General The Piper PA-32R-301 / 301T Saratoga Maintenance Manual is prepared in accordance with the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) Specification No. 2, with respect to the arrangement and content of the System/Chapters within the designated chapter-numbering system. – NOTE – Piper Aircraft Corporation expressly reserves the right to supersede, cancel and/or declare obsolete any part, part numbers, kits or publication that may be referenced in this manual with- out prior notice. – WARNING – USE ONLY GENUINE PIPER AIRCRAFT PARTS OR PIPER AIRCRAFT APPROVED PARTS OBTAINED FROM PIPER APPROVED SOURCES, IN CONNECTION WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF PIPER AIR- PLANES. Genuine PIPER parts are produced and inspected under rigorous procedures to insure airworthiness and suitability for use in PIPER airplane applications. Parts purchased from sources other than PIPER, even though identical in appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an airplane. Reworked, salvaged or those parts obtained from non-PIPER approved sources, which the service history is unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden damage, not discernible through routine visual or usual nondestructive testing . This may render the part, component or structural assembly, even though originally manufactured by PIPER AIRCRAFT unsuitable and unsafe for airplane use. PIPER AIRCRAFT expressly disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions, failures, damage or injury caused by use of non-PIPER approved parts. Any question concerning the care of your airplane, be sure to include the airplane serial number in any correspondence. PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL Introduction Page 1 Reissued: July 1, 1993 1A6 INTRODUCTION (cont.) B. Assignment of Subject Material The content of this publication is organized at three levels. The three levels are: 1. System/Chapter - The various groups are broken down into major systems such as Environmental Systems, Electrical Power, Landing Gear, etc. The systems are arranged more or less alphabeti- cally rather than by precedence or importance. They are assigned a number, which becomes the first element of the standardized numbering system. Thus, the element “28” of the number 28-40- 01 refers to the chapter “Fuel”. Everything concerning the fuel system will be covered in this chapter. 2. Sub-System/Section - The major systems/chapters of an airplane are broken down into subsys- tems. These sub-systems are identified by the second element of the standard numbering system. The element “40” of the number 28-40-01 concerns itself with the indicating section of the fuel system. 3. Unit/Subject - The individual units within a sub-system/section may be identified by the third ele- ment of the standard numbering system. The element “01” of the number 28-40-01 is a subject designator. This element is assigned at the option of the manufacturer and may or may not be used. C. Application Any publication conforming to the GAMA format will use the same basic numbering system. A per- son wishing information concerning the indication portion of the fuel system, would refer to the System/Chapter Tab 28-Fuel. The table of contents in the front of this chapter will provide a list of sub-systems covered in this chapter. For example, the fuel system chapter with a full index would contain: 28-00 General 28-10 Storage (Tanks, cells, necks, caps, etc.) 28-20 Distribution (Fuel lines, pumps, valves, controls, etc.) 28-30 Dump (If in-flight dumping system is installed) 28-40 Indicating (Quantity, temperature, pressure, etc.)

Effectivity The Log of Revisions following the title page of the manual is a record of the revisions that have been issued for the manual. PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL Introduction Page 2 Reissued: July 1, 1993 1A7 INTRODUCTION (cont.) E. Aerofiche The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) have developed specifications for micro- fiche reproduction of aircraft publications. The information compiled in this Aerofiche Maintenance Manual will be kept current by revisions distributed periodically. These revisions will supersede all previous revisions and will be complete Aerofiche card replacements and shall supersede Aerofiche cards of the same number in the set. Conversion of Aerofiche alpha/numeric code numbers: Example: 2J16 = Aerofiche card number two of a given set and grid location J16. First number “2” is the Aerofiche card number. Letter “J” is the horizontal line reference per card. Second number “16” is the vertical line reference per card. F. Identifying Revised Material A revision to a page is defined as any change to the printed matter that existed previously. Revisions, additions and deletions shall be identified by a vertical black line along the left-hand margin of the page opposite only that portion of the printed matter that was changed. A black line in the left-hand margin opposite the chapter/section/subject, page number and date, will indicate that the text was unchanged but the material was relocated to a different page. G.

