HANDLING AND SERVICING
2-l. INTRODUCTION. This section contains routine handling and servicing procedures that are most
frequently encountered. Frequent reference to this section will aid the individual by providing information
such as the location of various components, ground handling procedures, routine service procedures and
lubrication. When any system or component requires service other than the routine procedures as outlined in
this section, refer to the appropriate section for that component.
2-2. DIMENSIONS. The principal airplane dimensions are shown in Figure 2-1 for the PA-31T and
PA-31Tl and in Figure 2-2 dimensions are shown for the PA-31T2.
2-3. SERIAL NUMBER PLATES. The serial number plate for the airplane is located near the tail skid. The
MAA plate is located under the lower front corner of the entrance door. The engine number plates are located
on the left rear side of the engines on the accessory case.
2-4. WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA. When figuring various weight and balance computations the
weight and empty weight center of gravity of the airplane may be found in the Weight and Balance Form of the
Airplane Flight Manual.
2-5. STATION REFERENCE LINES. In order to facilitate the location of various components of the
airplane which require maintenance and servicing, a method utilizing fuselage station, wing station or buttock
line (BL), and water line (WL) designations is frequently employed in this manual. (Refer to Figure 2-3.)
Fuselage stations, buttock lines, and water lines 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. Station 0 of the fuselage on the PA-31T and PA-31TI is 16.50 aft of the nose and 40.50 for the
PA-31 T2. Station 0 (BL) of the wing, horizontal stabilizer and elevator is the center line of the airplane; and
station 0 (WL) of the vertical stabilizer and rudder is 15.82 inches above the cabin floor with the airplane level.
The reference datum line is located at the main spar, fuselage station 137.
2-6. ACCESS AND INSPECTION PROVISIONS. The access and inspection provisions for the airplane
are shown in Figures 2-4 thru 2-6. The component to be serviced or inspected through each opening is assigned
an index number to identify it in the illustration. All access plates and panels are secured by either metal
fasteners or screws.
NOTE
Before removing any access plates or panels in the pressurized

portion of the fuselage, refer to Section IV to determine the sealing
requirement.
The floor panels may be removed by first removing the desired seats, then removing the carpet, thus
exposing the floor panel attachment screws. Carefully remove the floor panels so as not to damage the seals.
To enter the aft section of the fuselage, remove the access panels on either side of the fuselage aft to station 274.

2-7. TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT. Some special tools other than normal shop tools will be required to
service the aircraft. An illustrated list of tools required may be found in Figure 2-16 at the end of this section.
2-8. TORQUE REQUIREMENTS. The torque values given in Table II-II are derived from oil free
cadmium-plated threads and are recommended for all airframe installation procedures where torquing is
required, unless otherwise noted in sections where other values are stipulated. Engine torque values are found
in the latest revision of Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual (refer to Table II-VIII for
appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual), and propeller torque values are found in
Section VIII or Section VIII A of this manual. Table II-III lists the torque values for flared fittings of various
sizes and material.
NOTE
When flared fittings are being installed, ascertain that the male
threads are properly lubricated. Torque the fittings in accordance
with Table II-III.
CAUTION
Do not over torque fittings.

1B14
TABLE 11-11. RECOMMENDED NUT TORQUES
TORQUES: The importance of correct application cannot be overemphasized. Undertorque can result in
unnecessary wear of nuts and bolts as well as the parts they are holding together. When insufficient pressures
are applied. uneven loads will be transmitted throughout the assembly which may result in excessive wear or
premature failure due to fatigue. Overtorque can be equally damaging because of failure of a bolt or nut from
overstressing the thread areas. The following procedures should be followed to assure that the correct torque is
applied:
I. Torque (self-locking fasteners)- Add the friction torque from Chart A for sizes 8 through 71 16 to
the recommended torque from Chart B to get the final torque. This would be the actual reading on
the torque wrench.
2. Torque (castellated and non-self-locking nuts) -Use only the torque given in Chart B. Unless
otherwise specified, when castellated nuts are used with a cotter pin on movingjoints, do not torque
the nut. Turn the nut onto the bolt until proper grip is established and alignment with the cotter pin
hole is achieved. Then install the cotter pin.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
I. Calibrate the torque wrench periodically to assure accuracy: recheck frequently.
2. Ascertain that the bolt and nut threads are clean and dry (unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer). If the bolt or nut is specified to be lubricated prior to tightening, the torque range
should be reduced 50 percent.
3. Use a bolt length long enough to prevent bearing loads on the threads. The complete chamfer or end
radius of the bolt or screw must extend through the nut.
4. Unique torques specified in the text of this manual supersede the torques given in Charts A and B.
5. Refer to the latest revision of the appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual for
torques on parts used on engines.
6. A maximum of two AN960 washers may be added under the bolt heads or nuts to correct for
variations in material thickness within the tolerances permitted.
7. Limitations of the use of self-locking nuts, bolts and screws including fasteners with non-metallic
inserts are as follows:
A. Fasteners incorporating self-locking devices shall not be reused if they can be run up using only
fingers. They may be reused if hand tools are required to run them up, providing there is no
obvious damage to the self-locking device prior to installation.
B. Bolts 51 16 inch diameter and over with cotter pin holes may be used with self-locking nuts.
Nuts with non-metallic locking devices may be used in this application only if the bolts are free
from burrs around the cotter pin hole.
C. Do not use self-locking nuts at joints which subject either the nut or the bolt to rotation.
D. Never tap or rethread self-locking fasteners. Do not use nuts, bolts or screws with damaged
threads or rough ends.

2-9. GROUND HANDLING.
2-10. INTRODUCTION TO GROUND HANDLING. Ground handling covers all essential information
governing the handling of the airplane while on the ground. This includes jacking, weighing, leveling;
mooring, parking, towing and taxiing. When the airplane is handled in the manner described in the
following paragraphs, damage to the airplane and its equipment will be prevented.
2-11. JACKING. The airplane is provided with a jacking pad on each main spar just outboard of the engine
nacelle and a support position by making use of the tail skid. (Refer to Figure 2-7.) To jack the airplane.
proceed as follows:
a. Place the jacks under the jack pads.
b. Attach the tail support to the tail skid. Place a minimum of 500 pounds of ballast on the support
to hold the tail down.
CAUTION
Be sure to apply sufficient tail support ballast: otherwise, the air-

plane will tip forward and fall on the fuselage nose section. Do not
allow side loads to be applied to the tail skid.
c. Raise the jacks evenly until all three wheels clear the floor.
1B18
1339
Figure 2-8. Weighing Configuration (Typical)
2-12. WEIGHING. (Refer to Figure 2-8.) The airplane may be weighed by the following procedure:
a. Position a scale and ramp in front of each of the three wheels.
b. Secure the scales from rolling forward and tow the airplane up onto the scales. (Refer to Towing,
Paragraph 2-16.)
c. Remove the ramp so as not to interfere ~ith the scales.
d. If the airplane is to be weighed for weight and balance computations, level the airplane per
instructions given in Paragrap.h 2-13.
2-13. 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 weighing or rigging, the following
procedures may be used:
a. To longitudinally level the airplane, partially withdraw the two leveling screws located on the
right side of the fuselage nose section at station 48.35 and 80.25. (Refer to Figure 2-9.) Place a spirit level
on these screw heads and adjust the jacks until the bubble of the level is centered.
b. To laterally level the airplane, piace a spirit level across the two center seat rails of the cabin
(Refer to Figure 2-9) and deflate the tire on the high side of the airplane or adjust either jack until the
bubble of the level is centered.

2-14. MOORING. 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:
a. Head the airplane into the wind, if possible.
b. Block the wheels.
c. Secure tie-down ropes to the wing tie-down rings and the tail skid at approximately 45 degree
angles to the ground. When using rope constructed of nonsynthetic material, leave sufficient slack to avoid
damage to the airplane when the ropes contract due to moisture.
CAUTION
Use square or bowline knots. Do not use slip knots.
NOTE
Additional preparations for high winds include using tie-down

ropes from the landing gear forks, and securing the rudder.
d. Install pitot tube cover(s) and engine inlet and exhaust covers. (Refer to Figure 2-15.) Restrain
the propeller to prevent windmilling.
1B20
2-15. PARKING. When parking the airplane, insure that it is sufficiently protected against adverse weather
conditions and presents no danger to other aircraft. When parking the airplane for any length oftime or over-
night, it is recommended that it be moored as in Paragraph 2-14.
a. To park the airplane, head it into the wind, if possible.
b. Set the parking brake by applying toe pressure against the top of the rudder pedals and at the
same time pull out on the brake handle. To release the parking brake, apply toe pressure on the pedals and
push in on the parking brake handle.
NOTE
Care should be taken when setting brakes that are very hot or
during cold weather when accumulated moisture may freeze the
brakes. Prior to setting the brakes, if either of the above
conditions exist, it is recommended that chocks be used to block
the wheels rather than setting brakes.
2-16. TOWING. The airplane may be moved by using power equipment that will not damage or cause
excess strain to the nose gear steering assembly. Towing lugs are incorporated as part of the nose gear fork.
To pull the airplane on a hard level surface, it will require approximately 100 pounds pull to start its
roll and approximately 60 pounds to maintain roll.
CAUTION
When towing, do not turn the nose gear in either direction beyond
its 40 degree arc from center as this will result in damage to the
nose gear and steering mechanism. A placard is installed on the
nose gear strut to indicate turn limits. (Refer to Figure 2-10.)
In the event towing lines are necessary, lines (rope) will be attached to both main gear swts just
below the side brace link attachments. 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 and
nose wheel steering.
2-17. TAXIING. Before attempting to taxi the airplane, ground personnel should be checked out by a
qualified pilot or other responsible person on the engine starting and shutdown procedures and any other
system functions which may be required to properly and safely move this airplane. When it is ascertained
that the propeller propwash and taxi areas are clear, apply power to start the taxi roll and perform the
following checks:
a. Taxi forward a few feet and apply brakes to determine their effectiveness.
b. Taxi with propellers set in low pitch, high RPM setting. Check for even prop reversing.
c. While taxiing, make slight turns to ascertain the effectiveness of the steering.
d. Observe wing clearance when taxiing near buildings. or other stationary objects. If possible,
station guides at each wing tip to observe.
e. When taxiing on uneven ground avoid any holes and ruts.
f. Do not operate the engines at high RPM when running or taxiing over ground containing loose
stones, gravel or any loose material that may cause damage to the propeller blades.

2-19. OPERATION OF EXTERNAL POWER RECEPTACLE. The external power receptacle is located
on the underside of the nose section below the forward side of the baggage compartment door. To avoid any
damage to the airplane's electrical system follow the instructions on the access door of the power receptacle.
NOTE
When using a ground power unit for external power starting and the
airplane's battery is nearly depleted the instructions given in Section
XI must be followed.
2-20. SERVICING.
2-21. GENERAL. Servicing the airplane includes the replenishment of fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, tire
pressures, oxygen, lubrication requirements and other items required to completely service the airplane.
2-22. FUEL SYSTEM.
2-23. SERVICING FUEL SYSTEM. The handling of turbine fuel as used in this airplane requires some
special attention and safety precautions which cannot be overly stated. There are several problems which
are not normally associated with aviation gasolines. One is entrained water or microscopic particles of free
water suspended in the fuel, another is microbial contaminants or micro-organisms which live and multiply
in the water interfaces of turbine fuel. Due to these problems turbine fuel requires good fuel hand ling
practices to assure that the airplane is serviced with clean fuel. The following steps should be used to minimize
the possible introduction of contaminants into the fuel system and maintain a clean condition within the fuel
cells:
a. Know the source (supplier) of the fuel to be .used, ascertain that it is properly stored and filtered as
it is passed from the storage area to the airplane.
b. Perform regular fuel filter inspections to determine if any sludge is present. (Microbial contami-
nation is visible as a slime or sludge which may vary in color, red, brown, gray or black.) Micro-organisms
have a tendency to mat and cause interference with fuel flow. Reference to FAA Manual AC65-9 Chapter 4
gives complete explanation on fuels and related problems.
c. It is very important to maintain a clean fuel system by periodically flushing the fuel cells to remove
any contaminants within.
d. After refueling the airplane, allow a three to four hour settling period whene'-:er possible, then
drain small amounts of fuel from each drain. The benefits of a settling period will be lost, unless the
accumulated comaminants within the fuel cells are drained before the airplane is moved and the fuel is dis-
turbed by the operation of the internal fuel pumps. To reduce the accumulation of condensation within the fuel
cells, it is suggested that the cells be maintained in a full condition as often as possible.
e. 111spection intervals of various fuel system components may be found in the particular Piper
Continuous Inspection Manual being used. Clean the filter elements in each fuel filter unit located on the
forward left side of each firewall. Remove and clean the filters in accordance with instructions outlined in
Section IX oft his service manual. Additional fuel system information may be found in Section IX. The various
Piper Continuous Inspection Manuals are listed in Section Ill of this manual.
2-24. FILLING FUEL CELLS. The fuel cells in each wing are filled through the nacelle tanks. Each wing
is topped off through a filler neck in each wing tip tank, if installed. Both nacelle fuel cells have individual
filler necks on top of each nacelle.

CAUTIONS
1. Do not open the nacelle filler caps with more than 2 inches
of fuel in the tip tanks. This would result in fuel spillage.
2. Always connect a static ground cable from the refueler to the
airplane. Keep all grounding connections clean, they should
never be allowed to become corroded or covered with paint
etc.
When refueling never leave the fuel nozzle unattended. When refueling has been completed, disconnect
the ground cable and insure that all filler caps are properly installed.
2-25. DRAINING MOISTURE FROM FUEL SYSTEM. To facilitate draining the fuel system filter bowls,
lines and fuel cells of moisture and foreign matter, drains are incorporated in the bottom of each filter
bowl, wing tip tank, if installed, main outboard fuel cell and main inboard fuel cell. The nacelle fuel cells
drain into the main fuel cells and thus do not have individual external drains.
a. To drain either fllter bowl, open the access door located on the left rear side of each engine cowl
and push down on the drain valve ann a few seconds. Allow enough fuel to flow each time to clear the fllter
bowl.
CAUTION
To prevent ramp surface contamination and possible fire damage,

immediately remove any fuel spilled on the ramp area etc.
b. To drain off water in the fuel cells, push up on the anns of each cell drain and anow fuel to flow
for a few seconds. There are three drains on the bottom of each wing, one for each tip tank, if installed, one
for each main outboard cell and one for each main inboard cell.
NOTE
To insure the removal of moisture from each fuel drain, allow the
fuel to settle if possible for three to four hours. Refer to Paragraph
2-23 step d.
2-26. DRAINING FUEL SYSTEM. The bulk of the fuel may be drained from the system by using a
suitable suction system with the hose placed down through the nacelle filler neck. The fuel may be drained
from the fuel filter bowls by activating the individual fllter drains. Each wing may be drained separately
providing the crossfeed valve is in the OFF position.

lCl
2-27. PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING BIOLOGICAL FUEL CONTAMINATION. Fuel svstem

contamination is more of a potential problem in a turbine fuel system than in fuel systems using aviation
gasoline, and the reason for this increase in potential is turbine fuels greater affinity for water. Micro-
organisms grow in the interface between the individual water droplets and the fuel. If there is no water in the
fuel there will be no place for these organisms to grow. Because the by-products by this form of
contamination will attach the metal components, it is imperative that the fuel system be kept clean and
periodically inspected to assure that the fuel system is free of water and any other foreign matter. In the event
that biological contamination is encountered, as evidenced by the presence of a red, brown, grey or black slime
in the aircrafts fuel tanks, lines, pumps and filters, all the systems components must be thoroughly cleaned
with the lowest octane aviation gasoline available. Proceed as follows:
a. Level the aircraft.
b. Defuel the affected wing(s).
NOTE
Use a container designed for use with contaminated fuel only.
CAUTION
Be sure to follow proper grounding procedures and safety

precautions.
c. Remove all sump drains on the affected side(s) and assure that all fuel has been removed.
d. Remove the bottom wing root fairing.
e. Remove the fuel cell and tank access covers on the wing upper surface.
f. Remove both boost pumps.
g. Remove cowling of affected engine(s).
h. Remove the firewall mounted fuel filter and the engine driven fuel pumps inlet and outlet filters.
Clean or replace as required.
1. Remove the heater filters and nozzle and clean or replace as required.
j. Clean all fuel filter bowls and housings with aviation gasoline and inspect these components for
signs of etching. If etching is discovered, replace the affected component.
k. Remove the access covers from the fuel cell or cells which require cleaning. Using Stoddard solvent
and a soft bristle brush scrub the affected cell or cells.
CAUTION
The brush should have a lanyard attached to it with the other end
attached to the person doing the cleaning, to prevent possibility
of leaving the brush within the cell.
A tack rag should be used to remove any particles of contamination left in the fuel cell. The same caution and
suggestions as stated above would apply to the use of the tack rag. Upan completion of the fuel cell cleaning
and insuring that no equipment is left within the fuel cell or cells, reinstall all the access covers removed.

1C2
1. With the lowest octane aviation gasoline available thoroughly flush all fuel cells, tanks, connecting
fuel lines and boost pumps.
m. Inspect all fuel cells, tanks, pumps and lines for evidence of deterioration. The micro-organisms will
attack the metal components, harm the fuel tank coating and then etch the underlying metal.
n. Reinstall both boost pumps and safety.
o. Reinstall all sump drains.
p. Reinstall the firewall mounted fuel filters bowl(s) without the filter elements.
q. Reinstall both filter elements and bowls on the engine driven fuel pump(s) and safety.
r. Flush the system in accordance with the following procedure:
I. Disconnect the fuel line between the fuel flow transmitter and engine driven fuel pump at the

2-28. BRAKE SYSTEM.
2-29. SERVICING BRAKE SYSTEM. The brake system incorporates a hydraulic fluid reservoir through
which the brake system is periodically serviced. Fluid is drawn from the reservoir by the brake master cylinders
to maintain the volume of fluid required for maximum braking efficiency. Spongy brake pedal action is often
an indication that the brake fluid reservoir is running low on fluid or air is in the system. Instructions for filling
the reservoir are given in Paragraph 2-30. When found necessary to accomplish repairs to any of the brake
system components or bleed the system, refer to the instructions given in Section VII. For inspection of brake
wear limits, refer to Section VII and the specific information for the affected B. F. Goodrich brake assembly.
2-30. FILLING BRAKE CYLINDER RESERVOIR. The brake cylinder reservoir should be filled to the
level marked on the dipstick with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid. The reservoir, located in the upper nose section
above the power pack shown in Figure 2-11, should be checked at every 50 hour inspection and replenished as
necessary. No adjustment of the brakes is necessary, though they should be checked periodically per
instructions given in Section VII.
2-31. DRAINING BRAKE SYSTEM. To drain the brake system, connect a hose to the bleeder fitting on the
brake housing and place the other end of the hose in a suitable container. Open the bleeder valve and slowly
pump the brake pedal until fluid ceases to flow. To clean the system, flush with denatured alcohol.
2-32. OLEO STRUTS.
2-33. SERVICING OLEO STRUTS. Air-oil shock struts are incorporated in each landing gear oleo
assembly to absorb the shock resulting from the impact of the wheels on the runway during landing. To obtain
proper oleo action, the nose and main gear oleo struts must have approximately 3.25 inches of piston tube
exposed, with the airplane setting on a level surface, under normal static loads. (Refer to Figure 2-12.)
NOTE
Normal static load is the empty weight of the airplane plus full fuel
and oil.

1C4
If a strut has less than the required inches exposed, determine whether it needs air or oil by rocking the
airplane. If the airplane settles to its normal position within one cycle after the rocking force is removed, the
oleo strut requires inflating (air). (Refer to Paragraph 2-36.) If the airplane continues to oscillate after the
rocking force is removed, the oleo struts requires filling (oil). (Refer to Paragraph 2-35.) For repairs to the gear
oleos, refer to Section VII of this manual.
WARNING
Do not release air by removing the strut valve core or filler plug.
Depress the valve core pin until strut pressure has diminished.
NOTE
Struts may be serviced and adjusted per placard on strut.
2-34. ADDING FLUID TO STRUTS. To add fluid to an oleo strut which is partly full, proceed as follows:
a. Place the airplane on jacks. (Refer to Paragraph 2-11.)
b. Place a pan under the gear to catch spillage.
c. Release the air in the oleo strut by pressing in on the air valve core pin.
d. Remove the air valve (filler plug). Allow valve core to remain in valve.
e. Extend the strut to two inches from the fully compressed position.
f. At the two inch extended position, fill the strut through the filler opening with MIL-H-5606 fluid.
g. Slowly compress the strut to the fully compressed position allowing fluid to overflow.
h. With oleo strut in the compressed position, reinstall air valve and safety.
i. Inflate the oleo struts with air to the required extension per instructions in Paragraph 2-36.
2-35. FILLING OLEO STRUTS. To fill an oleo strut which has been completely emptied because of repair
leakage, etc., proceed as follows:
a. Place the airplane on jacks. (Refer to Paragraph 2-11.)
b. Place a pan under the gear to catch spillage.
c. Remove valve core from air valve.
d. Attach a clear plastic tube to the valve stem and place the other end of ·the tube in a container of
hydraulic fluid as specified.
NOTE
An air-tight connection 'is necessary between the plastic tube and

valve stem. Without such a connection, a small amount of air will be
sucked into the oleo strut during each sequence, resulting in an
inordinate amount of air bubbles and a prolonged filling operation.
e. Extend the oleo strut by pulling down on the wheel. Fluid will be sucked into the oleo strut.
Compress and extend the oleo strut until it is full of fluid, and air bubbles cease to appear in the plastic tube.
f. Compress the oleo strut to within 114 inch of full compression, allowing the excess fluid to overflow.
g. With the oleo strut in the near compressed position, reinstall the valve core.
h. Remove the airplane from the jacks.
i. Inflate the oleo struts per instructions given in Paragraph 2-36.

1C5
2-36. INFLATING OLEO STRUTS. After making certain that an oleo strut has sufficient fluid, as described
in Paragraph 2-34, attach a strut pump to the air valve and pump up the oleo strut. The oleo struts should be
inflated until 3.25 inches of piston is exposed with normal static weight (Normal static weight is the empty
weight of the airplane plus full fuel and oil.) on the gear. Before capping the valve, check for valve core leakage.
2-37. LANDING GEAR.
2-38. SERVICING LANDING GEAR. The operation of the landing gear oleos is standard for the air-oil
type. The piston tube has a total travel of8.50 inches, and 3.25 inches of tube exposed under normal static load.
(Normal static load is the empty weight of the airplane plus full fuel and oil.) All major attachments and
actuating bearings are equipped with grease fittings for lubrication. Refer to Lubrication Chart.
2-39. TIRES.
2-40. SERVICING TIRES. The tires should be maintained at the pressure specified in Table II-I. When
checking tire pressure, examine the tires for wear, cuts, bruises and slippage.
2-40a. TIRE BALANCING. Proper balancing is critical for the life of the aircraft tires. If a new tire is
balanced upon installation it will usually remain balanced for the life of the tire without having any shimmy
or flat spots, and an inexpensive balancer can be made that will balance almost any tire for light aircraft. (Re-
fer to Paragraph 2-40b for fabrication instructions.) Balance the tire as follows:
a. Mount the tire and tube (if one is used) on the wheel, but do not install the securing bolts. Install
the wheel bearings in the wheel; then, using the -7 bushings, -6 spacers, and -5 nuts, install the wheel-tire
assembly on the -8 pipe. Secure the -5 nuts finger-tight so that the wheel halves touch each other. Be sure
the bolt holes are aligned! Insert the -4 axle through the -8 pipe and place the wheel in the center of the
balancer. Make sure the axle is only on the chamfered edges of the balancer and that it is at 900 to the sides
of the balancer.
b. Release the tire. If it is out of balance it will rotate, coming to rest with the heaviest point on the
bottom. Tape a 1/2 ounce patch across top center of the tire. Rotate the tire 45° and release it again. If the
tire returns to the same position, add a 1 ounce patch and again rotate the tire and release it. Continue this
procedure until the tire is balanced.
c. When balance is attained, put a chalk mark on the sidewall directly below the patch. Use one mark
for each half ounce of weight needed. Mark the valve stem location on the tire and the opposite wheel half to
assure reassembly in the same position .. Remove the wheel from the balance stand, break it down, and clean
the tire with toluol. Apply a coat of patch cement to both the patch and the inside center of the tire in line with
the chalk marks. When the cement has dried, install the patches making certain they are on the center line of
the tire and aligned with the chalk marks on the sidewall. Burnish the patches to remove trapped air, etc.
d. When reassembling the wheel, powder the inside of the tire. Mount the tire on the valve side of the
wheel in the same position it was in when it was balanced. Install the other wheel half, aligning the chalk
marks. Install the bolts and tighten to required torque, then air the tire and recheck the balance. The wheel
should not be more than 1/2 ounce out of balance.
2-40b. CONSTRUCTION OF TIRE BALANCER. (Refer to Figure 2-12a.)

a. The following instructions will help in building the balancer: chamfer top edges of -3 sides, leaving
1/ 16 inch flat on top inboard edge. Rivet -2 tee's to -3 sides using AN470-AD5 rivets 2" spacing. Use
AN426-AD5 rivets 2" center to center to secure -2 tee's to -1 base. If tee extrusion is unavailable, heavy angle
extrusion could be used; -3 sides must be paralled and vertical.
b. The -4 axle must slide through the -8 pipe. The -5 nuts were made by reaming the existing threads
in the AN365-624 nuts with an R drill, then tapping with a 1/8-27 pipe tap.
c. The -6 spacers were made from 1I 2 inch aluminum tubing. The two lengths of spacers are suitable
for balancing most any aircraft wheel.

2-41. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
2-42. SERVICING HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM. The fluid level in the brake reservoir should be
checked in accordance with the particular Inspection Manual being used. Access to the reservoir is through
the access door on the upper right portion of the nose section. If the fluid level is low, it should be filled with
filtered hydraulic fluid MIL-H-5606 only.
2-43. SERVICING HYDRAULIC POWER PACK. The hydraulic power pack reservoir fluid level should
be checked in accordance with the particular Inspection Manual being used and filled as necessary whenever
the fluid level in the reservoir is low. Special filling and draining service hookup has been installed just inside
the right fuselage access panel of the nose section. A pressure pot or hydraulic test unit can be connected to
this installation by removing the access panel and the protective cap on the suction, fill and drain fitting.
Connect the fluid supply line from the supply source to the fitting: then raise the lever to open the valve and
proceed to fill the reservoir. To gravity fill the reservoir. support the supply container of hydraulic fluid higher
than the fluid level in the power pack reservoir. The reservoir is full when fluid is visible through the sight
gauge or when the fluid reaches the full line on the transparent type reservoirs. Be sure to close the suction. fill
and drain valve by placing the lever in the down position before disconnecting the supply line from the fitting.
Reinstall the protective cap on the fitting and install the access panel.

1C7
2-44. PROPELLER.
2-45. SERVICING PROPELLER. The blades should be checked periodically for damage. Minor nicks in

2-48. LUBRICATION SYSTEM (ENGINE).
2-49. SERVICING LUBRICATION SYSTEM. The engine oil level should be checked within 10 minutes
after engine shutdown. If the engine has been stationary for a period of twelve hours or more, it should be
started and run at idle for a minimum of two minutes: then shut down and check oil level.
NOTE
If the engine has been stationary for more than 10 minutes before
checking oil level, a dry motoring run must be performed.
For engines operated in corporate or utility ai.rcraft with a typical utilization of 50 hours per month or
less, it is recommended that the oil be changed every 400 hours or 9 months, whichever occurs first. For
engines operated in high utilization commuter airline type operation, a basic oil change period of 800 hours for
7-1 l 2 centistokes, or 1200 hours for a 5 centistoke oil, or 9 months whichever occurs first. Extensions beyond
the basic oil change period may be contemplal.e"d provided that the condition of the .oil is monitored such as
by a spectrometric oil analysis and a written request is submitted to the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada
Limited Service Department. When operation will result in frequent cold soaking at ambient temperatures of
0°F (-I8°C) or lower, the use of a 5 centistoke oil is recommended. For further information, consult the
latest revision of Pratt and Whitney Engine Service Bulletin No. I00 I for the PA-31 T, P A-31 T2 and for the
PA-31 T 1 Service Bulletin No. 1200 l. The total system capacity is 2.3 U.S. gallons.
CAUTION
Do not mix different brands of oil or specifications of oil since the

chemical structures may be different, making the oils
incompatible.
If the oil brand is to be changed, the lubrication system must be flushed as follows:
a. Completely drain the engine oil. (Refer to Paragraph 2-55.)
b. Motor the engine with the starter for a few seconds to scavenge the oil system.
CAUTION
Limit engine rotation to a minimum to accomplish draining.
c. Reinstall the drain plugs in the engine and oil cooler and refill the engine oil tank with the brand

which correspond to U.S. quarts and fill to required level.
NOTE
Normal oil level is one U.S. quart below maximum level. DO NOT
fill oil tank more than one quart below the maximum mark.
CAUTION
If oil level in tank is below the bottom of the dipstick, determine

the cause to assist in troubleshooting. If neither fluctuating nor
low oil pressure readings have been noticed, check for external
leaks and oil filter contamination. Clean oil filter and fill oil tank
to recommended level. Record quantity of oil added and carry out
a 15 minute engine run; then recheck the oil quantity and
condition of oil filter. If both are satisfactory, no further action is
necessary, otherwise refer to the Engine Maintenance Manual.
2-51. CHIP DETECTOR/DRAIN PLUG. The magnetic chip detector is located in the same place as the

2-58. LUBRICATION.
2-59. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Proper lubrication procedures are of immeasurable value both as
a means of prolonging the service life of the airplane and as a means of reducing the frequency of extensive and
expensive repairs. The periodic application of recommended lubricants to their relevant bearing surfaces. as
detailed in the following paragraphs, together with the observance of cleanliness, will insure the maximum
efficiency and utmost service of all moving parts. Lubrication instruction regarding the locations, time
intervals, and type of lubricants used may be found in Charts 2-1 thru 2-3. To insure the best possible results·
from the application of lubricants, the following precautions should be observed:
a. Use recommended lubricants. Where general purpose lubricating oil is specified, but unavailable,
clean reciprocating engine oil may be used as a satisfactory substitute.
b. Check the components to be lubricated for evidence of excessive wear and replace them as
necessary.
c. Remove all excess lubricants from components in order to prevent the collection of dirt and sand
in abrasive quantities capable of causing excessive wear or damage to bearing surfaces.
2-60. APPLICATION OF GREASE. Care must be taken when lubricating bearings and bearing surfaces
with a grease gun, to insure that gun is filled with new, clean grease of the grade specified for the particular
application before applying lubricant to the grease fittings.
a. Where a reservoir is not provided around a bearing, apply the lubricant sparingly and wipe off any
excess.
b. Remove wheel bearings from the wheel hub and clean thoroughly with a suitable solvent. When
repacking with grease, be sure the lubricant enters the space between the rollers in the retainer ring. Do not
pack the grease into the wheel hub.
c. Use extra care when greasing the Hartzell propeller hub to avoid blowing the clamp gaskets.
Remove one grease fitting while applying grease to the other fitting.
2-61. APPLICATION OF OIL. Whenever specific instructions for lubrication of mechanisms requiring
lubrication are not available, observe the following precautions:
a. Apply oil sparingly, never more than enough to coat the bearing surfaces.

lCll
b. Since the cables are sufficiently coated by the manufacturer, additional protection for the
prevention of corrosion is unnecessary.
2-62. LUBRICATION OF THREADS. All fittings on external lines, including their points of attachment
at the engine and other components, should be lubricated with the proper lubricant as specified in Table
II-IV.
The following steps should be followed when applying thread lubricants:
a. Thoroughly clean threads before applying lubricant.
b. Use selected thread lubricant sparingly.
c. Apply thread lubricant to male threads only.
d. Lubricate the first three threads on straight fittings.
e. Do not lubricate the first two threads or. tapered fittings. Apply the lubricant to the next three
threads only.
f. Ascertain that lubricant does not enter fittings or flared areas.
g. Any fittings going to the engine should be lubricated with the type of fluid going through the
lines.
2-63. LUBRICATION OF GASKETS AND SEALS. Gaskets and 0-ring seals which require lubrication
should be lubricated with the same type of fluid they. are sealing.
2-64. LUBRICATION CHARTS. The lubrication charts consists of individual illustrations for the various
aircraft systems, and each component to be lubricated is indicated by a number which references the
component, type of lubrication and frequency of lubrication in hours. Special instructions are listed at the
beginning of the lubrication charts and referenced on the particular chart.
2-65. ENGINE ACCESSORY DRIVE SHAFTS LUBRICATION. The accessory drive shafts should be
lubricated according to the latest revision of Pratt and Whitney Maintenance Manual, (refer to Table ll-VIII
for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Maintenance Manual).
The specific accessories are:
l. Freon Compressor (entire shaft)
2. Starter Generators
3. Tach Generators
4. Hydraulic Pumps
Lubricant should not be applied to the following accessories, should they be removed for any reason:
1. Fuel Pumps
2. Prop Governors (CSU)

2-66. OXYGEN SYSTEM.
2-67. SERVICING OXYGEN SYSTEM. The oxygen for the breathing system is furnished from a stationary
cylinder located in the nose section. Service and maintenance instructions for the oxygen system may be found
in Section XIV.
2-68. OXYGEN SYSTEM SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .. The utmost care must be exercised in servicing,
handling and inspection of the oxygen system. Comply with the following precautions:
a. Keep the oxygen regulator, cylinder, gauge, valve, fittings, masks and all other components of the
oxygen system free of oil, grease, fuel and all other readily combustible substances.
b. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the oxygen lines.
WARNING
The presence of foreign matter in the high pressure lines can cause an
explosion. When coming in contact with oxygen equipment keep
hands, tools and clothing clean - hospital clean.
c. Never attempt to repair or repaint oxygen equipment.

d. Keep fire and heat away from oxygen equipment. Do not smoke while working with or near oxygen
equipment and take care not to generate sparks with carelessly handled tools when working on the oxygen
system.
e. Never allow electrical equipment to come in contact with the oxygen cylinder.
f. Only a thread compound approved under MIL-T -5542 can be used safely on oxygen systems. Apply
only to the first three threads of male fittings to prevent thread seizure.
2-69. FILLING OXYGEN CYLINDER. The filler valve for the oxygen system is accessible through a door
located on the left side of the nose section.
a. To fill the oxygen cylinder, open the access door, remove the cap from the filler valve and attach the
filler hose from the oxygen recharge unit to the filler valve. Ascertain that all fittings are free from oil, grease,
dirt, etc.
NOTE
If the airplane's oxygen cylinder pressure is below 50 psi, the system

should be purged as described in Section XIV.

b. When using a recharge unit consisting of one supply cylinder, slowly open the valve of the supply·
unit and allow the oxygen to transfer until the service pressure for the cylinder is reached. Ambient
temperature must be considered when filling oxygen cylinders. Refer to Table II· V. Indicated Oxygen
Cylinder Pressure vs. Ambient Temperature.
c. When using a recharge unit consisting oftwo or more supply cylinders (cascade storage system), it is
recommended that the following procedure be used:
I. Before opening any valves, check the pressure remaining in the airplane's oxygen cylinder. If it
is still partly charged, note the pressure indicated on the cylinder gauge. Then open and close each valve on the
cascade storage system and determine which cylinder has the lowest pressure. When found, if this cylinder has
a pressure lower than the oxygen cylinder in the airplane, do not attempt using it for filling. Use the storage
cylinder that has a pressure higher than the airplane's cylinder but lower than the others.
2. Open the valve on only the one storage cylinder with the lowest pressure. When the pressure
indicated on the airplane's oxygen gauge and charging gauge has become equal, close the valve of the storage
cylinder, then go to the storage cylinder with the next higher pressure and repeat the procedure.
3. If, after using the last storage cylinder, the airplane's oxygen system is still not fully charged, a
full storage cylinder should be put in place of a cylinder with the lowest pressure and used in the same manner.
4. A good deal of oxygen will remain in the large cylinders used in the cascade system after filling
only one of the cylinders, but each remaining oxygen will be at a pressure something less than the 1800 pounds,
which is not sufficient pressure to completely refill another aircraft cylinder, although it will refill several
smaller cylinders.
5. It is not economical, even on a three or four-cylinder cascade system to begin recharging with
oxygen at less than 300 psi pressure in the JOO cubic foot bank of cylinders. So, use 300 cubic foot cylinders
down to approximately 300 psi, then return for refilling. In two-cylinder systems, use to approximately 600
psi, then return for filling.
d. When the pressure gauge on the recharge unit or in the airplane reaches the appropriate service
pressure (refer to Table II· V), close the pressure valve on the recharge unit. Disconnect the filler hose from the
filler valve, replace the protective cap on the filler valve and close the access door.
2-70. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM. This system requires very little maintenance other than periodic
cleaning, checks for leakage around the cabin area, and the operation of the controls necessary to maintain
proper cabin pressurization. A cabin pressurization check should be performed in accordance with Section
XIII or Section XIIIA.
2-71. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. Servicing this system consists of periodically checking the freon
refrigerant level by operating the system and observing the sight gauge window in the upper end of the receiver-
dryer. This is done through the nose baggage compartment rear access panel. Check for signs of foam or
bubbles in the sight gauge. If these conditions are observed, refer to Section XIII or Section XIII A for further
instructions on the air conditioner. If the system must be recharged, it is advisable to check the oil in the
compressor at this time before recharging the system, and replace the receiver-dryer and 0-rings in
connections which were opened.
2-72. CLEANING.
2-73. FIELD CLEANING ENGINE. Field Cleaning consists of internal washing of the compressor and
external washing of the engine. Refer to Table II- VIII for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Maintenance
Manual.

