both
cabin doors and place a straightedge and a level across the fuselage frame at the bottom of the doors.
Adjustments for longitudinal leveling may be made by adding or removing small blocks or raising or
lowering a jack depending on what is used. Adjustments to a lateral leveling may be made by removing air
from the main wheel tire on the high side.
2-17. WEIGHING. (Refer to Figure 2-6b.) Weighing is done the same way any conventional tail wheel type
aircraft is weighed. Preparation for weighing is as follows:
a. Be certain that all items checked in the airplane equipment list are installed in the proper location
in the airplane.
b. Remove excessive dirt, grease, moisture, foreign items such as rags and tools from the airplane
before weighing.
c. Defuel airplane; then open all fuel drains until all remaining fuel is drained. Operate engine until
all undrainable fuel is used, and engine stops.
d. Drain all oil from the engine, by means of the oil drain, with the aiplane in ground attitude. This
will leave the undrainable oil still in the system. Engine oil temperature should be in the normal operating
range before draining.
e. Put flaps in the fully retracted position and all control surfaces in the neutral position. All
entrance doors closed.
f. Weight the airplane inside a closed building to prevent errors in scale readings due to wind.
The procedure for weighing is as follows:
a. Place the aircraft main wheels on platform scales by either towing the aircraft up onto the scales,
after they are blocked to prevent movement, or jack the main wheels off the ground (refer to Paragraph
2-15) and roll the scales under the wheels; then let the aircraft down onto the scales. The tail must be lifted
and placed on a stand or suitable support that in turn is placed on the third set of scales. This stand must
support the aircraft from a point just aft of the tail gear mounting clamp.
b. Level the aircraft per Paragraph 2-16.
c. With the airplane level and breaks released, record the weight shown on each scale. Deduct the
tare from the tail wheel weight.
2-18. SERVICING.
2-19. GENERAL. Servicing the airplane includes the replenishment of fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid,
tire
pressures, lubrication requirements, and other items required to completely service the airplane. Figure 2-7
gives the description and location of the various service points.

2-21. SERVICING FUEL SYSTEM. At intervals of 50 hours or 90 days, whichever comes first, the fuel
strainer should be cleaned. Easy access to the fuel bowl can be obtained through the removable panel located
just aft of the fire wall on the left side. The quick drain valve located just below the access panel should be
checked daily for water or dirt. Additional service information may also be found in Section IV. Inspection
intervals of the various fuel system components may also be found in Section III.
2-22. FILLING FUEL TANK. Observe all required precautions for handling gasoline. The fuel tanks of
each wing are filled through the filler necks located on the forward slope of each wing.
WARNING
Ensure that jet fuel is not introduced into the fuel tanks. It can
cause damage to the fuel system and/ or engine. Jet fuel may not be
compatible with fuel tank sealants, seals, gaskets, o-rings, flexible
lines and other fuel system components. Jet fuel introduced into 2
piston engine will result in damage to the engine, engine failure, or
sudden engine stoppage often during the initial takeoff phase of a
flight. Piper Aircraft has issued a Service Bulletin No. 797B - Fuel
Port Restrictor Installation, which provides fuel port restrictors
and instructions in the event that jet fuel is introduced into the
piston engine of the aircraft.
Each wing tank holds a capacity of 44.5 U.S. gallons giving a total system capacity of 89 U.S. gallons. Fill the
tanks with fuel as specified on the placard adjacent to each filler neck or as indicated in Table II-I. A wooden
fuel dipstick P/N 76897-2 clipped to the bulkhead behind the seat provides a means of determining the fuel
quantity in each tank when the aircraft is on the ground. For proper use of the calibrated dipstick the wings
must be level (with tail wheel and main gear on level ground). To measure the useable fuel quantity, remove
the fuel filler cap and vertically insert the dipstick in the fuel cell at the aft edge of the opening.
2.23. DRAINING MOISTURE FROM FUEL SYSTEM. The fuel system should be tapped at the start of
each days work to remove any water that may be in the system. This may be accomplished by activating the
wing tank drains, header tank drain, and fuel strainer drain per description and instructions given in
Paragraph 2-24.

2-24. DRAINING FUEL SYSTEM. The entire fuel system may be drained by means of four quick drain
wing, near the butt rib, just
valves. Each wing tank has an individual drain located on the underside of the
of the main spar center
ahead of the main spar. The centrally mounted header tank located on the front drains
section and just aft of the hopper throat has a drain of the same type as the wing tank drains. These
are activated by pushingup and holding.
NOTE
Since this system acts as a one tank system, draining the header
tank will result in draining both wing tanks. The drain valves on
both wings should be activated simultaneously to expedite
draining. All tank drain valves can be activated together to
accomplish complete draining of the system faster. The header
tank is the lowest point in the system.
The fourth drain is the fuel strainer drain and is located between the fire wall and leading edge of the wing
on the lower left side of the fuselage.This drain is a push to open and turn to lock open.

Section VII for brake bleeding procedure which should be performed if any great amount of
required to fill the reservoir.
2-28. DRAINING BRAKE SYSTEM. To drain the brake system, connect a hose to the bleeder fitting on
the wheel brake cylinder housing and place the other end in a suitable container. Open the bleeder valve
and slowly pump the desired brake pedal until fluid ceases to flow. To clean the brake system, flush with
denatured alcohol.
2-29. TIRES.
2-30. SERVICING TIRES. The tires should be maintained at the pressure specified in Table II-I. When
checking tire pressure, examine the tires for wear, cuts, bruises and slippage.
2-30A. TIRE BALANCE. (Refer to Figure 2-8.) Proper balancing is critical for the life of aircraft tires. If
a new tire is balanced upon installation it will usually remain balanced for the life of the tire without having
any shimmy or flat spots, and an inexpensive balancer can by made that will balance almost any tire for
light aircraft. Balancethe tire as follows:
a. Mount the tire and tube (if one is used) on the wheel, but do not install the securingbolts. Install
the wheel bearings in the wheel; then, using the -7 bushings, -6 spacers, and -5 nuts, install the wheel-tire
assembly on the -8 pipe. Secure the -5 nuts finger-tight so that the wheel halves touch each other. Be sure
the bolt holes are aligned! Insert the -4 axle through the -8 pipe and place the wheel in the center of the
balancer. Make sure the axle is only on the chamfered edges of the balancer and that it is at 90° to the sides
of the balancer.
b. Release the tire. If it is out of balance it will rotate, coming to rest with the heaviest point on the
bottom. Tape a 1/2 ounce patch across top center of the tire. Rotate the tire 45° and release it again. If the
tire returns to the same position, add a 1 ounce patch and again rotate the tire and release it. Continue this
procedure until the tire is balanced.
c. When balance is attained, put a chalk mark on the sidewall directly below the patch. Use one
mark for each half ounce of weight needed. Mark the valve stem location on the tire and the opposite wheel
half to assure reassembly in the same position. Remove the wheel from the balance stand, break it down
and clean the inside of the tire with toluol. Apply a coat of patch cement to both the patch and the inside
center of the tire in line with the chalk marks. When the cement has dried, install the patches making
certain they are on the center line of the tire and aligned with the chalk marks on the sidewall.Burnish the
patches to remove trapped air, etc.
d. When reassembling the wheel, powder the inside of the tire. Mount the tire on the valveside of
the wheel in the same position it was in when it was balanced. Install the other wheel half, aligning the
chalk marks. Install the bolts and tighten to required torque, then air the tire and recheck the balance. The
wheel should not be more than 1/2 ounce out of balance.
e. The followinginstructions will help in building the balancer: (Refer to Figure 2-8.)
1. Chamfer top edges of-3 sides, leaving 1/16 inch flat on top inboard edge. Rivet -2 tee's to -3
sides using AN 470-AD5 rivets 2" spacing. Use AN 426-AD5 rivets 2" center to center to secure -2 tee's to
-1 base. If tee extrusion is unavailable,heavy angle extrusion could be used. -3 sides must be vertical.
2. The -4 axle must slide through the -8 pipe. The -5 nuts were made by reaming the existing
threads in the AN 365-624 nuts with an R drill, then tapping with a 1/8-27 pipe tap.
3. The -6 spacers were made from 1/2 inch aluminum tubing. The two lengths of spacers are
suitable for balancingmost any aircraft wheel.
4. The -7 bushings may be made from one inch phenolic or aluminum using a 1 inch holesaw to
cut out the smaller bushing and a 1 hole saw to cut out the larger. By inserting a 1 inch long threaded bolt
through the pilot hole and securing with a washer and nut, a drill press and file may be used to make the off-set
on the bushing. The turned-down part should just slide inside the bearing race. Ream the pilot hole to slide
over the -8 pipe threads.
5. The -8 pipe was made from a piece of 1/8 inch black pipe and threaded with a 1/8-27 pipe
die. Thread 3 inches in from each end of the pipe.

2-32. SERVICING LANDINGGEAR. Very little service is required for the landing gear system except for
routine inspection. Check main gear legs for security, misalignment or bending. Check tail wheel gear for
security, misalignment and bending. Check operation of tail wheel assembly and condition of chains and
spring that connect the rudder and tail wheel assembly. Additional service information may be found in
Section VII. Inspection intervals of the various landing gear components are found in Section III.
2-33. PROPELLER.
2-34. SERVICING PROPELLER. The spinner, back plate and propeller surfaces should be cleaned and
inspected frequently for nicks, scratches, corrosion and cracks. Minor nicks and scratches may be removed
as found in Section III,.The aft face of each blade should be painted when necessary with a flat black paint
to retard glare. To prevent corrosion wipe surfaces with a light oil or wax.
In addition the propeller should be inspected for grease or oil leakageand freedom of rotation on the
hub pilot tube. To check freedom of rotation, rock the blade back and forth through the slight freedom
allowed by the pitch change mechanism. Lubricate the propeller at 100-hour intervals in accordance with
the Lubrication Chart (Figure 2-9).
Additional service information for the propeller may be found in Section VIII. Inspection intervals
and procedures are found in Section III.
2-35. ELECTRICALSYSTEM.
2-36. SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Servicing the electrical system involves maintaining the
battery as described in Paragraph 2-37. The security of all electrical connections should be checked as well
as the operation of all lights and general condition of alternator and starter. All electrical wires should be
inspected for chafing and bare wires. For detailed information on this system, refer to Section XI of this
manual.

2-37. SERVICING BATTERY. Battery servicing involves adding distilled water to the battery to maintain
correct electrolyte level, which should be even with the split ring at the bottom of the filler holes, checking
cable connections, and neutralizing and cleaning off any spilled electrolyte or corrosion. Use a solution of
baking soda and water to neutralize electrolyte or corrosion; then flush thoroughly with clean water.
CAUTION
Clean cable and terminal connections with a wire brush and coat with petroleum jelly prior to reconnecting.
Check the battery every 50 hours or 30 days whichever comes first. If weather is hot check more often.
Add only distilled water to the battery to maintain electrolyte level. Inspect the battery box and clean and
remove any evidence of corrosion.
SUPPLIER BRANDNAME
2-41a. ENGINE PRE-START PROCEDURE. This procedure should be accomplished prior to engine
restart at any time the engine oil, oil filter and/or oil cooler has been drained or changed, or after an engine
change, engine oil pump change, or prolonged period without oil in the system.
a. Remove the lower set of spark plugs.
b. Ascertain that 12 U.S. quarts of engine oil have been added to the engine sump if the system was
completely drained.
c. Position the mixture control in IDLE CUT-OFF and magneto switches OFF; then crank the
engine over with the starter.
d. Crank the engine for 30 seconds and stop for at least one minute; then repeat this procedure at
least four times until the oil pressure gaugeindicates a stabilized pressure reading.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the 30-second cranking period and be sure to allow
at least one minute starter cool down time between each cranking
period.
If no oil pressure is indicated after four cranking periods, it could be due to loss of prime in the
engine oil pump. This condition would be unusual during a normal oil change, but if it occurs follow
instructions givenin note below.
NOTE
Before installing a new oil filter, insure that the correct type is
being used. This is accomplished with the oil filter removed and
visually checking the oil filter adapter for the bypass valve.
Adapters which have the bypass valve installed may use either the
Black (Continental P/N 632399) or Gold (Continental P/N
641584) filters. Adapters which do not have the bypass valve
installed must use the Gold (Continental P/N 641584) type filter
only. The gold filter has the bypass valve designed into it.

over torque.
e. Perform the Engine Pre-Start Procedure as outlined in Paragraph 241a.
Brakes MIL-H-5606
NOTE
Lubricate engine fittings only with the fluid contained in the particular lines.
244. SPECTROMETRICOIL ANALYSIS. The use of spectrometric oil analysis is becoming widespread
in the general aviation field. It is another useful procedure in the maintenance of modern reciprocating
aircraft engines. The spectrometric method requires complete understanding of the procedures, schedules,
and interpretation by the maintenance personnel using this system. It must be remembered that the oil
analysis technique is not a replacement for other established maintenance checks, such as differential
cylinder pressure checks, boroscopic examination, and filter content inspection. The oil analysis is used to
estimate wear ratio values of the particular engine or enginesbeing monitored.
245. LUBRICATION(AIRFRAME).
2-47. APPLICATION OF OIL. Whenever specific instructions for lubrication of mechanisms requiring
lubrication are not available, observe the following precautions:
a. Apply oil sparingly, never more than enough to coat the bearing surfaces.
b. Since the control cables are sufficiently coated by the manufacturer, additional protection for
the prevention of corrosion is unnecessary.
c. Examine magneto cam follower felts for proper lubrication by squeezing with finger and
observing if any oil appears on finger. If oil has migrated from one follower felt to another, it may be
necessary to remove lubrication from one felt strip while oiling another. If felt is over lubricated, remove oil
by using a clean, lintless cloth. If dry, lubricate by applying one or two drops of Bendix Breaker Felt
Lubricant, refer to Power Plant Sections for specific lubricant.
CAUTION
Be careful not to add too much oil, because the excess will be
thrown off during operation and will cause pitting and burning of
the magneto points.
2-48. APPLICATION OF GREASE. Care must be taken when lubricating bearings and bearing surfaces
with a grease gun, to insure that the gun is filled with new, clean grease of the grade specified for the
particular application before applying lubricant to the grease fittings.
a. Where a reservoir is not provided around a bearing, apply the lubricant sparingly and wipe off any
excess.
b. Remove wheel bearings from the wheel hub and clean thoroughly with a suitable solvent. When
repacking with grease, be sure the lubricant enters the space between the rollers in the retainer ring. Do not
pack the grease into the wheel hub.
c. Use extra care when greasing the constant speed propeller hub to avoid blowing the clamp
gaskets. Remove one grease fitting and apply grease to the other fitting until fresh grease appears at the hole
of the removed fitting. Replace removed fitting.
2-49. LUBRICATION CHART. Each part of the airplane to be lubricated, as depicted on the Lubrication
Chart, is indicated by a frequency symbol which shows the time intervals between lubrications. Application
symbols with the frequency symbols show how the lubrication is applied. A parts nomenclature key.
referred to by a number adjacent to the frequency symbol, identifies the part to be lubricated. Within the
frequency symbol is a code leter which identifies the type of lubricant to be used and a special instructions
number which gives instructions for lubricating a particular component.
2-49a. LUBRICATION (HYDRAULIC SPRAY SYSTEM). Care must be taken when adding hydraulic
fluid. This is an enclosed system and the only source of potential contamination is on assembly and subsequent
addition of hydraulic fluid. Add fluid to hydraulic reservoir as required to "FULL" mark on filler cap.
Included in this system is a hydraulic oil filter which should be replaced every 600 hours or end of each
season, whichever occurs first. (Refer to Chapter 14 for additional information.)
2-50. CLEANING.
2-51. GENERAL. It is very important to keep the aircraft as clean as possible at all times. A clean airplane
always has a trim appearance. Cleaning reduces the possibility of corrosion of the structure and related
parts and makes inspection and maintenance much easier. A clean engine and cowling interior insures a
cooler running engine and reduces the possibility of engine compartment fire. A clean chassisinsures proper
operation of wheels and brakes, and clean windows, windshield, and cockpit interior make it much easier
for the pilot to do his duties.
2-52. CLEANINGENGINE COMPARTMENT.
a. Remove engine cowlingper Paragraph 8-5 and clean per Paragraph 8-6.
b. Place a strip of tape on the magneto vents and cover all engine openings to prevent the cleaning
solvent from entering.
c. Spray or brush the solvent or a mixture of solvent and degreaser over the entire engine.

