(PART NUMBER 230–1045)
 NOTES
1. Refer to the last card of the Piper Parts Price List - Aerofiche for a checklist of current revision dates to Piper inspection reports
and manuals.
2. All inspections or operations are required at each of the inspection intervals as indicated by a (O). Both the annual and 100 hour
inspections are complete inspections of the airplane, identical in scope, while the 500 and 1000 hour inspections are extensions
of the annual or 100 hour inspection, which require a detailed examination of the airplane, and overhaul or replacement of some
major components. Inspections must be accomplished by persons authorized by the FAA.
3. Piper service bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory.
4. Piper service letters are product improvements and service hints pertaining to servicing the airplane and should be given careful
attention.
5. Inspections given for the power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual (Lycoming Part No. 60297-10)
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. Intervals between oil changes can be increased as much as 100% on engines equipped with full flow cartridge type, oil filters
provided the element is replaced each 50 hours of operation. Refer to latest revision of Textron Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 480.
7. Replace at engine overhaul or 5 years, whichever comes first. (For engine overhaul, refer to latest revision of Lycoming Service
Letter L201 and Lycoming Service Instruction 1009.)
8. Replace flexible oil lines at engine TBO per latest revision Lycoming Service Bulletin 240 and latest revision of Lycoming
Service Letter L201B.
9. The compressor oil level should not be checked unless a freon leak has occurred, requiring an addition of freon to the system.
CAUTION: Environmental regulations may require special equipment and procedures be utilized when charging air
conditioning system with freon.
10. Clean any traces of oil from the clutch surface.
11. At every 400 hours of engine operation, remove the rocker box covers and check for freedom of valve rockers when valves are
closed. Look for evidence of abnormal wear or broken parts in the area of the valve tips, valve keepers, springs, and spring seats.
If any indications are found, the cylinder and all of its components must be removed (including the piston and connecting rod
assembly) and inspected for further damage. Replace any parts that do not conform with limits shown in the latest revision for
Lycoming Service Table of Limits SSP1776.
12. Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat indicated by burned paint on the cylinders. This condition is indicative of
internal damage to the cylinder and, if found, its cause must be determined and corrected before the airplane is returned to
service. Heavy discoloration and appearance of seepage at the cylinder head and barrel attachment area is usually due to
emission of thread lubricant used during assembly of the barrel at the factory, or by slight gas leakage which stops after the
cylinder has been in service for a while. This condition is neither harmful nor detrimental to engine performance and operation.
If it can be proven that leakage exceeds these conditions, the cylinder must be replaced.
13. Fly airplane to check landing gear system in accordance with instructions given in chapter 29, Operational Check of Retractable
Landing Gear System.
14. Replace flexible fuel supply hose and interconnect hose coupling at time of engine overhaul, or every five years, whichever
comes first.
15. Replace fuel tank vent line flexible connections as required, but no later than 1000 hours of service.