1D4
2-74. ENGINE/COMPRESSOR WASHING. The Pratt and WhitneyservicemanualsforthePT6Aengirte

gives full, detailed instructions for the washing of the engine and compressor. For specific instructions peculiar
to the Piper installation, the following additional instructions should also be used. (Refer to Table II-VIII.)
CAUTION
Before any type of cleaning make sure the cables are properly sealed
to prevent water from entering the cable housing. Try not to direct
any water pressure at these seals. Water could freeze and bind cables
under certain conditions.
a. Allow the engine to cool for at least 30 minutes before performing a compressor wash.
b. With the top cowling removed, disconnect the bleed air line at the union, just below the "T'
connection, and securely cap the lines.
c. Have the bleed air shut-off valve closed, and the ground run cowl installed.
d. On the affected engine, open the access door on the side of the bottom cowl and with the cleaning
mechanism attached to the wash ring fitting, perform the cleaning as directed in the P & W service manual.
e. A soaking period of about 15 minutes should be observed after wash.
NOTE
Motor engine with starter only. Make sure igmhon 1s off and
appropriate fuel "firewall shut-off valve" is closed.
Due to chemicals in tap water which may cause deposits on

compressor blades, tap water should not be used.
CAUTION
Observe starter operating limits of 30 seconds on 60 seconds off, 30

seconds on 60 seconds off, 30 seconds on and then 30 minutes off.
2-75. CLEANING LANDING GEAR. Before cleaning the landing gear, place a plastic cover or similar
material over the wheel and brake assembly.
a. Place a pan under the gear to catch waste.
b. Spray or brush the gear area with solvent or a mixture of solvent and de greaser, as desired. It may be
necessary to brush areas that were sprayed where heavy grease and dirt deposits have collected in order to clean
them.
NOTE
If desired, the inboard gear doors may be lowered by actuating the

emergency hand pump handle, with the master switch off.
c. Allow the solvent to remain on the gear from 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse the gear with additional
solvent and allow to dry.
d. Remove the cover from the wheel and remove the catch pan.
e. Lubricate the gear per Lubrication Chart.

1D5
2-76. CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES. The airplane should be washed with a mild soap and water.
Harsh abrasive or alkaline soaps or detergents used on painted or plastic surfaces could make scratches or
cause corrosion of metal surfaces. Cover areas where cleaning solution could cause damage. To wash the
airplane, the following procedure may be used:
a. Flush away loose dirt with water.
b. Apply cleaning solution with a rag, sponge or soft bristle brush.
c. To remove stubborn oil and grease, use a cloth dampened with naphtha.
d. Any good automotive wax may be used to preserve the painted surfaces. Soft cleaning cloths or a
chamois should be used to prevent scratches when· cleaning or polishing. A heavier coating of wax on the
leading surfaces will reduce the abrasion problems in these areas.
2-77. CLEANING WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS.

a. Remove dirt, mud, etc., from exterior surface with clean water.
b. Wash with mild soap and water or a 50 (50 solution of isopropanol and water. (Do not use plastic
cleaners on glass windshields.) Use a soft cloth or sponge using a straight rubbing motion. Do not rub harshly
on any surfaces.
NOTE
Do not use any abrasive materials, strong acids or bases, gasoline,

alcohoL benzene, carbon tetrachloride, thinner, acetone, or window
cleaning sprays.
c. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
NOTE
Do not apply wax to windshields.
d. After cleaning plastic surfaces, apply a thin coat of hard polishing wax. Rub lightly with a soft cloth.
Do not use a circular motion.
e. A severe scratch or mar in plastic can be removed by using jeweler's rouge to rub out the scratch.
Smooth both sides and apply wax.
f. To improve visibility through windshield and windows during flight through rain, a rain repellent
such as REPCON should be applied to the windshield and windows. The surfaces of the windshield and
windows treated becomes so smooth that water beads up and readily flows off the surface. Apply this product
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. (Refer to Table II-VII. Consumable Materials, for
Specifications and Manufacturer's address.)
2-78. CLEANING HEADLINER, SIDE PANELS AND SEATS.

a. Clean headliner with a good quality rug and upholstery shampoo, such as the type manufactured by
Bond Sanitary Products of York, Penna. Foil ow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. A void soaking or
harsh rubbing.
CAUTION
Solvent cleaners require adequate ventilation.
b. Clean side panels and seats with a stiff bristle brush and vacuum where necessary.
c. Leather material should be cleaned with saddle soap or a mild soap and water.
2-79. CLEANING WOOD SURFACES. Wood surfaces may be cleaned with any household liquid or spray
cleaner and polish manufactured for this purpose.
106
2-80. CLEANING CARPETS. Use a small whisk broom or vacuum to remove dirt. For soiled spots, use a
non-inflammable dry-cleaning fluid.
2-81. CLEANING TOILET.

a. To dispose of the sanitary bag, pull the top of the bag from the pail and close with a wire tie. Remove
it from the airplane in the covered pail and dispose of according to field facilities. Do not attempt to flush the
bag in a toilet.
b. To clean and deodorize the airplane's toilet, mix a solution of disinfectant type cleaner. Using a soft
bristle brush, rag and solution, wash the toilet pail and seat. The toilet may be removed for cleaning by
disconnecting the two fasteners at the inside forward end of the unit. Slide it back and lift from the floor.
c. When offensive odor remains, use a stronger solution and reclean.
d. Rinse with fresh water and dry.
e. To install a new sanitary bag, place it over the top edge ofthe pail and push it into the bottom of the
pail.
2-82. AIRPLANE FINISH CARE. The complete airplane is carefully finished inside and outside to assure
maximum service life. Both sides of all parts are alodine treated and sprayed with zinc chromate primer. The
external surfaces are coated with durable Polyurethane enamel.
When washing the airplane it is advisable to use a mild soap and water solution. Loose dirt should be
flushed away with clean water. Harsh abrasive or alkaline soaps or detergents could cause corrosion or make
scratches in the finish.
Use naphtha and a soft cloth to remove stubborn oil and grease. Any good automotive wax can be used to
preserve the painted surfaces. Soft cleaning cloth or chamois should be used to prevent scratches when
cleaning or polishing. Apply a heavier coating of wax on the leading edges of the wings and tail surfaces and on
the nose cone section and propeller spinners to reduce the abrasion problems in these areas.
When repainting the airplane, never use aluminum foil as a paint spray mask on Aircon Nesa coated
windshields. Nesa film is used on the exterior for static electricity protection and is basically tin oxide. Most
metal brighteners, whether alkaline or acidic, can react with the aluminum foil and release hydrogen, which
may come in contact with the tin oxide. When the hydrogen and the tin oxide combine, the tin oxide film is
reduced to pure tin and when wiped away will leave a permanent dark stain. If metal brighteners are to be used,
insure adequate protection for the windshield by using paper and pasteboard prior to painting.
2-83. ELECTRIC WINDSHIELD WIPERS. Windshield wipers are standard equipment on the left and
optional on the right windshield. To operate the windshield wipers, turn the switch located on the lower right
side of the instrument panel to either the HIGH or LOW position. When turning OFF the wipers, turn the
switch to either the OFF or PARK position. The OFF position stops the blades in place while the PARK
position returns the blades to the centerpost position.
WARNING
Never operate the windshield wiper on a dry windshield. This could

scratch the glass and shorten the life of the wiper blades.
The windshield wiper motor is located forward of the bulkhead at Station 81.00 at the upper left portion
of the fuselage skin. If the right side windshield wipers are installed, a flexible shaft is run from the electric
motor and transmission to a converter on the right side of the same bulkhead, and the wiper runs off this
converter. Refer to .section IV for adjustment of wiper blade and arm.

SECTION Ill
INSPECTION
3-1. GENERAL. This section has been superseded by the Piper Continuous Inspection Manual, PIN 761 520
(50 hour) or PIN 761 644 (I 00 hour) for the P A-31 T, P A-31 T I. P A-31 T I A and for the PA-31 T2, Inspection
Manual, PIN 761 750 (I 00 hour).
Required inspectton procedures are outlined in Piper Continuous Inspection Manual.
Additional copies are available through Piper Service Department. This inspection consists of
Routine and Detailed (Event) inspections performed every 50 hours of aircraft service time, thus
providing a complete airworthiness inspection of airplane every 200 hours (one complete cycle).
Also included are various special inspections required at specific service times other than those
arriving on 50 hour events.
This type of inspection was selected by Piper Aircraft Corporation to provide greater
utilization of aircraft through use of this planned inspection program.
3-2. SPECIAL INSPECTIONS FOR UNUSUAL CONDITIONS. The following inspections
must be performed upon indication of any unusual conditions observed or reported by
maintenance personnel or owner I operator of aircraft.
3-3. ENGINE OVERTEMPERATURE AND OVERTORQUE LIMITS INSPECTION. If
any overtemperature or overtorque condition has occurred, refer to Table II-VIII for appropriate
Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual, for necessary inspection procedures and
corrective actions.
3-4. ENGINE UNSCHEDULEED INSPECTION DUE TO OVERSPEED, SUDDEN
STOPPAGE, LOSS OF OIL AND LIGHTNING STRIKE. If an engine suffers any abnormal
operating conditions, inspections and corrective actions detailed in Pratt and Whitney Engine
Maintenance Manual, must be performed. Refer to Table II-VIII for appropriate Pratt and
Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual.
3-5. HARD OR OVER WEIGHT LANDING OR LANDING GEAR EXTENT! ON ABOVE
Vw. Refer to Piper Service Bulletin 845. This inspection must be performed after a known rough
landing is made or when a landing is made while aucraft is known to exceed design landing weight.
The following areas and items must be checked throroughly for any unusual conditions:
a. Wrinkled Wing Skin - most easily detected sign of excessive loads having been imposed
during a landing.
b. Fuel Leaks - along riveted seams of nacelle fuel tanks.
c. Spar webs, bulkheads, nacelle skins and attachments, fire wall skins, and wing and
fuselage stringers.
d. Misalignment of right and left-hand components such as power plants, wings, etc.
Interim Revision: 8/21/86 INSPECTION

1024
3-6. SEVERE TURBULENCE. This inspection should be performed when the aircraft has encountered a gust
condition, suspected of exceeding the normal wing loading of the aircraft. The gust tends to accelerate the
aircraft while its inertia acts to resist this change. If the combination of gust velocity and airspeed is too severe,
the induced stress can cause structural damage. The following areas and items should be checked thoroughly
for any unusual conditions:
a. -Wrinkled Wing Skins - upper and lower surfaces for excessive buckles or wrinkles with permanent set.
NOTE
Where wrinkles have occurred, a few rivets should be removed and the
rivet shanks examined to determine if the rivets have sheared or were
highly loaded in shear.
b. Wing Spar Web - inspect all spar webs from the fuselage to the wing tips, through all access and
inspection panels available.
c. Check for buckling, wrinkles, and sheared attachments in the area around the nacelles, particularly at
the wing leading edge.
d. Check for Fuel Leaks - this could indicate that an overload has broken the sealant and opened the
seams of fuel tanks.
e. Fuselage Skins - check upper and lower skins for wrinkles of a diagonal nature; this would be an
indication of excessive bending.
f. Empennage - check for wrinkles, buckling or sheared attachments, also the area of attachment of
empennage to the fuselage.
g. Landing Gear - if the gear was lowered during the time of severe turbulence, inspect the surrounding
surfaces carefully for loose rivets, cracks or buckling. The interior of the wheel well may give further
indications of excessive gust conditions.
NOTE
The above inspections cover the critical areas. If excessive damage is
found in any of these areas, the inspection should be continued until
all the damage is detected.
3-7. COMPONENT OVERLIMITS INSPECTION. If the aircraft has been operated so that any of its
components have exceeded the maximum operational limits, check with the appropriate manufacturer for the
necessary corrective action.
3-8. INSPECTION OF WING FLAP TRANSMISSION. (Refer to Figure 3-1.) The Dukes flap transmissions
are inspected at every 100 hour inspection cycle of the aircraft. The Calco flap transmissions are inspected at
the first 500 hour inspection cycle of the airplane (or at 500 hours time-in-service for replacement Calco
transmissions, as applicable) and at each 100 hours thereafter. This is accomplished without removal of the
transmissions, by the following procedures:
a. Position the flaps in the extended position (Down).
b. Remove the access covers on the lower wing surface to gain access to the flap transmissions.
c. With the use of vise grip pliers and exerting light pressure, grasp the exposed portion of the screw
close to the transmission as shown. (Refer to Views A and B.)
d. With the pliers secured to the screw a light pressure will move the pliers and screw as free play in the
transmission gear set is taken up in either direction. Do not force the pliers.
e. Place a six inch ruler along the skin surface as shown in View B and measure the overall distance the
pliers move.

f. Should this dimension exceed .32 (5/16) of an inch for the Duke's transmission or. 30 of an inch for
the Calco transmission, replace the transmission assembly. (See parts catalog for part number.) (Refer to
Section V, for transmission removal and installation.)
g. Reinstall the access panels and make appropriate logbook entry.
h. Continue inspection at I 00 hour intervals.
3-9. INSPECTION OF WING FLAP TRANSMISSION ACTUATOR CABLE. (Refer to Figure 3-2.)
a. Remove access plate from underside of left and right wing trailing edge, to gain access to flap
transmissions.
b. Remove all ty-raps and support clamps along the entire length of both flexible shaft assemblies and
inspect the outer housing. If the housing is damaged, replace the flexible shaft assembly.
c. Check the distance between the flexible shaft assembly nut and the transmission to determine if
shaft assembly is properly installed.
d. When properly installed, the nut on flexible shaft will bottom or be within 3/16 of an inch of
bottoming against the transmission.
e. Disconnect flexible shafts and remove the flap motor. Using caution not to damage the flexible
shafts housing. route the flexible shafts outboard through the longitudinal beams.
NOTE
Do not disconnect flexible shaft from transmission at this time.

f. Visually inspect the flexible shaft splined drive coupling and retaining pin for evidence of looseness
on the cable swage fitting.
g. Inspect the swaged fittings at both ends of the flexible shaft as follows:
I. Expose the swaged portion of the inner cable at the motor end by twisting the outer housing
two (2) turns clockwise. The swaged portion of the cable should have six (6) or eight (8) flats clearly visible and
free from deep scratches or wear.
2. Using a micrometer. or dial caliper. measure the diameter of the swage at each of the flats at
the middle of the swaged portion of the cable. A total of four (4) measurements should be taken. If any of the
measurements exceed .273 inch for 6 flats or .294 for 8 flats, replace the drive shaft.
3. Disconnect drive shaft from the flap transmission. Using caution not to damage the shaft
housing, route inboard through Sta. 87.50 bulkhead. Inspect the swaged portion of the drive blade fitting end
as described in Steps "I" and "2" above.
4. Inspect the drive blade dimension.
h. Inspect the internal splines of the drive coupling for evidence of wear. If splines are distorted or
significantly worn, replace the drive shaft. Use the following method to determine if the amount of spline wear
is acceptable.
I. Twist a piece of .032 safety wire around the swaged fitting at the motor end of the drive shaft to
form a pointer. With one end of the flap motor armature shaft secured engage the opposite end into the flexible
shaft spline.
2. Hold the spline end of the flexible shaft securely with one hand, and gently turn the flap motor
to remove rotational play in the splines. Place a reference mark on the motor housing adjacent to the wire
pointer. Turn the flap motor gently in the opposite direction to remove rotational play and place another
reference mark on the motor housing. If the distance between these two marks exceed 5/32 of an inch replace
the shaft assembly.
i. While holding the transmission end of the drive shaft stationary, twist the motor end one turn
clockwise and release. Inspect for evidence of movement between the inner cable and the swaged fittings at
both ends. Turn cable one turn counterclockwise and repeat inspection. If movement or separation between
the inner cable and the swage fitting is apparent. replace the flexible shaft assembly.
NOTE
If pliers or similar tool is used to twist cable, wrap cable ends with
tape or a cloth to prevent damage.
j. Determine that the inner cable moves freely within the housing, and may be turned easily by hand.
If there is any snagging or binding the cable must be replaced.
k. Reassembly of the Flap System:
I. Ascertain that the flap motor shaft is centered within the motor adapter housing.
2. Align and insert tang on shaft assembly into slot in transmission. Tighten nut finger tight and
wrench not over I1\6 turn from finger tight. When installed by this method the dimension between the nut and
transmission will be as noted in Step d, thus insuring that the end of shaft housing is firmly seated against the
transmission. Safety nut with .040 wire.
3. Twist outer housing in proper direction bringing clearance to 3/64 .± 1/32 of an inch.
4. Holding outer housing in this position. insert spline into flap motor, tighten nut finger tight
and wrench not over 1/16 turn from finger tight. Safety nut with .040 brass wire.
5. Lubricate both ends of flexible shafts with MIL-G-23827 grease.
6. Reassemble and verify flap system rigging as outlined in (Chapter V) of the appropriate
Service Manual.
I. Reinstall the ty-raps. support clamps. floorboards, access panels and make appropriate logbook
entry.

3-10. REDUCTION OF FRICTION IN WING FLAP SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure 3-3.) To insure proper
flap system operation and reduce friction on the flap motor, the following inspection and repairs are only
required should operational problems exist in the flap system:
a. Remove both right and left flap assemblies from the aircraft. (Refer to Section IV.)
b. Clean all paint and dirt from the top and bottom of the flap tracks.
c. Inspect the flap tracks for any burrs along the track edges. If any are found, remove them with a
fine file. Insure that no noticeable depressions are evident at the ends of the track areas. (Refer to Figure
3-3 for specific locations.)
d. Using fine sandpaper, polish the inside surfaces of the flap tracks and lubricate the tracks with
light oil, MIL-L-7870 or Dupont Slip Spray No. 6611.
e. Clean all dirt and paint from the flap rollers.
f. On each flap roller. Part Numbers 86102-104, 86102-105 and 86102-106 remove 1;64 or .016 of
an inch from one side of each roller. (Refer to Figure 3-3, View A-A.)
g. Polish all flap rollers and lubricate with light oil, M IL-L-7870.
h. Insure that the washers. Part Numbers 40559-43 and 40559-42 used on both sides of the rollers
are flat. (Refer to Figure 3-3, View A-A.)
i. Install both flap assemblies on the aircraft. (Refer to Section IV.) Do not connect the flap
transmission screws to the flaps at this time.
j. Ascertain that the flap rollers turn freely and that the flaps will move freely in the flap tracks
under their own weight through the entire length of the flap tracks.
k. Insure that the flap transmission screw fits into the horn assembly on the flap without any binding.
NOTE
It may be necessary to move the horn assembly to obtain this no

binding fit. The mounting holes on the horn assembly may be slotted
to gain some adjustment if needed. (Refer to Figure 3-3. View B-B
for dimensions of slots.)
I. Ascertain that the transmission bolt at the flap end fits into the screw end and horn assembly with
finger pressure only. (Refer to Figure 3-3.)
m. Install the transmission bolt AN4-15. washer AN960-416, and nut AN310-4 only finger tight and
install a cotter pin MS24665-134.
n. If not previously accomplished at the regular 100 hour inspection. the flap transmission should be
checked in accordance with Paragraph 3-8.
o. Ascertain that the flap transmission cables are installed properly. (Refer to Paragraph 3-9.)
p. Inspect the travel of the flaps in the flap tracks per instructions given in Section V.
q. Ascertain that all wires on the flap relay in the radio compartment are tight.
r. Ascertain that all wires on the flap selector switch are tight.
3-11. WING FLAP MOTOR NO LOAD RPM CHECK. (Refer to Figure 3-4.) This check for demagne-
tization of the flap actuating motor should be accomplished along with friction reduction per Paragraph 3-10
if flap motor circuit breaker popping has been or remains a problem.
a. With the wing flap motor (I) installed in the aircraft, disconnect both of the flexible drive shafts
(4) and remove one of the flex drive adapters (2) from the motor.
b. On the exposed motor splines. paint a white strip on one of the spline teeth.
c. Energize the flap motor with the flap selector switch.

d. With the aid of a Simpson 410 Photo Tachometer or equivalent, hold the probe within one-half of
an inch of the painted rotating spline shaft and observe the RPM reading on the meter. RPM in excess of
11.000 will indicate a demagnetized motor which should be replaced.
e. In the event that the above meter cannot be obtained, another method can be used to make the
check. This would require the removal of the motor from the aircraft and using a hand held tachometer and
24-volt D.C. power source. (Refer to Section V for removal and installation of flap actuator motor.) If this
cannot be accomplished, remove the motor and take it to a local electric motor overhaul facility for the RPM
check.
f. Reassemble and insure proper spline shaft engagement per Paragraph 3-9.
NOTE
Do not perform no load RPM check unless a problem of circuit

breaker popping exists or has existed with the flap motor that is
still in the system.
3-12. INSPECTION OF AILERON SPROCKET AND CHAIN. (Refer to Figure 3-5.)

a. To determine if corrective action is required because of misalignment of the pilot's control wheel
sprocket and mating aileron control chain, it will be necessary to perform the following checks at each 100
hour inspection of the airplane:
NOTE
To adequately perform the following checks, the aircraft should

be located in an area relatively free of excessive noise and vibration.

1. Gently grasp the pilot's control wheel with both hands. Slowly rotate the wheel while carefully
listening for sounds of roughness or the feel of uneven action when the aileron chain links pass
over each tooth of the sprocket.
2. With one mechanic slowly rotating the pilot's control wheel, and another mechanic (with flashlight
and mirror) observing the movement of the aileron chain over the sprocket, observe for smooth
flow of the chain links over the sprocket throughout the total travel of the control wheel.
b. If roughness or uneven action is not felt, heard or seen, no further action is required.
c. If roughness or uneven action is detected, it could be due to lack of lubrication on the chain (if so,
clean and lubricate), bent teeth on the sprocket (if so, sprocket must be replaced) or sprocket/control
chain misalignment that must be corrected as follows:
1. Inspect at outboard end of sprocket housing to determine if the .032 shim is installed between the
offset in the housing and the bulkhead. Install shim if it is not present. This shim will ensure
proper horizontal alignment.
2. To attain proper vertical alignment, install new .012 shims between the top or bottom of the
sprocket housing and the bulkhead, as required, to ensure a smooth flow of the chain links over the
sprocket.
3-13. CONTROL CABLE INSPECTION- STANDARD PROCEDURES. See Appendix, Section V, Grid 1L18.
3-14. LOCK WIRING OF V-BAND COUPLINGS (Refer to Figure 3-6). Field reports indicate "T-bolts" in the
V-band couplings installed in some Piper airplanes have broken. The failure of a T-bolt can allow the coupling
to separate, permitting hot exhaust gases or bleed air to escape, creating a fire hazard. See latest Piper Service
Bulletin No. 884. Ensure that all V-band couplings in the exhaust, bleed air or cabin heat systems are lock
wired as follows:
a. Refer to the applicable parts catalog to determine the number and location of V-band couplings
installed in your airplane.
b. Inspect all V-band Couplings for security and integrity ofT-bolts and lock wire (if installed).
c. If lock wire is damaged or missing, lock wire coupling using MS20995-C41 wire.

3-15. INSPECTION OF FLEXIBLE HOSES. It is recommended that flexible hoses be inspected every 100
hours. especially those in the engine compartments. When inspecting the hoses, look for the following
conditions:
INSPECTION lElO Interim Revision: 10/15/97

a. Check each installation to be sure the hose is not kinked, twisted, or distorted. Also check for evidence
of abrasion, cuts and/or broken wires. It should be noted that random broken wires are acceptable since
wire breaks sometimes occur during manufacture. A general rule of thumb is to discard a hose if two
or more broken wires are found per plait (braid) or more than six broken wires per lineal foot. Broken
wires in an area where kinking is evident is also a cause for rejection.
NOTE
During the manufacturing process, a condition known as "rubber
strike through" occasionally occurs. This condition is such that rubber
material protrudes through the wire braid cover. Although it exhibits
an unpleasant appearance, it has no affect on the quality of the hose.
b. Check each assembly for deterioration, ply separation of cover or braid, cracks, weather checking, lack
of flexibility, blisters or bulging, collapse, or sharp bending. Blisters that form on the outer synthetic
cover, however, do not necessarily affect the serviceability of the hose. If a blister is discovered,
remove the hose from the aircraft and puncture the blister with a pin. If the blister collapses, and only
air emerges. pressure test the hose at 1.5 times the system operating pressure and make sure no leakage
occurs. If fluid leaks from the hose during the test or when the blister is punctured, reject the hose
assembly.
NOTE
Puncturing the outer cover of the hose may permit entry of corrosive
elements that could attack the wire braiding and ultimately result in
failure. For this reason, puncturing the outer cover as previously
described should be avoided if possible.
c. If weather checking, or small cracks in the external surface of the hose are found, the hose may be
regarded as serviceable provided the cracks do not penetrate the first braid.
d. If the age or the condition of the hose as just described warrants proof of integrity, the hose should be
removed and inspected internally. When inspecting the inside of the hose, look for evidence of
deterioration, tube collapse, cut rubber, wire braid puncture, or restriction. To inspect hoses with elbow
fittings, a flexible inspection light and viewer may be used, or an inspection ball as described in Table
III-I.
e. Should any hose be questionable as to it's serviceability, a proof pressure test should be accomplished.
It is recommended that the hose assembly be pressure tested at generally twice recommended
operating pressure for the specific hose. (Refer to Table III-I.)

SECTION IV
STRUCTURES
4-1. INTRODUCTION. This section contains information explaining the removal and installation
procedures for the structural surfaces of the airplane. It also includes structural repairs and control surface
balancing along with fuselage sealing.
NOTE
When torquing structural assemblies, standard torque values are to

be used as found in Section II, or FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1,
unless otherwise stated in this section.
4-2. DESCRIPTION. The fuselage is an all metal semi-monocoque structure which consists of bulkheads.
stringers, stiffeners and longitudinal beams, all of which the outer skin is riveted to. The fuselage is pressurized
on the PA-31T and PA-31Tl between bulkhead 81.00 and 274.00 and between bulkhead 57.00and 274.00, the
PA-31 T2 fuselage is pressurized. Windows include a two piece windshield, windows along the right and left
sides of the fuselage with a storm window for the pilot. A 25.75 by 19.75 inch emergency exit window is on the
right side of the fuselage and is removable when the release, which is located above the window is pulled. This
window is sealed when it is installed in the fuselage and must be carefully reinstalled whenever removed to
maintain the pressure seal. The cabin entrance door is located on the left side of the fuselage just aft of the wing.
It is a one piece door which swings to open and provides cabin entrance steps. A snubber may be installed to
prevent the door from dropping too fast when it is opened. The cargo door is located immediately aft of the
cabin entrance door. This door swings up but only after the cabin entrance door has been opened. This door
permits rapid loading and storage of cargo and also facilitates loading items normally too bulkly to pass
through the cabin entranc~ door. All wiring, plumbing, and control cables passing through the pressurized
portion of the fuselage are sealed to minimize air leakage.
WARNING
No holes should be added on any of the reinforcement channels and

the forward pressure bulkhead. Any repair, modification, or
removal of floorboard cover plates for inspection which creates a
break in the pressure seal is considered the responsibility of the
owner or facility performing the work.
Each wing panel is an all metal, full cantilever, semi-monocoque type construction with a removable
fiberglass tip on the PA-31 T l. Installed in each wing are two bladder type fuel cells, along with a wet nacelle
tank and a tip tank. (Tip tank optional on PA-31TI.) The main landing gear is enclosed in wheel wells built
into the lower surface of each wing and is enclosed by doors when retracted. Attached to each wing is the power
plant, aileron and flap. The right aileron incorporates a trim tab which is adjustable through a control in the
cockpit. The full length I beam type spars extend into the fuselage and are joined with high strength butt
fittings in the center of the fuselage making, in effect, a continuous main spar. The main spar is also attached to
the side of the fuselage as are the front and rear spars.
The all metal empennage group is a full cantilever design consisting of a vertical stabilizer (fin), rudder,
right and left horizontal stabilzer and elevator, all with removable fiberglass tips. The rudder and both halves
of the elevator have a trim tab attached that are controllable from the cockpit. Both the vertical and horizontal
stabilizers incorporate two channel main spars that run the full length of the stabilizers and attach to the aft
bulkhead assembly of the fuselage.
All aluminum components of the pressure envelope and exterior surfaces are alodine treated and then
zinc chromate primed to resist corrosion.

4-89. CONTROL SURFACE BALANCING.
4-90. CHECKING CONTROL SURFACE BALANCE. The movable control surfaces have been statically
balanced at the time of installation at the factory and normally need not be rebalanced unless the surfaces have
been repainted, repaired or replaced. Each control surface must be complete including paint, trim tab where
required, balance weights, static wicks, etc. Tabs must be held in neutral position with a small piece of tape.
Tab actuating rods must be in place and connected to the tab. The forward end of the actuating rods must be
disconnected from the attachment points. Disconnected actuating rod (forward ends) must be positioned to
correspond to the neutral tab position.
4-91. BALANCING EQUIPMENT. Balancing must be done using test weights called for in the text and
Table IV-I thru Table IV-IV for each surface by aircraft model. Any control surface being balanced must be
removed from the aircraft and placed in a test fixture Gig) as shown in Figures 4-12, 4-13 and 4-15. The
balancing must be accomplished in a draft free area and in a manner which allows unrestricted movement of
the control surface.
4-92. BALANCING DEFINITIONS. The following is a list of balancing definitions as used in this service
manual.
a. Master Test Weight: A fabricated tool temporarily attached to the control surface to determine
when the surface is at its lower static balance limits.
b. Balance Weight: Weight attached permanently to a control balance to produce a static hinge
movement within the required range (such as 30 inch-pounds ± 10 inch-pounds trailing edge heavy).
c. Trailing Edge Heavy: Positive static hinge moment, trailing edge of the surface moves downward
when released from a neutral position.
d. Leading Edge Heavy: Negative static hinge moment; leading edge of the surface moves
downward when released from a neutral position.
e. Master Test Weight Arm: Perpendicular distance between the control surface hinge line and the
point of application of the master test weight.
f. 0.1 Pound Test Weight: Small weight or weights added to the master test weight during
balancing procedure when the surface is tra1ling edge heavy with the basic master test weight installed.
g. Trim Weight: Small weight or weights added to the surface balance weight to bring the surface
within tolerances. (Sometimes required depending on variations in surface conditions.)