2-55. CLEANING PRECAUTIONS. Most pilots, operators, and other personnel concerned with aerial
application of dry or liquid chemicals should be thoroughly familiar with precautionary measures applying
to washing. Washingthe aircraft is especiallyhazardous, as it tends to reactivate materials which have dried
on the aircraft surfaces and put them into liquid form. The following information is provided especially for
maintenance personnel who are required to perform work on agricultural aircraft and are unfamiliar with
the dangers that may arise:
a. Most agricultural chemicals are toxic. Some chemicals are highly toxic and may be fatal if
exposure is prolonged or concentrated, or medical treatment is delayed.
b. Chemical poisoning can occur by inhalation into the lungs, ingestion through the mouth, or
absorption through the skin. It is to the advantage of the individual to know exactly what chemical was last
used in the system. Information about the chemical may then be obtained from a county agent, chemical
manufacturer, or the container the chemical was shipped in prior to use, such as a bag, box, drum, etc.
c. Wear rubber gloves, rubber boots and protective clothing that is in good condition; a cap should
also be worn. In close areas a respirator or similar breathing device should be used. If coveralls are worn
instead of rubber clothing, they should be changed daily or more frequently if contamination is obvious.
Contaminated clothing should only be handled and laundered by someone aware of the hazard in handling.
d. Be sure to have a convenient place, close by, having a good supply of fresh water and plenty of
soap. Wash often and avoid scratching or placing hands near eyes, nose, ears, or mouth. Shower at least
once a day.
e. Do not carry cigarettes in a pocket, since they can absorb toxic materials. Do not eat or smoke in
the work area while washing procedure is going on.
f. Wash the airplane thoroughly, especially in the area where work is to be performed. DO NOT
steam clean since the steam will vaporize the chemical and make it easier to be inhaled or absorbed.
Drainage of the wash water must be into an area where no poisoning could occur.
2-56. EXTERIOR CLEANING. The airplane should be washed with a mild soap and water. Harsh
abrasives or detergents used on painted or plastic surfaces could make scratches or cause corrosion of metal
surfaces. Plug and cover any areas that cleaningsolution may enter or damage such as engine compartment,
pitot and static system, etc. To wash airplane the following procedure may be used:
a. Flush away loose dirt and dust with water.
b. Apply cleaning solution with a rag, sponge or soft bristle brush.
c. To remove stubborn oil or grease, use a cloth dampened with kerosene or naphtha.
d. Where exhaust stains occur, allow cleaningsolution to remain longer.
e. Flush aircraft with clean water.
f. A fine grade rubbing compound may be used to remove bugs and gasoline stains.
g. Any good automotive wax may be used to preserve the painted surfaces. A soft cleaning cloth
should be used to prevent scratches. A heavier coating of wax on the leading surfaces will reduce the
abrasion problems in these areas.
h. Refer to Figure 2-9 Lubrication Chart for lubricating required areas after cleaning.
1C12
PAWNEEBRAVESERVICEMANUAL
e. After the interior has been hosed down, it should be washed by hand with a sponge or soft cloth,
using a mixture of warm water and soap.
f. Rinse the aircraft with hose water to flush away soapy water.
g. Thoroughly inspect any area suspected of having any remaining residue and if found; repeat Steps
c and d.
h. Allow aircraft to dry for a reasonable period; then lubricate required areas referring to Figure 2-9,
then close doors, remove plugs and covers, install access panels and install pilot's seat.
2-58. CLEANING WHEELS. The landing gear and wheels should be washed frequently and examined for
cracks or dents in the wheel casting, chipped paint, and corrosion in small tight corners. Clean, sand,
smooth, prime, and repaint minor affected areas. Lubricate required areas referring to Figure 2-9.
2-59. REPAINTING. If it becomes necessary or desirable to repaint the aircraft, the following procedures
will apply:
a. Wash the area thoroughly that is to be painted. It is not necessary to strip the previous coating,
unless it is desirable for inspection purposes. If stripping is necessary, use an appropriate stripper.
a. Thoroughly clean all contaminents from surface - solvent wash with industrial grade MEK or
Titanine Ti-Two Cleaning Thinner.
b. Apply either Epoxy Primer/Converter, or Polytane Urethane Primer.
c. Topcoat with Polytane Enamel.
NOTE
NOTE
b. Allow to dry overnight before sanding and recoating with Polytane Enamel.
NOTE
Pot life of mixed material is 8 hours at 75° F. Allow Polytane
Enamel to dry 10 hours minimum before taping. The universal
mixing ratio of all colors makes it possible to intermix any
combination of POLYTANE colors before catalyzing mixture. This
is an aid to those wishing to mxi their own special colors. For

2-63. STORAGEOF AIRCRAFT. (CONTINENTALENGINE ONLY)
NOTE
Paragraphs 2-64 thru 2-66 pertain to Continental enginesonly.
(PA-36-285 Only)
2. If at the end of thirty days the aircraft will not be removed from storage, the engine must be
started and run. The preferred method will be to fly the aircraft for thirty minutes. If flying is impractical,
a ground run shall be made of thirty minute duration, and up to but not exceeding normal oil and cylinder
temperatures.
c. Returning Aircraft To Service:
1. Remove protective covers and perform a thorough preflight inspection.
2. Drain the MIL-C-6529oil after a ground warm-up, and change oil filter element.
3. Reservice with oil as listed in Table II-VII.
2-65. TEMPORARY STORAGE (UP TO 90 DAYS). Temporary storage is defined as a maximum of 90
days non-operational storage. If at all possible, a dry hangar should be procured due to the possibility of
oxidation of the aluminum if damp conditions persist. This metal will last indefinitely if kept clean and
under normal conditions. The followingmethods of preparation are suggested:
a. Preparation For Storage:
1. Fill fuel tanks with proper fuel.
2. Thoroughly clean entire aircraft then wax the exterior finish.
3. Jack the aircraft just enough to relieve the load on the landing gear and prevent flat spots
from forming on the tires. If this is impractical, the wheels should be rotated every 30 days.
4. Lubricate all airframe items and seal or cover all openings that would allow moisture and/or
foreign material to enter as describedin Paragraph 2-64 a., No. 4.
5. Remove the battery and store in a cool dry place. Serviceregularly as required.
6. Remove the top and bottom spark plugs and atomize spray preservative oil, (Lubrication Oil -

(approximately 2 ounces) through the oil filler tube.
10. Seal all engine openings exposed to the atmosphere using suitable plugs or non-hygroscopic
tape, and attach red streamersat each point.
11. Engines, with propellers installed, that are preserved for storage in accordance with this
section should have a tag affixed to the propeller in a conspicuous place with the followingnotation on the
tag: "DO NOT TURN PROPELLER- ENGINEPRESERVED."
2-66. INDEFINITE STORAGE. Indefinite storage is described as non-operational storage exceeding three
months, up to six months. Engines treated per the following method may be considered protected against
normal atmosphere corrosion, provided the procedures outlined are performed at the specific intervals
indicated, using the specified oils:
a. Preparation For Storage:
1. Drain 3 quarts of engine lubricating oil from the engine crankcase and add 3 quarts of
corrosion-preventivemixture compound, MIL-C-6529C,Type I (Esso Rust Ban 628, Cosmoline No. 1223
or equivalent) to the engine crankcase.
NOTE
This mixture consists of one part compound, MIL-C-6529,Type I
mixed with three parts of new lubricating oil, of the grade
recommended for service (all at room temperature), which now
givesyou MIL-C-6529,Type II corrosion-preventivemixture.

3-8. INSPECTIONOF EXHAUST SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure 3-1.) The entire exhaust system, including
heat exchange shroud, stacks and all exhaust connections must be rigidly inspected at each 100 hour
inspection. The possibility of exhaust system failure increases with use. It is recommended that the system
be checked more carefully as the number of hours increase, therefore inspection at the 700 hour period,
that the exhaust system has been in use, would be more critical than one in the 100 hour period. The
system should also be checked carefully before winter operation when the cabin heat will be in use.
Remove the heat shroud located on the crossover pipe at the front of the engine. This is done by
removingthe clamps at either end of the shroud. Remove bolt from hanger at right front of engine. Remove
the three bolts from the hanger clamp at the aft end of the muffler assembly. Remove the bolts joining the
muffler and exhaust stack. With this done remove the muffler and heater shroud as an assembly. With this
assembly off slip the heater shroud off the exhaust pipe. Perform the necessary cleaning operations and
inspect all external surfaces, pay particular attention to welds and support attachment lugs, stack flanges
and gaskets. Any cracks or severeoxidation are cause for replacement of stacks.
Conduct a ground test using a carbon monoxide indicator by heading the airplane into the wind,
warming the engine on the ground, advancing the throttle to full static RPM with cabin heat valve open,
and taking reading of the heated airstream at the cabin outlet. Appropriate sampling procedures applicable
to the carbon monoxide indicator must be followed. If carbon monoxide concentration exceeds .005
percent, or if a dangerous reading is obtained on an indicator not calibrated in percentages, the stack must
be replaced.

4-39. WINDOWS.
4-42. REPAIR OF WINDOWS. Window panels that are extensively damaged should be replaced. However,
certain repairs may be made successfully without removing the window from the aircraft. There are three types
of temporary repairs that may be used for cracked plastics. Curved areas are more difficult to repair than flat
areas, and repair should not be attempted where it would be likely to affect the pilot’s field of vision. Any
repaired area is both structurally and optically inferior to the original surface.
4-43. SCRATCHES. Scratches on the surface of a window may be removed by hand sanding followed by
buffing and polishing carefully. Proceed as follows:
a. Using a piece of 320 or finer sandpaper or abrasive cloth wrapped around a wooden block, rub
lightly the area around the scratch with a circular motion, keeping the area constantly wet with
clean water to prevent further scratching and to wash away the waste. Work over a large enough
area to prevent formation of optical distortions.
b. Continue sanding using progressively finer grade abrasives until scratches finally disappear; then
wash the area thoroughly with clean water to remove all grit. The entire sanded area will appear
cloudy.
c. Apply fresh tallow or buffing compound to an electric buffer and move it constantly over the
damaged area until the cloudiness disappears. A 750 RPM polishing machine with a 10-inch
buffing wheel will apply the 2000 foot-per-minute surface speed recommended to prevent
overheating causing softening of the surface and distortion. Polishing may also be done by hand
but requires a considerable amount of time compared to a buffing wheel.
d. When buffing is completed, wash area thoroughly and dry with a soft flannel cloth. Inspect area to
determine if full transparency has been restored. Apply a thin coat of hard wax and polish surface
lightly with a clean flannel cloth.
NOTE
The plastic surface should not be rubbed unnecessarily with a dry
cloth since it will build up an electrostatic charge which attracts
dirt particles and may eventually lead to scratching of the surface.
After wax has hardened, dissipate any charge by lightly rubbing
surface with a slightly damp chamois.
e. If no great number of scratches is evident, after washing, small hairline scratches can often be
removed by rubbing with a commercial automobile body cleaner or polishing compound. Finish by
applying a good commercial wax in a thin even coat and bring to a high polish by lightly rubbing with a soft
cloth.
f. Consult FAA AC43.13-1, Chapter 9 for further information.
4-44. CRACKS. There are several temporary methods of repairing plastic windows as long as the repair is
not in the pilot's line of vision during landing and normal flight.
a. When a crack develops, a hole should be drilled at the end of the crack to prevent further
spreading by distributing the strain over a large area. The hole should be approximately 1/8 inch in
diameter, depending on length of crack and thickness of material.
b. A temporary repair for a flat surface may be made by sandwiching the damaged area between
two thin strips of wood, using sheet rubber or aircraft fabric as a cushion between the wood and plastic,
then inserting small bolts through the wood and plastic.
c. A temporary repair may be made to a curved surface by placing fabric patches over the damaged
area and securing with aircraft nitrate dope, lacquer or lacquer thinner.
d. Consult FAA, AC 43.13-1 for further approved methods of repair.
4-45. CLEANINGAND WAXINGWINDOWS.
a. Refer to Section II for cleaning of windows.
b. Waxing of the clear plastic windows will fill in hairline scratches and help protect the window
surface from further abrasion. A good grade of commercial wax is suitable for this purpose. Apply the wax
in a thin even coat; then bring to a high gloss by rubbing lightly with a clean dry cloth. After wax has
hardened, dissipate any electrostatic charge that may have built up by rubbing lightly with a slightly damp
chamois.
4-46. CABIN DOORS.
4-47. REMOVAL OF CABIN DOORS. (Refer to Figure 4-6.) The cabin doors may be removed by
opening the door and pulling the emergency release handle while holding the door.
4-48. INSTALLATION OF CABIN DOORS. (Refer to Figure 4-6.) Lubricate the hingepins in accordance
with lubrication chart, then set the hinge pins so that the tapered end of the pin is flush with the end of the
hinge where the pins are installed; then set door in place, align hinges and press the hinge pins into the
hinges on the door until a detent is felt. Set the emergency release handle back in its mounting clips.

regulations set forth in FAA Advisory Circular 43-13-1A. To assist in making repairs and/or replacements,
Figure 4-8 identifies the type and thickness of various skin material used.
WARNING
Never make a skin replacement or patch plate from material other than the type of the original skin, or of a
different thickness than the original skin. The repair must be as strong as the original skin. However, flexibility
must be retained so the surrounding areas will not receive extra stress.
4-60. FIBERGLAS REPAIRS. The repair procedure in this manual will describe the methods for repair of
Fiberglas Reinforced Structures, Fiberglas Touch-Up and Surface Repairs such as blisters, open seams,
delamination, cavities, small holes and minor damages that have not harmed the fiberglas cloth material,
Fiberglas Fracture and Patch Repairs as puncture, breaks and holes that have penetrated through the
structure and damaged the fiberglas cloth. A repair kit, part number 756 729 will furnish necessary material for
such repairs, and is available through Piper Aircraft Dealers.
NOTE
Very carefully follow resin and catalyst mixing instructions
furnished with repair kit.
and
f. Allow the-gel to cure 10 to 15 minutes until it feels rubbery to the touch. Remove the cellophane
trim flush with the surface, using a sharp razor blade or knife. Replace the cellophane and allow to cure
completely for 30 minutes to an hour. The patch will shrink slightly below the structure surface as it cures. (If
wax paper is used, ascertain wax is removed from surface.)
g. Rough up the bottom and edges of the hole with the electric burr attachment or rough sandpaper.
Feather hole into surrounding gel coat, do not undercut.
h. Pour out a small amount of resin, add catalyst and mix thoroughly, using a cutting motion rather
than stirring. Use no fibers.
i. Using the tip of a putty knife or fingertips, fill the hole to about 1/16 inch above the surrounding
surface with the gel coat mixture.
j. Lay a piece of cellophane over the patch to start the curing process. Repeat Step f, trimming patch
when partially cured.
k. After trimming the patch, immediately place another small amount of gel coat on cut edge of the
patch and cover with cellophane. Then, using a squeegee or the back of a razor blade, squeegee level with area
surrounding the patch, leave the cellophane on patch for one or two hours or overnight, for complete cure.
1. After repair has cured for 24 hours, sand the patched area using a sanding block with fine wet
sandpaper. Finish by priming, again sanding and applying color coat.

5-1. INTRODUCTION. This section contains the procedures for the removal, installation, and riggingand
adjustment procedures for the components that activate the various control surfaces on the aircraft. For the
removal and installation procedures of the control surfaces, refer to Section IV. The components need not
be removed in order of paragraph since each paragraph describes the individual removal and installation of
the components in that system. The following tips may be helpful in the removal and installation of the
various assemblies:
a. It is recommended, though not always necessary, to level and place the airplane on jacks during
rigging and adjustment, especiallywhen using a bubble protractor or level.
b. Tie a cord to the cable end before drawing the cable through the wing structure to facilitate
reinstallation.
c. When turnbuckles have been set to correct tension, no more than three threads should be
exposed from either end of the turnbuckle barrel.
d. Wheninstalling rod end jam nuts refer to Figure 5-7a for proper installation method.
5-2. DESCRIPTION. The Pawnee Braveis controlled in flight by the use of three standard primary control
surfaces, consisting of ailerons, elevator and rudder. Operation of these controls is through the movement
of the control stick and rudder pedals. The ailerons are operated by a system of bellcranks, cables and push
rods controlled by the centrally mounted stick. As the stick is moved from side to side, push-pull rods,
connected to the control stick torque tube, move two cable interconnected bellcranks in each wing and
actuate push-pull rods that move the ailerons.
The elevator is operated by a series of push-pullrods connected from the bottom of the control stick,
below its pivot point, back to the elevator horn. As the stick is moved fore and aft, the push-pull rods move
the elevator horn fore and aft, thus rotating the elevator on its hinges.
The rudder control system consists of individual rudder pedal assemblies, return springs, cables and
pulleys. A cable is connected to each rudder pedal and routed aft through the bottom of the fuselageto the
rudder horn. When one rudder pedal is pushed, the cables move in opposite directions turning the rudder
horn and rudder. The rudder pedals are adjustable fore and aft.
The flap control system consists of an electric motor driven screw jack assembly, torque tube,
push-pull rods and limit switches. When the flap switch in the cockpit is actuated, a small electric motor
operates a screw jack connected to a bellcrank on the flap torque tube. As the screwjack rotates the torque
tube, bellcranks on each end actuate push-pull rods that move the flaps. The flap motor is automatically
shut off when the flaps reach full up or full down position by means of a tab on the torque tube that
contacts one of two limit switches. The flaps are interconnecting and may be positioned anywhere through
their travel. A cable operated flap position indicator is located on the console to the left of the pilot.
Longitudinal trim control is provided by an adjustable trim mechanism for the elevator trim tab. The
elevator trim is controlled by a wheel and drum mounted on the panel behind and to the left of the pilot's
seat. Cables routed aft from the drum to the tail operate a screw and yoke assembly. As the screw is turned
the yoke moves fore or aft, actuating two push-pull rods that move each trim tab. The trim tab position
indicator is located to the right of the trim wheel.
c. Loosen the two turnbuckles ( 1) in each wing at the outboard bellcranKs; tnen disconnect the cables
(9 and 10) from the bellcranks and remove cables from the wing.
d. Remove the bolt (8), and remove the inboard bellcrank assembly (4) from the wing.
e. Remove the bolt (13), and remove the outboard bellcrank assembly (17) from the wing.

g. The torque tube end bearingsmay be pushed out with a bearing remover.
h. The flap limit switches (15) may be removed by marking and disconnecting the wires and then
removing the jam nuts thus releasing the switch assemblies.
If flap limit switches have been removed, the motor will not stop
when actuating mechanism reaches its full up or down travel,
therefore the motor must be shut off at the cockpit switch.
e. With the flaps still disconnected from the actuator, ascertain that the flaps will fall freely from
the UP position to the DOWNposition to insure minimum operating friction. Then connect the flaps to the
actuating system by attaching the push-pull rods (12) to the torque tube bellcranks.

