The Cherokee Six is a six place (seventh seat optional), singlc-tngme, low-wing mono?lane of all-metal construstion. The following paragraphs provide descriptions of the major components and systzms. 1 3 . WING. The laminar .flow wing is of all-me tal stressed skin, full cantilever, low-wing desig:: consisting of two wing panels bolted to a spar box assembly in the fuselage. T h e wing tips are removable. The ailerons are cable and push rod controlled and are dynamically balanced. The trading edge wing flaps are manually operated. 1-5. EhlPEIWAGE. The empennage consists of the fin. stabilator. and stabilator t n m tabs. The stabilator is dynamically balanced. 1-6. FUSELAGE. T h e fuselage consists of three basic units: The engine section: the cabin section, and the sheet-metal tail cone. I 1-7. LANDING GEAR (PA-32-260 and PA-32-300). The tricycle landing gear is of the fixed type, consisting of a nose wheel and t w o main wheels. INTRODUCTION Revised: 7/28/75 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX SERVICE MANUAL 1-8. L h i D I N G GEAR (PA-32R-300). The tiicy cle landing gear is a hydraulically operatsd. fully retractable unit consisting of shock absorbing air-oil type oleo struts. 1-9. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (PA-32R-300). The hydraulic system incorporates an electrically driven pump which is controlled by a switch on the instrument panel whlch in turn operates the retraction and extension of the landing gear. 1-10. BRAKE SYSTEM. The brake system is operated hydraulically by toe brakes located on the rudder pedals or by a hand lever connected to a single brake cylinder below and behind the left center of the instrument panel. 1 - 1 1 .

All configurations of the airplane a r e provided with a means f o r longrudinal and lateral leveling. The airplane may be leveled while on jacks; during the weighlngprocedure whlle the wheels a r e on scales; o r w h l e the wheels a r e on the ground. To level the airplane f o r purposes of weighmg o r rigging, the following procedures may be used: a . To longitudinally level the airplane, partially withdraw the two leveling screu7s located immediately below the lefi front side window. (Refer to Fi-gure 2 - 6 . ) Place a spirit level on these s c r e w heads and deflate the nose wheel r i r e o r adjust the jacks until the bubble of the level i s centered. b . To laterally level the airplane, place a spirit level a c r o s s the baggage corn - parrment floor along the r e a r bulkhead (Refer t o Figure 2 - 7 . ) and deflate the t i r e on the hlgh side of the airplane o r adjust either jack until the bubble of the level i s centered. 2 - 14. MOORING. The airplane i s moored t o insure i t s immovability, protection and security under various weather conditions. The following procedure gives the instructions for proper mooring of the airplane. a. Head the airplane into the wind, if possible. b. Block the wheels. c. Secure the aileron and stabilator controls using the front seat belt or control surface blocks. d. Secure tie-down ropes t o the wing tie-down rings and the tail skid a t a p - proximately 45 degree angles to the ground. When using rope constructed of non - synthetic material, leave sufficient slack to avoid damage t o the airplane when the ropes contract due to moisture. HANDLING AND SERVICING Revised: 1 2 / 4 / 7 9 *PIPER CHEROKEE SIX SERVICE M A S U A L CAUTION Use square or bowline knots. Do n o t use slip knots. NOTE Additional preparations for high winds include using tie-down ropes on the landing gear forks and securing the rudder. e. Install pitot tube cover if available. I 2-15. LOCKING AIRPLANE. The right cabin door is provided withan outside key lock. The cabin door lock and forward baggage compartment d o o r lock have separate keys. 2-16. PARKING. When parking the airplane, ensure that it is sufficiently protected againsr adverse weather conditions and presents no danger t o other aircraft. When parking the airplane for any length of time o r overnight, i t is recommended that it be moored as in Paragraph 2- 14. a. Park the airplane headed into the wind, if possible. b. Set the parlung brake by pulling back the brake lever and depressing the knob attached to the left side of the handle. Then release the handle. T o release the parhng brakes, pull back on the brake lever t o disengage the catch mechanism. Then allow the handle t o swing forward. NOTE Care should be taken when setting brakes that are overheated o r during cold weather when accumulated moisture may freeze the brakes. I c. The aileron and stabilator controls may .be secured using the front seat belt. CAUTION When moving the aircraft forward by hand, avoid pushing o n the trailing edge of t h e ailerons as this will cause the aileron contour t o change resulting in a n out-of-trim condition.