4-93. AILERON BALANCING PROCEDURE. (Refer to Figure 4-12.)

a. Remove the aileron from the airplane. (Refer to Paragraph 4-10.)
b. Place the aileron on the balancing jig as illustrated in Figure 4-12. Establish a horizontal reference
mark which aligns with the trailing edge of the aileron when it is held in a horizontally level position
(chord line level).
c. Ascertain that the surface rotates freely with no binding at the knife edges.
d. Fabricate a master test weight. (Refer to the appropriate Table (IV-I thru IV-IV) on Control Surface
Balancing for specific weight.)
e. Hang the master test weight on the forward attachment bolt of the balance weight.
f. If the aileron balances with the master test weight installed, it is at the minimum static balance limit
and is satisfactory.
g. If the aileron is leading edge heavy with the master test weight installed, material must be removed
from the surface balance weight until a balanced condition is obtained. This would also result in the
lower static balance limit.
h. If the aileron is trailing edge heavy with the master test weight installed, it must be determined that the
aileron does not exceed the upper static limits. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surface
Balancing for static limits.) The following instructions should be used to determine the extent of
unbalance:
1. Add individual 0.1 pound test weights to the master test weight until the aileron balances.
2. If the number of 0.1 pound test weights does not exceed the maximum allowable, the aileron is
within the static limits and is satisfactory. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surface
Balancing for maximum weight.)
3. If the number of 0.1 pound test weights added to the master test weight to balance the aileron
exceeds the maximum allowable per the appropriate Table, the aileron balance exceeds the static
limits allowable. The reason for the excessive unbalance must be determined; the unbalance must
be corrected and the aileron re-checked.
i. With the balance check complete, install the assembly on the aircraft. (Refer to Paragraph 4-11.)
4-94. ELEVATOR BALANCING PROCEDURE. (Refer to Figures 4-13 and 4-14.)

a. Remove the complete (both halves) elevator assembly from the airplane. (Refer to Paragraph 4-23.)
The complete assembly including trim tabs, actuating rods and center balance weight must be
assembled and placed on the balancing jig.
b. Fabricate a master test weight. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surface Balancing for
specific weight.)
c. With the elevators assembled and mounted in the jig, establish a horizontal reference mark which
aligns with the trailing edge of the elevator when held in a level position (chord line level). Ascertain
that the assembly rotates freely with no binding at knife edges.
d. Loosen one top forward elevator tip attachment screw and hang the master test weight over the leading
edge.
e. If the elevators balance in neutral position with just the master test weight installed, the surface is at
the minimum static limit, and is satisfactory.
f. If the elevator is leading edge heavy with the master test weight installed, the elevator tip balance
weights may be decreased in weight by removing lead from their outboard surfaces to a minimum tip
weight of 3.50 pounds each, or as required to obtain a balanced condition. Remove equal amounts
from both tip weights simultaneously.
g. If the surface is still leading edge heavy with the tip weights reduced to 3.50 pounds and the master
test weight installed, the cause of the excessive unbalance must be determined and corrected, and the
balancing procedure repeated.
h. If the assembly is trailing edge heavy with the master test weight installed, 0.1 pound test weights may
be added to the master test weight. Additional 0.1 pound test weights may be added to the master test
weight, but do not exceed the maximum allowed. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surface
Balancing for maximum allowable weight.)
Interim Revision: 10/15/97 1G21 STRUCTURES

i. If the assembly is still trailing edge heavy, add trim weights to obtain a balanced condition. (Refer
to the appropriate Table on Control Surface Balancing for trim weight part number and amount allowable.)
Divide trim weights equally and attach them to the outboard side of each tip weight.
j. If the elevator is still trailing edge heavy with the maximum number of trim weights installed, check
the elevator balance weight arm assembly P /N 51399 to see if it has additional plates welded to the main
balance weight. Elevators with Serial Nos. 31 T-7400002 to 31T-7720022 inclusive may be modified to include
the additional plates on the main balance weight if required. Refer to Figure 4-14, for fabrication and in-
stallation instructions.
4-95. RUDDER BALANCING PROCEDURE. (Refer to Figure 4-15.)

a. Remove the rudder from the airplane. (Refer to Paragraph 4-32.)
b. Place the rudder horizontally on the balance jig.
c. Fabricate a master test weight. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surface Balancing for
specific weight.)
d. Hang the master test weight in the existing tool hole in the rudder counterbalance channel.
Ascertain that the tool hole is located to provide the proper master test weight ann as specified in the
appropriate Tables on Control Surface Balancing.
e. If the rudder balances with just the specified master test weight, the surface is at the minimum static
limits per the appropriate Table on Control Surface Balancing and is satisfactory.
f. If the rudder is leading edge heavy with the master test weight installed, material must be removed
from the surface balance weight until a balanced condition is obtained. This would also result in the lower
static limit.
g. If the rudder is trailing edge heavy with the master test weight installed, it must be determined that
the rudder does not exceed the maximum static limits. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surface
Balancing for static limits.) The following instructions will determine the extent of unbalance:
1. Add individual 0.1 pound test weights to the master test weight until the rudder balances.
2. If the number of 0.1 pound test weights added does not exceed the maximum allowable, the
rudder is within the static limits. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surface Balancing for maximum
weight.)
3. If the number of 0.1 pound test weights added to the master test weight to balance the rudder
exceeds the maximum allowable per the appropriate Table, the rudder balance exceeds the static limits and
trim weights must be added to the rudder to produce a balanced condition. (Refer to the appropriate Table on
Control Surface Balancing for the trim weight part number and the maximum amount allowed to balance the
rudder.)
NOTE
During this procedure, the master test weight ItlUSt carry no more
than the maximum number of 0.1 pound test weights as called out
in the appropriate Table on Control Surface Balancing.
h. If trim weights are required, remove the rudder tip and install the trim weights on the attachment
point located in the web of the·upper rib. Use AN3-A bolt with the length depending on the amount of trim
weights used. (Refer to the appropriate Table on Control Surfacing Balancing for maximum number of trim
weights allowed.)
i. Install rudder tip and secure with attaching screws, and recheck rudder balance.
j. With balance check completed, install the rudder assembly on the aircraft. (Refer to Paragraph
4-33.)

1G22
4-96. ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM FRICTION MEASUREMENT. (Refer to Figure 4-16.) The
complete elevator system (including Autopilot if installed) must be rigged to its proper travels and cable ten-
sions prior to determining the friction in the system. (Refer to Section V, Table V-I, and Paragraphs 5-23 and
5-31J .
"TOTAL FRICTION'' in the PA-31 T elevator control system shall not be in the excess of 10 pounds on
earlier models and 11 pounds on models with serial numbers 31T-7920053, 31T-8020001 and up, with the arm
on SAS actuator full down and elevator in neutral position. On the PA-31Tl only, adjust the turnbuckle to
obtain 43 ± 1 pounds tension and on the PA-31 T2 only, 48 ± 1 pounds tension on the elevator control spring,
with elevator in neutral position. "TOTAL FRICTION" in the PA-31Tl and PA-31T2elevator control system
shall not exceed 11 pounds. Determine the actual friction in the system by using the following procedure:
a. Attach a spring scale to the inboard trailing edge of the elevator, outboard of the tab.
b. With the spring scale attached, position the elevator trailing edge down approximately 2 inches
from the neutral position.
c. Record the force (see Step g.) required to raise the elevator through the neutral position until the
trailing edge is approximately 2 inches above neutral.
d. Record the restraining force lowering the elevator from the 2 inches up position thru the neutral
position to the original 2 inches down position.
e. Repeat the above raising and lowering processes until average forces are obtained.
f. The total friction is obtained by subtracting the two forces.
NOTE
Do not exceed 60 pounds force for any measurement.
g. The elevator shall be rotated with a steady movement and the force reading taken when the elevator
is passing thru the neutral position. Do not stop rotation when taking reading.
4-97. CHECKING ELEVATOR TRIM TAB FREE PLAY. In accordance with the latest revision of Piper
Service Bulletin No. 468, check the elevator trim tab for excessive play. Pay particular attention to wear or
looseness at each tab hinge pivot point, the push-pull attachments and trim tab screw assembly.
a. Position the trim tab so that the trailing edge of the tab is 0.50 ± .12 of an inch below the trailing edge
of the elevator.
b. With tab positioned per (a), the total "Free Play" must not exceed .06 of an inch as measured be-
tween the outboard end of the tab trailing edge and the trailing edge of the elevator.
c. If excessive play is found, inspect the elevator trim screw and hinge assemblies to determine the
location of excessive play. Repair or replace the worn parts as required.

1G23
4-97a. CHECKING AILERON TRIM TAB FREE PLAY.

a. Aileron trim tab free play:
I. Position the aileron and aileron trim tab in neutral position.
2. With surfaces positioned per ( 1), the total trim tab "Free Play" must not exceed .045 of an inch
as measured between the inboard end of the tab and the trailing edge of the flap.
3. If excessive play is found inspect the aileron trim screw and hinge assemblies to determine the
location of excessive play. Repair or replace the worn parts as required.
4-97b. CHECKING RUDDER TRIM TAB FREE PLAY.

a. Position the rudder and rudder trim tab in neutral position.
b. With surfaces position per (a), the total trim tab "Free Play" must not exceed .07 of an inch as
measured between the bottom end of the tab and the trailing edge of the rudder.

4-98. STRUCTURAL REPAIRS. Structural repair methods used may be made in accordance with the
regulations set forth in FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-lA. To assist in making repairs and/or replacements,
Figure 4-17 identifies the type and thickness of the various skin material used. Never make a skin
replacement or patch plate from material other than the type and thickness of the original skin. The repair
must be as strong as the original skin. However, flexibility must be retained so that the surrounding areas
will not receive extra stress.
When making major structural repairs other than using factory manufactured parts, it is recommended
the manufacturer be contacted. No major alterations are recommended without contacting the
manufacturer.
NOTE
Any time service is accomplished on the elevator control system, a
friction check must be made to insure that the system friction is
within limits. (Refer to Paragraph 4-96.)
It may be necessary to cut access holes to make skin repairs in some areas of the aircraft. Refer to Figure
4-18 for typical access holes. In pressurized areas all skins, formers, stringers, etc., are considered structural
m.embers and should be treated as such. All repair material must be free of any defects such as nicks,
scratches, etc., which can cause stress risers. Do not dimple a structural member by driving the rivet head
into the part.
Scratches in acrylic plastic windows may be removed by buffmg, providing not more than .031 of an
inch of material is removed. No crazing or cracks are permitted in the pressure windows.
4-99. FUSELAGE SEALING. (Refer to Figures 4-19 and 4-20.) Special sealing compounds have been
used to seal sections of the Piper Cheyenne against leakage of pressurized air. This sealing is done during the
course of construction. Any air leakage throughout the pressurized fuselage can normally be detected when
carrying out the fuselage pressure check given in Section XIII or Section XIIIA.

chromate, except pressurized air duct work, airboxes, etc., which shall be alodined only.
b. Remove all filings, chips, loose dirt, and other foreign objects on the surfaces to be sealed by
forced air or vacuum cleaning and brush.
c. Clean all surfaces or voids to be sealed, to remove all fingerprints, oil or grease. To clean, wipe the
affected areas with naphtha, using a clean cotton cloth. The cleaned surfaces should be wiped dry immediately
and not allowed to air dry.
CAUTION
When using these cleaning solvents in a closed area, forced

ventilation must be used to protect personnel from toxic fumes.
d. It is essential that clean cloths be used for cleaning. When a cloth becomes soiled, it should be
discarded. To avoid contamination of the cleaning solvent, it should be poured on the cloth. Repeat the
cleaning procedures above until it is certain no contaminates are left on the surfaces to be sealed.
NOTE
The importance of proper cleaning prior or applying sealant cannot

be over emphasized. Sealant will not adhere properly to a dirty,
oily surface. The entire purpose of the sealant is defeated if it lifts
from the structure after it has been applied.
4-103. MATERIAL PREPARATION. The instructions of the sealant manufacturer should be followed
exactly with regard to both the mixing and storage of the sealants.
Mix only enough sealant to accomplish the work at hand. The application life of the A-2 and B-2 class
sealants is two hours at 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 50 percent relative humidity. For every 10 degrees
temperature rise, the application life is reduced by half, and for every I 0 degrees drop in temperature the
application life is doubled. Increased humidity decreases application life and decreased humidity increases
application life.
The application life of A-1 j 2 class sealant is one-half hour under the same 75 degrees Fahrenheit and
50 percent relative humidity.
NOTE
Use care when mixing sealant to avoid incorporating air into the
sealant.

1810
4-104. APPLICATION OF SEALANTS. The following sequence of sealing should be observed:

a. Seal faying surfaces of assemblies and sub-assemblies prior to assembly which are not accessible
later.
b. Seal joggles, holes, cutout and any other gaps.
c. Seal remaining seams and joints.
d. Seal bolts, screws, nuts and other fasteners.
e. Seal electrical harness.
f. Seal formed-in place gaskets.
NOTE
All sealing is done on the pressure side of the seal plane. This assures
that the pressure will help hold the seal in place.
4-105. SEALING FAYING SURFACES. (Refer to Figure 4-21.) Typcial parts requiring sealing prior to
assembly are bulkhead assemblies that extend above and below the seal plane between bulkhead stations 81
and 274 inclusive·, for the PA-31T and PA-31Tl and between bulkhead stations 57 and 274 inclusive, for the
PA-3lT2, floorboard or floorboard support channels, angles and skin joints behind box bulkheads and
windshields and windows. Type B-2 class sealant should be used. Apply a liberal amount of sealant to each
mating surface of the applicable parts. Assemble and secure the components together before the sealant dries.
NOTE
Sufficient sealant should be applied to insure a continuous extrusion

on both sides of the joint after assembly of the faying surface. (Refer
to Figure 4-21.)
Allow class B-2 sealant to fully cure for 48 hours at 75° F and 50% relative humidity.
4-106. SEALING JOGGLES. (Refer to Figure 4-22.) Joggles should be sealed by completely filling them
with class B-2 sealant. The sealant should be applied by the use of a pressure applicator, forcing the sealant
under the joggle from either side until it begins to extrude on the opposite side of the joggle.
4-107. SEALING HOLES AND VOIDS. (Refer to Figure 4-23.) Voids are defined as gaps between airframe
members which present a direct opening through the pressure vessel structure. Such gaps occur at stringer
cutouts in the pressure bulkheads, forming reliefs and flanges. Holes and voids which are less than .125 wide
should be filled with sealant and building up a bead with a minimum thickness of .062. If the gap is larger than
.125 wide, it must have a mechaoical closure such as a soft rivet or screw and washer, or may t>e packed with
3M-EC-612 putty type sealant to form a base for the sealant.
4-108. HOLES AND VOIDS IN COLD AIR DUCT WORK. (Refer to Figure 4-23.) Sealing in this area is
done to prevent air noises and eliminate undesirable, uncontrollable drafts. Apply sealant to any holes and
voids less than .125 inch wide, and apply 3M #471 plastic tape on inside or outside surface of any holes and
voids larger than . 125 inch.
4-109. SEALING SEAMS AND JOINTS. (Refer to Figure 4-24.) Fillet seals should be used along the edges
of all structures riveted to the skin in the pressurized area, such as frames, stringers, doublers, laps seams and
joints. The sealant is applied with a pressure gun and care is taken to avoid getting any gaps or bridges along
the seam joint. The final dimensions of a cross section of the bead must conform to those shown in Figure 4-24.

m. Apply sealant over seal fitting fasteners in accordance with Paragraph 4-110.
n. Remove tape after sealant has cured ( 16 to 24 hours) by pulling the rip string and unwinding the
tape.
o. All other electrical harnesses and wires use 0-ring type pressure seal bulkhead connectors per
MIL-C-50 15 or "Dura-Grom" type seals.
1H16
4-113. APPLICATION OF RELEASE AGENT. The edges and faying surfaces of removable or hinged
panels shall receive at least two coats of release agent (Polyvinyl Alcohol P.V.A.) prior to the sealant
application, applied approximately .50 inch wider than the mating flange. The panel should be allowed to
air dry between coats. Only removable covers requiring a formed-in-place gasket shall receive an application
of a release agent. Sealant must be applied to the prepared surface within two hours after the completion of
surface preparation. Surfaces not sealed within this time must be prepared again.
CAUTION
Do not use Polyvinyl alcohol as a release agent near acrylic

(Plexiglas) windows. It will craze acrylic plastics.
4-114 .. SEALING FORMED-IN-PLACE GASKETS.
NOTE
This type of seal is used on the lock handle cover of the Radome
of the airplane.
Unless otherwise specified, apply a heavy bead of class B-2 sealant to the mating surfaces not coated with a
release agent and spread evenly until the coating is approximately .062 inch thick. While the sealant is still
fluid, secure the access cover and smooth the excess sealant flush with the top of the cover. Allow to fully
cure for 48 hours at 75° F and 50% relative humidity. After curing, trim the excess sealant from around the
cover; then pry one corner of the panel open, using care not to damage the gasket, and progressively free
the rest of the panel. Remove all release agent and excess sealant from the panel and mating surface.
NOTE
Release agents are removable with water.
NOTE
Do not pressure test the fuselage until the sealing compound has
thoroughly cured.
4-l 15. REMOVAL OF SEALANT. (Refer to Figure 4-28.) When it is necessary to remove flllets or beads
of sealant because of rework or repair, scrape the sealant off with scrapers made of hardwood or plexiglas as
shown in Figure 4-28. It is necessary to remove only the major portion of the flllets or beads. After rework,
the area should be cleaned, resealed and tested for leaks.
4-116. EQUIPMENT CLEAN UP. This must be accomplished within three hours after exposure to room
temperature using naptha, Methylethylketone or Totuol as a cleaning material.
4-117. FIBERGLASS REPAIRS. The repair procedure in this manual will describe the methods for the
repair of fiberglass reinforced structures. Paragraph 4-118 describes Touch-up and Surface Repairs such as
blisters, open seams, delaminations, cavities, small holes, and minor damages that have not harmed the
fiberglass cloth material. Paragraph 4-119 describes Fracture and Patch Repairs such as punctures, breaks,

4-118. FIBERGLASS TOUCH-UP AND SURFACE REPAIRS.

a. Remove wax, oil, and dirt from around the damaged area with acetone, Methylethylketone or
equivalent and remove paint to gel coat.
b. The damaged area may be scraped with a fme blade knife or a power drill with a burr attachment
to roughen the bottom and sides of the damaged area. Feather the edge surrounding the scratch or cavity.
Do not undercut the edge. (If the scratch or cavity is shallow and penetrates only the surface coat, continue
to Step h.)
c. Pour a small amount of resin into a jar lid or on a piece of cardboard, just enough to fill the area
being worked on. Mix an equal amount of milled fiberglass with the resin using a putty knife or stick. Add
catalyst, according to kit instruction, to the resin and mix thoroughly. A hypodermic needle may be used
to inject gel into small cavities not requiring fiberglass millings mixed with the gel.
d. Work the mixture of resin, fibers, and catalyst into the damaged area, using the sharp point of a
putty knife or stick to press it into the bottom of the hole and to puncture any air bubbles which may be
present. Fill the scratch or hole above the surrounding undamaged area about 0.06 inch.
e. Lay a piece of cellophane or waxed paper over the repair to cut off air and start the cure of gel
mixture.
f. Allow the gel to cure 10 to 15 minutes until it feels rubbery to the touch. Remove the cellophane
and trim flush with the surface, using a sharp razor blade or knife. Replace the cellophane and allow to cure
completely for 30 minutes to an hour. The patch will shrink slightly below the structure surface as it cures.
(If wax paper is used, ascertain wax is removed from surface.)
g. Rough up the bottom and edges of the hole with the electric burr attachment or rough
sandpaper. Feather hole into surrounding gel coat, do not undercut.
h. Pour out a small amount of resin; add catalyst and mix thoroughly, using a cutting motion rather
than stirring.' Use no fibers.
i. Using the tip of a putty knife or fmgertips, fill the hole to about 0.06 inch above the surrounding
surface with the gel coat mixture. .
j. Lay a piece of cellophane over the patch to start the curing process. Repeat Step f, trimming
patch when partially cured.
k. After trimming the patch, immediately place another small amount of gel coat on one edge of the
patch and cover with cellophane. Then, using a squeegee or the back of a razor blade, squeegee level with
area surrounding the patch; leave the cellophane on patch for one to two hours or overnight, for complete
cure.
1. After repair has cured for 24 hours, sand patch area using a sanding block with fine wet
sandpaper. Finish by priming, again sanding and applying color coat.

4-119. FIBERGLASS FRACTURE AND PATCH REPAIRS.

a. Remove wax, oil. and dirt from around the damaged area with acetone, Methylethylketone or
equivalent.
b. Using a keyhole saw, electric saber saw, or sharp knife, cut away ragged edges. Cut back to sound
material.
c. Remove paint three inches back from around damaged area.
d. Working inside the structure, bevel the edges to approximately a 30 degree angle and rough sand
the hole and the area around it using 80 grit dry paper. Feather back for about two inches all around the
hole. This roughens the surface for strong bond with patch.
e. Cover a piece of cardboard or metal with cellophane. Tape it to the outside of the structure.
covering the hole completely. The cellophane should face toward the inside of the structure. If the repair is
on a sharp contour or shaped area, a sheet of aluminum formed to a similar contour may be placed over the
area. The aluminum should also be covered with cellophane.
f. Prepare a patch of fiberglass mat and cloth to cover an area two inches larger than the hole.
g. Mix a small amount of resin and catalyst, enough to be used for one step at a time, according to
kit instructions.
h. Thoroughly wet mat and cloth with catalyzed resin. Daub resin on mat first, and then on cloth.
Mat should be applied against structures surface with cloth on top. Both pieces may be wet out on
cellophane and applied as a sandwich. Enough fiberglass cloth and mat reinforcements should be used to at
least replace the amount of reinforcements removed in order to maintain the original strength. If damage
occurred as a stress crack, an extra layer or two of cloth may be used to strengthen area.
i. Lay patch over hole on inside of structure; cover with cellophane and squeegee from center to
edges to remove all air bubbles and assure adhesion around edge of hole. Air bubbles will show white in the
patch, and they should all be worked out to the edge. Remove excess resin before it gels on the part. Allow
patch to cure completely.
j. Remove cardboard or aluminum sheet from outside of hole and rough sand patch and edge of
hole. Feather edge of hole about two inches into undamaged area.
k. Mask area around hole with tape and paper to protect surface. Cut a piece of fiberglass mat about
one inch larger than the hole and one or more pieces of fiberglass cloth two inches larger than the hole.
Brush catalyzed resin over hole; lay mat over hole and wet out with catalyzed resin. Use a daubing action
with brush. Then apply additional layer or layers of fiberglass cloth to build up patch to surface of
structure. Wet out each layer thoroughly with resin.
1. With a squeegee or broad knife, work out all air bubbles in the patch. Work from center to edge,
pressing patch firmly against the structure. Allow patch to cure for 15 to 20 minutes.
m. As soon as the patch begins to set up, but while still rubbery, take a sharp knife and cut away
extra cloth and mat. Cut on outside edge of feathering. Strip cut edges of structure. Do this before cure is
complete, to save extra sanding. Allow patch to cure overnight.
n. Using dry 80 grit sandpaper on a power sander or sanding block, smooth patch and blend with
surrounding surface. Should air pockets appear while sanding, puncture and fill with catalyzed resin. A
hypodermic needle may be used to fill cavities. Let cure and resand.
o. Mix catalyst resin and work into patch with fmgers. Smooth carefully and work into any crevices.
p. Cover with cellophane and squeegee smooth. Allow to cure completely before removing
cellophane. Let cure and resand.
q. Brush or spray a coat of catalyzed resin to seal patch. Sand patch, finish by priming, again
sanding and applying color coat.
NOTE
Brush and hands may be cleaned in solvents such as acetone or

methylethylketone. If solvents are not available, a strong solution
of detergent and water may be used.

4-127. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF DOOR SNUBBER. (Refer to Figure

4-29.) The snubber assembly is a hydraulic cylinder with an orifice type valve on the piston which allows
hydraulic fluid to pass at a predetermined rate during the door opening sequence. When the door is being
closed, the piston is forced in to the cylinder and the orifice valve opens to allow a faster flow rate of
hydraulic fluid.
4-128. FILLING SNUBBER ASSEMBLY. With the snubber piston collapsed into the cylinder, remove the
plug on the cylinder and fill with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid; insert the plug in the cylinder and extend the
piston from the cylinder; work the piston in and out to help remove any trapped air within the cylinder.
Collapse the pistoninto the cylinder and remove the plug; add more fluid as required; then reinsert the plug
in the cylinder.

4-131. CORROSION CONTROL
4-132. GENERAL. Metal c.orrosion is the deterioration of the metal by chemical or electrochemical attack
and can take place internally as well as on the surface. Water or water vapor containing salt combine with
oxygen in the atmosphere produces the main source of corrosion in aircraft. There are two general types of
corrosion which cover most specific forms. One is direct chemical attack such as spilled battery acid or
fumes from batteries, entrapped caustic solutions and residual .flux deposits from inadequately cleaned,
welded, brazed or soldered joints. The other is electrochemical attack which is like the electrolytic reaction
which takes place in electroplating, anodizing, or in a dry cell battery. This reaction requires a medium,
usually water, which is capable of conducting a tiny current of electricity. Different areas of the same metal
surface have varying levels of electrical potential and if connected by a conductor, such as salt water, will
set up a series of corrosion cells and corrosion will commence. The electrochemical type is the most
common and responsible for most forms of corrosion on aircraft structures and component parts. The most
effective method of corrosion control is regular cleaning and surface refinishing to remove the medium and
minute electrical corrosi~ cells; this is the basis for effective corrosion control.
4-133. FORMS OF CORROSION. There are various forms of corrosion depending on the metal involved,
its size, shape and specific function along with atmospheric conditions and what ever corrosion producing
agents are present.
The following will list the most common forms found on airframe structures:
1. Surface Corrosion:
This type appears as a general roughening, etching, or pitting of the surface of the metal,
usually accompanied by a powdery deposit of corrosion products. Surface corrosion is caused by
either direct chemical or electrochemical attack. At times this corrosion may spread under the surface
coating and not be recognized until the paint or plating is lifted off the surface in small blisters which
result from the pressure of the underlying accumulation of corrosion products.
2. Dissimilar Metal Corrosion:
This type of corrosion is also known as galvanic corrosion because of the electrochemical
principle involved. This electrochemical attack can be very serious because the action is usually taking
place out of sight and the only way to detect it prior to structural failure is by disassembly and
inspection.
3. Intergranular Corrosion:
This type of corrosion is an attack of the metal along the grain boundaries of an alloy and
results from the lack of uniformity in the alloy structure. This lack of uniformity is caused by changes
that occur in the alloy during heating and cooling. Intergranular corrosion may exist without visible
surface evidence. This type of corrosion is difficult to detect in its original stage. Very severe corrosion
of this type may cause the surface of the metal to "exfoliate." This is the flaking or lifting of the
metal at the surface due to delamination of the grain boundaries caused by the pressure of corrosive
residual product buildup.
1H24
4. Stress Corrosion:
This type of corrosion is the result of combined effects of sustained tensile stresses and
corrosive environments. It usually occurs in assemblies such as aluminum alloy bellcranks with
pressed-in bushings, landing gear shock struts with pipe-thread type grease fittings, clevis pin joint, and
shrink fit parts.
5. Fretting Corrosion:
This type of corrosion develops when relative motion of small amplitude takes place
between close fitting components. The rubbing contact destroys the protective fllm that was present
on the surfaces and eventually removes small particles of virgin metal from the surfaces. These
particles then act as an abrasive, thus preventing the formation of any protective oxide film and
exposes fresh active metal to the atmosphere.
4-134. CONDITIONS AFFECTING CORROSION. Many things affect the type, cause, speed, and
seriousness of metal corrosion. Some of these conditions can be controlled and some cannot.
1. Climate:
The environmental conditions where an aircraft is maintained and operated will greatly
affect the corrosion characteristics. If the location is in an area of hot, moist climate the corrosion
attack is increased considerably more than an area of dry climate. One of the worst conditions would
be in an area near sea water and salt air.
2. Metal Size and Type:
Variation in size and shape of metal can indirectly affect its corrosion resistance because of
greater chemical composition variations and cooling-rate differences between the surfaces and centers
of the materials.
3. Foreign Material:
Among the list of foreign materials which contribute to corrosion, the following are the
most frequent offenders:
a. Soil and atmospheric dust.
b. Oil, grease, and engine exhaust residues.
c. Salt water and salt moisture condensation.
d. Spilled battery acids and caustic cleaning solutions.
e. Welding, brazing and soldering flux residues. It is very important that the aircraft be
kept clean. The frequency of cleaning will depend on several factors, such as geographical
location, aircraft model and type of operation.
4-135. INSPECTION. Inspection for corrosion should be done on a daily basis due to the fact that
corrosion is a continuing problem. Except for special requirements in trouble areas, inspection for corrosion
should be a part of routine inspections such as daily and preflight.
In addition to the routine inspections the following special requirements should be observed.
1.. Aircraft which are operated in and around a marine atmosphere should be given special checks on
a weekly basis.
2. Aircraft which are operated in semi-arid conditions should be given monthly inspection checks.
3. Checks and inspection for corrosion should be performed by personnel familiar with corrosion
problems and how to treat them.
a. Daily and preflight inspections should include the engine frontal areas, including all intake
vents, engine compartment gaps, seams and faying surfaces in the exterior skins, wheel and wheel
well areas, battery compartment, fuel cell drains and any other drains on the aircraft and if
possible any bilge areas not requiring extensive removal of inspection access covers.
b. Detailed inspection should include the above referenced areas along with areas requiring
removal of screw attached inspection plates and panels to thoroughly inspect the internal cavities
of the aircraft.

4-136. CORROSION REMOVAL AND CONTROL.

a. Corrosion is a natural phenomenon and to assume that it could be prevented or eliminated is a
dream. In most cases the rate of corrosive attack can be reduced to an acceptable level by proper
control methods.
All corrosion products must be completely removed whenever any rework is started. The
corroding process will continue even though the affected area is refmished. The following steps should
be carried out prior to starting any rework.
1. Position the airplane in a wash rack or provide some type of washing apparatus for rapid
rinsing of all surfaces.
2. A static ground line should be connected to the airplane.
3. Remove the airplane battery if required.
4. Protect the pitot-static ports, engine openings airscoops, louvers, wheels, tires and any other
portions of the airplane from moisture and chemical brightening agents.
5. Protect the surfaces next to the rework areas from chemical paint strippers, corrosion
removal agents and surface treatment materials.
b. Evaluation of the corrosion damage is required after the initial inspection and cleaning to
determine the nature and extent of repairs required. To help in evaluating the extent of corrosion the
following guide lines have been established:
1. Light Corrosion: This will appear as discoloration or pitting to a depth of approximately
0.001 of an inch maximum, and is normally removed by light hand sanding or small amount of
chemical treatment.
2. Moderate Corrosion: This will appear similar to light corrosion except there could be some
blistering or evidence of scaling and flaking. Pitting depths may be as deep as 0.010 of an inch.
This type of corrosion damage is normally removed by extensive hand sanding or mechanical
Sai:lding.
3. Severe Corrosion: The general appearance may be similar to moderate corrosion with severe
blistering, exfoliation, scaling and/or flaking. Pitting depths will be deeper than 0.010 of an inch,
and is normally removed by extensive mechanical sanding or grinding.
c. Corrosion Removal: There are several standard methods for corrosion removal. The method used
depends upon the metal and the extent of corrosion. The methods normally used are chemical
treatments, hand sanding with abrasive paper or metal wool, and mechanical sanding or buffing with
abrasive mats, or ~ding wheels.
In some special cases a particular method may be required, depending upon type and extent of
corrosion. For example, corrosion in a hole may require removal by enlarging the hole, or abrasive
blasting may be required to remove corrosion from steel fasteners, or irregular shaped parts or
surfaces.
All depressions resulting from corrosion rework must be faired or blended with the surrounding
surface. This is accomplished by first removing any rough edges and corrosion from the damaged area,
and then blending the edges of the reworked area in an elliptical shape with the major axis in the
longitudinal direction. In areas which have multiple pits closely spaced the intervening material should
be removed to minimize surface irregularity or waviness.
d. Reprotecting of the repaired areas is very important and should be accomplished as soon as the
repair work is completed to insure the control of corrosion reappearing at the same area. The surface
should be protected in the same manner as was originally manufactured unless the manufacturer
recommends some other procedure or protective coating.

PIPER CHEYENNESERVICE MANUAL
4-137. RADOME BOOT.
4-138. LIST OF MATERIALS.

a. Radome Boot- 3M No. SJ-8665 FP-1.
b. Marking pen.
c. Sponge or spray bottle.
d. Isopropyl alcohol.
e. Wetting solution: 25% isopropyl alcohol, 75% water, plus 1 teaspoon of liquid detergent (Ivory,
Joy) per gallon of solution.
f. 3M PA-l plastic squeeze or equivalent.
g. Masking tape - 1/2" wide.
h. Industrial razor blade knife.
4-139. REMOVAL OF RADOME BOOT.

a. Carefully score the top surface of the radome boot with a razor blade knife dissecting the boot into
triangular pie-shaped sections approximately 4" to 6" at the base.
b. Pull sections off at approximately a 180° angle.
c. If adhesive residue remains after removal of film, adhesive may be removed by wiping with a rag
saturated with a mixture of 75% M EK and 25% toluene, and then scraping with the PA-l plastic applicator.
d. Care should be exercised in the use of this mixture because of possible damage to the radome
surface.
e. An alternate 3M Woodgrain and Stripe Adhesive Remover Part No. 08908 aerosol spray can be
used for removing adhesive residue.
4-140. PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION OF RADOME BOOT.

a. Thoroughly wash repair, primed radome with isopropyl alcohol and wipe dry.
b. Use a marking pen to place an orientation mark (+) on the top center of radome surface.
c. Position 'boot, with protective liner still in place, over radome.
I. Rotate to determine optimum fit.
2. On the top center of the boot surface, use a marking pen to trace over the orientation mark ( +).
3. Add a vertical orientation mark overlapping the bottom of the boot onto the side of the
radome.
d. Turn boot inside out and place over radome (disregard orientation marks).
I. Carefully remove transparency protective liner. Saturate the exposed adhesive surface with
wetting solution as the liner is being removed to prevent adhesive to adhesive contact. (A sponge or spray
bottle can be used.)
2. After the liner has been removed, make sure that the entire adhesive surface has been saturated
with wetting solution.
3. Remove boot.
4. Now, completely saturate the radome surface with wetting solution.
e. Place the boot over the radome (adhesive side to radome) carefully aligning the orientation marks.
During this step, the boot will be right side in.
f. After proper alignment has been made, squeeze out wetting solution, starting at the top center and
working out and down. Care should be taken to avoid blisters under the boot.
g. If after application of the boot, there appears to be blisters beneath the surface, piercing them with
an ordinary safety pin will relieve the entrapped air or wetting solution so that the blister can be worked out
with the squeegee. .
h. Wrap the outside circumference of the boot with I /2" wide masking tape at the desired location.
Trim boot with an industrial razor blade knife being careful not to cut into the radome skin surface.
1. Wash boot with isopropyl alcohol, wipe dry and paint with a suitable polyurethane paint system.