NOTE
The shielded ignition system incorporates a magneto containing components of two magnetos within
one unit and furnishes "shower of sparks" for easy all-weather starting.
The starter is right angle mounted on the left front side of the engine crankcase and incorporates an
efficient clutch-springarrangement to reduce wear.
A 24-volt, 60-amp alternator located on the left front side of the engine crankcase just above the
starter motor, is belt driven directly from the crankshaft. The alternator provides battery chargingcurrent
at speeds as low as 1000 RPM.
The induction system consists of an aft baffle mounted intake incorporating a polyfoam or paper filter
and an alternate air source.
The exhaust system is of stainless steel and directs gases from each cylinder through a muffler on the
right side of the engineand then outboard over the right wing.
The propeller on the PA-36 is either a Hartzell HC-C2YF-1BF/F9587Aor HC-C3YF-1RF/F9684-1,
constant speed unit. The constant speed propeller utilizes oil pressure from the propeller governor to move
the blades into high pitch (reduced RPM). The centrifugal twisting moment of the blades tend to move
them into low pitch (high RPM) in the absence of governor oil pressure.
For further information of more detail concerning the various components and systems that make up
this section, refer to the appropriate paragraph in this section that deals with the component.

8-14. DESCRIPTION. The propeller governor is located at the rear of the engine at top right side of the
accessory housing. The governor is a single acting, centrifugal type pump, which boosts the engine oil
pressure and directs it to the propeller, where the oil is used to increase blade pitch (decrease RPM). A
single acting governor uses oil pressure to effect a pitch change in one direction only; a pitch change in the
opposite direction results from a combination of centrifugal twisting moment of rotating blades and
compressed springs. A pilot valve, fly weightand speeder spring act together to open and close governor oil
passagesas required to maintain a constant engine speed.

NOTE
8-28. LEAK TEST. After every 50 hours of engine operation, all the flexible fluid hoses in the engine
compartment should be inspected and checked for leaks by examining the hose for leakage especiallynear
end fittings. Refer to Paragraph 8-24, c for specific defects. If hoses are found to be leaking or defective
they must be replaced.
8-29. REPLACEMENT. When replacing a hose, make sure the hose is not twisted after installing or failure
may result under usage. Do not bend a new hose sharply. Provide a large bend radius for a hose. Hoses will
take a permanent set after a period of time and care should be taken when removing a hose that is to be
reused so as not to straighten or bend it any other way. When the hose is reinstalled it should be returned to
its original position. When replacinga hose, the new one should be clamped, with an approved clamp, at the
same points where the original hose was clamped. Refer to AC 43.13-1A, Chapter 10 for approved handling
and installation procedures for flexible fluid hose assemblies.
8-31. DESCRIPTION OF BAFFLES. The baffles are aluminum assemblies with rubber asbestos strips
stapled to the edges that are closest to the engine cowling. The rubber closes up the gap between the cowl
and baffles and provides a nearly airtight seal to confine and direct the flow of air to the critical areas and
to exhaust it at the lower rear opening of the engine cowling. The rubber seals on the vertical baffles must
bend forward and the seals on the side or horizontal baffles must fold upward to be of full benefit. It is
very important that the baffles are in good condition, installed properly, and seal properly.
8-32. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONOF ENGINE BAFFLES. Removal and installation of the engine
baffle sections can be accomplished with the engine cowling removed. The cowling attachments are
standard machine screws and related hardware.
8-33. CLEANING AND INSPECTIONAND REPAIR OF BAFFLES. The engine baffles should be cleaned
with a suitable solvent (Stoddard or equivalent) and flushed thoroughly. Do not soak rubber seals in solvent
for any long periods. Inspect baffles for cracks in the metal and torn or loose seal strips. Baffle segments
should be replaced if damaged or cracked; however, small plate reinforcement patches riveted to the baffle
skin will restore the baffle to its original strength.
8-34. ENGINE MOUNT. The engine mount is a bed type mount, constructed with sections of 4130 steel
tubing, welded together. The mount has four circular steel pads that hold the rubber shock mounts, which
mate with the engine mount bosses on the crankshaft, and provide dampening of engine vibration.
Do not clean or soak. rubber pads (27 and 28) in any type of
cleaning solvent as premature deteriorization may occur. Insure
that drain holes in heat shields (26) are open to prevent
accumulation of oil or solvent.

COOLER
8-40. DESCRIPTION. The oil supply is contained in a nine-quart wet oil sump which is bolted to the
bottom of the crankcase. A conventional dipstick is provided for measuring oil quantity. The dipstick and
filler tube assembly is located on the left rear side of the engine between Number 2 and Number 4
cylinders.
When the engine is running, oil is drawn through a screen and pickup tube, where it passes to the inlet
of the engine driven gear-type oil pump and is forced under pressure through the pump outlet. Incorporated
in the oil pump is a pressure regulating relief valve which prevents excessiveoil pressure by allowing excess
oil to be returned to the suction side of the pump. After leaving the pump, the oil enters a remote mounted
full-flow filter and is passed on to the remote mounted oil cooler. If the filter element becomes blocked, a
relief valve will open to bypass unfiltered oil to the cooler. An oil temperature control valveallows cold oil
to bypass the cooler passing it directly to the engine oil gallery. When a temperature of approximately
170°F is reached, the valvecloses to force all the oil through the oil cooler.
From the cooler the oil enters the crankcase where it is directed to the bearing surfaces, valvelifters,
VTC unit, and cylinders for lubrication and cooling. The propeller governor also uses the oil for propeller
blade pitch control.
The oil drains, by gravity,back into the sump where the process begins again.
8-41. TROUBLESHOOTING.Troubles peculiar to the engine lubrication system are listed in Table
VIII-III at the back of this section, along with their probable causes and suggested remedies.
Before installing a new oil filter, insure that the correct type is
being used. This is accomplished with the oil filter removed and
visually checking the oil filter adapter for the bypass valve.
Adapters which have the bypass valve installed may use either the
Black (Continental P/N 632399) or Gold (Continental P/N
641584) filters. Adapters which do not have the bypass valve
installed must use the Gold (Continental P/N 641584) type filter
only. The gold filter has the bypass designed into it.
c. Before installingthe new filter, lubricate the gasket on the filter with clean engine oil; then install
filter to the oil cooler bypass valveassembly.
d. Torque the filter 18-20 foot-pounds or 3/4 to 1 full turn after the gasket makes contact. Do not
over torque.
e. Perform the EnginePre-Start Procedure as outlined in Section II, Paragraph 2-41a.
8-43. OIL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTMENT. (Refer to Figure 8-8.) The oil pressure relief
valve is an adjustable valve located at the base of the oil pump in the lower left rear section of the engine.
the
To gain access to the relief valve adjustment, remove the screws from the oil line outlet cover-plate onjam
rear baffle and slide the cover-plateand seal back over the oil outlet line. To adjust the valve, loosen the
nut and turn the adjusting screw in to increase oil pressure, and out to decrease oil pressure. (Refer to

8-46. LOSS OF OIL PUMP PRIME. After an engine change, engine oil pump change, or prolonged period
without oil in the system, it is possible that the engine oil pump may not pick up oil from the sump at
engine cranking speed. To insure that the pump is primed for pre-start oiling, remove the accessory pad
cover on the oil pump and observe the small hole which is vented to the pump output chamber. Follow
procedure in Paragraph 2-41a, steps a, b, and c; crank the engine with the starter until oil squirts from the
hole (normally within 5 seconds). Replace the cover plate and proceed with steps d and e prior to starting
the engine.
848. DESCRIPTION. Ram air enters the induction air system through an oval opening in the right side of
the rear engine baffle, just behind Number 1 cylinder. The air first enters a round fiberglass housing that
contains a polyfoam air filter. The air then travels through an air box and a duct into the fuel-air control
unit mounted on top the engine. A pilot controlled alternate air door is incorporated in the induction air
box, and can be used if the filter should become clogged. This permits unfiltered air to be drawn from
within the engine compartment for induction use.
WARNING
The alternate air control is intended for emergency use only. The
filter should be replaced as soon as possible. The unfiltered air
from the alternate air system can destroy an engine in short order
under dusty or sandy conditions.

e. The filter housing may be disassembled by releasing the four wing head fasteners, thus revealing
the air filter element. The air box may be detached from the filter housing top half by removing four
screws.
c. Inspect the components for cracks and chafing, dents, loose rivets and attachment hardware, etc.
Minor cracks in the aluminum may be stop drilled and for fiberglass repair refer to Section IV. In case of
major cracks or severe damage, replace the part. Inspect gaskets and install new ones if the original one is
damaged. Check for ease of operation and proper fit and riggingof alternate air door.
8-51. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF AIR BOX AND FILTER HOUSING. (Refer to Figure
8-10.)
a. Attach the air filter housing to the air box with the primary air shutoff seat (not shown)
sandwiched between and the seating edge protruding into the air box. Use four screws and large washers,
and safety wire the screw heads together in pairs. Seal the outside perimeter of this joint with a bead of
Dow Silastic 732 RTV Sealant, Piper Code No. 913-320.
b. Install new filter element (unless old one is still clean) and assemble the two halves of the filter
housing and fasten with the four wing head fasteners.
c. Attach entire assembly to rear engine cowl using 10 screws for the filter housing and 4 for the air
box and connect the air box and long inlet duct by sliding the hose connector over the joint and clamping

8-73. IGNITION SYSTEM.
8-74. DESCRIPTION. During normal operation, high voltage to the spark plugs is produced by a "dual"
magneto incorporating two separate magnetos in a singlehousing, each of which fires one of the two spark
plugs in each cylinder. This dual ignition system servestwo purposes. As a safety feature, ignition will occur
even if one complete magneto system should fail. At cranking speeds, the normal magneto timing is too
advanced for smooth starting and the spark plug is too weak for proper ignition. Therefore, a special
starting circuit is provided which offers "shower of sparks" for easy all weather starting.
8-75. MAGNETO.
8-76. DESCRIPTIONAND PRINCIPLEOF OPERATION.
The D-2200 series magnetos feature two electrically independent ignition circuits in one housing. A
single four pole rotor provides the magnetic energy for both circuits. This magneto is designedto be used
with a starting vibrator unit. The magneto has two separate breaker cams. The lower cam operates the main
breakers for both magneto circuits. The upper cam operates the left magneto retard breaker. Suppressionof
radio interference is accomplishedby feed-through capacitors, which are mounted in the magneto cover and
form a part of the magneto harness assembly.
With the magneto switches ON and the starter switch depressed, the right side of the magneto is
grounded and rendered inoperative, while left side of the magneto (with retard breaker) continues to
function. At the slow cranking speed of the engine, the vibrator provides the high energy spark necessary to
fire the spark plugs. The vibrator provides interrupted battery current to the primary coil of the magneto.
The pulsating DC current is then stepped up by transformer action, producing a shower of sparks at the
plugs for improved starting. When the engine fires and begins to increase speed, the starter switch is
released, which in turn de-energizes the starter, and opens the vibrator circuit and retard breaker circuit,
thus rendering them inoperative. The right side of the magneto is no longer grounded and thus both
magneto sides are simultaneouslyfiring in full advance.

g. Check condition of cam follower felts for proper lubrication. If oil has migrated from one
follower felt to another, it may be necessary to remove the lubrication from one felt strip while oiling
another. If felt is over-lubricated, remove oil by using a clean, lintless cloth. If dry, apply one or two drops
of Bendix Breaker Felt Lubricant 10-86527.
h. Check the capacitors for looseness in the magneto cover of the harness assembly and for any
physical damage. Using a Bendix 11-1767-1, -2 or -3 condenser tester or equivalent, check capacitors for
capacitance, series resistanceand leakage. Capacitance shall be 0.34 to 0.41 microfarads.

the magneto shaft 1-1/2 times in the direction of rotation and check again to be sure the "K" is in the
window on the data plate side and the red distributor tooth appears in each distributor inspection window.
On early model dual magnetos four "N" marks appear on the rotor at each neutral. The proper timing
position may be found on these magnetos by aligning the "N" mark in the "E" gap inspection window
which directly corresponds to the shaft keyway position. To determine this, the magneto must be removed
°
from the engine and using a piece of safety wire or a paper clip with a short 90 bend on one end. Run the
hooked end of the wire around the magneto drive shaft at the rear of the drive coupling and find the
keyway slot. With this slot turned to the data plate side of the magneto housing, the "N" that appears in
the "E" gap inspection window is the proper mark for timing reference.
h. Install the magneto to engine gasket on the magneto flange.
i. Feel the magnet into its number one neutral position as described in Step g. With the engine in its
recommended number one cylinder firing position of 30 ° BTDC, place the magneto in position on the
engine mounting pad and secure with the flange clamps finger tight.
j. Install short adapter leads made from Bendix terminal kit (part number 10-382698) into magneto
switch terminals and connect to Bendix timing light (part number 1 1-91 10) or equivalent.
k. Bump the magneto in the direction opposite the normal shaft rotation until the first breaker
opens. Due to normal tolerances, one breaker may open slightly before the other and timing should be done
to the first or early breaker. Evenly tighten the magneto mounting clamps.
L. When the final timing check is done, back the engine up approximately 10 degrees; then carefully
bump the engine forward and observe the position that the breakers open. The first breaker should open at
the number one engine firing position and the late breaker must open within 3 engine degrees from the first
breaker opening. It makes no difference which breaker opens first.
m. Repeat Step k if necessary until conditions of Step 1 are met. If the late breaker opens more than
3 degrees from the early one, the internal timing of the magneto must be rechecked. (Refer to Internal
Timing, Paragraph 8-79.)
n. Torque the magneto securing clamps to 150 inch-pounds. Recheck timing once more and if
satisfactory disconnect the timing light and remove the adapter leads.
o. Reinstall the plugs in the timing inspection holes and torque to 12-15 inch-pounds. Loosely
install the harness with clamps and/or brackets. Reinstall the air pressure line to the adapter fitting at the
one end of the magneto housing.
NOTE
For future reference a small red dot may be painted over this
particular "N" mark on the rotor to indicate the keyway up
reference position needed for proper timing.
If, in future timing checks, the red teeth appear in the distributor inspection windows and the "dotted "N"
does not show up in the "E" gap inspection hole, simply turn the magneto shaft 1-1/2 turns (or the
propeller 2 turns) in the direction of rotation and the magneto will be in the proper timing position.

g. Position rotor so keyway is at 12 o'clock position and red painted distributor teeth are visible in
timing windows.
h. Loosen drive shaft nut and position the Rotor Holding Tool (Bendix part number 11-8465)
under washer or bushingon drive end of rotor shaft with clamp at 4 o'clock position so any shaft deflection
caused by clamping action will be in a plane parallel to breaker contacts. Tighten nut to secure holding tool
to shaft. Check to insure proper location of keyway and tighten adjusting screw of holding tool to lock
rotor in position.
i. Loosen rotor holding tool and turn magnet in direction of rotation until adjacent "R" or "L"
("E" gap) mark is aligned with pointer and lock in position. Both red painted teeth should be
approximately centered in timing windows.
NOTE
j. Connect the timing light black lead to any unpainted surface of the magneto.
k. Connect the red timing light lead to the left breaker terminal and the green lead to the right main
breaker terminal. (Refer to Figure 8-21.)
1. Loosen rotor holding tool and move the rotor back a few degrees; then move it forward. Both
lights should go out to indicate opening of the main breakers when the timing pointer is indicating within
the width of the "L" or "R" mark and the red painted teeth are centered in timing windows.
m. If breaker timing is not correct, loosen cam securing screw (refer to Figure 8-22a) and remove
retard cam; then unseat main breaker cam from taper. Using 11-3031 Retaining Ring Pliers inserted in holes
in cam, rotate main breaker cam in direction of rotation until left main breaker points just open and press
cam onto taper. Install retard cam washer and screw. Tighten screw to seat main breaker cam.
n. Loosen rotor holding tool to turn rotating magnet back a few degrees;then turn rotating magnet
in normal direction of rotation. Timing light should go out when timing pointer is aligned with "R" or "L"
("E" gap) mark. Lock rotating magnet in position where points just open.
o. Loosen right main breaker securing screwsand position breaker so cam follower is pressed against
cam with points closed. Tighten contact assembly securing screws to prevent contact assembly from
bouncing back when moved. Usinga small mallet and drift, tap right breaker in until points just open.
p. Turn rotating magnet back a few degrees; then turn rotating magnet in normal direction of
rotation. Both timing lights should go out within one degree or half the width of "R" or "L" mark on
rotor. If breakers are not properly synchronized, reset right breaker.
q. Check right main breaker contact for 0.016 ± .004 inch point opening and torque right breaker
contact securing screws to 20-25 inch-pounds. If point opening is out of limits, repeat timing procedure
setting left main breaker opening at .016 ± .002 inch. If right contacts open beyond .020 inch, set left
contacts closer to .018 inch. If right contacts open less than .012 inch, set left contacts closer to .014 inch.
r. Connect the 11-9110-1 timing lights to retard terminal on left contact assembly. Turn rotating
magnet in normal direction of rotation to retard angle of 19 degrees and lock in position. Carefully loosen
cam securing screw enough to allow retard cam to turn. Turn cam in normal direction of rotation until
retard breaker points just open. Torque cam securingscrew 16-20 inch-pounds.
s. Using timing light, recheck timing to insure main breakers open within one-half the width of "R"
or "L" mark and that retard breaker opens at correct degree setting. Using a wire feeler gauge,check left
main breaker for .016 ± .002 inch point opening and right main breaker and retard breaker for .016 ± .004
inch point opening.
NOTE
t. Check capacitors for loosenessin the magneto cover of the harness assemblyand for any physical
damage. The capacitors should be checked for capacitance, series resistance and leakage. Capacitance should
be 0.34 to 0.41 microfarads. The use of a Bendix condenser tester, part number 11-1767-1, -2 or -3 or
equivalent will simplify this test. Replace defective capacitors and torque securing nut to 60-70
inch-pounds.

