ARROW IV MAINTENANCE MANUAL CARD 1 OF 3 PA-28RT-201 ARROW IV PA-28RT-201T TURBO ARROW IV PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION (PART NUMBER 761 694) 1A1 Courtesy of Bomar Flying Service www.bomar.biz INTRODUCTION. This PIPER AIRCRAFT Maintenance Manual is prepared in accordance with the GAMA (General Aviation Manufacturers Association) format. This maintenance manual is divided into various Groups which enable a broad separation of contents (Chapters) within each group. The various Chapters are broken down into major systems such as Electrical Power, Flight Controls, Fuel, Landing Gear, etc. The System/Chapters are arranged more or less alphabetically rather than by precedence or importance. All System/Chapters are assigned a number, which becomes the first element of a standardized numbering system. Thus the element “32” of the number series 32-00-00 refers to the System/Chapter on “Landing Gear.” All information pertaining to the landing gear will be covered in this System/Chapter. The major System/Chapters are then broken down into Sub-System/Sections. These sections are identified by the second element of the standardized numbering system. The number “40” of the basic number series 32- 40-00 is for the “Wheels and Brakes” portion of the landing gear. The individual units within a Sub-System/Section may be identified by a third element of the standardized numbering system, such as 32-40-0l. This number could be assigned by the manufacturer to fit the coverage requirements of the publication. Example: This manual does not contain hardware callouts for installation. Hardware callouts are only indicated where a special application is required. To confirm the correct hardware used, refer to the PA-28RT-201/201T Parts Catalog P/N 761 693, and FAR 43 for proper utilization.

Refer to the last card of the Piper parts price list - Aerofiche, for a check list of current revision dates to Piper inspection reports and manuals. 2. All inspections or operations are required at each inspection interval as indicated by a (O). Both the annual and 100 hour inspections are complete inspections of the airplane, identical in scope, while both the 500 and 1000 hour inspections are extensions of the annual or 100 hour inspections, which require a more 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 Lycoming power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual (Lycoming Part No. 60297- 12) for this airplane, dated August 1973. Any changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual after this date supersede or supplement the inspection outlined in this report. 6. Inspections given for the Continental power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual (Continental Part No. X-30512) for this airplane, dated June 1976. Any changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operator ’s manual after this date shall supersede or supplement the inspection outlined in this report. 7. Replace or overhaul as required or at engine overhaul. For engine overhaul, refer to one of the following: latest revision of Lycoming Service Letter L201, for recommended engine overhaul period, or latest revision of Continental Service Bulletin No. M74-20, for recommended engine overhaul period. 8. Replace flexible oil lines as required, but no later than 1000 hours of service. 9. Check throttle body attaching screws for tightness; the correct torque for these screws is 40 to 50 inch- pounds. 10. Rotate spark plugs from upper to lower positions and vice versa to lengthen plug life. 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 keeper, springs and spring seat. If any indications are found, the cylinder and all of its components should 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 No. SSP-1776. 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 aircraft is returned to service. Heavy discoloration and appearance of seepage at the cylinder head 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 awhile. This condition is neither harmful nor detrimental to engine performance and operation. If it can be proven that leakage exceeds these conditions, the cylinder should be replaced. 13. If the altimeter is damaged, defective, or inaccurate, work must be done by an FAA approved instrument repair facility only, and a logbook entry made. 14. Refer to latest revision of Continental Motors Service Bulletin M73-19. 15. The compressor oil level should not be checked unless a Freon leak has occurred which requires an addition of Freon to the system. 5-20-01 Page 5-13 Interim Revision: September 21, 19861B12 PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28RT-201 / 201T MAINTENANCE MANUAL PERIODIC INSPECTIONS (cont) NOTES (cont): 16.

The airplanes are provided with a means for longitudinal and lateral leveling. The airplanes may be leveled while on jacks, during the weighing procedure while the wheels are on scales, or while the wheels are on the ground. To level the airplane for purposes of weighing or rigging, the following procedures may be used: 1. To longitudinally level the airplane, partially withdraw the two leveling screws located immediately below the left front side window. (Refer to Figure 8-1.) Place a level on these screw heads and adjust the jacks until the level is centered. Should the airplane be either on scales or on the floor, first block the main gear oleos to full extension; then deflate the nose wheel until the proper position is reached. 2. To laterally level the airplane, place a level across the spar box assembly located under the rear seat. (Refer to Figure 8-2.) Raise or lower one wing tip by deflating the appropriate tire on the high side of the airplane or adjust either jack until the bubble of the level is centered. WEIGHING. (Refer to Figure 8-3.) The airplane may be weighed by the following procedure: 1. Position a scale and ramp in front of each of the three wheels. 2. Secure the scales from rolling forward and tow the airplane up onto the scales. 3. Remove the ramp so as not to interfere with the scales. 4. If the airplane is to be weighed for weight and balance computations, level the airplane per instructions given in Paragraph titled Leveling. —END— 8-20-01 Page 8-01 December 1, 19781C11 PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28RT-201 / 201T * MAINTENANCE MANUAL Figure 8-1.