113
4-141. INSPECTION OF RADOM£ BOOT.

a. Inspect for cuts, blisters, perforations, edge lifting, etc. every I 00 hours.
b. The boot should be replaced at the first sign of damage. Refer to, Removal of Radome Boot
instructions given in this section.
4-142. EROSION SHOE.
4-143. LIST OF MATERIALS.

a. Erosion Shoe- 3A5124.
b. Cement, EC-1403 or 1300L.
c. Scissors (2" blades with pointed tips).
d. Solvents -Toluol, Methylethylketone.
e. Cloth (clean and lint-free).
f. Paint brushes (one I Y2 '' or 2" and one Y2 ").
g. 2" sponge roller.
h. 3 or 4 oz. oil can (dirt and oil free).
1. Masking tape ( Y2" and l" widths).
J. Flexible straightedge.
k. Hypodermic needle - 22 ga.
l. Ys" steel stitcher roller.
m. ..v" knife.
NOTE
MEK (Methylethylketone) can be used instead of toluol to activate

cement. However, M EK causes very rapid drying and provides only
I0 seconds working time for application compared with 40 seconds
for Toluol.
CAUTION
All cements and solvents used are flammable and their fumes
slightly toxic. Therefore, all work should be done in a well ventilated
area away from any sparks or flame.
4-144. GENERAL. Ambient temperature for installation should be between 40°F and II0°F. Humidity
must be below 99% during installation. Longer drying time of cement, coats may be required as humidity
approaches 99%.
EC 1403 cement is normally used as received. However. erosion shoes with a tapered trailing edge or shoes
with a gage of less than .060 should be installed with cement diluted with one part MEK to two parts of cement
for smoother, neater installation.
NOTE
Use only clean, lint-free cloths for cleaning and activating cement
coats.
Apply cement coats evenly and uniformly. Cement has reached .. proper tack" when it looses ..webbiness"
and when touched with back of a finger knuckle, feels sticky but will not pull loose.

114
4-145. REMOVAL OF EROSION SHOE.

a. Squirt a little toluol from clean oil can to soften the adhesion line.
b. Apply minimum amount of solvent while slight tension is applied to the shoe.
c. Allow solvent to do most of the work.
4-146. PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION OF EROSION SHOE.

a. All paint must be removed by using appropriate paint remover or by sanding. (Epoxy-based paint
need only be roughened.) Any holes or dents in the structure must be filled with the appropriate repair material
and sanded. Clean the area to be covered, using MEK or equivalent.
b. Dry fit erosion shoe to the cleaned structure. Position identified ..top" surface of erosion shoe on top
surface of structure. Then adjust each side to provide equal distance from the trailing edge of the shoe to the
structure attachment line. Smooth out any wrinkles.
I. Now apply W' masking tape to the structure, next to the shoe's trailing edge.
c. At the top, draw a mark on the masking tape to correspond with the centerline mark on the inside
of the erosion shoe. Repeat at bottom and remove erosion shoe from structure.
d. Apply I" wide masking tape to butt against forward edge of the Y2" wide tape previously applied.
Leading edge of I" tape will now provide the final trim line.
NOTE
Smaller erosion shoes with ad istance of less than I0" from the center
to the trailing edge may be installed by applying the Y2" masking tape
approximately 1/.t" beyond the shoe trailing edge and need not be
final trimmed.
e. Clean the marked off area thoroughly with MEK or equivalent. For fin~Jl cleaning. wipe the solvent
film off quickly with a clean cloth before it dries.
I. Now wash the back (rough surface) of erosion shoe with a clean cloth moistened with MEK.
(They are dusted to prevent sticking.) Change cloths frequently to avoid recontamination.
CAUTION
Do both complete cleaning operations at least twice.
f. Thoroughly mix EC 1403 (or equivalent) cement before using. Apply one even brush coat to both the
back surface of erosion shoe and the mating structure, up to the masking tape. Allow first coat to air dry a
minimum of 30 minutes. If temperature is below 50° F allow cement to dry at least one hour.
I.. Apply a second cement coat to both surfaces allowing to dry thoroughly for at least one-half
hour (one hour preferred). Apply cement evenly to assure smooth installation.
2. Parts may be cemented up to a maximum of 48 hours before actual installation. if cemented
parts are covered and kept clean.
g. Using a straightedge, draw a line on the structure to connect the upper and lower marks previously
put on the masking tape. (Cement will now be dry and tack free.)
I. Position the shoe on the structure (dry cemented surfaces against each other) so reference lines
coincide. Hold the shoe at its central area. Do not move or change its referenced position as you prepare to
activate the cement.

115
h. Fold back the trailing edge and use a clean, lint-free cloth moistened (not dripping) with toluol, to
activate the cement on the nose or leading edge of the shoe. Activate mating areas, not to exceed one square
foot at a time. Avoid excessive rubbing which could remove cement from surfaces.
i. After cement reaches "proper state of tack" (refer to paragraph 4-145), roll activated part of shoe
against structure with sponge roller. Match reference lines as shoe is rolled down. Use care to prevent trapping
air between shoe and structure. Avoid stretching the shoe: otherwise, difficulty will be encountered around the
lower periphery.
NOTE
When cementing, activating and rolling erosion shoes on radome,

start at the center and work in concentric circles outward.
CAUTION
Avoid twisting or sharp creasing of shoe. Otherwise, cement may be

pulled loose from structure or shoe.
j. Should it be necessary to remove or loosen an installed shoe, squirt a little toluol from clean oil can
to soften the "adhesion" line. Apply only minimum amount of solvent while slight tension is applied to the
shoe. Allow solvent to do most of the work of separating cemented coats because if cement pulls loose from
either the structure or shoe, the area must be re-cemented.
I. Now activate another section adjacent to the bonded area. Be certain to activate cement
immediately adjacent to the bond line, thus assuring complete adhesion throughout installation. When cement
has reached "proper state of tack," roll down thoroughly and continue until shoe is completely attached.
k. Using sponge roller, go over entire surface. applying pressure and rolling from the center line or
leading edge outward to trailing edge of shoe. With steel stitcher roller, roll thoroughly at trailing edge line
where shoe meets the 1." tape. .
I. Make initial cui into material overlapping the tape, using scissors held at an angle. Using a "v" knife
or pair of scissors with blades opened to form a "v." neatly trim off excess shoe material overlapping edge of
I" tape. applying light. uniform tension to trim material. .
m. If an air pocket or blister is formed, release air by inserting a hypodermic needle at 45° angle or less,
pointed toward center or leading edge. Apply finger pressure on blister to remove air and reroll using steel
stitcher.
I. Remove all masking tape and clean excess cement from structure using MEK, wiping away
from the trailing edge. Prevent solvent from running under and loosening edges of erosion shoe. Restitch shoe
at its trailing edge, using Ys" steel stitcher. ·
2. Inspect complete trailing edge to see that it is firmly bonded.

SECTIONV
SURF ACE CONTROLS
5-1. INTRODUCTION. This section explains the removal, installation, rigging and adjustment procedures
for the various control surfaces of the airphme. The different control surfaces do not have to be removed in
order of paragraphs in this section, since each paragraph describes the individual removal and installation of
each control surface. A troubleshooting chart is located at the end of this section.
5-2. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. The primary flight controls are of the
conventional type, operated by dual-control wheels and rudder pedals. On the forward end of each control
column is a tube and sprocket assembly. A chain is wrapped around the sprockets to connect the right and
left controls. Over an additional sprocket on the left assembly is a chain that connects to cables that
operate the aileron bellcrank and push-pull rods. Also on each control column is a roller assembly that
connects through links to control arms, a torque tube and a sector assembly. Attached to the sector are
control cables that operate the elevator bellcrank and push-pull rod. Attached to the left set of rudder pedal
arms are control cables that lead to the rudder sector. The rudder pedals also control the action of the
brakes and the nose wheel steering. For coordinated action of the rudder and ailerons, their control cables
are interconnected through a cable spring system. The aileron, elevator, and rudder trim controls are
mounted on the pedestal along with position indicators for each trim system. As the controls are moved at
the pedestal, they rotate cable wrapped drums below the floorboards and in tum activate the particular
trim system desired. A mechanical indicating system is used to show the position of each trim tab. The wing
flap system consists of a three position flap selector switch, a reversible permanent magnet motor that
supplies power to operate the flaps through flexible driveshafts to transmission assemblies in the trailing
edge of each wing. As the flaps are extended or retracted, a sender unit located in the left wing transmits a
signal to a flap position indicator mounted in the instrument panel. Incorporated in the flap system is an
approach position that allows the pilot to automatically select 15 degrees of flap extension by placing the
selector switch in the approach position. As the flaps are extended, an arm mounted on the sender unit
shaft contacts a switch to limit flap extension to the approach position. A time delay switch in the flap
system prevents an excessive asymmetric extension of flaps under the condition that the left flap fails to
move from either completely retracted or extended position.
S-3. TROUBLESHOOTING. Troubles peculiar to the control systems are listed in Table V-III at the end of
this section along with their probable causes and suggested remedies.
5-4. STANDARD PROCEDURES. The following tips may be helpful in the removal and installation of the
various assemblies:
a. It is recommended, though not always necessary, to level and place the airplane on jacks during
rigging and adjustment of controls.
b. Remove turnbuckle barrels from cable ends before withdrawing cables through structures.
c. Tie a cord to the cable end before drawing the cable through the structures to facilitate
reinstallation of cable.
d. Turnbuckle stations are given at neutral position.
e. When referring to marking cable ends, etc., before disconnecting, a felt marker may be used.
Reissued: 2/6/81 SURFACE CONTROLS
1110
f. When turnbuckles have been set to correct cable tension, no more than three threads should be
exposed from either end of the turnbuckle barrel.
g. Cable tension should be taken with the appropriate surface control in its neutral position.
NOTE
Whenever the elevator control system is serviced, a friction check
of the system must be accomplished in accordance with
instructions given in Section IV, Paragraph 4-95 of this manual.
h. Be certain that all cable guard pins are installed in their proper location, and are not interfering
with control cable travel.
i. When installing rod end jam nuts refer to Figure 5-2 for proper installation method.
5-5. CONTROL COLUMN ASSEMBLY.
5-6. REMOVAL OF CONTROL COLUMN ASSEMBLY. (Refer to Figure 5-l.)

a. To remove either control wheel ( 43) with tube (27 or 44), proceed as follows:
1. Mark the control tube (27 or 44), ring (26), and collar (21) in relation to their location
·around the roller fitting (23). .
2. Cut the wire (24) that safeties the cap bolts (25) that secure the control tube (27 or 44) and
ring (26) to the roller fitting (23). Remove the cap bolts from the fitting.
3. Slide the control tube from the roller fitting and ring and draw the tube from the
instrument panel. Hold the square tube (31) assembly so that it will not fall.
b. The square tube (31) assembly may be removed and disassembled by the following procedure:
1. Remove the cotter pins (33) and bolt assemblies (32) that join the links (30) with the
controlarm(ll and 13,or 16and 18).
2. Remove the bolt assembly (35) that joins the forward end of the square tube (31) with the
flexible joint (36) of the sprocket assembly. Remove the square tube assembly from behind .the instrument
panel.
3. The square tube assembly may be disassembled by first removing the collar (34) from the
tube (31 ). Draw the tube from the roller fitting (23).
4. Cut the wire (24) that safeties the cap bolts (59) that secure the collar (21) to the roller
fitting (23). Remove the bearing housing (22) from the fitting.
5. Disassemble the rollers (61) from the fitting. Note the number and location of the spacer
washers (64).
c. The sprocket assembly may be removed from the bulkhead and disassembled by the following
procedure:
1. Disconnect one of the two turnbuckles ( 41) that connect the horizontal roller chains ( 40
and 42). Remove the outboard chain guard (72) from the inside of the sprocket housing (75). Unwrap the
chain from the sprocket that is to be removed.
2. If the left sprocket assembly (75) is to be removed, first remove the floor panel located between
the control pedestal and left side of the fuselage. Loosen one of the aileron cable turnbuckles to relieve tension
from the vertical roller chain (52). Disconnect one end of the chain where it attaches to the control cable and
unwrap the chain from the sprocket.
3. Remove the cap bolts (39) that attach the sprocket housing to the bulkhead and remove the
housing.
4. To disassemble the sprocket assembly, remove the bolt that secures the sprocket to the
sprocket stud (74). Use a Kaynar wrench (P/N Wl0-3) to remove the hex nut.

5-32. DETERMINING THE FRICTION IN THE ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. The complete
elevator control system (including autopilot if installed) shall be rigged to its proper travels and cable tensions
prior to determining friction in the system.
"TOTAL FRICTION" in the PA-31 T elevator control system shall not be in the excess of 10 pounds on
earlier models and 11 pounds on models with serial numbers 31 T -7920053, 31 T -802000 l and up, with the arm
on SAS actuator full down and elevator in neutral position. On the PA-31 Tl only, adjust the turnbuckle to
obtain 43 ± l pounds tension and on the PA-31 T2 only, 48 ± l pounds tension on the elevator control spring,
with elevator in neutral position. "TOTAL FRICTION" in the PA-31 T land PA-31 T2 elevator control system
shall not exceed 11 pounds. Determine the actual friction in the system by using the following procedure:
a. Attach a spring scale to the inboard trailing edge of the elevator, outboard of the tab.
b. With spring scale attached, position the elevator trailing edge down approximately 2.00 inches from
the neutral position.
c. Record the force (see Step g.) required to raise the elevator thru the neutral position until the
trailing edge is approximately 2.00 inches above neutral.
d. Record the restraining force lowering the elevator from the 2.00 inches up position thru the neutral
position to the original 2.00 inches down.
e. Repeat the above raising and lowering processes until average forces are obtained.
f. The total friction is obtained by subtracting the two forces.
NOTE
Do not exceed 60 pounds force for any measurement.
g. The elevator shall be rotated with a steady movement and the force reading taken when the elevator
is passing thru the neutral position. Do not stop rotation when taking reading.

c. Remove the safety wire (12) and disconnect the flexible actuator shaft (4 and 6).
d. Remove the spreader bushing and washers (14) from between the transmission attachment brackets.
e. Remove the transmission from its mounting brackets and draw the unit through the access opening in the
wing false spar.
5-62. CLEANING, INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF FLAP TRANSMISSION. (See paragraphs 3-8, 3-9, 3-10,
and 3-11, Section III, for Wing Flap Transmission and Actuator Cable Inspection and Repair.)
a. Clean the transmission assembly with a suitable solvent.
b. Inspect the transmission tube for excessive end or side play on the transmission screws.
c. Check that the transmission tube, screw, and rod end are not distorted or bent.
d. Check that the screw bearing is not loose on the transmission screw or within the transmission housing.
Excess wear can be determined by holding the transmission and moving the screw up and down.
e. Check for excess wear within the transmission by turning the screw by hand and noting the end and side
play in the transmission drive shaft. End play should not be great enough to cause end pressure on the
motor drive shaft.
f. Should any of these checks show excess wear, corrosion or damage, the transmission or its components
should be replaced.
g. Check the solenoid brake assembly for any excess wear, broken parts, sticking or burned out solenoid, and
repair or replace the assembly.
h. After the transmission screw and tube have been cleaned and dried, a coating of Aircraft Actuator Grease,
Specification MIL-G-23827, should be applied to the screw, ball nut and transmission.
1. When the transmission assembly is disassembled for any reason, or at 500 hours, it should be repacked 75
percent full with Dukes PIN 2196-74-1 grease.
5-63. INSTALLATION OF FLAP TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. (Refer to Figure 5-20.)
Ascertain that the correct flap transmission assemblies are being installed by checking the part numbers on the
assemblies with information in the latest Parts Catalog. The reason for this is to prevent the possible use of
different transmissions with different gear ratios, such as one 20: 1 transmission and one 40: 1 transmission used on
the same airplane flap installation.
a. Lubricate the flap transmission assembly in accordance with lubrication chart.
b. Insert the transmission through the access opening in the wing false spar and attach to its mounting
brackets. To allow the transmission to rotate, tighten the attachment bolts (28) only finger tight and safety.
c. Install the spreader bushing with one washer between each mounting bracket and bushing. Install the
through bolt and secure.
d. If working with the left transmission (7), connect the flexible actuator shaft (6) (per Paragraph 5-60) and

d. Loosen the sender attachment nut and slide the sender from its mounting bracket.
e. The Flap limit switches (20 and 25) and the flap approach position switch (24) may also be removed
through the access opening.
Interim Revision: 10/15/97 1K7 SURFACE CONTROLS

5-65. INSTALLATION OF FLAP POSITION SENDER. (Refer to Figure 5-20.)

a. Start the sender shaft (21) through its mounting bracket hole and install the attachment washer
and nut over the shaft. Continue to slide the shaft through the hole and install the ann (22) and actuator
(14) on the shaft. Secure the sender (23) in position. Allow the sender arm (22) and the actuator (14) to be
free to rotate.
b. Connect the electrical leads.
c. Check rigging and adjustment per instructions given in this section.
5-66. RIGGING AND ADJUSTMENT OF FLAP. (Refer to Figure 5-20.)

a. Remove the access plate on the right wing false spar at station 92.50 and on the left wing false
spar at stations 92.50 and 10 1.
b. The rigging and adjustment of the flap may be accomplished by the following procedure:
1. Ascertain that the flexible actuator shaft (6) to the left transmission assembly (7) is
connected and safetied and that the right shaft (4) is disconnected from the right transmission (3). (Refer
to Paragraph 5-60.)
2. Ascertain that the position sender arm (22) is free to rotate on the sender shaft (21) or the
linkage rod ( 15) is disconnected at the flap and taped back inside the wing.
3. With the flap disconnected from the transmission tube ( 19), tum the actuator tube out 28
turns from its forward stop position; align the attachment hole in the tube with the holes in the flap hom
and temporarily install bolt ( 18).
4. Check alignment of the actuator and flap hom ( 17) by sighting along the actuator tube ( 19)
while the flap is in both the near extended and retracted positions. Do not run flap to its extreme position
(end of tracks).
5. Should the tube (19) and hom (17) not align, disconnect the tube and loosen the bolts
securing the hom to the flap enough to allow the hom to be moved by tapping with a soft hammer.
Connect the tube to the hom and tap the horn to achieve a satisfactory alignment. Lower the flap to t_he
near extended position; disconnect the tube from the horn and torque the hom attachment bolts.
6. With the actuator tube (19) and flap horn (17) aligned, connect the tube to the horn with
bolt assembly ( 18). Tighten the castellated nut so as to allow .03 inches thrust play of the bolt and safety.
7. Connect the right flexible actuator shaft (4) to the right transmission assembly (3). (Refer
to Paragraph 5-60.)
8. With the right flap disconnected from the transmission tube, tum the right tube out as far as
necessary to give the right flap the same angular setting as the left flap. (Rigging the right flap to the left
flap may require a smaller angular adjustment than can be accomplished by rotating the transmission
actuator sleeve 180 o on the screw. This can be done by disconnecting the flexible shaft from the
transmission and turning the transmission worm gear with a short slot head screwdriver.)
NOTE
When measuring flap deflection angles, lift the trailing edge of the
flap to eliminate play between rollers and track slots.
c. The adjustment of the flap limit switches may be accomplished by the following procedure:
l. Run the flaps to the full down position and if not previously accomplished, loosen the screw
that clamps the sender arm (22) on the sender shaft (21).
2. Laterally locate the arm on the sender shaft so the adjustment bolts (26 and 27) on the arm
(22) will contact the limit switch (20 and 25) plungers in the center of the bolt head.
3. Tighten the arm clamping screw (30) in such a way that moving the arm (22) will rotate the
sender shaft (21), but the arm will slip on the shaft if the shaft is securely held.
4. Connect the linkage rod ( 15) to the tab on the flap using the rod attachment bushing ( 16)
and screw with nylon insert. The rod should extend through the bushing ( 16) and screw with nylon insert.
The rod should extend through the bushing .12 of an inch.
1K8
5. Adjust the flaps to extended settings as given in Table V-I by loosening the jam nut on the
proper adjustment bolt (27) and turning in or out as required to actuate the down limit switch (20).
Tighten the jam nut.
6. Run the flap up to a near retracted position. Make a full extension run to insure that the
momentum of the flap going down and tightening of the jam nut has not moved the flap setting from the
setting tolerance.
7. Adjustment of the up limit switch (25) is accomplished in the same manner except that the
flaps should be stopped in the retracted position just as the flap rollers approach the end of track slots.
(Approximately l 116 of an inch on the closest roller both flaps.)
8. Laterally locate the approach switch arm (14) on the sender shaft so the arm will contact
the roller on the switch actuator in the center. Position the arm on the sender shaft as shown in Figure
5-20, Sketch D.
d. Check the adjustment of the flap position indicator.
e. Refer to Section III, for information on reduction of friction and for wing flap motor no load RPM
check if operational problems exist in the flap system.
f. Flexible shaft assemblies disconnected from transmissions or from flap motor necessitates a
check of the clearance between the inner cable and outer cable sheath with the transmission end of the
cable connected per Paragraph 5-60.
g. Check that all necessary bolts are safetied, clamps secured and access plates installed.
5-67. RIGGING AND ADJUSTMENT OF FLAP POSITION SENDER.

a. Lower the flaps and remove the access plates on the left wing false spar at stations 92.50 and
101.
b. Lower the flaps to an angle of 15° .! 1° (lift flap trailing edge to obtain angle measurement);
loosen sender arm (22) on the sender shaft (21) and rotate the shaft until the wing flap indicator on the
instrument panel shows the flap at the takeoff position (bottom of white arc).
c. Tighten the arm (22) on the sender shaft. Check the three flap positions (retracted, takeoff and
extended) with respect to the angular settings and indicated positions on the wing flap indicator.
d. Position the approach switch arm (14) on the sender shaft per instructions given in Paragraph
5-66. Check that the approach flap switch (24) is activated when the flaps are lowered to 15° ± 1° (lift flap
trailing edge to obtain angle measurement).
e. Install the access plates.
5-68. ADJUSTMENT OF FLAP SELECTOR SWITCHES. (Refer to Figure 5-21.) The flap selector
switches are located on the forward side of the instrument panel directly behind the flap selector handle.
There are two switches used in this installation; the larger switch is identified on the electrical schematic
(of Section XV) as SW-1 while the second switch (smaller) is SW-2. Adjustment should be made with the
switch assembly removed .from the instrument panel.
a. With switch SW -1 in its center position, adjust the bottom set screw (2) on the actuator bracket
(4) until it just touches the toggle of switch SW-2 which must have its toggle in the down position; then
lock the set screw.
b. Move the selector actuator (l) to actuate switch SW-2 with set screw (2); return the actuator to
its center position.
c. Adjust the top set screw (5) until it just touches the toggle of switch SW-2; then lock the set
screw in place.
d. Move the selector actuator ( l) in both extreme positions, full up and full down to assure that
switch SW-2 is actuated in both extreme positions, but not actuated in the center position.
5-69. INSPECTION OF TIME DELAY SWITCH OPERATION. (Between Left Wing Stations 97.50 and
109.50.) This inspection should be done after the flaps have been rigged and checked for normal operation.
The time delay switch is installed in the flap electrical system so that when the flap switch is actuated (flaps
completely extended or retracted), and if after one second the left flap does not move off the limit
switches, the time delay switch shuts off the flap motor. The right flap will travel approximately 4.5° ± l o.

a. Lower the flaps and remove the access plates to the limit switches in the left wing false spar at
stations 92.50 and 101.
b. With the flaps part way d·own, depress the up limit switch and select flap down. The system
should shutdown within one second. With the limit switch still depressed (if the limit switch is opened, the
time delay switch will reset and allow the system to become operative), return the flap selector switch to
neutral position and again select flaps down. The system should be inoperative. Determine that the flap
travel was not more than 4.5° ± 1°.
c. Repeat Step b except depress the down limit switch and select flaps up. The system should again
shutdown in one second and the flap travel should not exceed 4.5° ± 1°.
NOTE
The only way that further right flap extension can occur after the
time delay switch shuts off the motor, is if the pilot would cycle
the flap circuit breaker off and on, and again select flaps.
The time delay switch does not affect or shutoff the flap motor if
a failure occurs when the left flap is between the up and down
limit switches.
The time delay switch is passive in the flap electrical system during
normal flap operation.
d. Reinstall the access plates in the left wing false spar at stations 92.50 and 101.

5-70. WING FLAP CONTROLS. (CALCO SYSTEM.) (Refer to Figures 5-22 and 5-31.)
S-71. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The wing flap control system provides continuous control and
monitoring of flap position and condition over its full range. In addition to the limiting of both up and down
overtravel, the system will shut the driving mechanism off in the event of a 5° differential position between
right and left flap position and it will self-monitor and automatically react appropriately in the event of critical
component failure in the control circuitry.
Preselection of any desired flap position from full up (0°) to full down (40°) is possible thru the position-
ing of the selector control which has an 80° stroke analog lever. (That is, 2° oflever movement represents 1° of
wing flap movement.) The selector incorporates a friction type drag brake to hold the lever at any desired
intermediate position as well as ball lock detents at 0°, 15°, and 40° of flap extension. Flaps are deployed
mechanically by a single motor driving through two flexible shafts connected to individual ball screw
actuators. .
Selection of the desired flap position moves RC relative to RL with a resultant amplifier output which will
operate the flap motor through contactors K I and K2 to move the left and right flaps to the desired position. If
at any time the amplifier sees a differential voltage in excess of 0.55 VDC between RL and RR, the amplifier
will shut the system off. This condition corresponds to a maximum differential of 5° of flap position.
A flap fault test switch is provided to check the control circuitry for asymmetrical flap protection as well
as the operation of the fault lamp switching transistor. The activation of this switch while flaps are in motion
will give a false signal to the right side follower potentiometer, simulating an out-of-sync condition causing the
amplifier to shut the system off and illuminate the fault light. Release of the switch will clear the simulated fault
and allow the system to respond normally to selector position command.
5-72. REMOVAL OF FLAP ACTUATOR MOTOR. (Refer to Figure 5-24.)

a. Remove the center floor panel located in the main cabin area. The flap actuator motor (5) is
located on the forward side of the fuselage bulkhead at station 174.
b. Disconnect the electrical leads from the motor.
c. Cut the safety wire (12) and disconnect the flexible drive shaft ends (4 and 6) from the motor.
d. Remove the clamp (9) that holds the motor on its mounting bracket (13). Remove the motor.
e. If desired to replace the shock grommets in the bulkhead, the motor with its mounting bracket may
be removed together by removing the bracket mounting bolts at the bulkhead.

5-93. RIGGING AND ADJUSTMENT OF FLAPS. Following are definitions of terms .used in th~
description and service information presented in the following paragraphs:
RC = Control Potentiometer Wiper at Selector
RL =Left Wing Flap Potentiometer Wiper
RR = Right Wing Flap Potentiometer Wiper
VC = Voltage at RC (Control)
VL = Voltage at RL (Left Flap)
VR =Voltage at RR (Right Flap)
6 VCL = Voltage difference between VC and VL at flap up position
C:.VCR = Voltage difference between VC and VR at flap up position
LWRL =Voltage difference between VR and VL
RT2 =Amplifier Trimmer Adjustment - Left
RT3 = Amplifier Trimmer Adjustment- Right
The control rheostat operated by the flap selector will be referred to throughout this rigging procedure as
RC (rheostat control). The wing flap rheostats will be designated as RL (rheostat left) and RR (rheostat right).
The voltages present or read at the center taps will be referred to as VC, VL and VR respectively.
Proper operation after rigging, requires that the rheostat (RL) on the left flap must respond to any
changes in the flap position selector rheostat (RC) in the form of VL and VC. It follows that the amount of
stroke travel, as well as how it is centered with respect to the ends, will be determined by how RL is adjusted
relative to RC. Since VC is fixed and cannot be changed, a trimmer pot RT2 is provided in the control
amplifier to allow adjustment of VL to agree with VC.
Throughout all of the adjustment procedures it is important that, whatever changes are made to RL and
RT2, must also be made toRR and RT3. It is the function of RR to track RL over the entire stroke range and
shut the system OFF if the outputs in the form of VL and VR deviate by more than 0.55-vo\ts. This voltage
differential ( 6 V ) corresponds to a five-degree asymmetrical flap condition. An additional function of RR
is to provide a voltage input to the control amplifier in order to provide an output to the flap position indicator.
All adjustments are made with the motor circuit breaker pulled (off) and the flaps in the down position.
Adjustment procedures will require a digital voltmeter.
NOTE
In general, the adjustments of RL, RR, RT2 and RT3 are always
made with the flaps in the DOWN position and the magnitude of
these adjustments will be based on the values of VC, VL and VR
measured with flaps in the UP position.

1K19
WARNING
All adjustments must be made with the motor power off.
CAUTION
Ascertain that all electrical power to the flap control system is OFF.
(Pull flap control and motor circuit breakers, set battery master
switch OFF and have no external power applied to the aircraft.)
1. Remove access plates on the false spar at wing stations 92.50 and 101.0 for both right and left
wmgs.
2. Remove access plates on the bottom of the wings at wing stations 82.75 and 92.50.
3. Ascertain that the flap position sender arm is free to rotate on the rheostat shaft and that the
linkage rod is set at the proper length. (See Figure 5-30, Sketch A.)
· 4. With the transmission assemblies NOT attached to the flaps and turned in all the way to the
ball nut seat, ascertain that the flaps are free to roll full travel on the flap tracks.
5. By manually moving the flap, adjust the UP limit actuating bolt so that the switch is actuated
with .03 inch maximum gap between the rollers and the end of the flap track slots. (See Figure 5-30, Sketch B.)
NOTE
It is the intent here that the electrical limit be reached just prior to the
mechanical bottoming-out of the rollers in the slot.
6. Repeat the procedure of Step 5 preceding, to adjust the DOWN limit switch. (See preceding
NOTE.)
7. With the flaps resting on a .06 inch diameter rod between the rollers and the end of the flap
track slots, turn the transmission sleeves out .from their forward stops approximately 32 turns, align the attach-
ment holes in the sleeves with the holes in their respective flap horns and temporarily install the attachment
bolts. The difference in the number of turns between the right and left transmissions should not exceed 1I 2
turn.
8. Check for proper alignment of sleeve and flap hom. Should the sleeve and horn not align,
loosen the bolts attaching the horn to the flap enough to allow the horn to be moved by tapping to achieve
proper alignment. Retorque hom attachment bolts.
9. With the sleeve and horn properly aligned, connect the sleeve to the horn with bolt and
castellated nut. Tighten the nut so as to allow .03 inches thrust play of the bolt. Install cotter pin.
10. Connect the flexible drive shafts to the transmissions. Be sure that the splines are properly
engaged and run the shaft attaching nut on finger tight. Safety with MS20995C41 wire.
11. Remove the covers from RT2 and RT3 on flap control amplifier and ascertain that both
trimmers are in their full clockwise position (maximum resistance).
12. Apply external power to the aircraft and establish bus voltage at 28 ± .5-volts.
13. Place the flap selector in the DOWN position.
14. Engage flap control circuit breaker- DO NOT engage flap motor circuit breaker at this time.
Allow five minute warm-up time.
15. Measure VC voltage at RC and adjust voltages VL and VR to 0.20-volts below VC by rotating
the shafts on rheostats RL and RR in the wings. (If VC is 9.0; VL and VR are to be 8.80-volts.)
16. Lock actuator arms on rheostat shafts. Remeasure VC, VL and VR to be sure they are still
the same values. Readjust if necessary. Record voltages on work sheet.
17. Move flap selector to the UP position. Listen for audible click of motor solenoid. If solenoid
does not actuate check wiring for proper interconnect.

18. Move flap selector back to full DOWN position.

19. Engage flap motor circuit breaker and move selector to full UP flaps. When the flaps stop
moving (actuating arm may not engage the UP limit switch) record system voltages on a work sheet as follows:
VC
DOWN Position X·XX -
VL
X·XX
VR
X·XX
UP Position X·XX X·XX X·XX
20. The values at the DOWN position have already been established for VC, VL and VR in Step
15. At this time enter the readings for VC, VL and VR at the UP position. The work sheet might now resemble
the following example (Voltage values used in this example are for illustrative purposes only. They are NOT
system requirements):
vc VL VR
DOWN Position 9.15 8.95 8.95
UP Position 4.06 *4.42 *4.36
(a) *If VL and VR in the preceding example differ by more than .5-volts, an out of sync.
shutdown has occurred due to an actuator arm being loose on the rheostat shaft. If this
has happened, select flaps full DOWN and place a jumper wire between RL and RR at the
amplifier. Pull flap motor circuit breaker and readjust voltages at RR and RL as per
Step 15 and begin again.
(b) *lfVL is equal to or less than VC, the system has shutdown because the amplifier sees that
voltage inputs from position selector (VC) and the position sensor (VL) have been
satisfied.
21. If the system has completed a full stroke (up limit switch has been engaged) and the flap
position indicator reads correctly, no further adjustment is necessary. (It is considered acceptable if the indi-
cator pointer centerline is even with the upper or lower edge of the indicator graduation mark.) If position
and/ or indicator criteria are not satisfied, proceed as follows:
CAUTION
No adjustments are to be made at the wing rheostats (RL and RR)

until the flap motor circuit breaker is pulled.
(a) VL at the UP position should be equal to VC (within .1-volts, +0-.05-volts). From the
example in Step 20 preceding, it can be seen that VL is too high in relation to VC by
.36-volts.
(b) In order to correct this condition, it is necessary to adjust the value of VL both me-
chanically and electrically while in the DOWN position as follows:
(1) While in the DOWN position (VL should again read 8.95-volts), loosen the actuator
arm on RL and mechanically rotate the RL shaft until the VL reading is reduced by
twice the difference between VC and VL noted in example of Step 15 in preceding
Paragraph 5-93. (i.e. 8. 95 - (2x.36) =8.95 - .72 =8.23-volts.)
(2) With the VL voltage at 8.23-volts, tighten the actuator arm on the RL shaft and
return VL electrically to its original value of 8. 95-volts (.2-volts less than VC which
is 9.15-volts) by turning the trim pot RT2 in the amplifier counterclockwise.
22. Make the same adjustment toRR in the same sequence as done on RL, i.e., first mechanically
to twice the difference of the voltage error, then electrically (with RT3) back to the original value (of 8.95-
volts). However, VR may be adjusted to within .01-volts of VC in order to give a correct indicator presenta-
tion.