8-82. MAINTENANCEOF HARNESS. Minor repairs of the harness assembly, such as replacement of
contact springs, sleeves,compression springs, eyelets, or grommets, can be accomplished with the harness
mounted on the engine. Lead assemblies may also be replaced with harness mounted on the engine unless
inaccessibilityof installation or number of leads to be replaced makes it unreasonable.
To replace grommets or eyelets, pull the conductor through the shielding sufficiently to make eyelet
accessible. Remove the eyelet being careful not to damage conductor wire. Replace grommet and eyelet
using the "AB" groove of Crimping Tool No. 11-4152 or a pair of diagonal pliers modified as shown in
Figure 8-24. Work the wire back into the shielding so the grommet fits properly against the ferrules in the

NOTE
b. Remove the spark plug from the engine. In the course of engine operation, carbon and other
combustion products will be deposited on the end of the spark plug and will penetrate the lower threads to
some degree. As a result, greater torque is frequently required for removing a plug than for its installation.
Accordingly, the torque limitations given do not apply to plug removal and sufficient torque must be used
to unscrew the plug. The higher torque in removal is not as detrimental as in installation, since it cannot
stretch the threaded section. It does, however, impose a shearing load on this section and may, if
sufficiently severe, produce a failure in this location.
c. Place spark plugs in a tray that will identify their position in the engine as soon as they are
removed.
NOTE
d. Removal of seized spark plugs from the cylinder may be accomplished by application of liquid
carbon dioxide by a conical metal funnel adapter with a hole at the apex just large enough to accommodate
the funnel of a CO2 bottle. (Refer to Figure 8-34.) Whena seized spark plug cannot be removed by normal
means, the funnel adapter is placed over and around the spark plug. Place the funnel of the CO2 bottle
inside the funnel adapter and release the carbon dioxide to chill and contract the spark plug. Break the
spark plug loose with a wrench. A warm cylinder head at the time the carbon dioxide is applied willaid in
the removal of an excessivelyseized plug.
e. Do not allow foreign objects to enter the spark plug hole.
8-86. INSTALLATIONOF SPARKPLUGS. Before installing spark plugs, ascertain that the threads within
the cylinder are clean and not damaged.
a. Apply anti-seize compound sparingly on the threads and install gasket and spark plugs. Torque
300 to 360 inch-pounds.
CAUTION
Make certain the deep socket is properly seated on the spark plug
hexagon as damage to the plug could result if the wrench is cocked
to one side when pressure is applied.
b. Carefully insert the terminal insulator in the spark plug and tighten the coupling nut.
8-87. STARTINGVIBRATOR.
8-88. STARTINGVIBRATORCHECKINGPROCEDURE.
a. Disconnect all spark plug leads from the left magneto at the spark plugs.
WARNING
Be sure all magneto spark plug leads are removed, thus preventing
the hazardous condition of plug firing during test.
b. Rotate engine crankshaft until No. 1 cylinder is in its retard firing position. Using the timing
light, check to see that the retard contact assemblyand both magneto main contact assemblies are open.
c. Electrically disconnect starter solenoid or remove battery cable from starter so that the engine
will NOT crank during this test.

d. Place the magneto switch in its "ON" position and actuate the starter switch. At the same time
observe the No. 1 cylinder spark plug lead which is fired by the left magneto circuit. A series of sparks
should be seen when holding the lead approximately .19 of an inch from engine ground.
WARNING
Grasp the spark plug lead far enough away from the connection so
as not to produce any dangerous electrical shock.
e. If the spark does not jump the gap, check the applied voltage to the starting vibrator. This voltage
should be 24 volts.
f. If voltage is correct, check the contact points of the magneto. Both sets of contact points must
be opened.
g. Reject all units not complying with the preceding requirements or which show any visual defects.

8A-1. INTRODUCTION.This section covers the Lycoming power plant used in the PA-36-300 aircraft,
and is comprised of Description, Removal and Installation instructions, Corrective Maintenance,
Adjustments and Troubleshooting for the power plant and its associated components.
For further instructions and for major repairs, consult the appropriate publications of the engine or
component manufacturer.
8A-2. DESCRIPTION. The PA-36-300 is powered by an Avco-Lycoming IO-540-K1G5 fuel injected,
normal aspirated, horizontally opposed, air cooled, six-cylinder, direct drive, wet sump aircraft engine rated
at 300 horsepower. The engine is furnished with a starter, 70-ampere, 28-volt alternator, shielded ignition
system, fuel pump and fuel injector.
The induction system consists of a cowl mounted airbox incorporating dual paper type filter elements.
In the event of an air stoppage through the filters an alternate air source can be opened by the use of a
control handle in the cockpit.
The exhaust system is of stainless steel and directs exhaust gases from cylinders on each side of the
engine into separate runner type collectors. The collector tailpipes turn outboard and eject the exhaust over
the wing on both sides of the aircraft.
The propeller is a Hartzell HC-C2YK-1( )F/F8475R-O constant speed unit, utilizing oil pressure
from the propeller governor to move the blades into high pitch. The centrifugal twisting moment of the
blades tend to move them into low pitch, in the absence of governor oil pressure.
8A-3. ENGINE COWLING.
8A-4. DESCRIPTION. The cowling completely encloses the engine and consists of a reinforced plastic
lower nose and bottom section, a reinforced plastic upper nose section attached to a flat aluminum top
section having piano type hinges along both sides, and two quick latching, wrap around, side panel
assembliesconsistingof two aluminum panels hinged together to provide easy accessto the engine.

8A-12. BLADETRACK. Blade track is the ability of one blade tip to follow the other, while rotating, in
almost the same plane. Excessivedifference in blade track - more than .0625 inch - may be an indication of
bent blades or improper propeller installation. Check blade track as follows:
a. With the engine shutdown and blades vertical, secure to the aircraft a smooth board just under
the tip of the lower blade. Move the tip fore and aft through its full "blade-shake" travel, making small
marks with a pencil at each position. Then center the tip between these marks and scribe a line on the
board for the full width of the tip.
b. Carefully rotate propeller by hand to bring the opposite blade down. Center the tip and scribe a
pencil line as before and check that lines are not separated more than .0625 inch.
c. Propellershavingexcess blade track should be removed and inspected for bent blades, or for parts
of sheared "O" ring, or foreign particles, which have lodged between hub and crankshaft mounting faces.
Bent blades will require repair and overhaul of assembly.

d. With the high RPM adjustment complete, the control system should be adjusted so that the governor
control arm will contact the high RPM stop when the cockpit control is 0.030 of an inch from forward stop on
the power quadrant. To adjust the control travel, disconnect the control cable end from the control arm,
loosen the cable end jam nut and rotate the end to obtain the desired level clearance. Reconnect the cable end
and tighten jam nut.
e. It is usually only necessary to adjust the high RPM setting of the governor control system, as the
action automatically takes care of the positive high pitch setting.
8A-17. ENGINE.
8A-17a. STANDARD PRACTICES - ENGINE. The following suggestions should be applied wherever
they are needed when working on the power plant.
a. To insure proper reinstallation and/or assembly, tag and mark all parts, clips, and brackets as to their
location prior to their removal and/or disassembly.
b. During removal of various tubes or engine parts, inspect them for indications of scoring, burning or
other undesirable conditions. To facilitate reinstallation, observe the location of each part during removal.
Tag any unserviceable part and/or units for investigation and possible repair.
c. Extreme care must be taken to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine, such as lockwire.
washers, nuts, dirt, dust, etc. This precaution applies whenever work is done on the engine, either on or off the
aircraft. Suitable protective caps, plugs, and covers must be used to protect all openings as they are exposed.
NOTE
Dust caps used to protect open lines must always be installed OVER
the tube ends and NOT IN the tube ends. Flow through the lines may
be blocked off if lines are inadvertently installed with dust caps in the
tube ends.
d. Should any items be dropped into the engine, the assembly process must stop and the item removed.
even though this may require considerable time and labor. Insure that all parts are thoroughly clean before
assembling.
e. Never reuse any lockwire, lockwashers, tablocks, tabwashers or cotter pins. All lockwire and cotter
pins must fit snugly in holes drilled in studs and bolts for locking purposes. Cotter pins should be installed so
the head fits into the castellation of the nut, and unless otherwise specified, bend one end of the pin back over
the stud or bolt and the other end down flat against the nut. Use only corrosion resistant steel lockwire and/ or
cotter pins. Bushing plugs shall be lockwired to the assembly base or case. Do not lockwire the plug to the
bushing.
f. All gaskets, packings and rubber parts must be replaced with new items of the same type at
reassembly. Insure the new nonmetallic parts being installed show no sign of having deteriorated in storage.
g. When installing engine parts which require the use of a hammer to facilitate assembly or installation.
use only a plastic or rawhide hammer.
h. Anti-seize lubrication should be applied to all loose-fit spline drives which are external to the engine
and have no other means of lubrication. For certain assembly procedures, molybdenum disulfide in either
paste or powdered form mixed with engine oil or grease may be used.
CAUTION
i. Temporary marking methods are those markings which will ensure identification during ordinary
handling, storage and final assembly of parts.

8A-34. INSPECTIONOF MAGNETO.
a. After the first 25-hour and 50-hour periods, and periodically thereafter, the contact assemblies
should be checked. Examine the points for excessive wear or burning. Points which have deep pits or
excessively burned areas should be discarded. Examine the cam follower felt for proper lubrication. If
necessary, points can be cleaned by using any hard finished paper. Clean breaker compartment with dry
cloth.
b. If engine operating troubles develop which appear to be caused by the ignition system, it is
advisableto check the spark plugs and wiring first before working on the magnetos.
c. Should the trouble appear definitely associated with the magneto, the most effective measure is
to install a replacement magneto which is known to be in satisfactory condition and send the suspected unit
to the overhaul shop for test and repair.
d. Should this not be possible, a visual inspection may disclose the source of trouble. Remove the
harness outlet plate from the magneto. Inspect for the presence of moisture and foreign matter on the
rubber grommet and high tension outlet side of the distributor block. Check height of block contact
springs. Also check for broken leads or damaged insulation. If either is present, remove magneto and replace
with one known to be in satisfactory condition.

8A-35. REMOVALOF MAGNETO. Beforeremoving the magneto, make sure magneto switches are off.
a. Remove the harness assembly terminal plate from the magneto.
WARNING
NOTE
When removing magneto from engine pad, caution should be used
to insure rubber drive pads do not fall into oil sump.
8A-36. TIMINGPROCEDURE(INTERNALTIMING).
a. Remove the cover to the contact(s), distributor block, etc.
b. To internally time the contact assemblyof the single-breakermagnetos, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the nut securing the drive plate to the magneto shaft sufficiently in order to install
the Scintilla 11-8465 Rotor Holding Tool under the nut and flat washer as shown in Figure 8A-11.Tighten
the nut securely.
2. Remove the timing inspection plug from the top of the magneto. Turn rotating magneto to
proper neutral position. This position is determined by locating keyways on drive end of magnet shaft at 12
o'clock with respect to name plate on housing. Tighten adjusting knob of 11-8465 Rotor Holding Tool
until pressure is applied on housing flange preventing magnet from turning.
3. Loosen and rotate cam until cam follower of contact assemblyrests on highest point of cam
lobe. Adjust contact assembly to obtain the clearance of 0.016 of an inch. Tighten contact assembly
securingscrews to 20 to 25 inch-pounds.
4. Install the 11-8693 Timing Plate Assembly and the 11-8149 Pointer Assembly of the
11-8150 Scintilla Timing Kit to breaker compartment of magneto. (Refer to Figure 8A-12.) Align pointer
assembly with the 0 ° mark on timing plate. Loosen adjusting knob of 11-8465 Rotor Holding Tool and
turn rotating magnet in normal direction of rotation until pointer indexes with the respective E gap mark
(15 ° ± 2°). Tighten adjusting knob of 11-8465 Tool and remove the 11-8149 Pointer Assembly from
magneto. Using a timing light, adjust contact points to just open. This adjustment shall be made by rotating
cam, in opposite direction of rotation until contacts just open. While holding cam in this exact position,
push cam on magnet shaft as far as possible with the fingers. Extreme care must be exercised in this
operation. If cam adjustment is changed in the slightest degree, the timing of the magneto will be thrown
Figure 8A-11. Rotor Holding Tool Installed Figure 8A-12. Timing Kit Installed
off. Do not drive cam on shaft with a mallet or other instrument. Tighten the securing screw thereby
drawing the cam down, evenly and tightly. Torque screw to 16-20 inch-pounds. Loosen the 11-8465 Rotor
Holding Tool adjustingknob and return rotating magneto to neutral position. Reinstall the 11-8149 Pointer
Assembly over 0° mark on timing plate. Rotate magnet shaft in normal direction of rotation and check for
opening of main contact points at E gap setting (15° ± 2°).
c. If the distributor block was not removed from the housing, the internal timing may be checked
by turning the magneto in the normal rotation to number one firing position (keyway up and points just
opening). At this position, the reference line on the distributor block should line up between the L and LB
marks on the gear. On singlecontact magnetos the line should favor the L mark, if possible.
d. If the distributor block was removed from the housing, the distributor gear alignment and
internal check may be accomplished as follows:
1. Turn rotating magnet in direction of rotation until it is located in firing position (keyway up
and points just opening). Tighten adjusting knob of 11-8465 Rotor Holding Tool. Apply a light coating of
Bendix Grease P/N 10-27165 to teeth of distributor gear, if needed. The large distributor gear incorporates
four timing marks, L and LB for left-hand rotation and R and RB for right-hand rotation.
2. With distributor gear assembled to block, turn gear until raised rib on block lines up
between the L and LB marks. Assemble block and gear into housing, meshing the distributor gears together.
The rib should favor the L mark, if possible. (Refer to Figure 8A-13.)
3. Secure distributor block to housing with studs and washers. Tighten studs finger tight.
Loosen the 11-8465 Rotor Holding Tool and turn rotating magnet in reverse direction of rotation until
timing light indicates contact assembly had just opened and check to make certain timing marks align
within tolerance indicated above. Tighten block securing studs, first to 4-8 inch-pounds torque and then
final torque to 20 inch-pounds.
4. Insert the tip of your small finger through timing hole in housing and against large
distributor gear teeth. Rock distributor gear back and forth slightly. There must be perceptible backlash
between teeth of large and small gears. This check should be made at three different points, 120° apart on
gear. If backlash is not evident, replace large distributor gear.

8A-37. INSTALLATION AND TIMING PROCEDURE (TIMING MAGNETO TO ENGINE). Although
only the left magneto is equipped with an impulse coupling, the timing procedure, in the following
paragraphs, is the same for both magnetos.
a. Remove the spark plug from No. 1 cylinder and place a thumb over the spark plug hole. Rotate
the crankshaft in direction of normal rotation until the compression stroke is reached, this is indicated by a
positive pressure inside the cylinder tending to push the thumb off the spark plug hole. Continue rotating
the crankshaft in direction of normal rotation until the advance timing mark (20) on the front face of the
starter ring gear is in exact alignment with the small hole located at the two o'clock position on the front
face of the starter housing. (Refer to Figure 8A-15.)
NOTE
The advance timing mark on the top face of the starter ring gear is
marked at both 20° and 25° BTC. Use only the 20 BTC mark
when timing the magnetos to the engine.
NOTE
b. At this point, the engine is ready for assembly of the magnetos. Remove the inspection plugs
from both magnetos and turn the drive shafts in direction of normal rotation until the first painted
chamfered tooth on the distributor gear is aligned in the center of the inspection window. (Refer to Figure
8A-16.) Being sure that the gear does not move from this position, install gaskets and magnetos on the
engine. Secure with washers and nuts; tighten only finger tight.
NOTE
c. Usinga battery powered timing light, attach the positive lead to a suitable terminal connected to
to any unpainted portion of the engine. Rotate
the ground terminal of the magneto and the negative lead
the magneto in its mounting flange to a point where the light comes on, then slowly turn it on.in the opposite
direction until the light goes out. Bring the magneto back slowly until the light just comes Repeat this
with the second magneto.
NOTE
d. After both magnetos have been timed, check, as described below, to ascertain that both magnetos
are set to fire together.
e. Back off the crankshaft a few degrees, the timing lights should go out. Bring the crankshaft
are in
slowly back in direction of normal rotation until the timing mark and the hole in the starter housing
alignment. At this point, both lights should go on simultaneously. Tighten nuts to specified torque.
f. After magnetos have been properly timed, replace breaker cover and secure.
g. Install the ground lead and the retard spark lead on the left magneto.
h. Place the harness terminal plate on the magneto and tighten nut around the plate alternately to
seat cover squarely on magneto. Torque nuts to 18 to 22 inch-pounds.
8A-38. HARNESSASSEMBLY.
8A-39. INSPECTIONOF HARNESS.
a. Check lead assemblies for nicks, cuts, mutilated braiding, badly worn section or any other
evidence of physical damage. Inspect spark plug sleevesfor chafing or tears and damaged or stripped threads

on coupling nuts. Check compression spring to see if it is broken or distorted. Inspect grommet for
Check all mounting brackets and clamps to see that they are secure and not cracked.
b. Using an ohmmeter, buzzer, or other suitable low voltage device, check each lead for continuity.
If continuity does not exist, wire is broken and must be replaced.
c. For electrical test of harness assembly, use a high voltage, direct current tester such as the TAKK
of
Model 86 or 86A or an equivalent direct current high voltage tester capable of deliveringa test potential
10,000 volts. Connect ground lead of high voltage tester to outer shielding braid of a single lead. Connect
plug terminal. Turn tester "ON" and apply 10,000 volts. The insulation resistance should be 100 megohms
minimum. Proceed to check other leads of harness in same manner.
d. Minor repair of the harness assembly, such as replacement of contact springs, spring retainer
assemblies, insulating sleeves or of one lead assembly, can be accomplished with the harness assembly a
mounted on the engine. However,should repair require replacement of more than one lead assemblyor of
cable outlet plate, the harness should be removed from the engine and sent to an overhaul shop.
230
NOTE
It may be necessary to lubricate the cable and insulating sleeve
with a thin film of MC 200 (200,000 centistokes) or commercial
grade alcohol to facilitate assembly.