The airplane may be moved by using the nose wheel steering bar that is stowed in the baggage area or power equipment that will not damage or cause excess strain to the nose gear steering assembly. The stem on the bar is inserted in the hollow of the nose wheel axle at its right side. —CAUTION— When towing with power equipment, do not turn the nose gear in either direction beyond its steering radius limits as this will result in damage to the nose gear and steering mechanism. In the event towing lines are necessary, lines (rope) should be attached to both main gear struts as high up on the tubes as possible. Lines should be long enough to clear the nose and/or tail by not less than 15 feet, and a qualified person to ride in the pilot’s seat to maintain control by use of the brakes. 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: 1. Taxi forward a few feet and apply brakes to determine their effectiveness. 2. Taxi with propeller set in low pitch, high RPM setting. 3. While taxiing, make slight turns to ascertain the effectiveness of steering. 4. Observe wing clearances when taxiing near buildings or other stationary objects. If possible, station a guide outside the airplane to observe. 5. When taxiing on uneven ground, avoid holes and ruts. 6. Do not operate the engine at 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. —END— 9-20-01 Page 9-01 December 1, 19781C16 PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28RT-201 / 201T *MAINTENANCE MANUAL THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 1C17 PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28RT-201 / 201T MAINTENANCE MANUAL CHAPTER PARKING AND MOORING 1C18 CHAPTER 10 - PARKING AND MOORING TABLE OF CONTENTS/EFFECTIVITY CHAPTER SECTION GRID SUBJECT SUBJECT NO.

At intervals of 50-hours or 90 days, whichever comes first, clean the fuel strainer screen, located in the fuel bowl mounted on the lower left side of the firewall, and clean the screen in the inlet side of the injector. Remove and clean the fuel strainer screen in accordance with the instructions outlined in Chapter 28. Additional fuel system service information may also be found in Chapter 28. Inspection intervals of the various fuel system components may be found in Chapter 5. FILLING FUEL TANKS. Observe all required precautions for handling gasoline. Fill the fuel tanks with the fuel as specified on the placard adjacent to the filler neck. Each wing tank has a capacity of 38-1/2 U.S. gallons, for a total capacity of 77 U.S. gallons. Five U.S. gallons are considered unusable fuel. FUEL ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE. This aircraft is approved for operation with a fuel anti-icing additive. The anti-icing additive used must meet specification MIL-1-27686 and must be uniformly blended with the fuel while refueling. The additive must not exceed .15% by volume of the refueled quantity and to ensure its effectiveness should be blended at not less than .10% by volume (approximately 1 1/2 liquid ozs. per ten gallons of fuel). A blender supplied by the additive manufacturer should be used. Except for the information contained in this section, the manufacturer’s mixing or blending instructions should be carefully followed. 12-10-04 Page 12-03 Revised: November 6, 19791D10 PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28RT-201 / 201T *MAINTENANCE MANUAL —CAUTION— Assure that the additive is directed into the flowing fuel stream. The additive flow should start after and stop before the fuel flow. Do not permit the concentrated additive to come in contact with the aircraft painted surfaces or the interior surfaces of the fuel tanks. Some fuels have anti-icing additives pre-blended in the fuel at the refinery so no further blending should be performed. Fuel additive cannot be used as a substitute for preflight draining of the fuel system drains. DRAINING MOISTURE FROM FUEL SYSTEM. The fuel tanks and fuel strainer should be drained daily prior to first flight and after refueling to avoid the accumulation of water or sediment. Each fuel tank is equipped with an individual quick drain located at the lower inboard rear corner of the tank. The fuel strainer with a quick drain valve (refer to Figure 12-3) is located on the lower left side of the firewall. Drain fuel tanks and strainer per the following: 1. Drain each tank through its individual quick drain located at the lower inboard rear corner of the tank, making sure that enough fuel has been drained to insure that all water and sediment is removed. 2. Place a container under the fuel strainer drain. Drain the fuel strainer by opening the quick drain on the strainer. 3. Examine the contents of the container placed under the fuel strainer drain for water and sediment and dispose of the contents. —CAUTION— When draining any amount of fuel, care should be taken to insure that no fire hazard exists before starting engine. DRAINING FUEL SYSTEM. Fuel may be drained from the system by opening the valve at the inboard end of each fuel tank. The drain valve requires the drain cup pin to hold valve open. The remaining fuel in the system may be drained through the filter bowl. Any individual tank may be drained by closing the selector valve and then draining as desired. SERVICING OIL SYSTEM. The engine oil level should be checked before each flight and changed after each 100 hours of engine operation. During oil change the oil screen(s) should be removed and cleaned, and the oil filter cartridge replaced. Replace oil filter at 50-hour intervals. Use a quality brand aviation grade oil of the proper season viscosity. For information on the use of detergent oil, on the PA-28RT-201 airplanes refer to Application of Oil and/or latest revision Lycoming Service Instruction Letter 1014. Detergent oil that meets Continental Motors Corporation Specification MHS-24, is the only recommended lubricating oil for the PA-28RT-201T airplanes. 12-10-07 Page 12-04 Revised: July 24, 1981 1D11 PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28RT-201 / 201T *MAINTENANCE MANUAL —CAUTION— Do not introduce any trade additive to the basic lubricant unless recommended by the engine manufacturer. FILLING OIL SUMP. The oil sump should normally be filled with oil to the mark on the engine dipstick. The quantity of oil required for the engines may be found in Chapter 6. The specified grade of oil may be found in the Lubrication Chart, or on the access door. To service the engine with oil, open the access door and remove the oil filler cap. DRAINING OIL SUMP. To drain the oil sump, provide a suitable container with a minimum capacity of that required to fill the sump. Remove the engine cowl and on PA-28 RT-201 airplanes open the oil drain valve by pushing the center of the drain up and turning counterclockwise. This will hold the drain in the open position. On PA-28RT-201T airplanes remove the fuel drain probe from the clip on the right rear engine baffle