23. Reinstate flap motor circuit breaker and select flaps full UP. Record voltages as per Step 19
and repeat procedures if required. No more than two repeats should be necessary.
24. After the system is properly rigged for stroke and position indication, place the positive probe
of the digital voltmeter in "RR" at the amplifier and the negative lead in "RL". Select the flaps full DOWN
and monitor the voltage throughout the extension. Voltage is not to exceed .15-volts at any time.
NOTE
The system should be allowed .to warm-up for approximately five

minutes before making any electrical adjustments.
25. It is considered to be a proper flap position indication if the centerline of the indicator pointer
is within (or even with) the edges of the target instrument marking.
5-94. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL TEST PROCEDURE.
NOTE
The serviceman should refer to Figure 5-31 for the schematic diagram
of the flap amplifier and Sections 7 and 8 for complete electrical
system when accomplishing this test procedure. To gain access to the
system components refer to the appropriate Removal and Installa-
tion Instructions in this section of the manual.
a. Pull all Circuit Breakers to the OUT position.

b. Actuate the Flap Motor and Flap Control Circuit Breakers.
c. Turn ON Battery Master Switch or connect External Power to aircraft.
d. Operate the flap selector handle in the control box and observe UP and DOWN operation of wing
flaps.
e. If the wing flaps fail to operate, check fault light. If fault light is ON proceed to step m. If fault
light is OFF proceed to step f. .
f.· Check for 27.5 volts at motor contactor and Pin I of connector J I (Conn. £368, airframe harness)
to verify circuit breakers and wiring are not defective.
g. Check for 27.5 volts across power terminals of both K 1 and K2 relays.
h. Disconnect the flex shaft(s) from the motor assembly.
i. If the drive motor fails to operate, check the UP and DOWN limit switches in the 27.5 volt leg
of the coils of relays K 1 and K2. Do this by checking for 27.5 volts at the N.C. contacts on the limit switches.
j. To check the drive motor and relay operation, disconnect the electrical harness plug connector
E368 Ground relay K 1 at pin 6 or relay K2 at pin 4 of the connector, then fabricate a jumper lead to extend
from pin I (A+) of the connector to either wire lead F4E of relay K 1 or wire lead F4D of relay K2 to actuate
either the up or down relay and run the motor.
k. Check the 27.5 volt power at the drive motors while another person is energizing relays K 1 and
K2. If 27.5 volts is not present at the drive motor, the contacts of relays Kl andjor K2 are defective.
Replace defective relay(s). If the drive motor operates by energizing relays K 1 and/ or K2 locally, the
trouble is in the control box, the left wing potentiometer RL, the right wing potentiometer RR, or in the
flap control amplifier.
1. Reconnect the flex shaft(s) to the motor assembly and connect the electrical harness plug to
connector J 1.
m. Pull the Flap Motor circuit breaker to prevent the flap motor from running for the remainder of
the test procedure.
Revised: 1/5/84 SURFACE CONTrtOLS
lLl
n. Using a precision voltmeter (10 volt range) connect the negative lead to the GND test jack of the
amplifier and the positive lead to the RC test jack. Slowly operate the flap selector handle in the control
box over its entire range. The voltage readings should be approximately + 9 volts in the down position and
approximately + 4 volts in the up position.
o. If the RC voltage readings are too high or too low, the problem is either in the harness wiring or
the control box. Test the harness wiring, if defective repair or replace the harness wiring. If the harness wiring
is good replace the control box.
p. Connect the voltmeter between test jacks RR and RL on the amplifier. If this voltage exceeds
0.5-volts the shut down is due to flap asymmetry. Correct cause of asymmetry and rerig flap system.
q. If the problem is not located at this point, the amplifier is defective and must be replaced.
r. Turn Battery Master Switch OFF or remove External Power from the aircraft.
s. Connect flex shaft(s) to motor assembly. Flex shafts nuts must be lockwired to motor assembly.

APPENDIX
CONTROL CABLE INSPECTION
Aircraft control cable systems are subject to a variety of environmental conditions and forms of
deterioration that, with time, may be easy to recognize as wire/strand breakage or the not-so-readily visible
types of wear, corrosion, and/or distortion. The following data may help in detecting the presence of these con-
ditions:
CABLE DAMAGE
Critical areas for wire breakage are sections of the cable which pass through fairleads and around pulleys.
To inspect each section which passes over a pulley or through a fairlead, remove cable from aircraft to the
extent necessary to expose that particular section. Examine cables for broken wires by passing a cloth along
length of cable. This will clean the cable for a visual inspection, and detect broken wires, if the cloth snags on
cable. When snags are found, closely examine cable to determine full extent of damage.
The absence of snags is not positive evidence that broken wires do not exist. Figure lA shows a cable with
broken wires that were not detected by wiping, but were found during a visual inspection. The damage became
readily apparent (Figure lB) when the cable was removed and bent using the techniques depicted in Figure lC.

Figure 5-APP-1. Control Cable Inspection Technique
EXTERNAL WEAR PATTERNS

Wear will normally extend along cable equal to the distance cable moves at that location. Wear may occur
on one side of the cable only or on its entire circumference. Replace flexible and non-flexible cables when
individual wires in each strand appear to blend together (outer wires worn 40-50 percent) as depicted in
Figure 2.

Figure 5-APP-3. Internal Cable Wear
SURFACE CONTROLS 1L20 Added: 10/15/97

INTERNAL CABLE WEAR

As wear is taking place on the exterior surface of a cable, the same condition is taking place internally,
particularly in the sections of the cable which pass over pulleys and quadrants. This condition, shown in
Figure 3, is not easily detected unless the strands of the cable are separated. Wear of this type is a result of the
relative motion between inner wire surfaces. Under certain conditions the rate of this type wear can be greater
than that occurring on the surface.
CORROSION
Carefully examine any cable for corrosion that has a broken wire in a section not in contact with wear
producing airframe components such as pulleys, fairleads, etc. It may be necessary to remove and bend the
cable to properly inspect it for internal strand corrosion as this condition is usually not evident on the outer
surface of the cable. Replace cable segments if internal strand rust or corrosion is found.
Areas especially conducive to cable corrosion are battery compartments, lavatories, wheel wells, etc.,
where concentrations of corrosive fumes, vapors, and liquids can accumulate.
-Note-
Check all exposed sections of cable for corrosion after a cleaning and/or metal-
brightening operation has been accomplished in that area.
CABLE MAINTENANCE
Frequent inspections and preservation measures such as rust prevention treatments for bare cable areas will
help to extend cable service life. Where cables pass through fairleads, pressure seals, or over pulleys, remove
accumulated heavy coatings of corrosion prevention compound. Provide corrosion protection for these cable
sections, by lubricating with a light coat of graphite grease or general purpose, low-temperature oil.
-CAUTION-
AVOID USE OF VAPOR DEGREASING, STEAM CLEANING,
METHYLETHYLKETONE (MEK) OR OTHER SOLVENTS TO
REMOVE CORROSION-PREVENTATIVE COMPOUNDS, AS THESE
METHODS WILL ALSO REMOVE CABLE INTERNAL LUBRICANT.
CABLE FITTINGS
Check swaged terminal reference marks for an indication of cable slippage within fitting. Inspect fitting
assembly for distortion and/or broken strands at the terminal. Assure that all bearings and swivel fittings (bolted
or pinned) pivot freely to prevent binding and subsequent failure. Check turnbuckles for proper thread exposure
and broken or missing safety wires/clips.
PULLEYS
Inspect pulleys for roughness, sharp edges, and presence of foreign material embedded in the grooves.
Examine pulley bearings to assure proper lubrication, smooth rotation, freedom from flat spots, dirt, and paint
spray. Periodically rotate pulleys, which turn through a small arc, to provide a new bearing surface for the
cable. Maintain pulley alignment to prevent the cable from riding on flanges and chafing against guards,
covers, or adjacent structure. Check all pulley brackets and guards for damage, alignment, and security.

Various cable system malfunctions may be detected by analyzing pulley conditions. These include such
discrepancies as too much tension, misalignment, pulley bearing problems, and size mismatches between
cables and pulleys. Examples of these conditions are shown in Figure 4.

SECTION VI
HYDRAUUC SYSTEM
6-1. INTRODUCTION. The hydraulic system components covered in this section consist of Power Pack,
hand pump, actuating cylinders, hydraulic lines, filters and hydraulic pump. The brake system, although
hydraulically operated, is not included in this section. The brake system along with landing gear is covered
in Section VII.
This section also provides instructions for remedying difficulties which may arise in the operation of
the hydraulic system. The instructions are organized so that the mechanic can refer to: Principles of
Operation, for a basic understanding of the system; Troubleshooting, for a methodical approach in locating
the difficulty; Corrective Maintenance, for removal, repair and installation of components; and Adjustments
and Tests, for the operation of the repaired system.
CAUTION
Prior to starting any investigation of the hydraulic system, place

the airplane on jacks. (Refer to Jacking, Section II.)
6-2. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. The hydraulic power pack is located in the
fuselage nose section just aft of the nose baggage compartment, and is operated by a selector lever in the
shape of a wheel mounted to the right of the left control column. The power pack contains the system
reservoir and assorted valves which control the system operation. The power pack works in conjunction
with various electrical switches and solenoid valves to perform the desired sequence of operation as selected
by the control lever in the cockpit. Movement of the selector lever operates a control arm on the power
pack through the use of a flexible cable assembly and connecting arms. A solenoid operated lock is located
behind the instrument panel as part of the selector assembly to prevent the lever from being moved to the
up position while the airplane is on the ground. (Weight of the airplane on the landing gear.) This solenoid
is spring-loaded to the locked position and is activated by an anti-retraction (squat) switch mounted on the
left main gear, upper torque link. The anti-retractton switch will also sound a warning hom if the selector
lever is moved to the gear up position while the aircraft is on the ground and the master switch is ON. If the
selector handle can be moved to the up position while the airplane is on the ground, it is an indication of an
improperly adjusted selector· mechanism or the anti-retraction system is inoperative. The anti-retraction
switch is actuated by the last .250 of an inch of oleo extension. When the selector is moved to either the up
or down position, it is locked in place by the action of the handle release valve at the power pack, acting
against the release mechanism detent. The handle will remain in this position until it is manually releaseq or
until fluid pressure in the actuator and lock release reaches a preset pressure. At this time, the pressure
forces the plunger in the lock release down, allowing the lever to return to either the up or down neutral
position. (Depending on what the selector lever was set to.) An electrically operated door solenoid valve
located in the power pack will position itself in the door (main inboard gear doors) open position when the
selector lever is placed in the up or down position with the master switch on; this valve is spring-loaded in
the open position and requires electrical current to remain in the closed position. In the event of an
electrical failure, the valve will position itself in the open position and allow the doors to open when the
selector lever is actuated and hydraulic pressure routed through the system.
The engine driven hydraulic pumps draw fluid from the power pack reservoir and pump it through the
system filters mounted on the engine side of the fire wall, and check valves back to the pressure port of the
power pack. Within the power pack, fluid travels into the gear door solenoid valve and landing gear selector
pressure chamber. When the selector valve is in the neutral position, the fluid travels through the landing
gear selector valve back to the reservoir.
Revised: 2/15/82 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
2Al4
When the selector valve is moved either to the up or down position, it electrically actuates the door
solenoid valve to the open position, thus allowing fluid to flow through the door solenoid valve and into the
hydraulic cylinders thus opening the doors. During the time the doors open, the gear priority valve remains
closed as less pressure is required to operate the door cylinders. After the gear doors have opened, pressure
continues to build up enough to allow the priority valve to open and permit fluid to flow through the gear
selector valve to the gear actuating cylinders, thus allowing the gear to move to the selected up or down
position.
After the gear has moved to the full up or down position, limit switches are actuated which cause the
electrically operated door solenoid valve to move to the door closed position, allowing the door actuating
cylinders to close the gear doors. When the doors have fully closed, pressure builds up in the time delay
valve, operated by pressure in the closed door cylinders. The valve opens and allows fluid to flow to the
handle release valve, thus returning the selector lever to neutral. With the selector in neutral, fluid is allowed
to circulate back to the reservoir.
The main relief valve functions as a safety between the pump and selector valves. When the main relief
valve opens, fluid is directed back to the reservoir. The hand pump relief valve also serves as a secondary
relief valve. Valve operating pressures can be found in Table VI-I for Ozone Power Pack or Table VI-II for
Wiebe! Tool Power Pack.
The thermal relief vent valve functions as a safety to relieve pressure due to thermal expansion in the
gear door actuating cylinders.
The hand pump serves as an emergency pump, should the engine driven pumps fail. The system check
valves prevent the fluid from backing up through the engine driven pumps into the reservoir. In the event of
severe leakage of the hydraulic fluid, the standpipe in the reservoir prevents the fluid level from dropping
below the emergency quantity required for the operation of the system by means of the hand pump. The
engine driven pumps are supplied with fluid through the standpipe, so that when the fluid level goes below
the top of the standpipe, no fluid will flow. Thus, even though the system may develop a break, and the
engine driven pumps continue to operate, devouring the system of fluid, the standpipe insures enough fluid
in the reservoir for hand pump operation.
In case of an electrical failure, the door solenoid valve will move (spring pressure) to the door open
position and remain in that position. The doors will not open until the selector lever is moved to the gear
down position.
6-3. TROUBLESHOOTING. Malfunctions of the hydraulic system will result in failure of the landing gear
to operate properly. When trouble arises, jack up the airplane (refer to Jacking, Section II), and then
proceed to determine the extent of the trouble. Generally, hydraulic system troubles fall into two types;
troubles involving the hydraulic supplying system and troubles in the landing gear hydraulic system. The
extent of trouble can be found by operating the selector valve on the Power Pack. Table VI-IV, at the back
of this section, lists the troubles which may be encountered and their probable cause, and suggests a remedy
for the trouble involved. A hydraulic system operational check may be conducted beginning with Paragraph
6-5. When the trouble has been recognized, the first step in troubleshooting is isolating the cause. Hydraulic
system troubles are not always traceable to one cause. It is possible that a malfunction may be the result of
more than one difficulty within the system. Starting first with the most obvious and most probable reasons
for the trouble, check each possibility in turn and, by process of elimination, isolate the troubles.
NOTE
If it is found that the Power Pack is at fault and requires

disassembly, it is recommended that it be replaced on an exchange
basis or overhauled by a recommended overhaul shop. If, however,
this cannot be achieved, the Power Pack may be repaired in
accordance with the instructions in this manual.

6-4. FLUSHING HYDRAUliC SYSTEM. When contamination of the hydraulic system is suspected,
observe the color of hydraulic fluid in airplane's reservoir. If fluid appears discolored, or any other reason
exists to suspect fluid contamination, draw off a fluid sample by uncapping the reservoir drain at the
forward side of the Power Pack.
NOTE
Fluid sampling is necessary only when evidence exists to suspect

contamination.
If contamination exists, the complete system should be drained and flushed to remove contaminated fluid.
The cause and type of contamination should be determined and corrected. The following steps can be used
to remove contaminated fluid:
a. Remove the engine cowlings as explained in Section VIII or Section VIllA.
b. Drain the hydraulic fluid from the Power Pack reservoir.
c. Disconnect the hydraulic lines at the engine driven pumps.
d. Disconnect the hydraulic lines at the actuating cylinders and drain the fluid from all the
hydraulic lines.
e. Remove the fllter elements and flush out the filter bowls and install new filter elements. (Refer
to Paragraph 6-1 54.)
f. Flush the hydraulic system with clean hydraulic fluid (MIL·H·S606). Examine seals and cylinder
bores for damage.
g. When the hydraulic system is completely flushed and there is no more indication of
contamination, reconnect the previously disconnected fittings and replenish the system with clean
hydraulic fluid.
h. Bleed the hydraulic system and check for leaks. (Refer to Paragraph 6·99.)
i. Replace the engine cowlings as explained in Section VIII or Section VIllA.
6-5. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECKS.

6-44. POWER PACK BENCH TEST ADJUSTMENT. After completion of the overhaul, the Power Pack
may be bench tested prior to installation in the airplane using a hydraulic test unit or similar test
equipment. This procedure requires a minimum of test equipment for testing the Power Pack.
a. Use only clean hydraulic fluid (MIL-H-i606).
b. Minimum equipment needed is as follows:
1. Test unit pump or hand pump with a 3000 psi capacity.
2. One hydraulic pressure gauge of 3000 psi capacity.
3. One hydraulic pressure gauge of 150 psi capacity.
c. Connect the test pressure hose to the pressure inlet port of the Power Pack. The 3000 psi gauge is
to operate off of the pressure line.
d. Connect the suction hose to the suction port of the Power Pack.
e. If a vent hose is part of the test unit, connect it to the vent port at the top of the Power Pack.
f. Cap all other fittings with high pressure caps.
NOTE
For control of the door valve solenoid, it will be necessary to

fabricate an electric harness as shown in Figure 6-29. This harness,
when connected to a 24-volt battery, will allow control of the
electrical current to the door valve solenoid, permitting operation
of the door hydraulic circuits.
2816
6-45. ADJUSTMENT OF HANDLE-RELEASE MECHANISM. (Refer to Figure 6-1 0.) The following
procedure outlines preliminary adjustments to set the handle-release detent spring load and the
handle-return spring load adjusting plugs in approximately their correct positions before installing the
Power Pack in the airplane. After it has been installed, the system must be checked and final adjustments, if
needed, made at that time. Use a .078 inch punch to rotate the gear handle shaft.
a. Ascertain that the handle-return spring adjusting plugs (1 and 2) are not tightened, and the detent
spring adjusting plug (3) has been screwed in until approximately .312 inch of thread is engaged. The
spring, however, must not bottom out.
b. Place the handle in the up-detent position; then hold it beyond this position (in overtravel).
c. Tighten the forward handle-return spring adjusting plug (2) until the handle just starts to move
out of overtravel; then loosen the adjusting plug one turn.
d. Place the handle in the down-detent position; then hold it beyond this position (in overtravel).
e. Tighten the aft handle-return spring adjusting plug (1) until the handle just starts to move out of
overtravel; then loosen the adjusting plug one turn.
f. Place the handle in the up-detent position and tighten the handle-release detent spring adjusting
plug (3) until the spring bottoms out; then back the adjusting plug out two turns.
g. The handle must hold in both detent positions, but must return with a positive snap when
manually released from either detent position. Connect a spring scale to the arm and pull fore 1q1d aft,
perpendicular to the centerline of the arm, to determine that it will leave the detent at a force of 9 + 1-2
pounds. The handle-release detent spring adjusting plug (3) may be readjusted slightly more or less than the
two turns specified in the preceding step, if necessary. When proper detent adjustment has been obtained,
tighten the nuts and safety.
6-46. ADJUSTMENT OF HAND PUMP RELIEF VALVE.

a. With the landing gear handle in either the up or down position, apply test unit pressure very
slowly until fluid flows from the hand pump relief valve.
CAUTION
It is very important that the test unit be operated very slowly as

pressure is being increased to bleed the hand pump relief valve. If
the test pump is operated rapidly, damage to the valve can occur
as air permits parts to "slam" against each other.
b. Bleed air from the Power Pack by cracking the cap on the door-open fitting.
c. Adjust the retainer plug at the top of the valve until the valve cracks at the pressure stated in
Table VI-I (using a slow flow). Bleed pressure by cracking the cap on the door-open fitting after each
adjustment.
d. Safety wire the hand pump relief valve to the time-delay valve.
6-4 7. ADJUSTMENT OF MAIN RELIEF VALVE.

a. Loosen the locknut and back out the adjusting screw at tl1e top of the valve until very little load
is left on the spring.
b. With the landing gear handle in the down position, apply pressure until fluid flows from the main
relief valve.
c. Adjust the main relief valve until the valve cracks at the pressure stated in Table VI-I. Bleed
pressure after each adjustment by cracking the cap on the door-open fitting. Tighten the locknut on the
adjusting screw after obtaining the correct adjustment.

6-48. ADJUSTMENT OF PRIORITY VALVE.

a. Place the landing gear handle in the up position and remove the cap from the gear up fitting.
b. Apply pressure and note the priority valve cracking pressure by observing the pressure gauge
when fluid first starts to flow from the gear-up port.
c. Adjust the priority valve to crack at the pressure stated in Table VI-I. Bleed pressure after each
adjustment by cracking the cap on the door-open fitting.
d. Disconnect the test unit and cap all open fittings.
6-49. ADJUSTMENT OF DOOR SOLENOID VALVE.

a. Remove the caps from the door-open and door-close fittings on Power Pack.
b. Connect a test harness to the electrical plug of the Power Pack and power source. (A test harness
may be fabricated as shown in Figure 6-29.)
c. With the test harness switch in the OFF position, and the landing gear handle in either the up or
down neutral position, apply pressure and note that fluid flows from the door-open fitting.
d. With the test harness switch in either the gear up or down position, the landing gear handle in
either the up or down neutral position, apply pressure and note that fluid flows from the door-close fitting.
e. Disconnect the test equipment and cap all open fittings.
6-50. TESTING DOOR VENT VALVE.

a. Remove the cap from the door-open fitting on the Power Pack, and attach the pressure hose from
the hand pump with the 1SO psi pressure gauge to the door-open fitting.
b. Slowly apply 50 psi pressure and check to see that fluid seeps from the door vent valve.
c. Increase the pressure to 150 psi minimum and check to see that the door vent valve shuts off
fluid flow. (Slow decrease in pressure from the valve leakage is normal.)
d. Relieve pressure by cracking the hose fitting from the hand pump.
e. Disconnect the test unit and cap all open fittings.
6-S 1. ASSEMBLY OF POWER PACK. (Refer to Figure 6-5.) To complete the reassembly of the Power
Pack; proceed as follows:
a. Install the reservoir cover attaching center stud (21 ). Install with the longer threaded end down,

c. Cap the reservoir vent fitting.

d. Operate the test hand pump very slowly until the pressure gauge indicates 15 psi maximum.
e. Check for leaks. There should be no external leakage. . .
f. Crack the vent fitting to release pressure, remove the test equipment, dram the reservOir and cap
the fittings.
g. The hydraulic Power Pack is now ready to be installed in the airplane.
6-53. HYDRAULIC POWER PACK (WIEBEL TOOL).
6-54. REMOVAL OF POWER PACK. (See Paragraph 6-20.)
6-55. DISASSEMBLY OF POWER PACK. (Refer to Figure 6-12.) After the Power Pack has been
removed from the airplane and all ports are capped or plugged, spray with cleaning solvent (Federal
Specifications P-S-661, or equivalent) to remove all accumulated dust or dirt. Dry with filtered compressed
air. To disassemble the unit, proceed as follows:
a. Remove wire (37), nut (35), reservoir cover (36) and "0" ring (47). Cover is a snug fit on
reservoir. Use a soft mallet and tap cover lightly to remove.
b. Remove deflector plate (107) and snap ring (44) from center stud (41) and remove baffle plate (45)
from reservoir. Drain remaining hydraulic fluid from reservoir.
c. Remove the reservoir (46) and "0" ring (104). Reservoir is a snug fit in body (67) and requires a
hard pull to disengage from body.
d. Remove center stud (41) and "0" ring (40).
NOTE
All electrical wires are color coded. Disregard color of wire

terminals. If colored wires are matched when wires are re-installed,
the wires will be connected correctly.
e. Remove screws (46), washers (45), switch assembly (44) and insulating plate (43). Switch will
remain hanging from the electrical wires. (Refer to Figure 6-13.)
f. Remove plastic strap (48) attaching the electrical wires to the door solenoid valve (11) and
remove the safety wire (47) from the door solenoid valve. (Refer to Figure 6-13.)
g. Disconnect electrical wires .of switch and door solenoid froin terminal block (80).
h. Remove four bolts (42) attaching the manifold assembly. Work the manifold assembly from the
Power Pack, taking care to prevent the loss of the transfer sleeves (36) between the manifold and the Power
Pack. (Refer to Figure 6-13.)
i. Remove the five transfer sleeves (36) from the manifold (35). (Refer to Figure 6-13.)
NOTE
As the manifold is separated from the Power Pack body, the teeth
on the landing gear selector spool become disengaged from the
gear. This will permit the selector spool to move. DO NOT remove
the selector spool from its position. Never move it to a position
that is more than flush (±.06 inch) with the manifold body at the
end opposite the selector spool teeth. If moved beyond this
position, an "0" ring will become caught and the selector spool
will then be difficult to remove.

c. Under strong light and preferrably under magnification, inspect all parts for scoring, nicks,
scratches, pitting, corrosion, cracks and excessive wear. Inspect all threaded surfaces for chipping and
crossed or stripped threads. Inspect parts for conformance to information given in Table VI-III. The table
gives the items which should be inspected and the corrective action necessary when the pump parts do not
pass this inspection.
NOTE
Although the pump may still operate under conditions where

some of the parts exceed the wear limits, it will probably be found
that the pump is not producing its rated capacity and therefore,
the system may not be doing an adequate job. Therefore, it is
necessary to repair or replace any parts that are not within the
stated limits.
6-16J. ASSEMBLY OF HYDRAULIC PUMP. (Refer to Figure 6-28.) The seal and seal rings should be
soaked in the hydraulic (MIL-H-5606) fluid for two hours minimum time before installation.
a. Replace drive shaft seal (4 or 5) into drive side seal bore. Be sure to install drive shaft seal, "back
to back," as noted during disassembly.
b. Replace retainer ring (3) into drive side seal bore.
c. Install new "0" ring seal (9) on drive side.
d. Mate centerplate assembly (1 0) with drive side assembly (7) and align dowel pins.
e. Install drive shaft (I) from engine side of drive side assembly.
f. Install secondary shaft (17) into centerplate. Install drive and secondary gears (19 and 18) onto
drive and secondary shafts ( 1 and 17). Be sure the drive pin counter bore on the drive gear faces the pump
rear side. Install drive pins.
g. Install the four studs (14) and new "0" ring seal (15) on the rear side assembly (13).
h. Lightly oil gear teeth with hydraulic fluid before completing assembly.
i. Mate the rear side assembly (13) with the centerplate (1 0), using caution to align the drive and
secondary shafts with the respective holes in the rear side assembly.
j. Replace the four locknuts (8) on the studs (14) extending out of the drive side flange that mates
with the centerplate.
2 013
k. Replace the four socket head cap screws (12) that secure the rear side, centerplate and drive side
assemblies together. Torque the socket head cap screws and locknut to 60 inch-pounds.
I. When the pump is assembled, turn drive shaft by hand to make sure the pump turns freely. If
there is any sticking or binding at all, disassemble pump and determine the trouble. Do not apply power to
the pump until it turns freely by hand.
NOTE
If possible run pump at rated speed while gradually increasing the

pressure up to rated pressure by the end of a thirty minute period.
6-164. INSTALLATION OF HYDRAULIC PUMP.

a. Place a new gasket on the base of the housing.
b. Lubricate the pump shaft splines with Molybdenum Disulfide, 'JYpe "G," paste form lubricant.
c. Install the pump on the housing.
NOTE
When installing the pump, keep the drain fitting facing to the
lower right in the downward position.
d. Line up the shaft splines with the gear inside the engine housing.
e. Install flat washers, lock washers, and nuts on the base of the pump and tighten.
f. Install the two hydraulic hoses and prime the pump before completing the hookup to the firewall
fittings in accordance with Paragraph 6-165.
g. Check to be sure that the system reservoir contains the required amount of clean hydraulic fluid.
h. Change system fluid filters, in accordance with Paragraph 6-156.
6-165. PRIMING HYDRAUUC PUMP. The following instructions for priming the hydraulic pump assures
that the pump will not be operated in a dry condition and shall be followed whenever a pump is serviced or
replaced.
a. Remove the hydraulic suction and pressure lines from the firewall fittings.
b. Install caps on suction and pressure fitting at the firewall to prevent the loss of fluid prior to the
hookup of the hydraulic.lines.
c. Holding both lines at a level higher than the pump, pour hydraulic fluid, MIL-H-5606, into the
lines.
d. Remove one cap at a time from the firewall fittings and connect the appropriate line to the
fitting, trying not to spill any of the hydraulic fluid previously put into the lines.
e. After the engine has been operated, check the hookup for leaks.
6-166. HYDRAUUC SYSTEM FAILURE. The emergency use of the hand pump to extend the gears
indicates the engine driven pumps were operating without sufficient fluid. This condition causes additional
wear on the engine driven pumps. Therefore, the fJ.lter elements must be removed and check even if pump
failure is not apparent and/or the primary cause of the problem.
a. Remove the filter elements and check for metal particles.
b. If no metal particles are evident proceed with the following:
1. Replace fl.lter element per Paragraph 6-156.
2. Replenish fluid as noted in Section II.
c. If metal particles are evident in either fJ.lter proceed with the following:
2D14
1. Inspect, replace or repair both hydraulic pumps. (Refer to Paragraphs 6-160 to 6-164.)
2. Prime pumps in accordance with Paragraph 6-165. Do not connect the pumps to the rest of
the hydraulic system until the system has been flushed.
3. Proceed to flush the system in accordance with Paragraph 6-4.
6-167. HIGH ALTITUDE GEAR OPERA11 ON. Should it be necessary to operate the landing gear at
altitudes above 15,000 feet, the landing gear selector may return to its neutral position before the gear door
closing cycle is complete. If this occurs, manual override of the time delay cycle must be used to close the
gear doors. ··
During gear extension, if the selector returns to neutral at the same time the gears are locked down,
and before the gear doors have had time to close, again select the gear down position and hold the handle
down for an additional 3 to 4 seconds. This allows completion of the door closing cycle.
During gear retraction, if the selector returns to neutral and the gear unsafe light remains lit, again
select the gear up position and hold the handle up for 4 seconds after the gear unsafe light extinguishes. Be
sure that the light has extinguished before exceeding the maximum gear extended speed.

SECTION VII
7-1. INTRODUCTION. This section provides instructions for remedying difficulties which may arise in the
operation of the landing gear and brake systems. The instructions are organized so that the mechanic can refer
to Description and Principle of Operation for a basic understanding of the systems: Troubleshooting for a
methodical approach in locating the difficulty; Corrective Maintenance for the removal. repair and installa-
tion of components: and Adjustment and Test for the operation of the repaired systems.
7-2. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. The tricycle landing gear system incorporates
air-oil oleo type struts that are hydraulically operated and fully retractable with the nose gear retracting aft
into the nose section and the main gear retracting inboard into the wing. Doors completely cover the gear when
retracted. The nose and outboard main gear doors operate by mechanical linkage and remain open when the
gear is extended. The main gear inboard doors operate hydraulically, are controlled by the limit switches
opening during gear extension and closing again when the gear has fully extended. To prevent the gear from
retracting while the airplane is on the ground. an anti-retraction safety switch located on the left gear upper
torque link will not allow the gear actuator lever to move to the gear up position until weight is off the landing
gear allowing the strut to extend to within three quarters of an inch of full extension.
The nose gear is steerab le through a 28 degree arc by the use of the rudder pedals and an 80 degree arc by
the use of differential engine power and brakes. As the gear retracts. the steering linkage is separated and the
gear is centered, so that the rudder pedal action with the gear retracted is not impeded by the nose gear
operation.
Located on the instrument panel, to the right of the gear selector control, are one red and three green ind i-
cator lights. The red light will indicate when the gear is not locked in either the up or down position. and also
show when the gear doors are open in flight, but not opened on the ground. The green lights will show when
each individual gear is down and locked. There is no indication light when the gear is up and locked. The red
light will also show when the inboard gear doors are not completely closed. A warning hom in the cockpit will
sound whenever power from one or both engines is reduced below !50 foot-pounds of engine torque when the
gear is not in the down locked position. This horn will also sound whenever the landing gear selector handle is
in the gear up position while the airplane is on the ground and the master switch is on. If the gear selector
handle can be moved to the up position with the airplane on the ground. it is an indication of an improperly
adjusted selector mechanism or defective anti-retraction safety switch or selector mechanism. The emergency
extension button is also mounted on the pilot's side of the instrument panel just below the oxygen pressure
gauge and to the right of the alternate static source selector.
Two means of emergency extension are available. The emergency blowdown system and the hand pump
located in the cockpit between the pilot seats. under the floor access panel. The emergency blowdown system
is activated by pulling the control ring located between the pilot seats. The remaining gear(s) is (are) extended
and locked in place. Besides the emergency blowdown system the gear can also be pumped down. A hand
pump under a floor access panel between the pilot seats can be used to extend the gear should the hydraulic
pump system fail.
NOTE
If a problem does develop however. and time permits, it is suggested

that the hand pump be tried first, because once the emergency
extension system is activated, the affected mechanism and hydraulic
system must be purged and serviced.
Revised: 4/25/83 LANDING GEAR AND BRAKE SYSTEM

2D22
The brakes are hydraulically actuated by individual master cylinders mounted on the left (optional on
right) set of rudder pedals. A reservoir. accessible through the access door on the upper right portion of the
nose section. supplies fluid to each master cylinder. From these cylinders, hydraulic fluid is routed through
lines and hoses to a parking brake valve located on the left aft side of the forward cabin bulkhead. through the
cabin and wings, to the brake assemblies on each main landing gear. To operate the brakes, apply toe pressure
against the top of the rudder pedal. The parking brake may be actuated by applying toe pressure and at the
same time pulling out on the brake handle. To relieve parking brake pressure. apply toe pressure on the pedals
and at the same time push in on the parking brake handle.
Servicing of the hydraulic and brake system is found in Section II.
7-3. TROUBLESHOOTING. Mechanical and electrical switch troubles peculiar to the landing gear system
are listed in Table YII-V at the back of this section. When troubleshooting. first eliminate hydraulic mal-
functions as listed in Section VI. Then proceed to switch malfunctions and last to the mechanical operation
of the gear itself. both of which are listed in this section. Always place the airplane on jacks before attempting
any troubleshooting of the gear.
7-4. LANDING GEAR SYSTEM.
7-5. NOSE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM.
7-6. DISASSEMBLY OF NOSE GEAR OLEO. (Refer to Figure 7-1.) The nose gear oleo assembly may be
removed and disassembled from the gear oleo housing with the gear removed from or installed on the airplane.
b. Place a drip pan under the nose gear to catch spillage.
c. Remove air and fluid from the oleo. (Refer to Oleo Struts. Section II.)
d. To remove the complete cylinder and fork assembly from the oleo housing (35). cut the safety wire
(44) and remove the cap bolts (37) that attach the steering arm (42) and aligner guide bracket (40) to the top of
the ol~o cylinder ( 12).
e. Disconnect the shimmy dampener (27) by removing the bolt assembly (28) that connects the
dampener to the cylinder.
f. Release and remove the retainer ring ( 10) at the top of the housing (35) and pull the complete
cylinder assembly from the bottom of the housing. The upper and lower housing bushings (II and 13) should
remain pressed in the housing.
g. To remove the piston tube (26) assembly from the cylinder ( 12), separate upper and lower torq u~
links (25 and 22) by removing the connecting bolt (24) with washer, nut and cotter pin. Note the spacer washer
(23) between the two links.
h. Compress the piston tube (26), and reach up along the tube and release the retainer ring (9) from the
annula:r slot at the bottom of the oleo housing.
1. Pull the piston tube (26) with component parts from the cylinder.
NOTE
Prior to disassembling the upper bearing (2) with retaining pins (I)
from the piston tube (26) place a reference mark with a grease
pencil from the upper bearing to the piston tube. This will insure
proper indexing of parts upon reassembly.
j. The piston tube components may be removed by reaching in the tube and pushing out the upper
bearing (2) and retaining pins(\). Slide off the tube. the upper bearing (2). spacer (3), lower bearing (5) with
outer and inner 0-rings (4 and 6), wiper strip (7), washer (8) and retainer ring (9).