b. To replace one of the lead assemblies,proceed as follows:
1. Remove clamps and brackets from applicable lead assembly. Cut cable ties from assembly
and discard.
2. Cut off condemned lead flush with outer surface of cable outlet plate.
3. Grip eyelet of lead with a pair of pliers and pull short length of conductor out of grommet
and cable outlet plate.
4. Using a 3-inch long, 0.270 inch diameter drift, applied at outer surface of plate, drive out
tapered ferrule and remainingpieces of insulation and shielding.
5. To determine what length the new lead assemblyshould be cut to, proceed as follows:
(a) Measure the length of the condemned lead assembly. Move coupling nut back on lead
assembly and measure from outer end of ferrule at spark plug end. (See Figure 8A-20.)
(b) To the length determined in Step (a), add 1-3/4 inches.
NOTE
Spare part leads are supplied in various lengths. Use a lead which is
longer than, but nearest to, the desired length.
6. Cut lead assembly to the length determined in Step 5. Mark ferrule on spark plug end of
lead with a metal stamp, scribe or rubber stamp to correspond with correct cylinder number.
7. Starting at spark plug location, thread new cable through grommets and clamps as necessary
for correct routing of cut end of cable to magneto location.
8. Using electrician's scissors, carefully remove 1.250 inch of outer braid from end of lead.
(Refer to Figure 8A-21.)
CAUTION
Use care not to nick or cut insulation when removing braid.
9. Using a scribe or similar pointed tool, unbraid 3/8 inch of braided shielding. (Refer to
Figure 8A-22.) Wrap a single thickness of electrical tape around unbraided strands to facilitate insertion of
lead end through hole in cable outlet plate.

cleanliness. Spray entire face of grommet with a light coat of Plastic Mold Spray, SM-O-O-THSilicone
Spray or equivalent. This will prevent harness grommet from sticking to magneto distributor block.
a. Place the harness terminal plate on the magneto and tighten nuts around the plate alternately to
seat cover squarely on magneto. Torque nuts to 18 to 22 inch-pounds.
b. Carefully route the high tension spark plug leads away from any hot spots such as manifolds and
sharp edges which might cause heat damage or chafing. Check leads for proper location in clamps so when
clamps are tightened the leads will not be crushed. Leads should be taut to prevent chafing due to vibration,
but not so taut as to produce undue strain or leads.
c. After all leads have been properly routed and secured to the engine, recheck all clamp securing
screws for tightness. Fasten coupling nuts to proper spark plugs and torque as specified in Table VIIIA-II.
Do not allow ferrules to turn whiletorquing nuts.

8A-43. SPARKPLUGS.
8A-44. REMOVALOF SPARKPLUGS.
a. Loosen the coupling nut on the harness lead and remove the terminal insulator from the spark
plug barrel well.
NOTE
b. Remove the spark plug from the engine. In the course of engine operation, carbon and other
combustion products will be deposited on the end of the spark plug and will penetrate the lower threads to
some degree. As a result, greater torque is frequently required for removing a plug than for its installation.
Accordingly, the torque limitations given do not apply to plug removal and sufficient torque must be used
to unscrew the plug. The higher torque in removal is not as detrimental as in installation, since it cannot
stretch the threaded section. It does, however, impose a shearing load on this section and may, if
sufficiently severe,produce a failure in this location.
234
c. Place spark plugs in a tray that will identify their position in the engine as soon as they are
removed.
NOTE
d. Removal of seized spark plugs in the cylinder may be accomplished by application of liquid
carbon dioxide by a conical metal funnel adapter with a hole at the apex just large enough to accommodate
the funnel of a CO2 bottle. (Refer to Figure 8A-30.) When a seized spark plug cannot be removed by
normal means, the funnel adapter is placed over and around the spark plug. Place the funnel of the C02
bottle inside the funnel adapter and release the carbon dioxide to chill and contract the spark plug. Break
the spark plug loose with a wrench. A warm cylinder head at the time the carbon dioxide is applied willaid
in the removalof an excessivelyseized plug.
e. Do not allow foreign objects to enter the spark plug hole.
8A-45. INSPECTIONAND CLEANINGOF SPARK PLUG.
a. Visuallyinspect each spark plug for the following non-repairable defects:
1. Severelydamaged shell or shield threads nicked up, stripped or crossthreaded.
2. Badly battered or rounded shell hexagons.
3. Out-of-round or damaged shieldingbarrel.
4. Chipped, cracked or broken ceramic insulator portions.
5. Badly eroded electrodes worn to approximately 50% of original size.
b. Clean the spark plug as required, removingcarbon and foreign deposits.
c. Test the spark plug both electrically and for resistance.
d. Set the electrode gap at 0.015 to 0.018 inches.
PAWNEEBRAVE SERVICEMANUAL
8A-46. INSTALLATION OF SPARK PLUGS. Before installing spark plugs, ascertain that the threads
within the cylinder are clean and not damaged.
a. Apply anti-seize compound sparingly on the threads and install gasket and spark plugs. Torque
360 to 420 inch-pounds.
CAUTION
Make certain the deep socket is properly seated on the spark plug
hexagon as damage to the plug could result if the wrench is cocked
to one side when pressure is applied.
b. Carefully insert the terminal insulator in the spark plug and tighten the coupling nut to the
specified torques givenin Table VIIIA-II. Do not allow ferrules to turn while torquing nuts.

almost the same plane. Excessivedifference in blade track - more than .0625 inch - may be an indication of
bent blades or improper propeller installation. Check blade track as follows:
a. With the engine shutdown and blades vertical, secure to the aircraft a smooth board just under
the tip of the lower blade. Move the tip fore and aft through its full "blade-shake" travel, making small
marks with a pencil at each position. Then center the tip between these marks and scribe a line on the
board for the full width of the tip.
b. Carefully rotate propeller by hand to bring the opposite blade down. Center the tip and scribe a
pencil line as before and check that lines are not separated more than .0625 inch.
c. Propellershavingexcess blade track should be removed and inspected for bent blades, or for parts
of sheared "O" ring, or foreign particles, which have lodged between hub and crankshaft mounting faces.
Bent blades will require repair and overhaul of assembly.

8B- 17a. STANDARD PRACTICES - ENGINE. The following suggestions should be applied wherever they
are needed when working on the power plant.
a. To insure proper reinstallation and/or assembly, tag and mark all parts, clips, and brackets as to their
location prior to their removal and/or disassembly.
b. During removal of various tube or engine parts, inspect them for indications of scoring, burning or
other undesirable conditions. To facilitate reinstallation, observe the location of each part during removal
Tag any unserviceable part and/or units for investigation and possible repair.
c. Extreme care must be taken to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine, such as lockwire.
washers, nuts, dirt, dust, etc. This precaution applies whenever work is done on the engine, either on or off the
aircraft. Suitable protective caps, plugs, and covers must be used to protect all openings as they are exposed.
NOTE
Dust caps used to protect open lines must always be installed OVER
the tube ends and NOT IN the tube ends. Flow through the lines may
be blocked off if lines are inadvertently installed with dust caps in the
tube ends.
d. Should any items be dropped into the engine, the assembly process must stop and the item removed.
even though this may require considerable time and labor. Insure that all parts are thoroughly clean before
assembling.
e. Never reuse any lockwire, lockwashers, tablocks, tabwashers or cotter pins. All lockwire and cotter
pins must fit snugly in holes drilled in studs and bolts for locking purposes. Cotter pins should be installed so
the head fits into the castellation of the nut, and unless otherwise specified, bend one end of the pin back over
the stud or bolt and the other end down flat against the nut. Use only corrosion resistant steel lockwire and / or
cotter pins.
f. All gaskets, packings and rubber parts must be replaced with new items of the same type at
reassembly. Insure the new nonmetallic parts being installed show no sign of having deteriorated in storage.
g. When installing engine parts which require the use of a hammer to facilitate assembly or installation,
use only a plastic or rawhide hammer.
h. Anti-seize lubrication should be applied to all loose-fit spline drives which are external to the engine
and have no other means of lubrication. For certain assembly procedures, molybdenum disulfide in either
paste or powdered form mixed with engine oil or grease may be used.
CAUTION
i. Temporary marking methods are those markings which will ensure identification during ordinary
handling, storage and final assembly of parts.

c. The D2230 series magneto may be mounted to the engine without removing the cover from
the
magneto The cover also has switch terminal outlets for the right and left sides of the magneto, located
in
the center of the harness lead outlet section of the cover. (Refer to Figure 8B-17.)
NOTE
It is recommended that short adapter leads be fabricated to
facilitate connecting the timing light unit to the switch outlet
terminals of the cover. (Refer to Figure 8B-17.)
d. The magneto incorporates a built-in pointer and a degree wheel with sufficient reference to assist
the mechanic in magneto timing procedures. Printed upon the rotating magnet are marks to indicate
magneto neutral and magneto "E" gap (8° ). (Refer to Figure 8B-13.) Also included are retard angle
references of 10, 15, 20 and 25 degrees. These marks are set up for either clockwise (R) of
counterclockwise (L) rotation of the magneto as viewed from the magneto drive end. The timing tooth of
each large distributor gear is marked with red paint. (Refer to Figure 8B-14.)
NOTE
A magneto, correctly timed internally, will have the timing teeth
of the large distributor gears approximately centered in the timing
windows at each end of the magneto; the L ("E" gap) mark which
is closest to the "K" or keyway up position indicator on the rotor
in alignment with the pointer, and both main breaker points
opening all at the same time. These three references, "E" gap,
painted teeth, and point opening are all used when timing the
magneto to the engine.
e. Remove the magneto drive gear backlash by turning the propeller opposite to normal rotation
approximately 40° past number one firing position; then turn propeller in direction of normal rotation
up
to number one firingposition of 20 BTC.
f. Remove the plug or adapter from the distributor inspection windows at either end of the
magneto housing. (Refer to Figure 8B-15.) Also remove the plug from the "E" gap inspection window on
the data plate side of the magneto housing. (Refer to Figure 8B-16.)
g. Turn the rotating magnet drive shaft in the normal direction of magneto rotation until the red
distributor tooth appears in the distributor inspection window, and also check to see if the letter "K"
appears in the "E" gap inspection window on the data plate side. If the letter "B" is in the window, turn
the magneto shaft 1-1/2 times in the direction of rotation and check again to be sure the "K" is in the
window on the data plate side and the red distributor tooth appears in each distributor inspection window.
On early model dual magnetos four "N" marks appear on the rotor at each neutral. The proper timing
position may be found on these magnetos by aligning the "N" mark in the "E" gap inspection window
which directly corresponds to the shaft keyway position. To determine this the magneto must be removed
from the engine and using a piece of safety wire or a paper clip with a short 90 bend on one end. Run the
hooked end of the wire around the magneto drive shaft at the rear of the drive coupling and find the
keyway slot. With this slot turned to the data plate side of the magneto housing, the "N" that appears in
the "E" gap inspection window is the proper mark for timing reference.
For future reference a small red dot may be painted over this
particular "N" mark on the rotor to indicate the keyway up
reference position needed for proper timing.
If, in future timing checks, the red teeth appear in the distributor inspection windows and the dotted "N"
does not show up in the "E" gap inspection hole, simply turn the magneto shaft 1-1/2 turns (or the
propeller 2 turns) in the direction of rotation and the magneto will be in the proper timing position.
8B-37. MAGNETO TIMING PROCEDURE (INTERNAL TIMING).
a. Remove magneto cover and disconnect air pressure hose from magneto housing.
b. Loosen flange clamps and remove magneto from engine.
c. Check condition of points; replace if necessary.
d. Rotate the magneto drive shaft until a main cam lobe touches the follower of the left main
breaker assembly and adjust the breaker points to an initial opening of .016 inch. Wire feeler gauge is
recommended.
e. Adjust right main breaker contact assemblyto an initial point opening of.016inchjust as in Step d.
f. Rotate the retard cam until lobe touches cam followerand check retard breaker contact for .016
inch point opening. Fixed contact support may be bent to adjust clearance. If support is bent, main breaker
contact must be rechecked. Torque breaker securing screws to 20-25 inch-pounds.
NOTE
g. Position rotor so keyway is at 12 o'clock position and red painted distributor teeth are visible in
timing windows.
h. Loosen drive shaft nut and position the Rotor Holding Tool (Bendix part number 11-8465)
under washer or bushing on drive end of rotor shaft with clamp at 4 o'clock position so any shaft deflection
caused by clamping action will be in a plane parallel to breaker contacts. Tighten nut to secure holding tool
to shaft. Check to insure proper location of keyway and tighten adjusting screw of holding tool to lock
rotor in position.
i. Loosen rotor holding tool and turn magnet in direction of rotation until adjacent "L" ("E" gap)
mark is aligned with pointer and lock in position. Both red painted teeth should be approximately centered
in timing windows.
NOTE
The use of the timing light unit, part number 1 1-9110-1 available
from Bendix will simplify the internal timing procedure and
breaker synchronization.
j. Connect the timing light black lead to any unpainted surface of the magneto.
k. Connect the red timing light lead to the left breaker terminal and the green lead to the right main
breaker terminal. (Refer to Figure 8B-18.)
1. Loosen rotor holding tool and move the rotor back a few degrees; then move it forward. Both
lights should go out to indicate opening of the main breakers when the timing pointer is indicating within
the width of the "L" mark and the red painted teeth are centered in timing windows.
m. If breaker timing is not correct, loosen cam securing screw (Refer to Figure 8B-15 and remove
retard cam; then unseat main breaker cam from taper. Using 1 1-3031 Retaining Ring Pliers inserted in holes
in cam, rotate main breaker cam in direction of rotation until left main breaker points just open and press
cam onto taper. Install retard cam washer and screw. Tighten screw to seat main breaker cam.
n. Loosen rotor holding tool to turn rotating magnet back a few degrees: then turn rotating magnet
in normal direction of rotation. Timing light should go out when timing pointer is aligned with "L" ("E"
gap) mark. Lock rotating magnet in position where points just open.
o. Loosen right main breaker securing screws and position breaker so cam follower is pressed against
cam with points closed. Tighten contact assembly securing screws to prevent contact assembly from
bouncing back when moved. Using a small mallet and drift, tap right breaker in until points just open.
p. Turn rotating magnet back a few degrees: then turn rotating magnet in normal direction of
rotation. Both timing lights should go out within one degree or half the width of "L" mark on rotor. If
breakers are not properly synchronized, reset right breaker.
q. Check right main breaker contact for 0.016 ± .004 inch point opening and torque right breaker
contact securing screws to 20-25 inch-pounds. If point opening is out of limits, repeat timing procedure
setting left main breaker opening at .016 ± .002 inch. If right contacts open beyond .020 inch. set left
contacts closer to .018 inch. If right contacts open less than .012 inch, set left contacts closer to .014 inch.
r. Connect the 11-9110-1 timing lights to retard terminal on left contact assembly. Turn rotating
magnet in normal direction of rotation to retard angle of 15 degrees and lock in position. Carefully loosen
cam securing screw enough to allow retard cam to turn. Turn cam in normal direction of rotation until
retard breaker points just open. Torque cam securing screw 16-20 inch-pounds. On Bendix D-2000 and
D-3000 series magnetos. a cam self-locking retaining screw should be installed inplace of old non-self-locking
screw, if not already installed. Torque to 21-25 inch-pounds. If this self-locking screw is removed at anytime, it
should be replaced. Refer to the latest revision of Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1400or Bendix Bulletin
No. 608.
s. Using timing light, recheck timing to insure main breakers open within one-half the width of "L"
mark and that retard breaker opens at correct degree setting. Using a wire feeler gauge. check left main
breaker for .016 + .002 inch point opening and right main breaker and retard breaker for .0 6 .004 inch
point opening.
NOTE
t. Check capacitors for looseness in the magneto cover of the harness assemblyand for any physical
damage. The capacitors should be checked for capacitance, series resistance and leakage.Capacitance should
be 0.34 to 0.41 microfarads. The use of Bendix condenser tester, part number 11-1767-1,-2 or -3 or
equivalent will simplify this test. Replace defective capacitors and torque securing nut to 60-70
inch-pounds.

cleanliness. Spray entire face of grommet with a light coat of Plastic Mold Spray, SM-O-O-THSilicone
Spray or equivalent. This will prevent harness grommet from sticking to magneto distributor block.
a. Place the harness terminal plate on the magneto and tighten nuts around the plate alternately to
seat cover squarely on magneto. Torque nuts to 18 to 22 inch-pounds.
b. Carefully route the high tension spark plug leads away from any hot spots such as manifolds and
sharp edges which might cause heat damage or chafing. Check leads for proper location in clamps so when
clamps are tightened the leads will not be crushed. Leads should be taut to prevent chafing due to vibration,
but not so taut as to produce undue strain or leads.
c. After all leads have been properly routed and secured to the engine, recheck all clamp securing
screws for tightness. Fasten coupling nuts to proper spark plugs and torque as specified in Table VIIIB-II.
Do not allow ferrulesto turn while torquing nuts.

