K. NOTES
1. Refer to Piper's Customer Service Information File (a free download from http://www.piper.com/home/pages/Publications.cfm) for latest revision dates
to Piper Inspection Reports/Manuals and the Seneca IV–V Maintenance Manual, P/N 761-888. References to Chapter/Section are to the appropriate
Chapter/Section in the maintenance manual.
WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS (ICA) FOR ALL NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT
INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL. WHEN A NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATION IS INCORPORATED ON THE AIRPLANE,
THOSE PORTIONS OF THE AIRPLANE AFFECTED BY THE INSTALLATION MUST BE INSPECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
ICA PUBLISHED BY THE OWNER OF THE STC. SINCE NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS
INTERFACE, OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENT LOADS OR STRESSES ON ADJACENT STRUCTURES, THE
PIPER PROVIDED ICA MAY NOT BE VALID FOR AIRPLANES SO MODIFIED.
2. Inspections or operations are to be performed as indicated by a “O” at the 50 or 100 hour inspection interval. Inspections or operations (i.e. -
component overhauls/replacements, etc.) required outside the 100 hour cycle are listed as special inspections in 5-30-00. Inspections must be
accomplished by persons authorized by the FAA.
(a) The 50 hour inspection accomplishes preventive maintenance, lubrication and servicing as well as inspecting critical components.
(b) The 100 hour inspection is a complete inspection of the airplane, identical to an annual inspection.
NOTE: A log book entry should be made upon completion of any inspections.
3. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. In all cases, see Service Bulletin/Service Letter Index
P/N 762-332 to verify latest revision.
4. Piper Service Letters are product improvements and service hints pertaining to servicing the airplane and should be given careful attention.
5. Inspections given for the power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s/maintenance manual (Seneca IV - X30553 or Seneca V -
X30645A) for this airplane. Any changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual shall supersede or supplement the inspections
outlined in this report.
6. Refer to latest revision of TCM Service Bulletins MSB94-8A, MSB96-10, SB-96-11, SB97-6, and SIL-98-9A.
7. For high altitude operations (12,000 feet and up), more frequent ignition system maintenance is required.
8. Refer to 55-20-00, for allowable rudder tab and trim free play.
9. In Seneca IVs and Seneca V S/N’s 3449001 thru 3449377, verify compliance with Piper Service Bulletin No. 1197A.
10. Refer to Pilot’s Operating Handbook for preflight and flight check, and for intended function in all modes.
11. Slick only: Use “E” gap method. Bendix only: Refer to latest revision of Bendix Service Bulletin 612 for inspection of Bendix magnetos and ignition
harness.
CAUTION: ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS MAY REQUIRE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES BE UTILIZED WHEN CHARGING
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.
12. Compressor oil level need not be checked unless a refrigerant leak has developed and recharging is required.