2D23
k. To remove the orifice tube ( 15), remove the large bolt (38) of the orifice tube from the top of the
cylinder. Pull the tube from the cylinder ( 12).
I. The orifice plate ( 16) is removed from the bottom of the orifice tube by releasing the retainer ring
( 17) that holds the plate in position.
NOTE
Do not remove the piston tube plug (48), 0-ring (47), from the
piston tube (26), or the piston tube from the fork ( 19).
7-7. CLEANING, INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF NOSE GEAR OLEO.

degrees.
f. Set a square against the straightedge and spacer block, and check to see if its outstanding leg bears
against the spacer block.
NOTE
A carpenter's square, because of its especially long legs is recommended for
checking the main landing gear wheel alignment.
g. If a gap appears at the rear, between the block and square, the wheel is toed-out and must be realigned.
If a gap appears at the forward end between the block and the square, the wheel has too much toe-in
and must be realigned to get .5 degree toe-in.
h. To correct toe-in or toe-out conditions, remove the bolt connecting the upper and lower torque links
and remove or add spacer washers to move the wheel in the desired direction and reinstall the bolt.
i. Recheck wheel alignment. If the alignment is correct, safety the castellated nut with a new cotter pin.

7-48. ADJUSTMENT OF GEAR WARNING SWITCHES. The gear warning hom switches are installed in
the control pedestal, with each controlled by a power lever. Each switch activates the warning horn when
either or both power levers are reduced below 1SO foot-pound of engine torque. The following is a
procedure for the adjustment of the gear warning switches:
a. Ground Adjustment:
1. Start and run the engines with the propeller set for full increase RPM.
2. To set the power lever switches to actuate at a desired power lever setting, retard the power
levers until the engine torque gauges read 1SO foot-pound of torque. Mark the power lever cover in some
manner in relation to the power levers for adjustment of the switches.
3. Shut down the engines.
4. Set the power lever at the locations marked. With the adjustment screw on the switch
bracket, adjust each switch separately toward the actuator angle until the switch is heard to actuate. The
adjustment screw may be reached by inserting a long screwdriver through the travel slot of the power lever
in the pedestal cover.
b. Hom Operat10nal Check:
1. To check the hom operation, jack the airplane and retract the landing gear. With the master
switch on, retard either power lever until the gear up indicator hom sounds. Check the location of the
powet lever to the adjusting r:nark. The warning horn will operate when either or both power levers are
retarded.
2. With the warning hom operating, lower the gear to insure that the horn ceases to operate
when the gear is down and locked.
3. Remove the airplane from the jacks.
c. Flight Adjustment:
1. Flight test the airplane to insure operation of the warning system when the gear is up and
power is reduced to the desired engine torque.

b. Pressure plate (8) and back plate (5) can be repaired in accordance with the following steps:
1. To remove the wear pads from either plate, drill out the shop heads of old rivets using a
0.218 inch drill and punching out the old rivets.
CAUTION
Exercise care to avoid damaging or enlarging the rivet holes.
2. Before repadding either plate, inspect it for cracks using zyglo or dye-penetrant method.
Replace plates which are cracked or dished 0.015 inch or more.
3. Install new wear pads using the proper rivets and rivet tools shown in Figure 7-20, which
can be fabricated from dimensions given by a local shop. Ascertain that the formed (shop) head of the rivet
is flush with or below the surface of the wear pad.
NOTE
After pad installation, check rivets for snugness. A slight

movement of wear pads is desirable. It should be determined that
a force of not less than 2 pounds or more than 100 pounds is
required to cause movement of pad.
A maximum of one crack is permitted in the shop head of a

tubular rivet, but it must not extend into the rivet shank. To
check rivets that appear unseated, insert a 0.0 15 inch feeler gauge
between the disc and the pad. It should not slide past the rivet.

7-73. WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLY (CLEVELAND, 30-106). Paragraphs 7-72 thru 7-77 pertain to
Cleveland brake system.
7-74. BRAKE ADJUSTMENT AND LINING TOLERANCES (CLEVELAND,30-106). No adjustment of

the brake clearance is necessary as they are self-adjusting. Inspection of the lining is necessary, and it may be
inspected visually while installed on the airplane. The linings are of the bonded type and need not be replaced
until the thickness of any one segment becomes worn to .100 of an inch or unevenly worn.
7-75. REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY OF WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLY (CLEVELAND,J0-106).

(Refer to Figure 7-25 and 7-26.)
a. To remove the brake assembly, fi.rst disconnect the brake line from the brake cylinder housing
( 15). Cap brake line to prevent contamination.
b. Remove the bolts ( 1) that secure the backing plates ( 10) and shim (9) to the brake cylinder
housing (15).
c. Slide the brake cylinder housing from the torque plate.
d. Remove the pressure plate (6) by sliding off the anchor bolts of the housing.
e. The pistons (4) may be removed by injecting low air pressure in the cylinder fluid inlet and
forcing the pistons from the housing.
f. If necessary, the anchor bolts (16) may be removed by using a holding fixture and arbor press. If
possible, place the anchor bolts into the holding fixture so that the anchor bolt is piloted while being
removed. (Refer to Figure 7-25, Step A.)
CAUTION
Cylinder must be square with arbor in Steps A and B so that the

anchor bolts do not cock.
g. Lining replacement can be accomplished by prying the old segments off of the carrier with a
screwdriver. To install new pads, apply a light film of glue to the backing material of the pad, and snap the
new pad onto the carrier pins. The glue will retain the pads in the correct position when reassembling the
brake.
NOTE
If linings are changed, but the pistons are not removed from the
cylinder, clean the exposed surfaces of the pistons before
displacing the pistons back into the cylinder.
h. Refer to Paragraph 7-76 for cleaning, inspection and repair of wheel brake assembly.

a. Oean all metal parts in alcohol or suitable solvent.
b. Clean "0" Rings in denatured alcohol and dry thoroughly.
c. Inspect "0" Rings for cuts, nicks, distortion or excessive wear. If necessary, replace with "0"
Rings of corresponding part numbers.
d. Inspect pressure plate and bac~ plates for cracks or warpage. Replace if cracked or s~yerly
deformed. Inspect pins for looseness. If loose, tighten with rivet set and anvil, P/N 199-1A and 199-1B or
replace backplate and pressure plate assembly.
e. Inspect anchor bolt holes in torque plate for internal corrosion or contamination. If present,
clean with emery or apply a light coat of dry lube.
NOTE
For best service life, the cylinders must slide freely in the torque plate.
f. Check the anchor bolt hole and mounting bolt hole areas for elongation or cracks. Badly
elongated or cracked parts should be replaced with new parts of corresponding part number. Minor
corrosion on the torque plates may be removed with 600 grit emery.
g. Inspect bolts for cracks, thread damage or corrosion and replace if necessary.
h. Inspect brake cylinder(s) for cracks, especially in the lug area around the anchor bolts. Cracks in
this area, necessitate cylinder replacement.
i. Small nicks and light corrosion may be blended and removed with emery or sand paper. Any area
from which the protective coating is removed, should be thoroughly cleaned, and repainted with one coat
of zinc chromate primer, and one coat of aluminum lacquer.
j. Inspect the fitting ports and piston bores for contamination. Light scratches or nicks in the
piston bores, pilot bores, or on the chamferred surfaces within these bores may be polished out with 600
grit emery.

2H6
NOTE
Nicks and burrs in the pilot bore area can prevent the pistons from properly
retracting, resulting in brake drag.
k. Thoroughly clean out any residue upon completion of step j. Any external surfaces around the piston
bores from which the protective coating has been removed, should be cleaned, and painted with one
coat of zinc chromate primer and one coat of aluminum lacquer.
NOTE
Do not paint internal surfaces of piston bores.
1. Inspect piston for nicks or burrs. remove nicks or burrs by polishing with 600 grit emery. Thoroughly
.clean before reinstallation.
m. Inspect brake lining for edge chipping and surface deterioration. Refer to Figure 7-26 for maximum
wear limits for brake linings and discs. Disc warpage should not exceed .015 inch.
n. Inspect both wearing surfaces of the brake disc for heat checks. Replace brake disc if crack length
exceeds 1 inch, or crack depth exceeds .395 of an inch. If crack depth is not measurable, replace disc if
crack length exceeds .500 of an inch.
7-77. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLY (CLEVELAND 30-106).
(Refer to Figure 7-25 or 7-26.)
a. If removed, press anchor-bolts (Refer to Figure 7-25) into brake and install washers and nuts. Torque
nuts to specification (Refer to Figure 7-26).
b. Install inlet and bleeder fittings.
c. For piston installation, lubricate the piston, "0" ring, and piston bore with a small amount of MIL-H-
5606 hydraulic fluid. Place piston in bore and rotate to seat drag ring and insure that piston and seal
are in proper alignment. Tap the piston with a wooden or plastic mallet while alternately rotating. If
considerable effort is required, remove piston and inspect bore and pilot bore area for damage. If the
bore is damaged, check the corresponding area of the piston for damage. Repair, if necessary, and
repeat the above procedure.
d. Install pressure plate assembly by aligning anchor bolt holes with anchor bolts and slide onto cylinder.
The pressure plate must float freely on the anchor bolts.
e. Install brake assembly to torque plate by aligning anchor bolts with torque plate holes and sliding
brake assembly on to torque plate (It must slide freely.)
f. Install washers, cylinder tie bolts, and insulator shim. Install back plate assemblies between brake disc
and wheel flange, and align with tie bolts.
g. Re-connect hydraulic lines and bleed system. Check pedal for proper feel and travel.
NOTE
Replacement brake linings should be conditioned by performing two
consecutive full braking applications from 30 to 35 kts. Do not allow the
brake discs to cool substantially between stops. This conditioning procedure
will wear off high spots and generate sufficient heat to glaze the linings.
Once the linings are glazed, the braking system will provide many hours of
maintenance free service.
Visual inspection of the brake disc will indicate the lining condition. A
smooth surface, without grooves, indicates the linings are properly glazed.
If the disc is rough (grooved), the linings must be reglazed. The
conditioning procedure should be performed whenever the rough disc
condition is evident.

b. Lubricate 0-rings with fluid (MIL-H-5606), insert cam (13) into valve body (1) and secure with
spring (9), bushing (8), washer (7) and self-locking nut (6).
c. Install 0-ring (5) on valve (4), insert the valve in the hole of the out port, install the valve spring
(3) and secure with outlet fitting (2).
7-95. INSTALLATION OF PARKING BRAKE VALVE.

a. Attach the valve to the bulkhead mounting bracket with screws.
b. Connect the fluid lines to the valve.
c. Connect the control cable to the valve lever and determine that when valve lever fits in the closed
detent, the parking brake handle is .062 to .125 inch of being full in against stop.
d. Bleed the brake system. (Refer to Paragraph ·7-96.)
7-96. BLEEDING PROCEDURE. If the brake line has been disconnected for any reason, it will be
necessary to bleed the brake system as described below:
a. Place a suitable container at the reservoir drain to collect fluid overflow.
b. Remove the rubber bleeder fitting cap located on the bottom of the brake unit housing on the
landing gear.
c. Slide a hose over the bleeder fitting, loosen the fitting one turn and pressure fill the brake system
with MIL-H-5606 fluid.
NOTE
By watching the fluid flowing into the reservoir, it can be

determined whether any air has entered the system. If air bubbles
are evident, fllling of the system shall be continued until all of the
air is out of the system and a steady flow of fluid is obtained.
d. Tighten the bleeder fitting and remove the hose. Check brakes for proper pedal pressure.
e. Repeat this procedure on the other gear.
f. Drain excess fluid from the reservoir to fluid level line with a syringe.

SECTION VIII
POWER PLANT
PA-31T AND PA-31Tl
8-l. INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this section is to provide service instructions for the power plant
installation and its related components. The maintenance concept of this section is supplemental to Pratt and
Whitney's Engine Maintenance Manual (refer to Table VIII-II for appropriate manual) and consists of
removal, installation, and adjustments of external components and engine accessories. Repairs beyond this
level should be accomplished by an approved Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. overhaul facility.
The instructions are organized so the mechanic can refer to: Description, for a basic understanding of the
power plant and its various components: Troubleshooting, for a methodical approach in locating the
difficulty; and Removal, Installation, and Adjustment instructions to aid the mechanic when servicing the
aircraft power plants.
In the interest of maintaining the efficient engine performance, an Engine Condition Trend Monitoring
System has been set up by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. 1 his is not a mandatory procedure, but
is highly recommended by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. and Piper Aircraft Corporation. The
use of this procedure will establish a means by which the engine condition can be observed without actual
teardown of components, until conditions warrant it. Copies of the procedure can be obtained from Pratt and
Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd.; Refer to the latest revision of Aircraft Gas Turbine Operation Information
Letter# 18.
8-2. DESCRIPTlON. The Piper Cheyenne is powered by two lightweight, free turbine Pratt and Whitney
PT 6A turboprop engines, for leading_particulars refer to Section II.
The engines are completely enclosed by cowlings consisting of an upper and fower section of cantilever·
construction attached at the firewall. A hinged door on the upper cowls allows access to the oil filler neck and
quantity dipstick. The air inlet ice deflector door is an integral part of the lower cowl assembly.
A compressor wash ring is offered as optional equipment. When installed, routine compressor washes
may be performed, without the removal of the cowling, through an access door located on the outboard side of
the nacelle.
The propeller installations are constant speed, full feathering, reversing type, controlled by engine oil
pressure through single-acting propeller governors. Centrifugal counterweights assisted by a feathering
spring move the blades toward the low rpm (high pitch) position and into the feather position. This
movement is opposed by oil pressure controlled by the propeller governor. Oil pressure moves the propeller
to the high rpm (low pitch) hydraulic stop and reverse position. The propellers have no high pitch stop; this
allows the propeller to feather after engine shutdown.
The engine lubricating system is a pressure type with the main oil pump located in the oil tank. The oil
tank is an integral part of the compressor inlet case. _
The fuel control system consists of a single engine driven pump, a fuel control unit, with furil shutoff,
and a dual fuel manifold with seven nozzles per manifold. An automatic fuel dump valve and two
combustion chamber drain valves are provided to insure drainage of residual fuel after engine shutdown. A
scavenger pump system collects residual fuel after engine shutdown and injects the fuel back into the
aircraft fuel tank during engine start.
The ignition system consists of one exciter box, two 'ignition leads, and two spark igniters for each
engine which require about 8000-volts to spark. Ignition is by both igniters simultaneously; there is no
provision for single igniter operation.
The engine is also equipped with a 28-volt, 200 amp starter-generator, hydraulic pump, power section
tachometer generator, gas generator tachometer generator, and an air bleed system which provides high
pressure air for cabin pressurization. The complete engine assembly is supported on a tubular steel mount
attached at the fire wall.

A.) Place bolt through lower end of arm and lock in place.
NOTE
As you tighten the lock bolt, keep checking the arm to assure that
it has not moved and do not put too much force on the bolt as
you may push or pull the vise grip pliers loose and you will have to
start all over again with track point set-up.
It is very important that the input arm be securely locked on the

shaft to prevent it from rotating on the shaft during engine
operation.
8-45. RIGGING THE FUEL CONTROL UNIT TO THE FUEL CONTROL ACTUATING LEVER.

counterclockwise and then slowly clockwise until the fuel governor cam pick-up point is felt. This point
must be 22.5 degrees :t 0.6 degrees indicated on the template. (Refer to Figure 8-8.)
NOTE
Initial movement of the fuel control unit input arm from the fully
counterclockwise position is free from resistance until a pick-up
point is recognized when a slight resistance is felt.
c. If the fuel control unit input arm (7) must be adjusted, unsafety the fuel control unit input arm
extension (8) and loosen the arm. Rotate the serrated washer (6) on the fuel control unit and fuel control
arm to obtain the proper rigging.
NOTE
The inner serrated increments are 15 degrees and the outer

serrated increments are 14.4 degrees giving an adjustment in
increments of 0.6 degrees.
d. Adjust the length of the fuel control unit interconnect rod (9) so that when the fuel control unit
input arm (7) is at the 22.5 degree position the rod end bearing of the fuel control unit interconnect rod (9)
just aligns with the top hole of the fuel control uriit actuating lever ( 16). Then lengthen the control rod (9)
by unscrewing one rod end bearing 1.5 turns. Install the fuel control unit control rod and lock jam nuts and
safety.
e. Set the reverse dead band to approximately 5/16 of an inch. (Refer to Sketch B, Figure 8-8.)

f. Restart the engine.
g. Check the secondary low pitch stop operation as follows:
1. Move the power levers toward reverse until the low pitch "Beta" lights come on.
2. Push down and hold the lock pitch test switches while continuing to move the power levers
toward reverse. The prop should not go into reverse, and the lights should blink.
3. Continue to move the power levers toward reverse until mechanical resistance is felt.
CAUTION
Do not force the power levers to full reverse, this could cause
damage to the linkage.
4. When mechanical resistance is felt in the power levers, release the secondary low pitch
switch. The props should go toward reverse (increase in prop RPM).
h. Check the overspeed governor operation as follows:
1. Set power levers at 1625 RPM.
2. Set propeller control to full increase RPM; the "Reverse Not Ready" lights out.
3. Push up the Hydraulic Topping Governor (HTG) switches and observe the drop in prop
RPM. The drop should be approximately 50 RPM.

2J24 PA-3tT and PA-31Tl
NOTE
Engine instrumentation must be correctly calibrated before

attempting any adjustments.
NOTE
When performing power adjustments, the engines are to be run

with no load applied. Disconnect and cap the air bleed tube at the
rear ftre seal, generators off, etc. Power checks must be carried out
under low wind conditions with the aircraft facing into the wind.
CAUTION
Shutdown the engine if at any time inter-turbine temperature (TS)

rises abnormally.
a. FORWARD GAS GENERATOR (Ng) PICKUP DEAD BAND. The forward pickup d~ad band is
the amount of travel the power lever linkage moves before the gas generator speed starts to increase. The
forward pickup must be matched on each power lever to provide matched power output from the engines.
Adjust the forward dead band on the fuel control unit interconnect rod. (Refer to Figure 8-8.) Shortening
the rod will decrease the amount of dead band.
b. 2000 RPM TORQUE SETTING. The 2000 rpm torque setting is adjusted using the low pitch stop1
adjuster on the engine. (Refer to Figure 8-8, Sketch D.) Adjust the 2000 rpm torque using the following:
procedure:
NOTE
It is not necessary to cap the bleed airline when checking the 2000

(b) Temporarily secure the reset arm to one of the governor screws; then disconnect the
propeller governor interconnect rod from the air bleed link (reset arm).
(c) Loosen the jam nut on the low pitch stop adjuster.
(d) Holding the adjuster slowly turn the barrel in or out to obtain the desired torque setting.
CAUTION
Turning the barrel out will increase torque and turning the barrel in
will decrease the torque.
DO NOT turn the barrel more than two turns. (l/2 turn equals
approximately 50 foot-pounds of torque.)
(e) Tighten the jam nut on the adjuster, remove any securing device used to hold the reset arm
and reconnect the interconnect rod.
NOTE
It may be necessary to readjust the interconnect rod. Refer to

Paragraph 8-49.

c. IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENTS. The engine idle speed is controlled by two separate adjustments;
minimum governing speed and minimum fuel flow. The minimum governing speed adjustment controls
engine idle at pressure altitudes from sea level to approximately 3 500 feet at which the fuel flow required
to achieve 52% ga~ generator (Ng) idle is greater than the minimum fuel flow setting. At higher altitudes
the minimum fuel flow setting will govern Ng idle speed.
CAUTION
The minimum fuel flow setting is NOT FIELD adjustable
NOTE
Do not attempt idle speed checks at pressure altitudes greater than

3,500 feet.
Adjust idle speed as follows:
1. Check to insure that the power lever linkage is adjusted per Paragraph 8-5 5.
2. Start the engine and let the oil temperature stabilize.
3. Set the propeller control lever to feather position.
POWER PLANT
PA-31T and PA-31Tl

4. If Ng is less than 52%, proceed as follows:

(a) Adjust minimum governing speed adjuster with tool (P 1 N 51517) (refer to Figures 2-16
and 8-11, Sketch B & C) to obtain 52% Ng minimum. Turn adjuster clockwise to increase
speed, or counterclockwise to decrease speed.
NOTE
The right engine with the air conditioning compressor may require
setting idle speed to obtain 55% Ng with compressor not operating
to compensate for accessory load when air conditioning system is
on.
CAUTION
The minimum governing speed adjustment is extremely sensitive;

turn the screw in small increments; 1/16 of a tum equals
approximately 1% change in Ng speed.
d. POWER LEVER ALIGNMENT CHECK.
CAUTION
The wheels should be chocked and the parking brakes set when
applying power in excess of 600 foot-pounds, as the aircraft could
move.
1. Advance the power levers to 400, 600, 800 and I ,000 foot-pounds of torque and note the
dimensions which the power levers are out of alignment.
2. Adjustment is made by repositioning the fuel control arm (refer to Figure 8-8, item 7)
clockwise to advance a power lever or counterclockwise to retard a power lever. This adjustment may also
require the readjustment of the fuel control unit interconnect rod (refer to Figure 8-8). Refer to Paragraph
8-44, Step "f" for adjustment of arm and Step "g" for adjustment of the interconnect rod.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 as required to insure power lever alignment.
NOTE
If alignment of the power levers cannot be maintained throughout

their complete travel, it is recommended that a new power lever
arm ( 17) be used.
4. After the power levers are aligned, recheck the gas generator pickup and adjust with
interconnect arm (9).
5. With engines shut down, move power levers full forward and insure gas generator stop is
contacted. Power levers should remain aligned at this position. If gas generator stop cannot be contacted on
one of the engines, the above adjustments must be made to the opposite power lever.
e. REVERSE GAS GENERATOR (Ng) PICKUP DEAD BAND. The reverse gas generator pickup
dead band is the amount of travel the power lever arm moves before the cam follower pin contacts the fuel
control unit reversing lever; at this point the gas generator speed starts to increase. Adjust the pickup dead
band to approximately .31 of an inch. Gas generator pickup should occur when propeller rpm speed has
dropped 150 rpm. These settings may require additional adjustment to insure gas generator speed on both
engines picks up simultaneously in reverse.

f. REVERSE MAXIMUM POWER SETTING. The reverse maximum power setting is limited to
200 shp (shaft horsepower) to achieve the correct reverse power setting, proceed as follows:
CAUTION
Do not select reverse power with the engine static; as damage will
be done to the linkage.
2. Move the power levers into the reverse position and record the torque (Q) and propeller
speed (Np).
3. Move the power levers to the idle position.
4. To determine the reverse horsepower, use the following equation: Q x Np x 0.00019. This
equation will give the reverse power for the prevailing ambient conditions.
5. If necessary, adjust the reverse stop on the power lever linkage. (Refer to Figure 8-8,
Sketch A.) An increase in gap is equal to an increase in engine power. One flat on the reverse power stop
equals a 25 foot-pound increase in torque. For nominal setting, refer to Figure 8-8, Sketch A dimension B.
6. Secure the jam nut on the reverse stop after the adju~tment is complete.
g. MAXIMUM PROPELLER SPEED. The maximum propeller speed is 2200 rpm. Adjust the
maximum propeller speed as follows:
2. With the propeller lever full forward, advance the power lever to obtain 2200 propeller rpm.
3. If necessary, adjust the maximum propeller speed adjustment to obtain the desired 2200
rpm.
h. MAXIMUM GAS GENERATOR (Ng) SPEED. (PA-31T only.) Refer to the Part Power Trim
Check Procedures, Paragraph 8-61.
i. PROP REVERSING ALIGNMENT CHECK.
1. With the engines running, slowly move the power levers toward reverse and note that the
propellers move into Beta together (RPM increase).
2. Matching is determined by carefully rechecking and adjusting the Beta valve. (Refer to
Paragraph 8-55.)
j. MAXIMUM GAS GENERATOR (Ng) SPEED. (PA-31TI only). The maximum governing speed
stop is preset on all fuel control units. The units should not be adjusted in the field.

8-60. ENGINE GROUND TESTING. Ground testing procedures must be carried out periodically to
determine any changes in engine performance and detect any mechanical deterioration of the engine. All
forms of engine deterioration are accompanied by an increase in inter-turbine temperature and fuel flow at
a given power. Compressor deterioration is usually due to dirt deposits and causes an increase in gas
generator speed at a given power setting. This form of deterioration can be remedied by a compressor w~sh.
Refer to Table VII 1-Il for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual. Hot section
deterioration will cause a decrease in gas generator speed at a given power setting.
NOTE
Engine ground testing must be performed with no load applied

(bleed air capped off, generators off, etc.), and under low wind
conditions with the aircraft facing in to the wind.
NOTE

attempting any power checks.
8-61. PART POWER TRIM CHECK. (PA-31T only)(Refer to Figure 8-11.) Fuel control units are
calibrated to insure maximum power. The part power trim stop must be adjusted to insure maximum power
on a 21° C (71° F) day. If engine inlet temperature is other than this, it will not be possible to set the
maximum Ng speed stop without flrst reaching either an inter-turbine temperature or a torque limit. To
overcome this, the part power trim stop is provided. The stop is a movable spacer placed between gas
generator maximum speed (Ng) stop and power lever anvil and represents a 1700 rpm (Ng) speed decrease.
The part power trim stop is permanently attached to the fuel control unit and is used only for engine
trimming. Adjust the maximum Ng speed as follows:
a. Loosen the screw securing the part power trim stop and rotate the stop into position so as to
limit the power control lever. travel.
b. Disconnect and cap the air bleed tube at the rear fire seal. Do not allow any leakage.
c. Start the engine and allow it to stabilize with no load applied to the engine (generators off, bleed
airline capped off, etc.)
d. Advance the power lever until the part power trim stop is contacted and allow the engine to
stabilize at this s~tting with the propeller control forward.
CAUTION
If ambient temperatures are excessively high, it will be impossible

to perform this adjustment without reaching a temperature limit.
Do not exceed the maximum inter-turbine temperature limit
(750°C) and torque limit (1628 foot-pounds at 2000 RPM).
e. Check the gas generator (Ng) speed and, if required, adjust the gas generator maximum speed
adjustment to obtain 97.1% gas generator speed. 1/2 turn~ approximately 1% change.
CAUTION
GAS GENERATOR SPEED MUST NOT EXCEED 97.1%

DURING CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT AND INTER-
TURBINE TEMPERATURE MUST NOT EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM LIMIT (750°C).
f. Shutdown the engine.

g. Stow and lockwire the part power trim stop and lockwire the gas generator maximum speed
adjustment.
h. Conduct a flight to an altitude of 15,000 feet. At some point, obtain a full throttle setting
without exceeding torque or temperature limits. Observe that the maximum Ng speed never exceeds 101%,
but does reach a minimum of 100%. If the Ng does not reach 100%; then readjust set screw on the ground
but DO NOT run up engine on ground. Re-fly the aircraft to obtain a minimum of 100% Ng.
i. If flight test shows Ng above 101%, then readjust set screw on ground to a lower setting and
re-fly aircraft as stated in Step h.
CAUTION
Never exceed I 0 I. 5%.
8-62. ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND DATA PLATE SPEED CHECK. (PA-3IT only.) The data plate
trim speed is gas generator speed recorded and stamped on each engine data plate from the engine final
acceptance test. The engine performance and data plate speed check curve (refer to Charts 8-4 thru 8-8) are
used to determine the desired engine performance parameters. Determine the engine performance as
follows:
a. Obtain and record the outside air tc!mperature at the engine with the engine operating, and set
the altimeter window to 29.92 and record the pressure altitude.
b. Obtain reference rpm stamped on the engine data plate.
c. Refer to Charts 8-4 thru 8-8, and from the appropriate graph read and record torque, fuel flow,
gas generator speed/data plate speed ratio and inter-turbine temperature for the prevailing ambient
conditions.
d. With these values established, proceed with engine performance check.
NOTE
This check must be carried out with zero power extraction (bleed
air capped off, generators off, etc).
e. Disconnect the air bleed tube at the rear frre seal and cap the line. Do not allow any leakage.
f. Start the engine and allow it to stabilize.
g. Set propeller control lever to give 2000 rpm with power lever set to give torque setting previously
determined from the engine performance curve. Allow the instruments to stablize at this setting.
h. Compare observed fuel flow, gas generator speed, and inter-turbine temperature with values
previously recorded. Determine the actual gas generator speed/data plate speed ratio as shown on Chart 8-8.
The values observed must be within the following limits:
1. Fuel flow - ± 15 lb/hr
2. Gas generator speed/data plate speed-± 0.02
3. Maximum inter-turbine temperature not exceeded.
If temperature is more than 75° C below target temperature, check instrumentation.
i. If engine performance deviates from the preceding limits, refer to Table Ylll-11 for appropriate
Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual.
NOTE
The importance of monitoring the performance of an engine

throughout its history cannot be overemphasized. The Aircraft Gas
Turbine Operation Information Letter # 18 has been devised by
Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd., and should be consulted
to aid in monitoring the engine performance trend. (Refer to the
latest revision.)

8-63a. ENGINE GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK. (PA-31Tl Only.) Engine performance checking
curves enables engine performance to be checked, on the ground, over a wide range of ambient temperatures
without overtorquing or overtemperaturing the engine. Charts 8-9 thru 8-12 are used to determine the desired
engine performance parameters. Determine the engine performance as follows:
NOTE
Engine instruments should be recently calibrated.
a. Obtain and record the ambient air temperature. Set the altimeter window to 29.92 and record the
pressure altitude.
b. Refer to Charts 8-9 thru 8-12, and from the appropriate graph read and record torque, fuel flow, gas
generator speed and inter-turbine temperature for the prevailing ambient conditions.
c. With these values established, proceed with engine performance check.
NOTE
This check must be carried out with generators off, but do not dis-
connect bleed air.
d. Start the engine and run at idle rpm for 5 minutes to allow temperatures to stabilize.
e. Set propeller control lever to give 2200 rpm with power lever set to give torque setting previously
determined from the engine performance curve. Allow the instruments to stabilize at this setting.
f. Record and compare observed fuel flow, gas generator speed, and inter-turbine temperature with
values previously recorded. The values observed must be within the following limits:
1. Fuel flow - do not exceed.
2. Gas generator speed - do not exceed.
NOTE
It is normal for the fuel flow, ITT and N g to be below the chart value,
but should not exceed it.
g. If engine performance deviates from the preceding limits, refer to Table VIII-II for appropriate

8-74. INSTALLATION OF FUEL CONTROL UNIT.

CAUTION
If a replacement fuel control unit is to be installed, preservation oil must be
removed. (Refer to Paragraph 8-73.)
a. Check to be certain that the fuel control unit drive coupling is properly installed in the fuel pump
output drive. If coupling shaft was detached during control unit removal, reinstall by inserting male
splined end in fuel pump and engaging pump output drive. Failure to install coupling will result in
uncontrolled Ng increase.
b. Install new 0-ring in recess of fuel pump mating face and install unit over studs. Insure coupling shaft
is meshed properly. Secure unit with washers and self-locking nuts: torque 65 to 85 inch-pounds
c. Connect fuel inlet hose and torque coupling nut 170 to 200 inch-pounds and lockwire.
d. Connect fuel outlet tube, fuel bypass tube and pneumatic tubes to fuel control unit; torque coupling
nuts 90 to 100 inch-pounds and lockwire.
e. Connect fuel control unit interconnect rod; torque nuts 24 to 36 inch-pounds and lock with cotter pin.
f. On the PA-31 Tl only, connect the control cable removed.
g. Perform an engine motoring run per Paragraph 8-57 with starting control lever in run position.
8-75. FUEL CONTROL UNIT CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS. The following checks and adjustments must
be performed after a fuel control unit has been replaced:
a. Idle speed setting (refer to Paragraph 8-59.)
b. Maximum Ng speed (refer to Paragraph 8-61). (PA-31T only.)
c. Fuel control pneumatic system (refer to Table VIII-II for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine
Maintenance Manual.
d. Check the engine performance and data plate trim speed. (Refer to Paragraph 8-62.) (PA-31 T only.)
e. Check engine ground performance. (Refer to Paragraph 8-63a.) (PA-31 T1 only.)
8-76. FUEL CONTROL PNEUMATIC (P3) FILTER MAINTENANCE. The P3 filter is an inline type filter
located in the Px line just aft of the rear fire seal. (Refer to Figure 8-6, Item 15.) The filter should be removed
and inspected for contamination at 100-hour intervals and replaced if necessary. A new filter should be
installed every 1000 hours. Do not attempt to clean this filter with solvent (refer to the latest revision of Pratt
and Whitney Field Note #872 and Engine Maintenance Manual.)
8-77. FUEL MANIFOLD ADAPTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION. Before removing any adapters
from the engine, each adapter should be marked, using a suitable marker (refer to Table VIII-II for appropriate
Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual) to insure returning the adapters to their original position on
the engine. Positions should be numbered clockwise 1 to 14, looking from the rear of the engine with the
number 1 position being at the 12 o'clock location. For complete removal, leakage test and installation of
manifold adapters refer to Table VIII-II for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual.
8-77a. FUEL NOZZLE ADAPTER INSPECTION. (Refer to Figure 8-lla.) Each time the fuel nozzle adapter
is removed or installed:
a. With the nozzle adapter and sheath pressed together by hand and the pin engaged, check the clearance
between the adapter and sheath all around with a feeler gauge. Maximum gap is .003 inch. A larger
gap suggests that one or the other part is distorted and should be replaced.
b. With the nozzle adapter and sheath assembled together, carefully check the clearance around the fuel
nozzle tip with the side of the hole in the sheath, this clearance must not be less than .020 inch. The
shank of a No. 76 drill (.020 dia.) may be used for this purpose. If the clearance is less than this value
at any point or if the drill could not be passed completely around the nozzle tip, determine by
substitution which is the distorted part and discard.