8B-43. SPARKPLUGS.
8B44. REMOVALOF SPARKPLUGS.
a. Loosen the coupling nut on the harness lead and remove the terminal insulator from the spark
plug barrel well.
NOTE
When withdrawing the ignition cable lead connection from the
plug, care must be taken to pull the lead straight out and in line
with the center line of the plug barrel; otherwise a side load will be
applied, which frequently results in damage to the barrel insulator
and connector. If the lead cannot be removed easily in this
manner, the resisting contact between the neoprene collar and the
barrel insulator will be broken by a rotary twisting of the collar.
Avoid undue distortion of the collar and possible side loading of
the barrel insulator.
b. Remove the spark plug from the engine. In the course of engine operation, carbon and other
combustion products will be deposited on the end of the spark plug and will penetrate the lower threads to
some degree. As a result, greater torque is frequently required for removing a plug than for its installation.
Accordingly, the torque limitations given do not apply to plug removal and sufficient torque must be used
to unscrew the plug. The higher torque in removal is not as detrimental as in installation, since it cannot
stretch the threaded section. It does, however, impose a shearing load on this section and may, if
sufficiently severe,produce a failure in this location.
234
c. Place spark plugs in a tray that will identify their position in the engine as soon as they are
removed.
NOTE
d. Removal of seized spark plugs in the cylinder may be accomplished by application of liquid
carbon dioxide by a conical metal funnel adapter with a hole at the apexjust largeenough to accommodate
the funnel of a C02 bottle. (Refer to Figure 8B-33.) When a seized spark plug cannot be removed by
normal means, the funnel adapter is placed over and around the spark plug. Place the funnel of the C02
bottle inside the funnel adapter and release the carbon dioxide to chill and contract the spark plug. Break
the spark plug loose with a wrench. A warm cylinder head at the time the carbon dioxide is applied will aid
in the removal of an excessivelyseized plug.
e. Do not allow foreign objects to enter the spark plug hole.
8B-45. INSPECTIONAND CLEANINGOF SPARKPLUG.
a. Visuallyinspect each spark plug for the followingnon-repairabledefects:
1. Severelydamaged shell or shield threads nicked up, stripped or crossthreaded.
2. Badly battered or rounded shell hexagons.
3. Out-of-round or damagedshieldingbarrel.
4. Chipped, cracked or broken ceramic insulator portions.
5. Badly eroded electrodesworn to approximately 50% of original size.
b. Clean the spark plug as required, removingcarbon and foreign deposits.
c. Test the spark plug both electrically and for resistance.
d. Set the electrode gap at 0.015 to 0.018 inches.
8B-46. INSTALLATIONOF SPARK PLUGS. Before installing spark plugs, ascertain that the threads
within the cylinder are clean and not damaged.
a. Apply anti-seize compound sparingly on the threads and install gasket and spark plugs. Torque
360 to 420 inch-pounds.
CAUTION
Make certain the deep socket is properly seated on the spark plug
hexagon as damage to the plug could result if the wrench is cocked
to one side when pressure is applied.
b. Carefully insert the terminal insulator in the spark plug and tighten the coupling nut to the
specified torques givenin Table VIIIB-II. Do not allowferrules to turn while torquing nuts.

FUEL SYSTEM
9-1. INTRODUCTION.This section contains instructions for repairing difficulties which may arise in the
operation of the fuel system and its related parts aft of the fire wall. For details of the system forward of
the fire wall, refer to Section VIII. The instructions in this section are organized so the mechanic can refer
to: Description and Principles of Operation for a basic understanding of the system; Removal, Repair and
Installation of the various components, and a Troubleshooting Chart to facilitate the location and repair of
the different components of the fuel system.
9-2. DESCRIPTION. The fuel system consists of two bladder type fuel cells; one locatedin the inboard bay
of each wing. Both tanks are filled with polyurethane safetyfoam which acts as an infinitebaffleand provides
100% slosh mitigation. Each tank has an individual filler. The two tanks are connected by a small spar
mounted header tank to operate as a single tank system with an on-off valve.
The fuel lines are fire resistant and are wire reinforced at potential rupture points. The header tank
and wing tanks are vented by means of a vent tube routed from the header tank through each wing fuel cell
and extending out through each wing to an outlet on the underside of each wing at the tip.
From the header tank the fuel travelsto the ON-OFF valve; then to the fuel strainer bowl. From there
the fuel is drawn up through an electric pump for the engine priming system or through the engine driven
pump and into the fuel injection system.
On PA-36-285 aircraft Serial Nos. 7360020 and up and earlier serial numbered aircraft which have
been modified by the installation of Piper Kit 760 782, the electric fuel pump alongwith an auxiliary fuel
control valve are utilized as an emergencyfuel supply and control system in the unlikely event of an engine
fuel pump failure. A complete description of this auxiliary fuel control system may be found in Paragraph
9-31 of this ServiceManualSection.
There are three fuel quantity transmitters in the system; one in each tank, and one in the header tank
that are all connected to a gauge on the panel.
The system has four manual drains; one on the underside of each wing for the wingtanks, one for the fuel
filter bowl located just forward of the leading edge of the wing on the left side of the fuselage,and one on the
bottom of the fuselageon the left hand sidejust aft of the trailing edge of the wing. The latter drain is labeled
by a placard "Fuel Sump Drain" located on the lower left side of the fuselage.A push-pullcontrol lever on the
console activates the main fuel shutoff valve behind the fire wall. A calibrated dipstick is clipped to the bulk-
head behind the seat.
9-3. TROUBLESHOOTING.Table IX-I, located in the back of this section, lists troubles which may occur
in the mechanical or electrical portions of the fuel system, the probable causes and suggested remedies.
When troubleshooting, first check from the fuel supply or power source to the item affected. If the
suggested remedy does not eliminate the problem, the trouble probably exists inside the component
involved. It will then be necessary to remove the defective component for repair or replace it with an
identical serviceableunit.

9-4. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS. There are certain general precautions and rules that should be followed
when performing any work on the fuel system as described in this section. Specificprecautions concerning the
handling of the polyurethane foam internal fuel cell baffles will be found in Paragraph 9-11. General
precautions concerning the system are as follows:
a. When fueling, defueling, making repairs or disassemblingthe fuel system, ground the aircraft to a
suitable ground stake.
b. Before starting work on the aircraft that may require exposure of raw fuel to the environment,
personnel shall ground themselves to the aircraft to remove static electricity.
c. Draining fuel from the fuel cells, uncapped fuel cells; and disconnected fuel lines all constitute a
fire hazard. Adequate safety precautions should be taken whenever it is necessary to work near raw fuel.
The area around the aircraft should be roped of within a 50-foot radius from the aircraft and should be
marked "DANGER, OPEN FUEL TANKS, UNAUTHORIZEDPERSONNEL KEEP OUT." Any portable
electric or spark producing equipment should be cleared from the area.
d. Fire extinguishing equipment should be close at all times.
e. If work is to be done inside a hangar, the environment should be dust free and the building
should provide good ventilation. All vent fan outlets should be located so as to prevent the vapors from
being wind carried back into the hangar. Safety precautions per section "c" of this paragraph should be
met.
a. Completely drain the wing fuel cells and header tank with the fuel shutoff control in the ON
position. (Observe precautions per Paragraph9-4.)
b. Remove the wing that contains the cell to be removed per Paragraph4-17.
c. Place the wing on suitable supports, topside up.
d. Remove the forward wing root rib by removingthe screws along the top and bottom flanges and
the bolts along the front and rear flanges.
e. Remove the inboard removable wing leading edge section by removing the screws and reach
through the holes in the spar and disconnect the clamp on the fuel vent line that runs through the fuel cell
and out through the wing to the tip.
f. Remove the retainer nut from the fuel cell drain valveand remove the valve.
g. Remove the fuel quantity transmitter per Paragraph9-15.

the emergency section of the auxiliary fuel control valve. This section of the valvemodulates the fuel flow
at the inlet to the engine fuel system based on engine requirements as determined by engine manifold
pressure and engine pump outlet fuel pressure (control pressure) as supplied to the auxiliary fuel control
valve.
c. Normal Engine Operation: During normal engine operation the auxiliaryfuel control system has
no effect on the engine fuel system. All fuel flow to the engine is created by the enginedriven fuel pump
and the entire auxiliary fuel control system is experiencing slightnegative fuel (suction) pressures. Fuel can
flow to the engine driven pump inlet either through the bypass check valvein the airframe electric pump or
through the auxiliary fuel control valve, whicheveris the easiest path.
differential moves the valve upward against its relatively weak spring. This closes the lower emergency fuel
flow passage and opens the upper priming fuel flow passage. The bypass fuel flow set up by these
conditions reduces the fuel pressure supplied by the auxiliary fuel control system to the engine fuel system
to the proper valve for priming and starting the engine. The position of the spool valve in the emergency
section of the auxiliary fuel control valve has no effect on fuel flow through the upper priming passageto
the outlet port of the valve.
b. Emergency Section: When the red fuel pump emergencyswitch on the upper instrument panel is
put into the "on" position the airframe electric fuel pump is activated and fuel pressure is supplied to the
inlet port and priming section chamber of the auxiliary fuel control valve. Since the priming solenoid is not
activated by this switch, the priming section spool valve stays in its full downward position blocking any
fuel flow through the upper passage but allowing fuel flow through the lower passage to the emergency
section chamber.
Fuel flowing through this lower passagemust pass the spool valvein the emergency chamber through a
different route than the priming bypass fuel. As the spool valve in the emergencychamber moves upward
and downward the bypass fuel flow through the auxiliary fuel control valveis modulated. The position of
the spool valve in the emergency chamber is influenced by two pressureswhich are taken from the engine.
Fuel pressure at the engine pump outlet just ahead of the mixture control, which for our purpose is
called control pressure, is supplied to the bottom of the emergency spool valve.A flexible diaphragm seals
this port from the emergency chamber but allows the control pressure to act on the bottom of the spool
valve. Engine intake manifold pressure is supplied to a sealed chamber at the top of the emergency spool
valve. Again a flexible diaphragm is used to seal the manifold pressure chamber but allow the pressure
therein to act on the top of the emergency spool valve.The manifold pressure chamber also incorporates an
internal spring and an adjusting screw which allows adjustment of the force applied to the top of the
emergency spool valve by this spring. This adjustment is called the control pressure adjustment and is set on
a flow bench. No field adjustment of this screwis allowed.
Once the idle pressure adjustment screw in the lower passage and the control pressure adjustment
screw on the top of the manifold pressure chamber are set in their proper positions as determined by a
specified bench flow test procedure, the interaction of the forces on the emergencyspool valve created by
the two engine pressures and the spring put this valve in the proper position to bypass the desired amount
of fuel for proper engine operation with the auxiliary fuel control system operating in the emergency mode.
The design of this emergency section of the valve allows the emergency mode of the auxiliary fuel
control system to be activated with any condition of engine driven pump operation, from normal operation
to partial failure to full failure, without serious overboosting of the engine fuel pressure at any power
setting. However,since this valve does not have the altitude compensatingfeature of the engine driven fuel
pump, manual leaning with the mixture control will be required for smooth engine operation with this
system operating under higher density altitude conditions.

10-1. INTRODUCTION.This section contains procedures for removal and installation of the various
instruments and system components installed in the PA-36 Pawnee Brave. Also contained in this section is a
description of each instrument, along with tests, maintenance and minor adjustments. Maintenance, other
than describedin this section, shall be done by the instrument manufacturer or an authorized repair station.
10-2. GENERAL. The instrumentation in the Pawnee Brave is designed to give a quick and actual
indication of the attitude, performance, condition, and operation of the airplane. The instruments will be
divided into three sections: flight, engine and miscellaneous. Some of the instruments are components of
indicating systems at remote parts of the airplane. A few of the instruments, however, are self-contained
and merely have to be correctly installed to give an indication. Warning lights are installed to indicate
unsatisfactory or dangerous conditions. Instruments requiring power from the electrical system are
provided with circuit breakers to isolate the individual systems in the event of trouble.
10-3. INSTRUMENTPANEL. The instrument panel is equipped with a large crash roll. The most essential
instruments are located in the small panel above the crash roll, while all other instruments, switches, and
circuit breakers are located below the roll.
10-4. INSTRUMENTS.
10-5. REMOVAL OF INSTRUMENTS. Since all instruments are mounted in a similar manner, a
description of a typical removal and installation is provided as a guide for the removal and installation of all
the instruments.

10-10. BLOWING OUT LINES. Although drains are provided for the pitot and static system,
condensation or foreign material may collect at some other point and partially clogthe system. To clear the
lines, refer to the followingprocedure:
a. Disconnect the line of the system in question at the instrument.
b. Using low pressure air, blow from indicator end outward toward pitot tube or static ports,
whichever applies.
CAUTION
10-11. PITOT SYSTEMINSPECTIONAND LEAK TEST. A pitot system simulator is needed to leak test
the pitot system. The test instrument must be able to provide an adjustable supply of clean, low pressure
air. To leak test the system proceed as follows:
a. Attach the simulator pressure hose to the pitot tube on the aircraft.
b. Operate the simulator to obtain a reading of 140 miles per hour on the aircraft airspeed indicator.
c. Check to be sure the aircraft airspeed indicator needle follows in the same direction as the
simulator airspeed indicator needle.
d. Wait 15 seconds to allow the aircraft airspeed indicator to stabilize.
e. Observe the simulator and aircraft airspeed indicators. If a leak is present, the indicator needles
will move toward zero.
f. If a leak is present, check test instrument hose connections and pitot system lines and fittings.
Repair leak when found, and repeat steps above.
10-12. STATIC SYSTEM INSPECTION AND LEAK TEST. A source of negative pressure is needed to
leak test the static system. To leak test the system proceed as follows:
a. Install a test fixture and hose to one of the static buttons. Tape over the other static button.
b. Set the aircraft altimeter needles to read zero altitude. Operate the simulator to cause the aircraft
altimeter needles to read 1000 feet.
c. Check that the aircraft airspeed indicator shows an increase, and the aircraft rate of climb
indicator shows a climb indication.
d. Allow the rate of climb indicator needle to return to the center position. Observe the aircraft
altimeter. Lossof indicated altitude shall not exceed one hundred feet in one minute.
e. If a leak exceeds the above tolerance, check fixture installation, plumbing and fittings. Repair
leak when found, and repeat static system checks.
f. Remove fixture and tape from static button.
10-13. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF SYSTEM COMPONENTS.To remove the pitot mast,
remove the rectangular access cover just inboard from the mast. Loosen the clamp, in the wing, that holds
the hose on the connector, and slide the hose up and off the connector. Hold the nuts in the wing and
remove the three screws that attach the mast to the wing; then drop the mast down and off the wing.
Reverse this procedure for installation. Access to the pitot system drain may be gained by removing the
bottom wing root fairing. The manifold block is located on a support attached to root rib. Access to the
static system drain is gained by removing the fuselage side panel adjacent to the control console in the

10-25. GENERAL. The airspeed indicator provides a means of indicating the speed of the airplane passing
through the air. The airspeed indication depends on the differential pressure between pitot air pressure and
static air pressure. This instrument has the diaphragm vented to the pitot air source, and the case is vented
to the static air system. As the airplane increases speed, the pitot air pressure increases, causing the
diaphragm to expand. A mechanical linkage picks up this motion and moves the instrument pointer to the
indicated speed. The instrument dial is calibrated in knots and miles per hour and also has the necessary
operating range markings for safe operation of the airplane.

in the header tank. Each transmitter consists of a vertical rod which is actually a rheostat, and a float
assembly containing rheostat wipers. The vertical motion of the fuel causes the float to slide up or down
the rod, increasing or decreasing the amount of electrical resistance in the circuit. This resistance regulates
the amount of deflection, which indicates fuel level.