Scheduled Maintenance 1. General Purpose Description Piper Inspection programs comply with the F.A.A. Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 43, 91 and 135. The owner/operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives and conformity with the requirements in FAR 91.169, 91.171 and 91.172. The inspection programs are set up in manual form and are available from the Piper Service Centers under Part Numbers 230 1045 (Periodic Inspection) and 761 737 (Progressive 50 Hour Inspection). Facts you should know: Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Instructions are sent to the registered owner of the affected aircraft. The registered owners name and address used on the Aircraft Registration Certificate is the name and address that Piper Aircraft uses to mail Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and P.O.H. Revisions. If the aircraft is based and/or operated at a different location and/or by persons other than those recorded on the aircraft registration, then it is the responsibility of the bonafide owner(s) to forward the above Bulletins and Letters to those locations or persons. Changes in aircraft registration may take a substantial amount of time to be recorded by the Federal Aviation Administration and received by Piper Aircraft to change the mailing address. Owners and operators should make arrangements to keep abreast of service releases during this interim period through their Piper Service Center. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) that apply to specific aircraft. They are mandatory changes and are to be complied within a time limit set by the FAA. When an AD is issued, it is sent to the latest registered owner of the affected aircraft and also to subscribers of the service. The owner should periodically check with his Piper Service Center or A & P mechanic to see whether he has the latest issued AD against his airplane. The owner is solely responsible for being aware of and complying with airworthiness directives. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper Considers Compliance mandatory. These are sent to the latest registered owners and Piper Service Centers. Service Letters deal with product improvements and service hints pertaining to the aircraft. They are sent to the Piper Service Center and directly to the owners so they can properly ser- vice the aircraft and keep it up to date with the latest changes. Owners should give careful attention to the Service Letter information PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL 5-20-00 Page 5-3 Reissued: July 1, 1993 1C8 A. Scheduled Maintenance (continued) 1. General Purpose Description (continued) Facts you should know: (continued) Service Spare Letters which are usually sent to Piper Service Centers, offer improved parts kits and optional equipment which were not available originally and which may be of interest to the owner. An owner should periodically check with a Piper Service Center to find out the latest informa- tion to keep his aircraft up to date. Piper Aircraft Corporation has a subscription service for the Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters. This service is offered to interested persons such as own- ers, pilots, and mechanics at a nominal fee and may be obtained through Piper Service Centers. Owners residing outside of the United States are urged to subscribe to this service since Piper cannot obtain the addresses of foreign owners. Service Product Support Manuals and revisions are available through Piper Service Centers.

(e) Inspection Time Limitations - Late compliance with the inspection interval of 100 hour may be extended by not more than ten (10) hours while enroute and for changing an inspection interval because of service experience. The time used to reach the next inspection facility must be deducted from the next inspection time. (f) Tests - Operation of aircraft components, appliances or systems to evaluate functional perfor- mance. PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL 5-20-00 Page 5-4 Reissued: July 1, 1993 1C9 A. Scheduled Maintenance (continued) 2. Definitions (continued): (g) Operation Test - This test is used to ascertain that a system component is in operable condition and can be performed with the equipment installed in the aircraft. In addition, each opera- tional test must be performed by an FAA Certified Repair Station appropriately rated or by a Certified Mechanic who is qualified on this aircraft. The recording of the above function must be made in the permanent aircraft records by the authorized individual performing the test. (h) Functional Test - This test is used to ascertain that system or component is functioning proper- ly and is in conformance with minimum acceptable design specifications. This test may require the use of supplemental bench test equipment. In addition, each functional test must be performed by an FAA Certified repair Station with appropriate ratings or by a Certified Mechanic who is qualified on this aircraft. The recording of the above function must be made in the permanent aircraft records by the authorized individual performing the test. (i) Bench Check - Means removal of component from the aircraft to inspect for cleanliness, impending failure, need for lubrication, repair or replacement of parts and calibration to at least the manufacturers specifications using the manufacturers recommended test equipment or standards or the equivalent. Each bench test will be performed by a Piper Service Center, FAA Certified Repair Station with appropriate rating or by a certified mechanic. This test will be performed at the sched- uled interval regardless of any bench test performed on a particular component while being repaired/overhauled before scheduled interval bench test. After the component is installed into the aircraft, an operational test of the component and its related system should be per- formed to ensure proper function. Serviceable parts that were issued to the component will be filed in the aircraft permanent records. The person performing the check must make appropri- ate entries in the aircraft’s permanent maintenance record. (j) Maintenance - The word maintenance as defined by FAR Part 1, means “inspection, overhaul, repair, preservation and the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive maintenance.” (k) Routine Inspections - Consists of a visual examination or check of the aircraft and its compo- nents and systems without disassembly.

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 seep- age 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. A.