8-78. FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF FUEL MANIFOLD ASSEMBLIES. Fuel nozzles may be tested alone or in
their adapters, using the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd test rig PIN CPWA30506 or be fabricating a
test rig locally from information supplied with this text. (Refer to Figure 8-12)
CAUTIONS
The test rig must be grounded to prevent possible danger of electrostatic
discharge. Observe all fire precautions when working with fuel.
a. Using the fabricated test rig, set the regulator to zero, close the outlet axle (90), open filler valve 6) and
remove plug (11).
CAUTION
Insure that all pressure if any is relieved from the tank before opening the
filler valve (6), or removing plug (11).
b. Fill the tank (1) approximately 3/4 full with clean fuel and close the filler valve (6) and replace the
plug (11).
c. Install a fuel nozzle with or without its adapter using a mounting bracket if desired. Refer to Figure 8-
12 for view of mounting bracket.
d. Set the regulator to obtain 12.5 psig on the pressure gauge (19).
e. Holding the plug (23) against the transfer tube and nozzle adapter (if no bracket is used), gradually
open the outlet valve (20).
f. A good clean spray should appear at less than 12.5 psig, free from spitting or drooling.
g. Increase the pressure to 60 psig. The volume of the spray should increase. There should be a maximum
of 12% streakiness and the spray should be evenly spread about the center axis of the nozzle orifice.
NOTE
Streakiness is defined as variation of spray quantity in different parts of the
spray cone, showing up as darker streaks in the spray.

8-79. FUEL SCAVENGER SYSTEM. The purpose of the fuel scavenger system is to collect residual fuel after
engine shutdown and return the fuel to the nacelle fuel tank during engine start. The system consists of a
solenoid valve, a jet type pump with an integral reservoir mounted on the side of the oil cooler duct below the
accessory gearbox housing, a check valve, and the necessary lines and tubing interconnecting the system.
The system operates during engine shutdown and startup only. When the engine is shutdown, residual fuel
is drained into the scavenger pump reservoir from the fuel nozzles. During engine startup, a solenoid valve is
energized allowing engine purge fuel to enter the scavenger pump jet. The high velocity fuel from the jet picks
up the fuel in the reservoir and returns the fuel to the nacelle tank When the starter is released, the solenoid
valve is returned to the closed position. An overboard vent line is attached to the scavenger pump in the event
of a malfunction. The presence of fuel being vented overboard indicates the system is not operating properly.
Maintenance to the system is limited to checking the solenoid valve and check valve for proper operation and
examining lines and tubing for obstructions or leakage. (Refer to Table VIII-III for Troubleshooting
procedures.)

8-80. IGNITION SYSTEM.
8-81. GENERAL. The ignition system consists .of one exciter box, two ignition leads, and two sp¥k
igniters for each engine.
The igniters are of the low voltage or shunted surface gap type,. requiring about 8000-volts to spark.
Ignition is by both igniters simultaneously; there is no provision for single igniter operation. D.C. power is
delivered to the exciter box from the respective engine bus through a series hookup of an ignition selector
switch in the engine control switch panel, and a micro switch located on the start control lever, so that no
power is available to the exciter box until both switches have been actuated. The igriition cutoff switch will
not be actuated until the start control lever has been moved out of the cutoff position.
For information regarding the items installed on the engine and functional check of the system, refer
to Table VIII-II for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual.
WARNING
Observe the necessary safety precautions when working with the

high-voltage ignition system. Allow at least 6 minutes after the
ignition system is turned off before touching the ignition system.
This is a 4. 7 joule system and is capable of killing if improperly
handled.
8-82. CHECKING IGNITION SYSTEM. A common cause of ignition problems is the low battery. Before
inspecting the ignition system, try a normal start with a auxiliary power unit. If engine will not start
proceed to check ignition system. The ignition system requires at least 9 volts to spark.
During the following procedure, it is recommended that an auxiliary power unit (APU) be used for
motoring runs and start attempts to eliminate the possibility of low voltage at the exciter box and/or
excessive battery drain.
WARNING
Do not turn on ignition before motoring engine 15 to 20 seconds

prior to proceeding to step a.
a. Turn on battery master switch, ignition arm switch, and advance the condition lever to "run".
(Engine not rotating) Listen for spark. If spark is audible, ignition is satisfactory.
1. Proceed as follows ifspark is not audible as noted in Step a:
(a) Disconnect the battery.
(b) Remove one or the other engine igniters and touch lead end against engine case to be
sure no residual charge is retained.
(c) While the lead is disconnected install a new igniter on the end of the harness.
CAUTION
Hold the igniter stationary, insert the rubber lead into the igniter
and tighten the nut fmger tight. Do Not rotate the igniter after the
rubber has been inserted, or the lead will be damaged. Turn the
nut to prevent damaging the lead.

2L3 PA-311 and PA-31Tl
(d) Allowing the igniter to hang on the lead, reconnect the battery.
CAUTION
Be sure all personnel are clear of the ignition system and that the
igniter is not near an explosive mixture, such as spilled fuel or
solvents.
(e) Tum on master switch, ignition arm switch and advance the condition lever to "run".
Ignition should fire one to two times per second depending on voltage.
(t) If ignition is ftring satisfactorily as noted in Step (e) proceed as follows:
(1) Secure engine by moving the condition lever to "Stop", ignition switch off, and
tum battery-master switch off,
(2) Install new igniters in the engine and reconnect the harness.
(g) Check the operation of new installed igniters by performing a normal start. If the
aircraft is not in a position for starting the engine, perform the following:
( 1) Tum the battery master switch "ON".
(2) DO NOT tum the Ignition Switch "ON".
(3) DO NOT tum the Fuel Pump "ON".
(4) Turn the Starter Switch "ON" and motor the engine for 15-20 seconds.
(5) Turn the Starter Switch "OFF" and allow the engine to come to a complete stop.
(6) Turn the Ignition Switch "ON".

8-93: BLEED AIR SYSTEM.
8-94. GENERAL. The engine has three separate air bleed systems; a compressor air bleed control, a bearing
compartment air seal and bleed system, and a turbine disc cooling system. Engine compressor bleed air is used
to provide high pressure air for cabin pressurization. · ·
Compressor bleed valve malfunction may cause unsatisfactory part power and performance checks. For
symptoms of compressor bleed valve malfunction, refer to Table VIII-II for appropriate Pratt and Whitney
Engine Maintenance Manual.
8-95. ENGINE INDICATING SYSTEMS.
8-96. TORQUE PRESSURE INDICATING SYSTEM.
8-97. GENERAL. The torque pressure system consists of a pressure·transmitter mounted on the reduction
gearbox case, and a torquemeter indicator mounted in the instrument panel. The torque pressure value is
obtained from the pressure transmitter which monitors the pressure differential between the two outlets on top
of the reduction gearbox case.

8-98. CALIBRATION. (Refer to Figure 8-14.)

a. On earlier models the torque indicating system can be calibrated by adjusting the transmitter, P /N
489 410 as follows:
I. Remove the torque pressure transmitter from the reduction gear box case.
2. Connect a suitable pressure system tester with a calibrated gauge to the pressure transmitter
using the appropriate AN fittings and pressure hose. The pressure tester must be capable of providing and
monitoring static pressures from 0 to 60 psi using engine oil.
3. Reconnect the engine electrical harness to the transmitter and turn the aircraft master switch
ON.
4. Adjust pressure tester to 26.2 psi.
5. Adjust transmitter to obtain 800 foot pounds.
6. After adjusting transmitter to 800 foot pounds, check for 100 to 1800 foot pounds at 100 foot
pound increments. Adjust to minimize error.
7. If necessary, repeat steps 5 and 6 to obtain correct torque readings. The transmitter adjustment
is an allen screw located behind the transmitter capscrew. Turn the adjustment accordingly to correct the
torque reading. Recheck all readings after replacing lockscrew.
b. On later models the torque indicating system can be calibrated by the low and high adjustments
behind the gauge. The transmitter, PIN 29287-02 used on later models requires no adjustments. Proceed to
calibrate the torque indicating system on later models as follows:
I. Remove the torque pressure transmitter from the reduction gear box case.
2. Connect a suitable pressure system tester with a calibrated gauge to the pressure transmitter
using the appropriate AN fittings and pressure hose. The pressure tester must be capable of providing and
monitoring static pressures from 0 to 60 psi using engine oil.
3. Reconnect the engine electrial harness to the transmitter and turn the aircraft master switch
ON.
4. Adjust pressure tester to 26.2 psi and adjust low setting on gauge to 800 foot pounds. Apply
49.1 psi and adjust high setting to 1500 foot pounds.
5. After making the (L)-Low and (H)-High adjustments on-the gauge, recheck to see that both
adj.ustments remained within the tolerance allowed. (Refer to Table VIii-IV.)
6. After successful completion of, (L) 800 foot pound and (H) 1500 foot pound adjustments to
gauge, check from 100 to 1800 foot pounds at 100 foot pounds increments. A-djust to minimize error.
7. If necessary, repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 to obtain correct torque readings. The gauge adjustments
are located behind the gauge. Turn the adjustment accordingly to correct the torque reading.

8-99. INTER-TURBINE TEMPERATURE SENSING SYSTEM (ITT).
8-100. GENERAL. The inter-turbine temperature sensing system (T5) is designed to monitor engine
operating temperatures at a point between the two turbines. The system consists of a thermocouple
assembly. trim harness and an instrument panel-mounted indicator. Refer to Table VIII-II for appropriate
Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual for detailed information.
8-10 I. RESISTANCE CHECK OF INTER-TURBINE TEMPERATURE SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure

R-17.) This check may be performed by using a Turbine Temperature Indicating System Test Set (Barfield
2312G-8. Barfield lnst. Corp., 4101 N.W. 29th St., Miami. Florida 33142 or equivalent). Read complete
test set instruction manual before attempting to use the unit.
a. Check continuity and loop resistance measured across chrome! and alumel terminals of terminal
block. Acceptable loop resistance is 0.5 to 1.0 ohm with the aircraft harness disconnected from the engine
terminals.
CAUTION
The thermocouples will generate a small potential which will

produce errors in the measured values if this check is made while
the engine is hot.
NOTE
If several probes are broken or damaged internally, the loop

resistance would not necessarily fall outside the allowable
tolerance. However. erroneous temperature indications could
occur because of the resultant unbalance in the harness circuit.
b. Check insulation resistance of harness at terminal block. When measured from either chrome! or
alumel terminal to ground, minimum acceptable resistance is 5000 ohms. (Refer to Figure R-18.)
c. Check the resistance of the aircraft harness with the engine harness disconnected, and the red and
yellow wires temporarily bolted together instead of connected to the ITT indicator terminals. The value should
be approximately 7.63 .± .1 ohms.
8-102. INTER-TURBINE TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION CHECK. (Refer to Figure 8-IR.)

a. Remove yellow and red wires from the heat probe terminal that go to the ITT gauge.
b. Connect the wires to the Barfield (2312G-8) test set or equivalent.and the Digital Multimeter.
c. Position the Barfield Instrument function switch to Indicate and the Digital M ultimeter to DCV
and I position.
d. Check the ITT gauge for each temperature indication by the following:
1. While pressing the test switch and turning the calibration adjustment knob on the Barfield
instrument. obtain the proper mv (millivolts) indicated on the multimeter for the appropriate temperature
given on the chart.
2. Check each temperature indication and tolerance with the appropriate mv (millivolts).
8-103. TACHOMETER-GENERATORS (PROPELLER AND GAS GENERATOR).
8-104. GENERAL. The propeller (Np) and gas generator (Ng) tachometer-generators produce an electric
current which is proportional to gas generator and propeller speed. The electric current is monitored by
tachometer indicators mounted in the instrument panel which indicate propeller and gas generator speed.
The gas generator tachometer-generator is mounted on the backside of the accessory gearbox and rotates
counterclockwise. The propeller tachometer-generator is mounted on the right side of the reduction
gearbox case and rotates clockwise.

8-106. ENGINE CONDITION TREND MONITORING SYSTEM. Contemporary gas turbine engine
maintenance systems frequently include inflight engine performance monitoring, as a means of detecting
mechanical deterioration in engine gas paths. A simple system requiring almost no arithmetic calculation has
been devised for PT6 Engines to aid in planning indicated rectifications early, and so reduce primary and
secondary damage costs resulting from fully developed failures, and risks of inflight shutdowns and flight
cancellations.
The Engine Condition Trend Monitoring System has been set up by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada
Limited in order to maintain efficient engine performance. This is not a mandatory procedure, but is highly
recommended by Pratt and Whitney and Piper Aircraft Corporation. Copies of the procedure can be obtained
from Pratt and Whitney. Refer to the latest revision of Pratt and Whitney Information Letter #18, Aircraft Gas
Turbine Operation, for more information.
8-107. ENGINE WIRING HARNESS 500 HOUR INSPECTION. Each 500 hours, inspect the engine wiring
harness where it crosses the hot section.
a. Remove the metal heat resistant tape from the engine wiring harness where it crosses the hot
section.
b. Inspect the wiring harness for heat damage or deterioration. Repair or replace as required.
c. Reinstall metal heat resistant tape.

SECTION VIllA
POWER PLANT
PA-31T2
8A-I. INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this section is to provide service instructions for the power plant
installation and its related components. The maintenance concept of this section is supplemental to Pratt and
Whitney's Engine Maintenance Manual (refer to Table VIIlA-II for appropriate manual) and consists of
removal, installation, and adjustments of external components and engine accessories. Repairs beyond this
level should be accomplished by an approved Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. overhaul facility.
The instructions are organized so the mechanic can refer to: Description, for a basic understanding of the
power plant and its various components: Troubleshooting, for a methodical approach in locating the
difficulty; and Removal, Installation, and Adjustment instructions to aid the mechanic when servicing the
aircraft power plants.
In the interest of maintaining the efficient engine performance. an Engine Condition Trend Monitoring
System has been set up by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. This is not a mandatory procedure. but
is highly recommended by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. and Piper Aircraft Corporation. The
use of this procedure will establish a means by which the engine condition can be observed without actual
teardown of components. until conditions warrant it. Copies of the procedure can be obtained from Pratt and
Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd.; Refer to the latest revision of Aircraft Gas Turbine Operation Information
Letter #15.
8A-2. DESCRIPTION. The Piper Cheyenne is powered by two lightweight, free turbine Pratt and Whitney
PT 6A turboprop engines, for leading particulars refer to Section II.
The engines are completely enclosed by cowlings consisting of an upper and lower section of cantilever
construction attached at the firewall. A hinged door on the upper cowls allows access to the oil filler neck and
quantity dipstick. The air inlet ice deflector door is an integral part of the lower cowl assembly.
A compressor wash ring is offered as optional equipment. When installed. routine compressor washes
may be performed. without the removal of the cowling. through an access door located on the outboard side of
the nacelle.
The propeller installations are constant speed, full feathering, reversing type, controlled by engine oil
pressure through single-acting propeller governors. Centrifugal counterweights assisted by a feathering
spring move the blades toward the low rpm {high pitch) position and into the feather position. This
movement is opposed by oil pressure controlled by the propeller governor. Oil pressure moves the propeller
to the high rpm {low pitch) hydraulic stop and reverse position. The propellers have no high pitch stop: this
allows the propeller to feather after engine shutdown.
The engine lubricating system is a pressure type with the main oil pump located in the oil tank. The oil
tank is an integral part of the compressor inlet case.
The fuel control system consists of a single engine driven pump. a fuel control unit. with fuel shutoff.
and a dual fuel manifold with seven nozzles per manifold. An automatic fuel dump valve and two
scavenger pump system collects residual fuel after engine shutdown and injects the fuel back into the
aircraft fuel tank during engine start.
The ignition system consists of one exciter box. two ignition leads. and two spark igniters for ~ach
engine which require about 8000-volts to spark. Ignition is by both igniters simultaneously; there is no
provision for single igniter operation.
The engine is also equipped with a 28-volt. 200 amp starter-generator, hydraulic pump, power section
tachometer genentor. gas generator tachometer generator, and an air bleed system which provides high
pressure air for cabin pressurization. The complete engine assembly is supported on a tubular steel mount
attached at the fire wall.

SA-37. CONDITION LEVERS. Each condition lever controls its respective engine through the start
control; and the fuel control unit by a link that interconm:cts the cam box with the start control. With this
design, each condition lever has three positions: STOP, which is the idle cut-off position; LOW I OLE, which
operates the engine at 56%; and HIGH IDLE, which operates the engine at 65%. When in the STOP or idle
cut-off position, the start control shuts off fuel to the flow divider/ dump valve assembly which directs fuel to
the primary and secondary fuel nozzles.
The condition levers also control ignition to their respective engines by a micros witch rigged to each lever.
Whenever a condition lever is in STOP, its microswitch is actuated causing the circuit to the ignition unit to
be deactivated.

attempting any adjustments. ·
NOTE
When performing power adjustments, the engines are to be run

with no load applied. Disconnect and cap the air bleed tube at the
rear fire seal, generators off. etc. Power checks must be carried out
under low wind conditions with the aircraft facing into the wind.
CAUTION
Shutdown the engine if at any time inter-turbine temperature (T5)

rises abnormally.
a. FORWARD GAS GENERATOR (Ng) PICKUP DEAD BAND. The forward pickup dead band
is the amount of travel the power lever linkage moves before the gas generator speed starts to increase. The
forward pickup must be matched on each power lever to provide matched power output from the engines.
Adjust the forward dead band on the fuel control unit interconnect rod. (Refer to Figure 8A-8.) Shortening
the rod will decrease the amount of dead band.
b. 1700 RPM TORQUE SETTING. The 1700 rpm torque setting is adjusted using the low pitch stop
adjuster on the engine. (Refer to Figure 8A-8, Sketch D.) Adjust the 1700 rpm torque using the following
procedure:
NOTE
It is not ne·cessary to cap the bleed airline when checking the I 700
rpm torque setting.
I. Accurately record the stabilized outside air temperature in degrees Centigrade, and set the
altimeter window to 29.92 and record the pressure altitude.
3. With the propeller lever full forward, advance the power lever until 1700 rpm propeller speed
is obtained.
4. Record the engine torque indicated on the torquemeter.
5. Shutdown the engine.
6. Refer to Chart 8A-6 and read the desired engine torque for the prevailing ambient conditions.
7. Insure that the Beta valve slot is flush with the Beta valve capnut; minor torque changes can be
made by adjusting the low pitch stop adjuster as follows: (Refer to Figure 8A- 10.)
(a) Holding track point position on the cam control lever, insert tool P j N 515 I 6 behind the
cam onto the pin and hold the cam and tool in position with a small pair of vise grip
pliers. Install vise grip pliers tight enough to hold the control cam from moving, but not
tight enough to damage the cam. (Refer to Figure 8A-8, Sketch C.)
(b) Temporarily secure the reset arm to one of the governor screws; then disconnect the
propeller governor interconnect rod from the air bleed link (reset arm).
(c) Loosen the jam nut on the low pitch stop adjuster.
(d) Holding the adjuster slowly turn the barrel in or out to obtain the desired torque setting.
POWER PLANT
3B19
CAUTION
Turning the barrel out will increase torque and turning the barrel in
will decrease the torque.
DO NOT turn the barrel more than two turns. ( 1;2 turn equals
approximately 50 foot-pounds of torque.)
(e) Tighten the jam nut on the adjuster, remove any securing device used to hold the reset
arm and reconnect the interconnect rod.
NOTE
It may be necessary to readjust the interconnect rod. (Refer to

Paragraph 8A-49.)
(f) To insure that no movement was transferred through the wire rope to the cam box, check
the clevis pin fit with the cam at track point. The clevis pin must be a slip fit.
NOTE
The torque meter reading should be within 40 foot-pounds of the

value obtained from chart. Right and left engines should be 20 foot-
pounds of each other.

c. IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENTS. T.he engine idle speed is controlled by two separate adjustments:
minimum governing speed and minimum fuel flow. The minimum governing speed adjustment controls
engine idle at pressure altitudes from sea level to approximately 3500 feet at which the fuel flow required
to achieve 52o/c gas generator (Ng) idle is greater than the minimum fuel flow setting. At higher altitudes
the minimum fuel flow setting will govern the Ng idle speed.
CAUTION
The minimum fuel flow setting is NOT FIELD adjustable.
NOTE
Do not attempt idle speed checks at pressure altitudes greater than

3500 feet.
Adjust idle speed as follows:

l. Check to insure that the power lever linkage is adjusted per Paragraph SA-55.
2. Start the engine and let the oil temperature stabilize.
3. Set the propeller control lever to feather position.

PA-31T2
3B21
4. If Ng is less than 52%, proceed as follows:

(a) Adjust minimum governing speed adjuster with tool (P/N 51517)(refer to Figures 2-16
and 8A-Il, Sketch B) to obtain 52% Ng minimum. Turn adjuster clockwise to increase
speed, or counterclockwise to decrease speed.
CAUTION
The minimum governing speed adjustment is extremely sensitive;

turn the screw in small increments; 1/16 of a turn equals
approximately I% change in Ng speed.
d. POWER LEVER ALIGNMENT CHECK.
CAUTION
The wheels should be checked and the parking brakes set when
applying power in excess of 600 foot-pounds. as the aircraft could
move.
I. Advance the power levers to 400, 600, 800 and I ,000 foot-pounds of torque and note the
dimensions which the power levers are out of alignment.
2. Adjustment is made by repositioning the fuel control arm (refer to Figure 8A-8, item 7)
clockwise to advance a power lever or counterclockwise to retard a power lever. This adjustment may also
require the readjustment of the fuel control unit interconnect rod (refer to Figure 8A-8). Refer to Paragraph
8A-44. Step "f" for adjustment of arm and Step "g" for adjustment of the interconnect rod.
3. Repeat Steps I and 2 as required to insure power lever alignment.
NOTE
If alignment of the power levers cannot be maintained throughout

their complete travel. it is recommended that a new power lever
arm (I 7) be used.
4. After the power levers are aligned, recheck the gas generator pickup and adjust with
interconnect arm (9).
5. With engines shut down, move power levers full forward and insure gas generator stop is
contacted. Power levers should remain aligned at this position. If gas generator stop cannot be contacted on
one of the engines, the above adjustments must be made to the opposite power lever.
e. REVERSE GAS GENERATOR (Ng) PICK UP DEAD BAND. The reverse gas generator pickup
dead band is the amount of travel the power lever arm moves before the cam follower pin contacts the fuel
control unit reversing lever; at this point the gas generator speed starts to increase. Adjust the pickup dead
band to approximately .31 of an inch. Gas generator pickup should occur when propeller rpm speed has
dropped 150 rpm. These settings may require additional adjustment to insure gas generator speed on both
engines picks up simultaneously in reverse.

3822 PA-31T2
f. REVERSE MAXIMUM POWER SETTING. The reverse maximum power setting is limited to.
200 shp (shaft horsepower) to achieve the correct reverse power setting, proceed as follows:
I. Start the engine and allow the instruments to stabilize.
CAUTION
Do not select reverse power with the engine static: as damage will
be done to the linkage.
2. Move the power levers into the reverse position and record the torque (Q) and propeller
speed (Np).
3. Move the power levers to the idle position.
4. To determine the reverse horsepower, use the following equation: Q x Np x 0.00019. This
equation will give the reverse power for the prevailing ambient conditions.
5. If necessary, adjust the reverse stop on the power linkagt::. (Refer to Figure 8A-8,
Sketch A.) An increase in gap is equal to an increase in engine power. One flat on the reverse power stop
equals a 25 foot-pound increase in torque. For nominal setting, refer to Figure 8A-8, Sketch A dimension B.
6. Secure the jam nut on the reverse stop after the adjustment is complete.
g. MAXIMUM PROPELLER SPEED. The maximum propeller speed is 1900 rpm. Adjust the
maximum propeller speed as follows:
I. Start the engine and allow the instruments to stabilize.
2. With the propeller lever full forward, advance the power lever to obtain 1900 propeller rpm.
3. If necessary, adjust the maximum propeller speed adjustment to obtain the desired 1900
rpm.
h. MAXIMUM GAS GENERATOR (Ng) SPEED. Refer to the Part Power Trim Check
Procedures, Paragraph 8A-61.
t. PROP REVERSING ALIGNMENT CHECK.
I. With the engines running, slowly move the power levers toward reverse and note that the
propellers move into Beta together (RPM increase).
2. Matching is determined by carefully rechecking and adjusting the Beta valve. (Refer to
Paragraph 8A-55.)

SA-60. ENGINE GROUND TESTING. Ground testing procedures must be carried out periodically to
determine any changes in engine performance and detect any mechanical deterioration of the engine. All
forms of engine deterioration are accompanied by an increase in inter-turbine temperature and fuel flow at
a given power. Compressor deterioration is usually due to dirt deposits and causes an increase in gas
generator speed at a given power setting. This form of deterioration can be remedied by a compressor wash.
Refer to Table VIIIA-Il for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual. Hot section
deterioration will cause a decrease in gas generator speed at a given power setting.
NOTE
Engine ground testing must be performed with no load applied

(bleed air capped off, generators off, etc.) and under low wind
conditions with the aircraft facing into the wind.
NOTE

attempting any power checks.
8A-6l. PART POWER TRIM CHECK. (Refer to Figure 8A-ll.) Fuel control units are calibrated to insure
maximum power. The part power trim stop must be adjusted to insure maximum power on a 21° C (71 oF) day.
If engine inlet temperature is other than this, it will not be possible to set the maximum Ng speed stop without
first reaching either an inter-turbine temperature or a torque limit. To overcome this, the part power trim stop
is provided. The stop is a movable spacer placed between gas generator maximum speed (Ng) stop and power
lever anvil and represents a 1700 rpm (Ng) speed decrease. The part power trim stop is permanently attached to
the fuel control unit and is used only for engine trimming. Adjust the maximum Ng speed as follows:
a. Loosen the screw securing the part power trim stop and rotate the stop into position so as to
limit the power control lever travel.
b. Disconnect and cap the air bleed tube at the rear fire seal. Do not allow any leakage.
c. Start the engine ancrallow it to stabilize with no load applied to the engine (generators off, bleed
airline capped off, etc.)
d. Advance the power lever until the part power trim stop is contacted and allow the engine to
stabilize at this setting with the propeller control forward.
CAUTION
If ambient temperatures are excessively high, it will be impossible

to perform this adjustment without reaching a temperature limit.
Do not exceed the maximum inter-turbine temperature limit
(805°C) and torque limit (1714 foot-pounds at 1900 RPM).
e. Check the gas generator (Ng) speed and. if required, adjust the gas generator maximum speed
adjustment to obtain 97. Io/c gas generator speed. 1/2 turn·= approximately I% change.
CAUTION
GAS GENERATOR SPEED MUST NOT EXCEED 97.1%

DURING CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT AND INTER-
TURBINE TEMPERATURE MUST NOT EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM LIMIT (805°().

f. Shutdown the engine.

g. Stow and lockwire the part power trim stop and lockwire the gas generator maximum speed
adjustment.
h. Conduct a flight to an altitude of 15,000 feet. At some point, obtain a full throttle setting
without exceeding torque or temperature limits. Observe that the maximum Ng speed never exceeds 101%,
but does reach a minimum of 100%. If the Ng does not reach 100%: then readjust set screw on the ground
but DO NOT run up engine on ground. Re-fly the aircraft to obtain a minimum of 100% Ng.
i. If flight test shows Ng above 101%. then readjust set screw on ground to a lower setting and
re-fly aircraft as stated in Step h.
CAUTION
Never exceed 101.5%.
8A-62. ENGINE OYERTEMPERATURE AND OYER TORQUE LIMITS. For overtemperature or over-
torque limits and the necessary inspection procedures and corrective action, refer to Table YlllA-Il for
8A-62a. ENGINE GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK. Engine performance checking curves enables
engine performance to be checked, on the ground, over a wide range of ambient temperatures without over-
torquing or overtemperaturing the engine. Charts 8A-2 thru 8A-5 are used to determine the desired engine
performance parameters. Determine the engine performance as follows:
NOTE
Engine instruments should be recently calibrated.
a. Obtain and record the ambient air temperature. Set the a.ltimeter window to 29.92 and record the
pressure altitude.
b. Refer to Charts 8A-2 thru 8A-5, and from the appropriate graph read and record fuel flow. gas
generator speed torque and inter-turbine temperature for the prevailing ambient conditions.
c. With these values established. proceed with engine performance check.
NOTE
This check must be carried out with generators off, but do

not disconnect bleed air.
d. Start the engine and run at idle rpm for 5 minutes to allow temperatures to stabilize.
e. Set propeller control lever to give 1900 rpm with power lever set to give torque setting previously
determined from the engine performance curve. Allow the instruments to stabilize at this setting.
f. Record and compare observed fuel flow, gas generator speed, and inter-turbine temperature with
values previously recorded. The values observed must be within the following limits:
I. Fuel flow - do not exceed.
2. Gas generator speed - do not exceed.
NOTE
It is normal for the fuel flow, ITT and N g to be below the chart value,
but should not exceed it.

8A-76a. FUEL NOZZLE ADAPTER INSPECTION. (Refer to Figure 8-lla.) Each time the fuel nozzle
adapter is removed or installed:
a. With the nozzle adapter and sheath pressed together by hand and the pin engaged, check the clearance
between the adapter and sheath all around with a feeler gauge. Maximum gap is .003 inch. A larger
gap suggests that one or the other part is distorted and should be replaced.
b. With the nozzle adapter and sheath assembled together, carefully check the clearance around the fuel
nozzle tip with the side of the hole in the sheath, this clearance must not be less than .020 inch. The
shank of a No. 76 drill (.020 dia.) may be used for this purpose. If the clearance is less than this value
at any point or if the drill could not be passed completely around the nozzle tip, determine by
substitution which is the distorted part and discard.

in their adapters, using the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. test rig PIN CPWA30506 or by
fabricating a test rig locally from information supplied with this text. (Refer to Figure 8A-12.)
CAUTIONS
The test rig must be grounded to prevent possible danger of
electrostatic discharge.
Observe all fire precautions when working with fuel.
POWER PLANT
PA-31T2 3Cl2 Interim Revision: 10/15/97
a. Using the fabricated test rig, set the regulator to zero, close the outlet valve (20), open filler valve
(6) and remove plug (II).
CAUTION
Insure that all pressure if any is relieved from the tank before
opening the filler valve ( 6), or removing plug (II).
b. Fill the tank (I) approximately 3/4 full with clean fuel and close the filler valve (6) and replace
the plug (II).
c. Install a fuel nozzle with or without its adapter using a mounting bracket if desired. Refer to
Figure 8A-12 for view of mounting bracket.
d. Set the regulator to obtain 12.5 psig on the pressure gauge (19).
e. Holding the plug (23) against the transfer tube and nozzle adapter (if no bracket is used),
gradually open the outlet valve (20).
f. A good clean spray should appear at less than 12.5 psig, free from spitting or drooling.
g. Increase the pressure to 60 psig. The volume of the spray should increase. There should be a
maximum of 12% streakiness and the spray should be evenly spread about the center axis of the nozzle
orifice.
NOTE
Streakiness is defined as variation of spray quantity in different

parts of the spray cone, showing up as darker streaks in the spray.
h. If spitting or drooling occurs at 12.5 psig, or more than 12 percent streakiness is evident at 60
psig, reject the fuel nozzle and install a new nozzle.
i. If necessary, remove carbon buildup at the fuel nozzle by lightly brushing the orifice face with
either a bronze or non-metallic bristled brush. Cleaning must be accomplished while fuel is flowing through
the nozzle.
j. Close the pressure regulating valve (5) and allow the pressure gauge to decrease to zero, then close
valve (20).
NOTE
It is suggested that a few new nozzles be tested m order to

recognize a good spray pattern.
8A-78. FUEL SCAVENGER SYSTEM. The purpose of the fuel scavenger system is to collect residual fuel
after engine shutdown and return the fuel to the nacelle fuel tank during engine start. The system consists
of a solenoid valve, a jet type pump with an integral reservoir mounted on the side of the oil cooler duct
below the accessory gearbox housing, a check valve, and the necessary lines and tubing interconnecting the
system.
The system operates during engine shutdown and startup only. When the engine is shutdown, residual
fuel is drained into the scavenger pump reservoir from the fuel nozzles. During engine startup, a solenoid
valve is energized allowing engine purge fuel to enter the scavenger pump jet. The high velocity fuel from
the jet picks up the fuel in the reservoir and returns the fuel to the nacelle tank. When the starter is released,
the solenoid valve is returned to the closed position. An overboard vent line is attached to the scavenger pump
in the event of a malfunction. The presence of fuel being vented overboard indicates the system is not operating
properly. Maintenance to the system is limited to checking the solenoid valve and check valve for proper
operation and examining lines and tubing for obstructions or leakage. (Refer to Table VIllA-III for
Troubleshooting procedures.)