11-1. INTRODUCTION.This section contains instructions and schematics for correcting difficulties which
may arisein the operation of the electrical system.
The instructions are organized so the mechanic can refer to: Description and Principles of Operation
for a basic understanding of the various electrical systems; Troubleshooting for a methodical approach in
locating the difficulty; Corrective Maintenance for removal, repair and installation of components; and
Adjustments and Tests for operation of the repaired system. Schematics for the individual systems are
located at the end of this section.
11-2. DESCRIPTION. Electrical power is supplied by a 28-volt, direct current, negative ground electrical
system. A 24-volt, 17-ampere-hour battery is incorporated in the system to furnish power for starting, and
as a reservepower source in case of alternator failure. It is located just aft of the fire wall on the right side
of the airplane.
The electrical generating system is an engine driven 60-ampere alternator for the Continental Power
Plant or 70-ampere alternator for the Lycoming Power Plant. A solid state regulator maintains the system
bus voltage at 28 volts. Also incorporated is an overvoltagerelay, which prevents damage to the electrical
and avionic equipment in case of regulator malfunctions. The loads from the electrical bus system are
protected by manual reset type circuit breakers, which are located on the lower right portion of the
instrument panel.
11-3. TROUBLESHOOTING.Troubles peculiar to the electrical system are listed in Table XI-V at the
back of this section along with their probable causes and suggestedremedies. The wiring diagrams included
at the end of this section will give a physical breakdown of the different electrical circuits used in this
airplane.
After the trouble has been corrected, check the entire electrical system for security and operation of
its components.
114. ALTERNATOR SYSTEM. The alternator is located on the front lower left side of the engine and
utilizes a belt drive from the engine crankshaft. Many advantages both in operation and maintenance are
derived from this system. The main advantage is that full electrical power output is available regardlessof
engine RPM.
The alternator has no armature or commutator and only a small pair of carbon brushes, which make
contact with a pair of copper slip rings. The rotating member of the alternator, known as the rotor, is
actually the field windings. The rotor draws only 5% of the current output. Therefore, there is very little
friction, and minute wear or heat in this area. The alternating current is converted to direct current by
diodes (rectifiers) pressed into the end bell housing of the alternator. The diodes (rectifiers) are highly
reliable solid state devices, but are easily damaged if current flow is reversed through them.
The alternator system does not require a reverse current relay because of the high back resistance of
the diodes (rectifiers) and the inability of the alternator to draw current or motorize. A current regulator is
unnecessary because the windings have been designed to limit the maximum current available. Therefore,
the voltage control is the only control needed. It is very important that the voltage regulator have a good
ground connection to the airframe.
The overvoltage control is incorporated into the system to prevent the voltage from exceeding the
specified limit if failure of the voltage regulator occurs.
Located on the instrument panel are two circuit breakers which control
marked "alternator output" and the other "alternator field." The "output" the generating system. One is
and protects the wire to the alternator. The 5-ampere "field" circuit breaker iscircuit breaker is 60-amperes,

NOTE
The amount of current shown on the ammeter is the load in
amperes required by the electrical system from the alternator. As a
check, take for example a condition where the battery is
demanding 10-amperes charging current, then switch on the taxi
light. Note the value in amperes placarded on the panel for the
taxi light circuit breaker (10 amperes) and multiply this by 80
percent; you will arrive at a current of 8 amperes. This is the
approximate current drawn by the taxi light. Therefore, when the
taxi light is switched on, there will be an increase of current from
10 to 18 amperes displayed on the ammeter. As each unit of
electrical equipment is switched on, the currents will add up,and
the total, including the battery, will appear on the ammeter.

f. To remove the drive end head from the rotor shaft, use a puller that grips on the bearing retainer
plate as shown in Figure 11-6. Do not attempt to remove by supporting the end head and pressingon the
shaft, as this may result in distortion of the end head or stripping of the retainer plate screws. Remove the
three retainer screwsand press the bearing out of the end head. (Refer to Figure 11-7.)
11-11. INSPECTION AND TESTING OF COMPONENTS.Upon completion of disassembly, all parts
should be cleaned and visually inspected for cracks, wear or distortion and any signs of overheating or
mechanicalinterference.
a. Rotor: The rotor should be tested for grounded or shorted windings. The ground test can be
made with test probes, connected in series with a 110-volt test lamp, an ohmmeter or any type of
continuity tester. (Refer to Figure 11-8.) There must not be any continuity between the slip rings and the
rotor shaft or poles. To test for shorted turns in the rotor winding, connect a voltmeter, ammeter and
rheostat as shown in Figure 11-9, or use an ohmmeter. Rotor current draw and resistance are listed in Table
XI-I. Excessivecurrent draw or low ohmmeter reading indicates shorted windings. No current draw or an
infinite ohmmeter reading indicates an open winding.

1. Because the stator windings have low resistance, a rough check of the alternator output
system can easily be made using a multimeter or battery-lamp continuity tester. The output wire must be
removed but the alternator does not need to be removed from the engine.
2. Procedure:
(a) Connect tester leads between alternator frame (ground) and the "AUX" terminal stud,
note the resistance (or lamp brightness). Then exchange the lead positions.
(1) If the resistance (or lamp brightness) is the same in both lead positions, a shorted
negative diode is indicated and the alternator must be repaired or replaced.
(2) If the resistance is very high (or lamp does not light) in both lead positions, all
three negative diodes are open and the alternator must be repaired or replaced.
(3) Normal indications are a low resistance (bright test lamp) when the positive test
lead is at ground and a high resistance (no light) when the positive lead is at the
"AUX" terminal.
(b) Connect the tester leads between the "AUX" terminal stud and the "+" output
terminal stud, note the resistance (or lamp brightness). Then exchange the lead
positions.
(1) If the resistance (or lamp brightness) is the same in both lead positions, a shorted
positive diode is indicated and the alternator must be repaired or replaced.
(2) If the resistance is very high (lamp does not light) in both lead positions, all three
positive diodes are open and the alternator must be repaired or replaced.
(3) Normal indications are a low resistance (bright test lamp) when the positive test
lead is on the "AUX" terminal and a high resistance (no light) when the positive
test lead is on the "+" output terminal.

test bulb lights, or ohmmeter indicates continuity, the stator is grounded. To test for open windings,
connect one test probe to the auxiliary terminal or the stator winding center connection and touch each of
the three stator leads. The test bulb must light, or the ohmmeter must show continuity. Due to the low
resistance in the stator windings, shorted windings are almost impossibleto locate. However, shorted stator
windingswill usually cause the alternator to growl or be noisy during operation and will usually show some
signs of overheating. If all other electrical checks are normal and alternator fails to supply its rated output,
the stator should be replaced to determine whether or not it is the faulty component.
d. Bearings and Seals: Whenever the alternator is overhauled, new bearings and oil or grease seals
are recommended, even though the bearings and seals appear to be in good condition. A faulty seal can
cause an alternator to fail within a very short period of time.
11-12. ASSEMBLYOF ALTERNATOR.
a. Press the bearing into the drive end head using a flat block approximately two inches square so
that the pressure is exerted on the outer race of the bearing. Install the retainer plate. With the snap ring
and retainer cup in place on the rotor shaft, use a tool that fits over the shaft and against the inner bearing
race, and press until the inner bearing race is against the snap ring retainer cup. (Refer to Figure 11-10.)
b. Carefully install the rectifiers in the slip ring end head or rectifier mounting plate by supporting

a. Bearings: These units have a sealed ball bearing at the drive end and a two-piece roller bearing at
the slip ring end. The inner race is pressed onto the rotor shaft and the rest of the bearingis in the slip ring
end head. When the unit is assembled, the inner race alignswith the bearing. Whenthe bearing is replaced,
the new inner race must be installed on the rotor shaft.
b. Lubrication: The slip ring end bearing should be lubricated whenever the alternator is
disassembled. The bearing should be thoroughly cleaned and repacked with Shell Alvania No. 2 or an
equivalent bearing lubricant. The cavity behind the bearing should be packed one-third to one-half full with
the same lubricant.
c. Brushes: These units have a separate brush holder assembly that is installed after the alternator
has been assembled. The brush holder has a small hole that intersects the brush cavities.Usea pin or a piece
of wire, as shown in Figure 11-15 to hold the brushes in the holder during assembly.Removethe pin after
the brush holder retaining screws have been tightened. Make a continuity check to be sure the brushes are
seated against the slip rings.

11-17. CHECKING ALTERNATOR BELT TENSION. If properly installed, tensioned and checked
periodically, the alternator drive belt will give very satisfactory service. However,an improperly tensioned
belt will wear rapidly and may slip and reduce alternator output. Consequently, a belt should be checked
for proper tension at the time it is installed, again after 25 hours operation and at each 100-hour inspection
thereafter.
The method for checking alternator belt tension is described below:
Torque method: This method of checking belt tension consists of measuring torque required to slip
the belt at the small pulley and is accomplished as follows:
1. Apply a torque indicating wrench to the nut that attaches the pulley to the alternator and
turn it in a clockwisedirection. Observethe torque shown on the wrench at the instant the pulley slips.

NOTE
11-38. STARTINGMOTOR.
11-39. DESCRIPTIONOF STARTING MOTOR. The gear reduction starting motor consists of six major
components. The Commutator End Head Assembly, the Armature, the Frame and Field Assembly, the
Gear Housing,and the Bendix Drive Assembly.(Refer to Figure 11-19.)
11-40. OPERATION OF STARTING MOTOR. When the starting circuit is energized,battery current is
applied to the starting motor terminal. Current flows through the field coils, creating a strong magnetic
field. At the same time, current flows through the brushes to the commutator, through the armature
windings to ground. The magnetic force created in the armature combined with that created in the field
windingsbegins to turn the armature.
The gear cut on the drive end of the armature shaft extends through the gear housing, where it is
supported by a roller bearing. The gear mates with the teeth of the reduction gear that drives the Bendix
shaft. The shaft is keyed to the reduction gear. The Bendix drive is held in position on the shaft by a
"spiral" pin. The shaft is supported in the gear housing by a closed end roller bearing.
When the armature turns the reduction gear, the Bendix drive pinion meshes with the starter drive gear
by inertia and action of the screw threads within the Bendix sleeve. A detent pin engagesin a notch in the
screw threads which prevents demeshing if the engine fails to start when the starting circuit is de-energized.
When the engine reaches a predetermined speed, centrifugal action forces the detent pin out of the
notch in the screw shaft and allows the pinion to demesh from the starter drive gear.
376 376
NOTE
If voltage loss is greater than the above limits, additional tests
should be made over each part of the circuit to locate the
high-resistanceconnections.
c. No lubrication is required on the starting motor except at the time of overhaul. Then lubricate
the entire shaft under Bendix Drive, fill grooves in armature shaft at drive end and pack gear box with 1.3
to 2.0 ounces of Lithium Soap Base Grease # 1925 Molytex "O" or equivalent.
d. The starting motor should be operated for a few seconds with the ignition switch off to make
sure that the pinion engages properly and that it turns freely without binding or excessivenoise. Then the
engine should be started two or three times to see that the pinion disengagesproperly when the starter
switch is released.
11-42. OVERHAUL OF STARTING MOTOR. If during the above inspection any indication of starting
motor difficulty is noted, the starting motor should be removed from the engine for cleaning and repair.
11-43. REMOVAL OF STARTING MOTOR. To remove the starting motor from the engine, first
disconnect the ground cable from the battery post to prevent short circuiting. Disconnect the lead from the
starting motor terminal; then take out the mounting bolts. The motor can then be lifted off and taken to
the bench for overhaul.
11-45. BRUSHES. Check the brushes to see that they slide freely in their holders and make full contact on
the commutator. If worn to half their original length or less, they should be replaced.
11-46. ARMATURE.
a. Check the commutator for uneven wear, excessiveglazingor evidenceof excessivearcing. If only
slightly dirty, glazed or discolored, the commutator can be cleaned with 00 or 000 sandpaper. If the
commutator is rough or worn, it should be turned in a lathe. (Refer to Figure 11-20.)The armature shaft
should be inspected for rough bearing surfaces and rough or damaged splines.
b. To test the armature for grounds, a set of test probes connected in series with a 110-volt light
should be used. Touch one probe to a commutator segment and the other to the armature core. If the test
lamp lights, the armature is grounded and should be replaced.
c. To test for shorted armature coils, a growler is used. (Refer to Figure 11-21.) The armature is
placed on the growler and slowly rotated by hand while a steel strip is held over the core so that it passes
over each armature core slot. If a coil is shorted, the steel strip willvibrate.
d. A quick check for opens can be made by inspecting the trailing edge (in direction of rotation) of
the commutator segments for excessive discoloration.This condition indicates an open circuit.

11-52. BENCHTESTS.
a. After the starting motor is reassembled, it should be tested to see that the no-load current at a
certain voltage is within specifications as given in Paragraph 11-54. To make this test, connect as shown in
Figure 11-23. If current is too high, check the bearing alignment and end play to make sure there is no
binding or interference. Two or three sharp raps on the frame with a rawhide hammer will often help to
align the bearingsand free the armature.
b. If no difficulty is indicated in the above test, a stall torque test may be made to see if the starting
motor is producing its rated cranking power. Make test connections as shown in Figure 11-24.
c. If torque and current are not within specifications, check the seating of the brushes and internal
connections for high resistance. If these checks are made and found to be in good order, replace frame and
field assemblyand retest starter.

voltages are not to specifications, replace the solenoid.
d. The procedures for checking the "Shower of Sparks" booster are as follows:
1. Check that the input voltage should be at least 13 volts. If not, make sure all circuit
connections are clean. Check circuit breakers and switches.
2. Check that both the retard and advance breakers are correctly timed.
3. Check that the magnetos are correctly timed to the engine.
4. Check that the vibrator is correctly adjusted internally.
5. Check that the vibrator should buzz while cranking the engine. The tone should change as
the magneto breakers open. If no buzzing, check input voltage; should be at least 13 volts. If tone doesn't
change, check wiring to the magneto.

11-58a. OPTIONAL NIGHT WORKING LIGHTS (Refer to Figure 11-25a.)
11-58b. DESCRIPTION OF NIGHT WORKING LIGHTS. The optional night working lights, housed in
modified fiberglasswing tips, consist of a semi-adjustable450 watt turn light mounted in theedge of each wing
tip and a retractable 600 watt main working light mounted in the bottom of each wing tip. The main working
lights provide light on the area ahead of the airplane whilethe turn lightsprovide light to both sides. The lights
are operated by power relayslocated in the wing tips and are controlled by switchesin the cockpit and on the
control stick. (Refer to Figure 11-25a.)
A switch panel for the lights, located below the left instrument panel, contains three rocker-type switches,
which also serve as circuit breakers, and two 3-position rocker switches. One rocker switch - circuit breaker
rated at 10amps activates the lamp switchingcircuits and the EXTEND-RETRACT circuits. the other two,
rated at 30 amps, supply power for the lights. The two 3-position switches control the position of the main
working lights.
The control stick grip for the first available night lighting option contains a sequencing trigger switch.
This switch alternates power between the main light and the turn light circuits each time it is pulled and
released. A second working light option is available which offers further individualcontrol of the turn lights
through momentary push buttons on the top and left side of the grip.
CAUTION
Do not operate the main or turn light on the ground for more than

readjusting, proceed as follows: Loosen the four attachment screwsat each corer of the detector plate. If
the stall warning horn has been coming on too early, slide the unit down. If the stall warning horn has been
coming on too late, move the detector up. Retighten the screwsafter making each adjustment
NOTE
NEVER TRY TO ADJUSTTHE DETECTORBY BENDINGTHE
TAB.
As a rule of thumb moving the tab 1/8 inch will change the speed the stall warning actuates by about 2
M.P.H.of indicated air speed.
CAUTION
The following flight test should be performed at a safe altitude.
Test the accuracy of the setting by flying the aircraft, noting the speed at which the warning horn
comes on and the speed at which the stall occurs. Power off stalls should be made at gross weight with flaps
up and with flaps down 30 degrees. Also, conduct power off stalls with no hopper load with flaps up and
with flaps down 30 degrees. Prior to stalling, decrease airspeed at approximately 1 M.P.H. per second. It
may be necessaryto make severalalternate adjustments and test flights before the desired setting is reached.
The stall warning horn should actuate at 5 to 10 M.P.H. ahead of the stall, under all conditions noted
above. The detector setting should be checked and adjusted as necessary whenever a wing or wing leading
edge is replaced or repaired, or if a new detector is installed. The detector should require no adjustment in
normal service.
11-77. DESCRIPTION. The switches are of the rocker type. The switch panel is located on the lower
right-hand instrument panel. The Magneto, Master, and Alternator Switches are mounted on the lower
left-hand instrument panel and are also of the rocker type. The circuit breakers are single hole mounting,
push button type with manual reset; they must be reset by the pilot whenever tripped.

13-1. HEATINGSYSTEM.
13-2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. (Refer to Figure 13-1.) Depending on the particular power
plant installed in the airplane the heating system will consist of either a heat exchanger baffle installed on
the exhaust crossover pipe of the PA-36-285, or a heat shroud installed around the right exhaust manifold
on the PA-36-300 andPA-36-375,with accompanying ducts, flapper valveand control assembly.
Ambient air enters the engine cowling and is directed to either the baffle on the exhaust crossover pipe
or the heat shroud on the manifold. Heated air is then routed through a duct to the cabin heat control box
assembly located at forward firewall, which contains a flapper valvecontrolled by a T-handle located in the
cockpit. When the valve is in the closed position, heated air is directed overboard through a duct running
from the cabin heat control box assembly.
13-3. VENTILATIONAND RAM AIR PRESSURIZATION.
13-4. DESCRIPTIONAND OPERATION. (Refer to Figure 13-1.)The cabin ventilation system serves two
purposes: Pressurization of the cabin and fuselage to help prevent dust and toxi fumes from entering the
aircraft and ventilation for the pilot's comfort.
The pressurization and ventilation system is controlled by a sliding control handle located on the
cockpit ceiling. When the control handle is opened, pressurizingand ventilating air flows in through the
scoop on the canopy top thru a filter and into the cockpit forward and/or aft above the pilot's head. The
amount of air coming through each opening may be controlled by a diffuser assembly. Air also enters
through the vertical fin and enters the fuselageaft of the cockpit for pressurization.
13-5. VENTILATION AIR FILTER SERVICING. The ventilation air filter is located in the overhead
scoop assembly of the canopy and is removable from behind the headrest by pulling the filter assembly out
from the air chamber. Should the filter become clogged to the point of restricting good air flow it should be
replaced with a new one. Install the filter with the screennet towards the front of the airplane. Refer to the
PA-36 Parts Catalog for replacement part number.

