The information presented in this manual has been divided into four parts, each consisting of six (6) sections. An index is located in the front of the manual and preceding each section to provide a quick reference. The information compiled in this manual will be kept current by revisions distributed to the manual owners through their local Piper Dealer or Distributor. REVISION There will be two (2) types of revisions used to keep this manual current. The material compiled in these revisions will consist of information necessary to maintain the present equipment, therefore, it is imperative that this material be inserted in the service manual at the time it is received. I. Temporary Revision This type revision will be distributed at anytime it is necessary to forward Technical Servicing Information to the field. The temporary revision will usually consist of one or two pages which may be inserted in the front of the manual. These revisions will include deletions and additions of material pertinent to dif- ferent paragraphs of the service manual, therefore, when the temporary revision is received, review the manual and mark the affected paragraph with the code date of the latest revision for a ready reference. II. Permanent Revision This type revision will supersede all previous temporary revisions. These revisions will be of complete page replacement and shall be inserted in the service manual as per the instructions given below. 1. Replace the obsolete pages with revised pages of the same page number. Issued: 8/25/72 V PIPER PITCH TRIM SERVICE MANUAL 2. Insert pages with page numbers followed by a small letter in direct sequence with the same common page number. 3. Insert pages with page numbers followed by a capital letter in direct sequence with the same common page number but after any pages with the same common page number followed by a small letter. III. Identification of Revised Material Revised text and illustrations shall be indicated by a black vertical line along the left hand margin of the page opposite the change. A line opposite the page number or section title and printing date will indicate that the text or ill- ustration was unchanged, but the material was relocated to a different page. Newly added material shall be identified by an arrow pointing toward either the text, text heading or illustration. When material is removed, an arrow will point away from the area from which the material was removed. Symbols will indicate only current revisions with changes and additions to or deletions of existing text and illustrations. Changes in capitalization, spell- ing, punctuation or the physical location of the material on the page will not be identified by symbols. vi Revised: 6/3/75 I PIPER PITCH TRIM SERVICE MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I P.E.T.
