(hereafter referred to as RHC) warrants each new helicopter to be free from defects in material and workmanship appearing within two years from the date of delivery from the RHC factory or during the first one thousand (1000) hours of operation, whichever event occurs first; provided, the aircraft has been subjected to normal use and service. This Warranty is limited to repair or replacement on an exchange basis, as selected by RHC, of any part, which upon examination by RHC is deemed to have been defective when the aircraft left the factory. A new warranty period is not established for parts replaced under the terms of this Warranty. Such replacement parts are warranted only for the remainder of the original warranty period. This Warranty shall not apply to any helicopter or part which has been repaired or altered outside the factory, and which, in RHC’s judgment, has affected the performance or reliability of the helicopter or part. This Warranty shall not apply to any helicopter or part which has been subject to corrosion, misuse, negligence or accident, nor to any parts normally replaced during routine maintenance, such as, air cleaners, skid shoes, rod end or spherical

bearings, light bulbs, etc. This Warranty shall not apply to any helicopter, which has been crated for shipping un- less such crating is performed by RHC. RHC is not responsible for the cost of shipping parts under the terms of this Warranty. However, RHC will credit the RHC Dealership, which sold and delivered the new helicopter to its original owner, with an allowance for labor performed by that Dealership for removing and reinstalling the defec- tive part. No credit will be issued for trouble-shooting. RHC makes no Warranty with respect to batteries, instruments, avionics or other trade accessories since they are usually warranted separately by their respective manufacturers. New aircraft are equipped with new engines which have a separate Lycoming limited warranty. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR MAIN & TAIL GEARBOXES In addition to the warranty specified above, an extended pro-rated warranty shall apply to the main and tail gear- boxes for the first 2200 hours of service or three years from the date of manufacture, whichever event occurs first. During this period, if a gearbox must be overhauled due to failure of a part which was defective when it left the factory, RHC will pro-rate the cost of the overhaul by dividing the hours in service by 2200 or the months in service by thirty-six (36), whichever fraction is greater. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS GIVEN AND ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR TRADE USAGE, THE REMEDIES OF THE BUYER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THOSE PROVIDED HEREIN. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE OF THE HELICOPTER, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER COSTS. Warranty adjustments with respect to any helicopter or parts manufactured by RHC will be made only upon compliance with the following procedure: (1) The defective part or assembly, together with a written Warranty Claim, must be returned to RHC not later than thirty (30) days after discovery of the defect nor more than thirty (30) days after expiration of the Warranty period. (2) RHC will, after inspection, determine whether the material or part was defective when it left the factory and will respond accordingly. Final determination of a Warranty adjustment rests with RHC. ROBINSON HELICOPTER COMPANY, INC. 2901 Airport Drive Effective 1 February 2003 Torrance, California 90505 U.S.A.

helicopters certificated on U.S. FAA Type Certificate H11NM. The R44 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) include the R44 Maintenance Manual (MM), R44 Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC), R44/R44 II Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), R44 Service Bulletins (SB), R44 Service Letters (SL), Lycoming O-540/IO-540 Operator’s Manuals, applicable Lycoming technical publications, and applicable component manufacturer technical publications. Service Bulletins are issued by Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC), Lycoming, and component manufacturers. Service Bulletin compliance is mandatory. RHC technical publications are available on our website, www.robinsonheli.com, under the Publications tab. Recent technical publications are available from Lycoming at www.lycoming.com, and from Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) at www.tcmlink.com. CAUTION Always read instructions completely before performing a task. 1.001 R44 Maintenance Manual Revisions Before using the R44 Maintenance Manual, verify it consists of effective pages. The list of effective pages is located in the Revision Log in Chapter 17. When a new manual is purchased, complete and submit the Subscription Service Form located in the Introduction. Subscription owners receive publication revisions for a one-year period. Renew subscriptions annually. The revision status for all RHC technical publications is available on our website, www.robinsonheli.com, under the Publications tab. 1.002 R44 Maintenance Authorization Only appropriately certificated mechanics who have successfully completed an R44 factory-sponsored maintenance course, or are under direct supervision of the above-stated mechanic, may perform maintenance, repairs, or inspections on the R44-series helicopter. Annual inspections of U.S.-registered light helicopters must be performed by holders of an Inspection Authorization (IA) or by repair stations certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The daily preflight and some preventive maintenance may be performed by the above-stated mechanics, or by the pilot/owner after receiving appropriate instruction in accordance with the R44/R44 II Pilot’s Operating Handbook and applicable aviation regulations. 1.003 R44 Component Overhaul Authorization Only appropriately certificated mechanics who have successfully completed an R44 factory- sponsored component overhaul course, and who possess special tools and technical data supplied by RHC, are authorized to disassemble and overhaul or repair major components as required by Chapter 3. JUN 2014 Page 1.1 1.004 Maintenance Record The Airframe Maintenance Record is available online at www.robinsonheli.com, under the Publications tab. Airframe Maintenance Record blank PDF forms may be used for R22-series, R44-series, and R66 Turbine helicopters. Component Record blank PDF forms may be used for life- limited or TBO components. Blank paper copies are available for purchase. A Component Record is a maintenance record of the removals, installations, or maintenance performed on a life-limited or TBO component. When a life-limited or TBO component is installed in the helicopter, the Component Record card is inserted in the Airframe Maintenance Record. When a life-limited or TBO component is removed from the helicopter, remove the Component Record card and keep the card with the Component. Major assemblies may contain one or more life-limited or TBO component. RHC encourages operators to utilize Component Record cards to assist in tracking time on interchangeable parts since service lives may be different between models. RHC does not create Component Record cards for spares, however, operators may create their own. RHC’s Repair Station does not require a Component Record card in order to perform work on a component, unlike a Component/Return Authorization form. If RHC’s Repair Station performs work on a component and the Component Record card is present, the Repair Station will date and make an entry on the card. RHC recommends using a toner-based laser, or a pigment-based inkjet, color printer and 65 lb white (96 bright) premium card stock for Maintenance Record or Component Record card production. Maintenance Record binders and tab sets are available separately. 1.005 Notations The following notations will be found throughout the manual: NOTE A NOTE provides emphasis or supplementary explanation. CAUTION Equipment damage can result if a CAUTION is not followed. WARNING Personal injury or death can result if a WARNING is not followed.