part numbers for any replacement parts required.
14-4. HOPPER ASSEMBLY. The hopper is constructed of fiberglass,with main attachments to the upper
longerons near tubing intersections. The hopper has a large loading door, and its top forms the upper
aircraft skin in one piece from the fire wall to the windshield. There are two translucent windows with
marked graduations, one on each side of the hopper; these are used for gauginghopper capacity. Another
gauge in the rear (aft) portion of the hopper is visible to the pilot seated in the cockpit. A baffle is installed
in the hopper to add strength and to prevent sloshingaction.
NOTE
The maximum hopper load for the PA-36-285 and PA-36-300 is
1900Ibs. The maximum hopper load for the PA-36-375is 2200Ibs.
14-5. REMOVAL OF HOPPER. (Refer to Figure 14-1or 14-2.)To remove the hopper from the aircraft use
the following procedure:
a. Disconnect and remove all agricultural dispersal equipment, if installed (spray pump and lines,
boom assembly, or dry material spreader and agitator drive assembly).
b. Disconnect the subtank gate actuating rod at the subtank.
c. Remove the bottom fuselagepanels fore and aft of the subtank.
d. Remove the left and right front fuselageside panels and upper engine cowling.
e. If the spray system shutoff valve is installed, remove the cotter pin and disconnect the actuating
link.
f. Loosen the hose clampsat the bottom liquid inlet loading tube.
g. Remove the fasteners that attach the subtank to the hopper, and lower the subtank assembly
from the aircraft.
h. Remove the hopper mounting brackets (15).
i. Remove the fasteners that attach the vent tube (10) to the bottom fuselage; loosen the hose
clamp at the hopper and remove the vent tube assembly.
j. Disconnect and remove the wire deflector assemblyfrom the aircraft. (Refer to Paragraph 4-58.)
1. Remove the fasteners that attach the right and left assist handles (6) to the fuselageand remove
the handles.
m. Remove the attachment screws (11), (3), (4), and (5) that attach the top of the hopper to the
fuselage. Lift the hopper up through the fuselageand remove the hopper from the aircraft.
14-6. REPAIR OF HOPPER. An extensively damaged hopper should be replaced; however small damaged
areas such as cracks or punctures may be repaired. Repairs made to the hopper must restore at least the
original strength to the repaired area. The materials needed to make the repair are glass cloth (Burlington
Industries Style 3733), glass mat (Owens Coming No. M700) and polyester bonding resin. Use the following
procedure when makingrepairs:
a. Thoroughly clean the hopper, removing any toxic materials.
CAUTION
b. Cut and trim out all damaged material; round off all square corers in the opening, and chamfer
the opening on the inside edge of the hopper.
c. Sand the inside and outside surface of the hopper at least two inches beyond the damaged
opening.
d. Prepare a sufficient number of glass mat patches to restore the original thickness of the damaged
area. Cut the first patch to fit two inches beyond the camfered area, and each succeeding patch slightly
smaller. Cut a final patch of glass cloth that will completely overlap the other glassmat patches.
e. Prepare a mixture of polyester bonding resin according to the directions furnished.
f. Apply resin to the inside surface of the hopper on the camfered edge and two inches beyond the
opening. Position the first patch on the coated area, and apply additional patches in the same manner.
NOTE
Use sufficient resin to assure a resin-rich surface on the inside
surface of the hopper. Do not allow any fabric strands to protrude
through the resin surface.
g. Apply resin to the outside surface of the hopper repair and apply one layer of glasscloth using
the same procedure.
14-7. HOPPER BEDDINGTUBE REPLACEMENT.Hopper removal and replacement should not require
removal or replacement of the bedding tube assembly. However, if repair or rework of the hopper does not
allow the hopper to seat properly with full contact along the upper longeron in the bedding area, the
bedding tube assembly must be replaced. Usethe followingprocedure:
a. Make the bedding tube assemblyfrom polyester film. (Refer to Figure 14-3.)
b. Heat seal the tube using a temperature between 200°F and 300°F, pressure between 20 and 60
pounds per square inch, and time between 0.2 and 2.0 seconds.
c. Wax the inside of the upper longeron channel along the hopper sides with Blue Coral #275
preservativesealer. Buff with a clean soft rag when dry. Apply a second coat.
d. Blend together a bedding mixture of Polylite 33-005 resin and 1/4 inch milled glass fibers to a
consistency that will just hold its shape without flowing. The ratio of resin to glass will be approximately
90% resin and 10%milled glass fibers, by weight.
e. Add and mix thoroughly enough methylethylketone peroxide catalyst to give a minimum gel
time of 2 hours and a maximum gel time of 8 hours.
NOTE
Hopper installation must be completed before the bedding
mixture begins to gel.
f. Extrude a bead approximately 0.75 inch in diameter 17.00 ± .50 inch in length into the required
length of polyester tube. Seal the ends of the polyester tube as shown in Figure 14-3. Use special care to
insure that a minimum of air is trapped within the tube when the ends are sealed. Air bubbles must not be
larger than .25 inch diameter.
g. Work the bedding mixture into the center area of the polyester tube until the shape approximates
Figure 14-3. The bedding mixture should be evenly distributed in the center portion of the tube, with both
end portions flat and airless.
h. Attach the bedding tube assembly to the upper longerons with glass filament tape as shown in
Figure 14-3. The heat sealed edge of the polyester tube is to be inboard, with the inner edge of the seal
slightly below the tube horizontal centerline.
i. Lower the hopper into place, being careful not to tear or disturb the bedding tubes. Seat the
hopper firmly in place. Check the position of the hopper bottom flange to ensure that the mounting
bracket is properly located.
NOTE
Fire wall, Station 167, and all longeron attachments must be made
before the bedding mixture begins to gel.
j. The bedding mixture should be fully hardened after a reasonable length of time (2 to 5 days at
room temperature).
14-8. INSTALLATIONOF HOPPER. (Refer to Figure 14-1.) Before installing the hopper, inspect the
hopper bedding for damage, and replace if necessary, (Refer to Paragraph 14-7). Install the hopper as

14-9. LIQUID DISPERSALSYSTEM. (Refer to Figure 14-4.)
14-10. DESCRIPTION. The basic liquid dispersal system consists of a hopper, subtank, and emergency
dump gate. The other items that make up the available systems include the spray control valve, boom and
nozzle assemblies,and combination pressure and vacuum gauge. Figure 14-4and 14-4adisplay the two types
of systems offered.
The two spray systemsavailable are wind driven and hydraulicallydriven (availableon PA-36-375only).
Boom pressure in the wind driven system is primarilygoverned by airspeed and pitch of the blades. However,
with the hydraulic system, more positivecontrol of the boom pressure is attainable through engine RPM and
positive differential hydraulic pressure applied to a hydraulic motor directly connected to the spray pump
assembly.Hydraulic motor operating pressure is controlled bya needle valve in a bypassloop and is operated
with a push-pull control on the side of the cockpit. Hydraulic pressure is supplied by an engine driven pump
and is provided a constant fluid supply from a reservoir mounted on the firewall. To maintain an optimum
operating temperature a heat exchanger is also incorporated in the system.
14-11. PUMP ASSEMBLIES. Two basic types of pump assemblies are available, wind driven and
hydraulically driven.
- CAUTION -
Do not operatespraypumpswithoutliquid in the hopperas pump
seals may be damaged.
The wind-drivenspray pump assembly is an impeller type pump, pylon mounted forward of the hopper
subtank. The high volume spray system is equipped with a pump including a plastic fan blade which is
ground-adjustedfor pitch. The low and medium volume spray systems contain a birch wood fan blade which
is non-adjustable.A self-releasingpump brake is incorporated in the pump drive. Later models of this pump
contain an emergencyshutoff valveintegrally mounted on the input side of the pump. This emergencyshutoff
valve is operated by means of the same control which operated the "flap" shutoff valvein the subtank. which
it replaces. The pump and lines are easily removable as a unit.

b. If the entire spray pump and motor have been removed along with the mount proceed as follows:
I. Position the motor-spray unit mount and support panel on the bracket welded to the crossover
tube, and install the retaining bolts. Torque the nuts to the standard required torque as specified in Table II-
V.
2. With the spray pump and motor assemblyproperly assembled, connectthe unit to its support
mount via the adapter unit. Torque the bolts to their standard required torque as specified in Table II-V.
3. Remove the caps from the open hoses and tubing, and reconnect them to their proper fittings.
4. Check the fluid in the reservoir and using an automotive transmission fluid, Dexron II or
equivalent, add as required till the level reaches full mark on the cap probe. The capacity of the tank is
approximately 2 gallons or 8.5 liters.
5. Add at least 50 gallons of water to the hopper.
6. Start the engine and while operating it at idle for approximately 10min., periodically cycle the
system off and on, and occasionally reduce and increase the boom pressure.
-NOTE -
It may be necessaryto uncap the boom ends to allowpriming of the
spray pump.
7. Shut the engine down and inspect for leaks.
8. Check the fluid level in the reservoir and refill if necessary.
9. Reinstall belly and side panels.
10. Reconnect spray hoses.
14-12. REMOVAL OF HYDRAULIC PUMP. The hydraulic pump is located below and to the left of the
oil filter on the accessory housing. The pump is made accessibleby opening the right side engine cowling.
a. Disconnect the hydraulic lines from the pump. Cap the lines to prevent contamination.
b. Remove the pump by removing the pump attaching nuts and washers.
14-12a. INSTALLATION OF HYDRAULIC PUMP.
a. Place a new gasket into position on the engine.
b. Position the hydraulic pump over the gasket and secure with nuts and washers.Torque to 75 in.lbs.
c. Uncap the hydraulic lines and attach lines to pump.
d. Secure cowling.
14-14. ADJUSTMENT OF PUMP FAN BLADES. (Refer to Figure 14-6.) The high volume spray
systems equipped with plastic fan blades are ground-adjusted for pitch by turning the nut on the forward end
of the hub. Pitch indicator marks on the hub align with the forward edge of one of the blades. Maximum
pump output capability is achieved with the blades adjusted to the flattest pitch position which corresponds to
mark Number "2." Minimum or no pump rotation is achievedwith the bladesin the "F" position; the blades
are completely feathered in this position. (Refer to Paragraph 14-44 for additional information.)
CAUTION
Do not attempt to force the blades beyond the indicated pitch limits
or permanent damage may be incurred in the adjusting mechanism.
The optimum fan blade pitch position is one that providesa boom pressure slightly above the desired working
pressure, at working airspeed, with the spray valve full open. Refer to Operator's Manual for Pump
Operating Pressures. The birch wood blades on the low and medium volume spray systems are not ad-
justable.
14-15. FAN BRAKE CONTROL. (Refer to Figure 14-5.)The fan brake control is a manually operated
flexiblecable arrangement operated by a T-handle located in the right forward cockpit area. The brake is
engaged by pulling on the T-handle and then turning the handle until the ratchet mechanism is engaged. The
mechanism is self-adjusting, and subsequent positions of the T-handle when the brake is on will give an in-
dication of brake system wear. Repair is limited to the replacement of the cable assembly.

Figure 14-5. Air Driven Spray Pump and Control Valve Installation
14-16. EMERGENCY DUMP CONTROL. The subtank gate and control mechanism serves as an
emergency dump valve. The gate control handle operates forward to open and aft to close. A safety latch is
provided, and, when engaged, the stop override button must be pushed to initially unlatch the gate
mechanism. Refer to Paragraph 14-36 for gate adjustments. Gate travel stops (item 55 of Figure 14-12)
prevent the gate mechanism from travelingover center.
14-17. SPRAY CONTROL VALVE. The spray control valve is a three port, ball type valve with
recirculation flow, and an adjustable boom back-suction feature built into the closedposition. The valveis
mounted on the left side of the subtank and controlled manually from the cockpit.
CAUTION
Avoid depressing either button for more than the time necessaryto
normally operate the valve. If either push button is held down too
long, the motor may overheat and a thermal circuit breaker built
into the motor may be activated and break the electrical circuit.
This thermal circuit breaker will reset itself after a short period of
time. However, the valve will not operate during the time that the
circuit breaker is activated.
A pilot operated adjustable stop assemblyis used to control the spray valve open position,and thereby the
spray boom pressure, with wind driven pumps. This adjustable stop is located on the electric valve assembly
and is operated through a flexibleshaft connectedto a control knob mounted just forward of the power plant
controls. The adjustable stop can be moved only with the valve in the closed position. An indicator pin at the
cockpit control assemblyshows the position of the adjustablestop. It is suggestedthat calibration checks for
proper setting of this stop for desired spray output be conducted prior to any actual spraying operations.

that allows liquid chemicals to be loaded into the hopper from the fuselage sides. Three installations are
available: a left side, a right side and a dual installation. A flapper type check valve in the subtank prevents
fluid from draining back into the bottom loading tube.
The system should require little attention; however, if reason exists to remove the system, proceed as
follows:
a. Remove the fuselage side panels aft of the cockpit and the fuselage bottom panels aft of the
subtank.

f. Check all clamps for tightness, valvesfor proper operation, and system for leakage.
CAUTION
Ground loading equipment must not exceed 100 psi loading
pressure.
14-31. SPRAY SYSTEMSHUTOFF VALVE. (Refer to Figure 14-10.) The spray system shutoff valveis a
flapper type valve located at the spray pump inlet opening in the subtank. The valve is controlled by a
T-handle located in the cockpit, and when closed shuts off the flow of liquid to the spray pump. The valve
also serves to seal the pump inlet opening when the hopper is used for dry material.
Inspect the valve and control installation to be certain the valveis fully open when the control handle
is pushed downward against the console. Adjust the clevison the control linkage to obtain the correct valve
position.
14-31a. EMERGENCY SHUTOFF VALVE. (Refer to Figure 14-10.)The emergency shutoff valve replaces
the spray system shutoff valve described in paragraph 14-31. It is a spring-loaded sliding gate type valve
located on the inlet side of the pump assembly.The valveis controlled by the T-handle located in the cockpit,
and when closed shuts off the flow of liquid to the spray pump.
When spraying chemicals with high particulate concentration or the tendency to gum, be sure to clean the
shutoff valve thoroughly. Actuate the valve several times while flushing the system with water. If the spray
system has been inactive and allowed to dry out, check the valve operation prior to the resumption of spray
applications. Furthermore, check the valve for free operation during 100-hour inspections.
14-33. DESCRIPTION. The dry material dispersal system consists of a hopper, a subtank and gate control,
an agitator installation, and an adjustable dry material spreader.
The subtank gate controls the flow of dry materials from the hopper to the venturi type dry material
spreader. The gate is controlled manually from the cockpit and is latched into the closed position by the
over-center action of the mechanical linkage. A safety latch is also incorporated into the mechanism. The
agitator is contained within the subtank and is driven by an electric motor through a 90 gear reduction
box. The agitator is automatically activated by operation of the gate control handle. The dry material
spreader is an adjustable inlet, venturi type spreader. The forward portions of the internal vanes are
horizontally ground-adjustable, and the forward lower airfoil section is vertically ground-adjustable at the
forward end. Removabledeflector vanes are incorporated,on the upper surface of the spreader.
14-34. HOPPER. The same hopper application is used for the dry and liquid dispersal systems, however, a
38 cubic foot hopper is offered and designed primarily for dry materials. Refer to Paragraphs 14-5 and 14-8
for hopper removal and installation.

d. To remove the control handle assembly, it is necessaryto remove the rubber boot on the fuselage
bottom and remove the appropriate fuselage bottom panels to gain access to the handle and tube assembly.
e. Remove the bolt that attaches the handle to the tube; loosen the clamp on the rubber boot in the
cockpit, and pull the handle up through the stop assembly.
f. The tube assembly may be removed from the aircraft by removingthe bolts that attach the tube
to the frame. Carefully note the position and size of the washers in relation to the tube assembly to
facilitate reinstallation.
g. Clean and inspect parts for wear; pay particular attention to the condition of the rubber boot on
the fuselage bottom. A defective boot could allow chemicalsto enter the fuselage.
h. Reinstall the assemblyin reverse order of removal. Refer to Paragraph 14-36 for adjustments.
NOTE
End play in the tube assembly should not exceed .030 of an inch.
14-35a. REPLACEMENT OF SUBTANK GATE SEAL. (Refer to Figure 14-11.)
a. If the hopper gate seal (36, Figure 14-11)showssignsof being chewed,worn or damaged to such an
extent that would prevent a tight seal, it should be replaced.
b. Remove damaged seal(36) from hopper gate assembly(35).Care should be taken not to damage the
metal lips which secure the seal in place.
c. Carefullyclean all remnants of the old seal from the hopper gate assembly before proceeding.
d. Apply Permatex No. 5 to the surface of the sealwhich will mate with the surface of the hopper gate
assembly.
e. It is recommended that the outer edge of the seal be inserted first, at the same time taking care to
orient the corners of the seal with the four corners of the stainless steel retainer (37).
f. Press the inner edges of the seal under the edge of the stainless steel retainer (37).
g. Wipe off excess Permatex.
h. After installation of the seal, refer to paragraph 14-36for adjustment of the gate control.
14-36. ADJUSTMENT OF SUBTANK GATE AND CONTROL. (Refer to Figure 14-11 and 14-12). The
factory adjustment of the subtank gate is determined by liquid sealing requirements. The force required to lock
and seal the hopper gate should not exceed 30 pounds measured at the cockpit handle. Adjust the rod end on
the gate control rod to provide the required force. If the gate control handle rod end adjustment does not
suffice, continue with the following;
1. Make sure all contents are drained from the hopper and the spray system is flushed out.
2. Release the gate control handle such that the gate hangs open.
3. Disconnect the rod end from the fitting on the hinge-torque tube assembly.
4. Loosen the backup nuts on the hinge bolts and carefully push on the hinge links such that the
gate just comes in contact with the subtank flange.
5. With the gate held in position loosen or tighten the appropriate support nuts until the gate is
evenly seated on the subtank flange so that a piece of paper will just slide between them.
6. Tighten the backup to within a quarter turn after surface contact.
7. Push on the hinge links until they travel overcenter and lock the gate against the subtank
flange.
8. Reconnect the handle mechanism rod end bearing to the tube fitting and adjust the pull.
9. Fill the tank with water and check for leaks. If the water leaks around the seal, loosen the
backup nuts and turn each support nut one full turn only. Should there still be any leaks repeat this process
and upon reaching step 5, tighten the backup nuts one full turn each making sure the gate seats evenly. Now if
the gate leaks but only in one area, relieve the backup nut for that considered area and tighten the support nut
(not exceeding allowable torque valves) till the leak stops.