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. 16. Refer to latest revision Piper Service Bulletin 586, Inspection and Replacement of Engine Oil Coolers. 17. Maintain cable tensions specified in chapter 27. 18. Inspect brushes every 100 hours on airplanes used for training or every 500 hours on airplanes used for normal service. 19. Refer to latest revision Piper Service Bulletin 619. 20. Refer and comply with latest Piper Service Bulletin 772. 21. Refer to Lycoming Service Bulletin 469. 22. Refer to VSP 69. 23. Complete vacuum system inspection of aircraft that incorporates the Auxiliary Vacuum Pump/ Motor Assembly (4A3-1), requires gaining access to under the floorboard of the right side of the forward baggage compartment, where this assembly is located. 24. The Airborne Auxiliary Vacuum Pump/Motor Assembly (4A3-1) must be removed from service and replaced at 500 hours of operating time as indicated on the elapsed time indicator, or 10 years of installed time in aircraft, whichever comes first. 25. Examine cables for broken strands by wiping them with a cloth for their entire length. Visually inspect the cable thoroughly for damage not detected by the cloth. Replace any damaged or frayed cables. Refer to the latest edition of FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1, Paragraph 198. 26. See latest revision of Piper Service Bulletin No. 856. 27. Refer to Flight Manual Supplement for preflight and flight check, for intended function in all models. 28. Sloshing of fuel tanks not approved. If tanks have been sloshed previously, refer to Chapter 28 for inspection procedure. 29. Check torque at forward and aft spar attach per Chapter 57, Figure 1. 30.

Station Reference Lines To locate various airplane components that require maintenance and servicing, a method utilizing fuselage station, wing station, buttock line and waterline designations is frequently employed in this manual . Fuselage stations (F.S.), wing station, (W.S.) buttock lines (B.L.), and water lines (W.L.) are reference points measured by inches in the vertical or horizontal direction from a given reference line which indicates station locations of structural members of the airplane. F.S. 0 is 78.4 inches ahead of the wing leading edge; B.L. 0 is the centerline of the airplane; and W.L. 0 is 20.5 inches below the cabin floor as measured at the rear wing spar with the airplane level. The reference datum line is located 78.4 inches ahead of the wing leading edge at the intersection of the straight and tapered section.

General Jacking the airplane is necessary to service the landing gear and other operations. The jacking operation can be performed by using tripod jacks; in other situations (emergency, post-accident lifting), slings ar airbags should be used. If wing or fuselage shoring is required, make sure the support is contoured to conform with the surface it is supporting. B. Jacking 1. Align jacks under the wing respective pads on the wing front spar. — CAUTION — Be sure to apply sufficient support ballast. Otherwise, the airplane will slip forward and fall on the fuselage nose section. 2. Attach a tail stand with approximately 300 pounds ballast to tail skid. — CAUTION — If the purpose for placing the airplane on jacks is to service the hydraulic system, the free-fall valve knob should be pulled full out from the instrument panel. 3. Carefully raise jacks until all three wheels are clear of the surface.

LEVELING All configurations of the airplane are provided with a means for longitudinal and lateral leveling. The airplane 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 1.) Place a spirit level on these screw heads and deflate the nose wheel tire or adjust the jacks until the bubble of the level is centered. (2) To laterally level the airplane, place a spirit level across the baggage compartment floor along the rear bulkhead (refer to Figure 1) and deflate the tire on the high side of the airplane or adjust either jack until the bubble of the level is centered.

Page - 1 Reissued: July 1, 1993 1E6 A TOWING — 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. When moving the aircraft forward by hand, avoid pushing on the trailing edge of the ailerons as this will cause the aileron contour to change resulting in an out-of-trim condition. The airplane may be moved by using the nose wheel steering bar that is stowed below the forward ledge of the rear baggage compartment or by using power equipment that will not damage or cause excess strain to the nose gear steering assembly. Tow bar engages front axle inside fork. 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. PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL 9-10-00 Page 9-1 Reissued: July 1, 1993 1E7 B. TAXIING Before attempting to taxi the airplane, ground personnel should be checked out by a qualified pilot or other responsible person. Engine starting and shutdown 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 propellers 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 an individual outside the airplane as an observer. 5. When taxiing on uneven ground, look for and avoid holes and ruts. 6. Do not operate the engine at high rpm during run up or taxiing over ground containing loose stones, gravel, or any loose material that may cause damage to the propeller blades.

Do not use slip knots. The airplane is moored to insure its immovability, protection, and security under various weather conditions. The following procedure gives the instructions for proper mooring of the airplane: (1) Head the airplane into the wind, if possible. (2) Block the wheels. (3) Lock the aileron and stabilator controls by looping the pilot’s seat belt around wheel. CAUTION When using rope constructed of non-synthetic material, leave sufficient slack to avoid damage to the airplane when the ropes contract due to moisture. (4) Secure tie-down ropes to the wing tie-down rings and the tail skid at approximately 45 degree angles to the ground. — NOTE — Additional preparations for high winds include using tie-down ropes from the landing gear f