Some aircraft may require maintenance and inspections in addition to the requirements in Table 1. Consult aircraft maintenance records, Service Bulletins (SB), aviation regulations, Airworthiness Limitations, and Airworthiness Directives (AD) for applicability. Publications listed are subject to revision. Preventive maintenance is required between scheduled inspections. Fluid leaks, discoloration, fretting, galling, chafing, nicks, scratches, dents, cracks, and corrosion all warrant further investigation. Unairworthy items must be replaced or repaired as allowed by RHC. 1.105 Calibration of Tools The dimensions and tolerances given in this maintenance manual are critical. RHC recommends measuring tools be calibrated at least once a year. This includes torque wrenches, micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, spring scales, protractors and balancing equipment. WARNING Proper torque is critical. Always use calibrated wrenches and undamaged, properly lubricated (where applicable) hardware. Ensure all clamping surfaces are clean, and clamp only bare metal or wet-primed surfaces. Improper torque or dirty or painted clamping surfaces may result in loss of clamp-up, hardware or part damage, and premature failure. 1.110 Lubrication - General Most bearings in the R44 are sealed or self-lubricated and do not require periodic lubrication; bearings with specific lubrication intervals are noted in Table 1. Engine lubrication requirements are contained in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook, Lycoming Operator’s Manual and Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1014 (current revision). Main and tail rotor gearboxes require additional oil when indicated by sight plug reading. WARNING The only approved lubricant for use in the main rotor and tail rotor gearboxes is A257-2 lubricant. When a new or overhauled gearbox is installed, it must be drained and the chip detector inspected after the first 4 hours of flight or first chip light, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, change gearbox oil at intervals per Section 1.101. Additionally, change gearbox oil and clean sight glass whenever oil becomes so dirty that its level cannot be determined. JUN 2014 Page 1.3D 1.115 Chip Detector Cleaning During normal gearbox operation, an insulating film of varnish can accumulate on a chip detector’s magnetic probe and prevent gearbox chip warning light illumination. Clean chip detector by: 1. Remove and discard safety wire (if applicable) securing chip detector. Disconnect chip detector wiring at quick-disconnect located several inches from chip detector. For tail rotor gearbox, place container beneath to catch oil. Remove chip detector from gearbox. 2. Clean and scrub chip detector with a toothbrush and cleaning solvent, followed by drying with compressed air or a lint-free cloth. 3. Check chip detector circuit function by connecting chip detector electrical wiring, turning battery switch on, and grounding detector’s central magnetic probe to airframe. Verify appropriate gearbox chip warning light illuminates. Turn battery switch off. 4. Install chip detector. Torque threaded-type chip detector per Section 1.330 and safety wire. Ty-rap chip detector electrical wiring as required. 5. Turn on battery switch. Check chip detector circuit function by grounding detector’s center terminal and verifying appropriate gearbox chip warning light illuminates. Turn battery switch off. 1.120 Main Rotor Gearbox Drain And Flush To drain and flush main rotor gearbox: 1. Ground run helicopter two to five minutes at 60-70% RPM to warm main rotor gearbox oil. 2. Disconnect chip detector wiring at quick-disconnect located approximately 10 inches from chip detector. Cut safety wire securing chip detector to main rotor gearbox sump attach bolt (not applicable to quick-release chip detectors). 3. Remove chip detector. Do not remove chip detector housing. NOTE After removing chip detector, check for oil leaking from chip detector housing. Leakage indicates housing is defective and must be replaced. If leakage occurs, immediately install main rotor gearbox drain assembly to minimize oil spillage. Page 1.4 JUN 2014