8A-79. IGNITION SYSTEM.
8A-80. GENERAL.The ignition system consists of one exciter box, two ignition leads, and two spark
igniters for each engine.
The igniters are of the low voltage or shunted surface gap type, requiring about 8000-volts to spark.
Ignition is by both igniters simultaneously; there is not provision for single igniter operation. D.C. power is
delivered to the exciter box from the respective engine bus through a series hookup of an ignition selector
switch in the engine control switch panel, and a micro switch located on the start control lever, so that no
power is available to the exciter box until both switches have been actuated. The ignition cutoff switch will
not be actuated until the start control lever has been moved out of the cutoff position.
For information regarding the items installed on the engine and functional check of the system, refer
to Table VIIlA-II for appropriate Pratt and Whitney Engine Maintenance Manual.
WARNING
Observe the necessary safety precautions when working with the

high voltage ignition system. Allow at least 6 minutes after the
ignition system is turned off before touching the ignition system.
This is a 4. 7 joule system and is capable of killing if improperly
handled.

SA-81. CHECKING IGNITION SYSTEM. A common cause of ignition problems is the low battery. Before
inspecting the ignition system, try a normal start with a auxiliary power unit. If engine will not start
proceed to check ignition system. The ignition system requires at least 9 volts to spark.
During the following procedure. it is recommended that an auxiliary power unit (APU) be used for
motoring runs and start attempts to eliminate the possibility of low voltage at the exciter box and/or
excessive battery drain.
WARNING
Do not turn on ignition before motoring engine 15 to 20 seconds

prior to proceeding to step a.
a. Turn on battery master switch, ignition arm switch, and advance the condition lever to "run".
(Engine not rotating) Listen for spark. If spark is audible, ignition is satisfactory.
l. Proceed as follows if spark is not audible as noted in Step a:
(a) Disconnect the battery.
(b) Remove one or the other engine igniters and touch lead end against engine case to be
sure no residual charge is retained.
(c) While the lead is disconnected install a new igniter on the end of the harness.
CAUTION
Hold the igniter stationary, insert the rubber lead into the igniter
and tighten the nut finger tight. Do Not rotate the igniter after the
rubber has been inserted, or the lead will be damaged. Turn the
nut to prevent damaging the lead.

PA-31T2
3C16
(d) Allowing the igniter to hang on the lead, reconnect the battery.
CAUTION
Be sure all personnel are clear of the ignition system and that the
igniter is not near an explosive mixture, such as spilled fuel or
solvents.
(e) Turn on master switch, ignition arm switch and advance the condition lever to "run".
Ignition should flre one to two times per second depending on voltage.
(f) If ignition is ftring satisfactorily as noted in Step (e) proceed as follows:
(1) Secure engine by moving the condition lever to "Stop", ignition switch off, and
turn battery-master switch off,
(2) Install new igniters in the engine and reconnect the harness.
(g) Check the operation of new installed igniters by performing a normal start. If the
aircraft is not in a position for starting the engine, perform the following:
(I) Turn the battery master switch "ON".
(2) DO NOT turn the Ignition Switch "ON".
(3) DO NOT turn the Fuel Pump "ON".
(4) Turn the Starter Switch "ON" and motor the engine for 15-20 seconds.
(5) Turn the Starter Switch "OFF" and allow the engine to come to a complete stop.
(6) Turn the Ignition Switch "ON".
(7) DO NOT turn the Starter Switch "ON".
(8) With the engine not rotating, advance the CONDITION lever to "RUN". Listen
for spark. If sparking is audible, ignition is satisfactory.
(9) Secure engine by turning the CONDITION lever to "STOP" Ignition Switch
"OFF" and Battery Switch "OFF".
(h) If engine will not start, or if the ignition is NOT ·firing, secure the engine using normal
procedures and perform the following:
( 1) Remove the electrical plug from the primary end of the exciter box and with a
Volt Ohmmeter, check for 24 volts between pin A+ and B (the master switch and
ignition switch must be "ON" and the start control full forward).
(2) If 24 volts are present on the primary side and no ignition, attach a new harness
to one side of the box. Install the new igniter on this lead and try for ignition
(master "ON", ignition "ON" and start control forward). If no spark - replace
exciter box.
(3) Check the operation of the newly installed exciter box by repeating g above, for
testing igniters in the engine.
(i) If engine does not start, check the fuel system for proper operation.
8A-82. IGNITfONTUTOFF SWITCH- REMOY ALAND INSTALLATION. The ignition cutoff switches
are mounted in the same manner as the landing gear warning switches. Refer to Section VI I, for removal and
installation instructions.
8A-83. IGNITION CUTOFF SWITCH ADJUSTMENT. The ignition cutoff switches are located in the
control pedestal and are activated by the start control lever.
a. Set the start control levers in the cutoff position.
b. With the adjustment screw on the switch bracket, adjust each switch separately toward the start
control lever until the switch is heard to actuate I inch of forward travel. The adjustment screw may be

8A-84. IGNITER PLUG CLEANING AND INSPECTION.

a. Cap the cable terminal end of the igniter plug to prevent entry of foreign material during
cleaning.
b. Use a soft wire brush to clean the plug barrel and a cloth buffing wheel for threads. The electrode
end of the igniter plug should never be cleaned. Any carbon on the tip aids operation of the plug.
CAUTION
Never sandblast or use a liquid suspended abrasive for cleaning

igniter plug. Any abrasive action removes semi-conductor material
in gap area and adversely affects functioning of the plug.
c. Blow any loose carbon or other loose foreign material from igniter plug with an air blast.
d. Remove cap from cable terminal end and wipe igniter plug with a lint-free cloth dampened in

8A-98. INTER-TURBINE TEMPERATURE SENSING SYSTEM (ITT).
8A-99. GENERAL. The inter-turbine temperature sensing system (T5) is designed to monitor engine
operation temperatures at a point between the two turbines. The system consists of a thermocouple
assembly, trim harness and an instrument panel-mounted indicator. Refer to Table VIIlA-II for appropriate
Pratt and Whitney Maintenance Manual for detailed information.
8A-IOO. RESISTANCE CHECK OF INTER-TURBINE TEMPERATURE SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure

8A-15.) This check may be performed by using a Turbine Temperature Indicating System Test Set (Barfield)
2312G-8. Barfield lnst. Corp .. 4101 N.W. 29th St., Miami, Florida 33142 or equivalent). Read complete
test set instruction manual before attempting to use the unit.
a. Check continuity and loop resistance measured across chrome! and alumel terminals of terminal
block. Acceptable loop resistance is 0.5 to 1.0 ohm with the aircraft harness disconnected from the engine
terminals.
CAUTION
The thermocouples will generate a small potential which will

produce errors in the measured values if this check is made while
the engine is hot.
NOTE
If several probes are broken or damaged internally. the loop

resistance would not necessarily fall outside the allowable
tolerance. However, erroneous temperature indications could
occur because of the resultant unbalance in the harness circuit.
b. Check insulation resistance of harness at terminal block. When measured from either chrome! or
alumel terminal to ground. minimum acceptable resistance is 5000 0hms. (Refer to Figure 8A-16.)
c. Check the resistance of the aircraft harness with the engine harness disconnected, and the red and
yellow wires temporarily bolted together instead of connected to the ITT indicator terminals. The value should
be approximately 7.63 ± .I ohms.
8A-IOI. INTER-TURBINE TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION CHECK. (Refer to 8A-17.)

a. Remove yellow and red wires from the heat probe terminal that go to the ITT gauge.
b. Connect the wires to the Barfield (2312G-8) test set or equivalent, and the Digital Multimeter.
c. Position the Barfield Instrument function switch to Indicate and the Digital Multimeter to DCV
and I position.
d. Check the ITT gauge for each temperature indication by the following:
I. While pressing the test switch and turning the calibration adjustment knob on the Barfield
instrument. obtain the proper mv (millivolts) indicated on the multimeter for the appropriate temperature
given on the chart.
2. Check each temperature indication and tolerance with the appropriate mv (millivolts).
8A-102. TACHOMETER-GENERATORS (PROPELLER AND GAS GENERATOR).
8A-103. GENERAL. The propeller (Np) and gas generator (Ng) tachometer-generators produce an electric
current which is proportional to gas generator and propeller speed. The electric current is monitored by
tachometer indicators mounted in the instrument panel which indicate propeller and gas generator speed.
The gas generator tachometer-generator is mounted on the backside of the accessory gearbox and rotates
counterclockwise. The propeller tachometer-generator is mounted on the right side of the reduction gearbox
case and rotates clockwise.

8A-105. ENGINE CONDITION TREND MONITORING SYSTEM. Contemporary gas turbine engine
maintenance systems frequently include inflight engine performance monitoring, as a means of detecting
mechanical deterioration in engine gas paths. A simple system requiring almost no arithmetic calculation has
been devised for PT6 Engines to aid in planning indicated rectifications early, and so reduce primary and
secondary damage costs resulting from fully developed failures, and risks of inflight shutdowns and flight
cancellations.
The Engine Condition Trend Monitoring System has been set up by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada
Limited in order to maintain efficient engine performance. This is not a mandatory procedure, but is highly
recommended by Pratt and Whitney and Piper Aircraft Corporation. Copies of the procedure can be obtained
from Pratt and Whitney. Refer to the latest revision of Pratt and Whitney Information Letter# 15, Aircraft Gas
Turbine Operation, for more information.

SECTION IX
FUEL SYSTEM
9-1. INTRODUCTION. This section contains instructions for repairing difficulties which may arise in the
operation of the fuel system and its related parts. The instructions are organized so the mechanic can refer to:
Description and Principle of Operation, for a basic understanding of the system; Corrective Maintenance,
for the removal, repair and installation of the various components; and a Troubleshooting Chart to facilitate
the location and repair of the different components of the fuel system.
9-2. DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. Both the left and right fuel systems are in-
dependent of each other and are connected only by a crossfeed system. Fuel is supplied to the engine by one of
two submerged fuel pumps located in the inboard main tank. One of these boost pumps must be operating
any time the engine is in operation so the fuel under pressure is supplied to the engine driven fuel pump. Vents
for the system are NACA anti-icing, non-siphoning type which incorporate flame arrestors.
The fuel system should be serviced by first filling through the nacelle tank. When this tank is full, the
complete system with exception of the tip tank (if installed) will be full. Final filling must be done through the
tip tank (if installed).
Only one fuel shutoff valve per wing is used. This valve is operated by a push-pull control on the fuel
control panel in the cockpit. The valve is used as an ON-OFF valve for the fuel system. The only other valve
in the system is the crossfeed which is also mechanically operated from the fuel control panel. This valve
should always remain OFF except under single engine operation, when crossfeed to the operating engine is
desired.
Fuel tank drains are provided at the low point of each tank, and a main fuel filter is located forward of
each engine fire wall. The filter is provided with a drain which is accessible thtough a door in the engine
cowling.
The aircraft is equipped with capacitance probe fuel quantity indicating system with four probes located
in each wing. All fuel cells in each wing are interconnected.
9-3. TROUBLESHOOTING. Troubles peculiar to the fuel system are listed in Table IX-V at the back of this
section along with their probable causes and suggested remedies. When troubleshooting, check from the fuel
supply to the items affected. If no trouble is found by this method, the trouble exists inside individual pieces
of equipment. They should be removed from the aircraft and overhauled or replaced with identical units
tested and known to be good. Troubleshooting the fuel quantity indicator may be found in Section X,
Instruments. The electrical system diagram for the system may be found in Section XV, Electrical System.

9-8. CLEANING, INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF FUEL CELLS.

a. Fuel cells may be cleaned by the following procedure:
1. New Cells: It should not be necessary to clean new cells upon removing them from their
containers, if they are installed in the airframe cavities promptly. If for any reason the cells are not installed
immediately, and become dirty, they should be cleaned with soap and warm water to remove foreign
material prior to installation in a clean cavity.
2. Used Cells: Prior to removal, the cells are to be drained of fuel, purged with fresh air and
swabbed out to remove all traces of fuel. Following removal, the cells are to be cleaned inside and out with
soap and warm water.
WARNING
Use a vapor-proof lililit for inspection.
b. Fuel cells may be inspected by the following procedure:

1. New Cells: Inspect the cell surface inside and outside for cuts, abraded (scuffed) areas and
accessory damage. Also, inspect the fitting seals for nicks, scratches and foreign material.
2. Used Cells: Cells removed from the airframe cavity for inspection and repair, or cells being
returned to service, should be inspected for cuts, abraded (scuffed) areas and accessory damage on the
inside and outside of the cell surface. Reach through the fuel cell access plate and take a section of cell
between the thumb and forefinger. Wipe the ridge created by this action with a cloth wet with
Methylethylketone. If fine cracks are evident, the fuel cell is not repairable and must be replaced.
3" Baffled Fuel Cells: Inspect every 2 years or after 500 hours in service which ever comes first,
conduct the following inspection:
(a) Defuel both main cells. (Refer to Section II.)
(b) Remove the access plates located inboard of the nacelle. Remove both wing and fuel
cell access plates.
(c) Inspect fuel cell fittings for deterioration of the rubber used, using the fingernail to
attempt to scrape the rubber off the metal or nipple fitting. If the rubber has not
deteriorated the fingernail will glide across the rubber. If a degraded condition exists
the fingernail will dig into the rubber. Usually the deteriorated rubber will have
changed from a light yellowish tan to a dark reddish brown color.

(d) Check the tension and knots of the two nylon support cords.
(e) Inspect the interior of the cell for security of baffle and the free operation of the
llapper valve. Inspect both sides of tlw baflle.
(I) Inspect the exterior of the cells to insure the Velcro tape has not parted from the cell
surface or liner surfaces.
(g) Install all access plates on fuel cells and wings. Fill cells and check for leaks.
c. Due to the length of the fuel cell repair procedures. the infonnation will be found in Paragraph
9- I 6.
4. Fuel Cell Filler Cap: Inspect large o-ring with a lOx magnifying glass for cuts or cracks.
Replace o-ring if any damage is found. If o-ring is sound, adjust cap per steps a thru d.
(a) Unlock and remove cap from adapter plate.
(b) Tighten Yl-28 self locking nut at base of cap Y2 turn (If castle nut is used in lieu of self
locking nut remove chain assembly, adjust nut Y2 turn and replace chain assembly).

bolts or nuts.
b. Round off any sharp edges in the fuel cell compartment.
c. Inspect the fuel cell compartment just prior to fuel cell installation.
d. Tape over all sharp edges and all rough rivets.
NOTE
If replacement fuel cell does not include alternate fuel sender

location opening at station 137.50, it will be necessary to tape
over the bottom of fuel sender support bracket. Use a pressure
sensitive adhesive waterproof type tape.
J-1 0. MOLDED NIPPLE FITTINGS. In order to get the best service from this type fitting. it is necessary
to exercise certain precautions at the time of installation. The specific precautions other than the general
care in handling are as follows:
a. Insert each fuel line into each nipple until the end is flush with the inside edge of the cell.
b. The hose clamp must be clear of the end of the fitting by .25 inch where possible.
c. Locate the hose clamp on the fabric-reinforced area of the nipple.
d. Torque the hose clamps 15 to 20 inch-pounds. Do this once. Do not retighten unless the hose clamp
is loosened completely and allow to set for 15 minutes before retightening.
e. Do not use sealing paste or gasket compound.
f. Apply a thin film of Simonize Wax to metal tubes to facilitate installation and removal.
9-ll. INSTALLATION OF INBOARD AND OUTBOARD FUEL CELL. (Refer to Figures 9-4 and 9-5.)
a. Inspect the cell compartment (See Paragraph 9-9 .)
b. Should the cell be in its shipping container, do not remove it until ready for installation.
c. Check to be sure the cell is warm enough to flex. Do not use sharp tools such as screwdrivers,
files. etc., for installation purposes.
d. Place tape or another protective material over the edges of the elongated access opening to
prevent damage to the cell.
e. Roll the cell into the shape and size which can be inserted through the access opening of the cell.
f. After fitting the cell into the wing, unroll the cell and establish correct relationship of the cell to
the compartment.
g. From each end of the cell compartment, feed the cord through the cell hangers and rib bushings
until the cords can be joined at the access openings. Do not tie cord yet. The cords are routed as shown in
Figures 9-4 and 9-5.
NOTE
The nylon cord used to hold the fuel cells is .125 diameter, with a
minimum breaking strength of 550 pounds and conforming to
MIL-T-5040C T~pe III specifications. Obtain through Goodyear.
h. Connect the fuel drain plate by inserting the threaded end of a bolt or rod (not under three
inches long) up through the plate and nipple fitting of the fuel cell. (Refer to Figure 9-6.) Reach through
the fuel cell opening and install a 2 or 2-1/2 inch diameter washer on the bolt or rod and secure with a nut.
Pull the nipple down through the opening in the wing panel enough to clamp the nipple fitting to the plate.
i. Remove the bolt or rod; secure the plate to the wing panel and install the drain valve.

9-12. HANDLING AND STORAGE OF FUEL CELLS.

a. Prevent needless damage by exercising common sense in all handling of the cells. Folding or
collapsing of cells is necessary to place them in containers for storage, to install them in airframe cavities and to
carry them from place to place. Protect the fitting seal surface from contact with cavities during removal or
installation. Use protective covers over fitting seal when practical. Protect the cell from tools, hot lights, etc.,
when working around them. Avoid stepping on folds or creases in cells. Do not carry cells by fittings. Maintain
original cell contours or folds when refolding for boxing, rolling to insert in airframe cavities, or handling in
the repair area. The cells to be repaired should be placed on a well-lighted table. Maintain natural contours, if
possible, while repairing. Prevent contact with sharp edges, corners, dirty floors or other surfaces. Repair area
must be well-ventilated. Do not stack cells. Inspect cavities and insure cleanliness prior to installing any cell.
WARNING
Do not permit smoking or open flame near repair area of cells.
b. When storing cells, observe the following rules:

1. Fold cells smoothly and as lightly as possible with a minimum number of folds. Place
protective wadding between folds.
2. Wrap the cell in moisture-proof paper and place it in a suitable container. Do not crowd the
cell in the container; use wadding to prevent movement.
3. Stack boxed cells to allow access to oldest cells first. Do not allow stacks to crush bottom
boxes. Leave cells in boxes until used.
4. Storage area must be dry, 70°F, and free of exposure to sunlight, dirt and damage.
5. Used cells must be cleaned with soap and warm water prior to storage. Dry and box as outlined
above.
9-13. REPAIR OF FUEL CELLS. The following is the repair procedure recommended for field repair of
fuel cells constructed of Goodyear BTC-54A material. There are two methods by which these repairs may be
accomplished. One method is by heat cure; the other is air cure. The end result of either repair is a neat,
permanent repair. The heat repair allows the cell to be cured and ready for reinstallation in two hours; while
the air cure method requires that the cell•not be moved for 72 hours during the air cure period.
NOTE
Air cure repairs are to be made at a room temperature of

approximately 75° F. For each 10° drop in temperature, add 25
percent cure time, for instance, if the room temperature reads 64°,
air cure for 90 hours instead of 72 hours.
9-14. HANDLING OF REPAIR MATERIALS.

a. All materials are to be protected from dirt contamination, sunlight, and excessive heat or cold while
in storage. Containers are to be tightly capped and stored between + 30° F to 85° F temperature.
b. The repair code 80C27 referred to in this text is prepared immediately prior to use by mixing repair
cement 80C27 (pint can with 320gm) with cross-linker 80C28 (2 oz. bottle with 8lcc).
CAUTION
80C27 repair cement requires thorough mixing to obtain full

adhesive values.
c. Repair cement has a pot life of 20 minutes after mixing. The unmixed 80C27 and 80C28 have a shelf
life of six months from the date of packaging.

9-17. REPAIR PATCH (HEAT CURE METHOD).

a. Prepare the exterior cell wall and exterior patch first. Cut a repair patch from FT-192 material to
the size required to insure a proper lap over the injury in all directions. (See Limitations.) (Hold shears at an
angle to produce a beveled edge (feather) on the patch.) Round comers of patch. (Dull side or gum contact
face of repair patch should be the largest surface after beveling.)
b. Wash one square foot of cell wall surrounding the injury, and the repair patch contact side with a
clean cloth soaked with Methylethylketone solvent.
c. Abrade cell wall surface about the injury and on the contact side of patch with fine emery cloth
to remove the shine.
d. Repeat Methylethylketone washings two more times, for a total of three washings for each
surface.
e. Tape a 8" x 8" piece of cellophane inside the cell over the injury.
f. When all the above preparatory work has been done and the cell has been positioned for patch
application on the repair table, mix the 80C27 cement (320 gms) with the cross-linker 80C28 (8lcc). and
stir mixture thoroughly, for five minutes.
NOTE
Cement must be at a minimum of 70°F before mixing. Keep away

from water and excessive heat.
g. Brush one even coat of mixed repair cement on the cell wall around the injury and on the contact
side of the repair patch. Allow to dry for fifteen minutes.
h. Repeat a second mixing of repair cement and brush a second coat.
CAUTION
Do not use the first can of mixed cement for this coat.
i. Allow cement to dry approximately five minutes, and then center patch over injury. Lay the
repair patch by rolling it down on surface from center to edge without trapping air. Hold the unrolled
portion of the repair patch off the cemented surface until roller contact insures an air-free union. At this
time, the repair patch may be moved by hand on the wet surface to improve lap. Do not lift the repair
patch, slide it.
CAUTION
Make sure the cellophane inside cell over the injury remains in
place, as any cement will stick cell walls together without it as a
separator.
j. Cover one smooth surface each of two aluminum plates (plates must be larger than patch), with
fabric-backed airfoam, fabric side out. Tape airfoam in place. Foam must cover edges of the plate for
protection. Use a cellophane separator to prevent the cement from sticking in the wrong place.
k. Fold the cell adjacent to the patch and place prepared plates one over repair patch and one on
opposite side.
I. Center a repair iron 2Fl-3-25721-l on the plate over the repair patch. Secure the assembly with a
"C" clamp. Tighten by hand. Check cement flow to determine pressure.
3D24
CAUTION
Make sure that the cell fold is not clamped between plates. This
would cause a hard pennanent crease. Also make sure that the
patch does not move when clamp is tightened.
m. Connect the repair iron into 110-volt current and cure the repair for two hours. After two hours
cure, unplug repair iron and allow it to cool to touch. Then remove the "C' clamp. Wet the cellophane to
remove it from the repair.
n. The inside patch is applied the same as the above procedure except for size of the repair patch (see
Limitations), after the outside patch has been cured.
CAUTION
Success of applying both an outside and inside repair patch

simultaneously is doubtful and not recommended.
9-18. REPAIR PATCH (AIR CURE METHOD). Follow the procedure for the heat cure method, except
omit repair iron, and cure each patch per air limitations (minimum 72 hours), undisturbed at 75° F.
9-19. METAL FITTING- SEALING SURFACES.

a. Rub off roughness of the affected area with a fine file or fine emery cloth. Treat the reworked
area.
b. Clean metal surface using a clean cloth dipped in Methylethylketone. Moisten the cleaned surface
with clean cloth dipped in water. Apply alodine 1200 solution, undiluted, to the affected area with a small
nylon brush. Allow the solution to dry until a light golden color appears. When a coating has been fonned,
remove the excess solution by wiping with a clean water moistened cloth. Allow coating to dry.
WARNING
Do not allow solution to come in contact with hands, eyes or

clothing.
9-20. ACCESSORY REPLACEMENT.

a. Obtain a cured repair accessory from the cell manufacturer.
b. Mark location of old accessory and preserve markings for guide lines to locate the new part.
c. Remove the old accessory by gradually loosening an edge wit.ti a blunt probe-like instrument.
d. When a loose edge is created, grasp the accessory by the loose edge with pliers and gently peel the
accessory off the cell wall. Be careful not to pull the cell lap open while peeling accessory off. Pull from the
blind side of a cell lap toward the exposed edge.
e. Buff the cell surface under the accessory with emery cloth to smooth roughness and prepare for
cement.
NOTE
Removal of the old accessory will probably leave an uneven cavity

and surface.
f. Prepare the replacement accessory by buffing and washing the contact surface. Also wash the cell
surface (see repair patch).
3El
g. Apply mixed 80C27 repair cement to both surfaces being sure to level the cavity left by the
removal of the old accessory.
h. Roll the new accessory into place as with a repair patch and place suitable padded plates in
position to insure adequate pressure when clamped. Use a cellophane separator to prevent the cement from
sticking in the wrong place.
i. Cure with either cure method.
9-21. DEFECT REPAIRS OF FUEL CELL.

a. Blisters: Remove loose material by trimming. Apply an outside and inside repair patch.
b. Holes, Punctures, Cuts, Tears and Deep Abraded Areas: Trim away any ragged material and
apply an outside and inside repair patch.
c. Loose Seams: Buff loose edges and contact surfaces with emery cloth. Wash three times with
Methylethylketone. Apply 80C27 mixed cement in two coats as with a repair patch. Clamp and cure. Either
method may be used. (See repair patch.) Loose seams may be trimmed if a minimum lap remains.
d. Loose Fitting Flange - Inside: Buff the edge of the flange and the contact surface under the
flange. Apply 80C27 mixed repair cement, cellophane, padded plates and clamp. Follow procedure as
outlined for repair patch.
e. Looseness Against Metal: Prepare metal as per metal fitting - sealing surfaces. Apply 80C27
mixed cement and cure.
9-22. TESTING FUEL CELLS. Either of the following procedures may be used to detect leaks in the
bladder cells:
a. Soap Suds Test:
1. Attach test plates to all fittings.
2. Inflate the cell with air to a pressure of 1/4 psi MAXIMUM.
3. Apply a soap and water solution to all repaired areas suspected of leakage. Bubbles will
appear at any point where leakage occurs.
4. After testing, remove all plates and wipe soap residue from the exterior of the cell.
b. Chemical Test:
1. Attach test plates to all fitting openings except one.
2. Make up a Phenolphthalein solution as follows: Add 40 grams Phenolphthalein crystals in
1/2 gallon of Ethyl Alcohol, mix; then add 1/2 gallon of water.
3. Pour ammonia on an absorbent cloth in the ratio of 3 ml per cubic foot of cell capacity.
Place a saturated cloth inside the cell and install the remaining test plate.
4. Inflate the cell with air to a pressure of 1/4 psi maximum, cap and maintain pressure for
fifteen minutes.
5. Soak a large white cloth in the phenolphthalein solution, wring it out thoroughly, and
spread it. smoothly on the outer surface of the cell. Press the cloth down to insure detection of minute
leaks.
6. Check the cloth for red spots which will indicate a leak. Mark any leaks found and move the
cloth to a new location. Repeat this procedure until the entire exterior surface of the cell has been covered.
If red spots appear on the cloth, they may be removed by resoaking the cloth in the solution.
7. The solution and test cloth are satisfactory only as long as they remain clean. Indicator
solution that is not in immediate use should be stored in a closed rust proof container to prevent
evaporation and deterioration.
After the test, remove all plates and test equipment. Allow the cell to air out.
In conducting either test outlined above, the cell need not be confmed by a cage or jig, providing the
1/4 psi pressure is not exceeded.
NOTE
The chemical test is the more sensitive and preferred test.

aircraft down time to make the repair.
LIST OF MATERIALS
Sealant Material- PR-1435

(Products Research and Chemical Corp.)
I
PRC Coating and Sealants Division
5426-T San Fernando Rd.
Glendale, CA 91203 (213) 240-2060
Solvent- Methylethylketone (M.E.K.)
Alodine Solution 1200
Small nylon brush
Clean white gauze pads (4 inch squares)
Fillet fairing tools (Refer to Section IV)
PR-1435 is a two-part polysulfide sealant which when mixed has a short application life ( 15 minutes at
70°F and 50% relative humidity); for ev_ery I0°F in temperature the time is reduced by half. and for
every 10° F drop in temperature the time is doubled. High humidity at time of mixing also shortens the
application life.
This sealant will cure to an acceptable hardness in approximately 24 hours at 75° F and 509( relative
humidity. Cure may be hastened by applying heat up to 130° F.
NOTE
Nacelle fuel tanks may be filled with fuel one hour after
application of the sealant. The cure does not depend t~pon
exposure to air or elevated temperatures, and therefore, will take
place even under fuel, without affecting the sealing efficiency.
a. In areas where the original sealant has been scratched, gouged or otherwise damaged, remove the
damaged section of fillet with a sharp plexiglas scraper. Taper all cuts in the old sealant at a 45° angle.
b. The original sealant in the fuel tank will be fuel soaked and should be dried in the area of any
repair. Use a vapor-proof heat lamp or hot air blower.
c. Thoroughly clean all areas to be repaired with solvent such as Methylethylketone ( M. E. K.). A
progressive cleaning procedure should be used. Wash one small area at a time: then dry with. a clean cloth
before the solvent evaporates, to prevent redeposition of the oil, fuel, etc., on the surface. Always pour
solvent on the washing cloth to maintain a clean solvent supply. Reclaimed solvents should not be used.
d. Check the damaged area for any other repairs which may have to be made before applying the
new sealant. Re-alodine any aluminum surfaces which have the original coating removed. Apply
aldoine 1200 solution (undiluted) to the affected area with a small nylon brush. Allow the solution to dry
until a light golden color appears. When a coating has been formed, remove the excess solution by wiping
with a clean water moistened cloth and wipe dry.

3E9
WARNING
Do not allow alodine solution to come in contact with hands, eyes

or clothing.
e. Just prior to application ofPR-1435 sealant the affected area must be recleaned with M.E.K., per
instruction given in Step c.
f. Mix the two-part sealant per instruction supplied with it. Proper mixing and correct proportions
are extremely important if optimum results are to be obtained.
g. Apply the sealant .125 to .187 of an inch thick to the repair area with a paddle shape tool.
Firmly press sealant in place and form into the desired shape. Lap new sealant over old existing sealant .125
to .25 of an inch.
WARNING
This sealant contains flammable and volatile solvents. Keep it

away from heat, sparks and flame. Proper precautions must be
used when applying this sealant.
Avoid all contact of this sealant with your body, especially

contact with open breaks in the skin. Polyethylene mitts should be
used and hands washed before eating or smoking.
9-40. NACELLE AND TIP TANK ACCESS PLATE RESEALING. The sealant material to be used for
sealing the access plates should be PR-1321 B manufactured by: .
Products Research and Chemical Corp.
PRC Coating and Sealants Division
5426-T San Fernando Rd.
Glendale, CA 91203 (213) 240-2060
Proceed as follows:
a. Clean all mating surfaces in accordance with paragraph 9-40 step c.
b. Apply a film of sealant I I 32" to I I 16" thick to the surface to be sealed.
c. Install part immediately. Tighten screws to obtain as nearly as possible, a metal-to-metal contact.
This squeezes out excess sealant, leaving only enough to fill remaining gaps.
NOTE
After sealing and securing access panels, the nacelle and 1or tip tank
can be filled with fuel 45 minutes after application of the sealant.

9-41. FUEL GAUGING SYSTEM.
9-42. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. This is a capacitance type gauging system
which senses changes in fuel sensor total capacitance. As fuel rises inside each sensor, it increases the sensor's
measurable capacitance, depending on the weight of fuel inside the sensor. (It takes a slightly higher level of
warmer or less dense fuel to produce the given sensor capacitance increase.) The senspr capacitance
approximately doubles, when it is completely immersed in fuel. The fuel quantity indicator measures the total
sensor capacitance increase and indicates how many pounds of fuel were required to produce that much
capacitance increase.
The indicator contains a square wave generator which puts out voltage pulses on the "LO Z" wires. The
indicator also has two square wave receivers, connected to the LEFT and RIGHT "HI Z" wires. These
receivers drive the fuel quantity pointers higher, when higher square wave voltages comes back from the tank
sensor units because of an increase in sensor capacitance coupling from "LO Z" to a "HI Z" wire.
The electrical power for the entire system is supplied from the 28-volt 1dc aircraft power supply. (Refer to
Section XV for electrical schematics of the fuel gauging system.)
9-43. REMOVALANDINSTAllATION OF SENSOR UNITS.

9-44. REPAIRS.
9-45. FUEL QUANTITY INDICATOR. Periodic overhaul of the indicator is not recommended.

3E13
9-4 6. TANK SENSOR UNITS (ALL). Periodic overhaul of all tank units is not recommended.
9-4 7. CLEANING OF TANK UNITS. All the tank sensor units used in this system can be cleaned with
trichloroethylene or any similar degreasing agent. This may restore units found unserviceable due to high
electrical leakage (under 10 megohms).
WARNING
Trichloroethylene or other type dry cleaning solvents may produce

toxic effects. Use in well ventilated area. Repeated contact of these
solvents with the skin can produce skin irritation. The use of
rubber gloves is recommended.
CAUTION
Handle sensor units carefully as any damage to the tubes will

destroy the accuracy of the unit.
After cleaning the sensor units allow them to air dry. Then check electrical leakage and capacitance.
9-48. TESTING.
WARNING
Use of a hand cranked "megger" or some other kinds of test

equipment CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION, if used on TANK UNITS OR
lHBR WIRING HARNESS, when in the presence of fuel or
combust:i ble vapors (installed). The special equipment listed in
TABLE IX-I is sold (complete with operation manuals) to be used for
proper calibration of the fuel quantity indication system
components.
The test equipment listed in Table IX-I can be conveniently inserted between an installed FUEL
QUANTllY INDICATOR and its installed aircraft harness. This allows a quick electrical leakage test of the
TANK SENSOR UNITS and their harness, or functional and calibration testing of the FUEL QUANTilY
INDICATOR. TheTableiX-1 test equipment can also be used to perform a capacitance calibration test of an
individual tank sensor unit mounted in an empty tank. Refer toTableiX-11 for Indicator Calibration and Table
IX-III for Tank Sensor Unit Calibration capacitance values. See Figure 9- 14 Test Equipment Hookup.

9-49. TANK SENSOR UNITS. These can be most accurately tested for correct capacitance (calibration)
when installed in a metal container grounded to both the sensor mounting flange and the test harness
shield ground. See Figure 9- I 3A. Less accurate readings come from a unit standing or lying on a bench,
where nearby metals or insulators other than free air come closetothe sensor ends. Figures 9-15 and 9-16
shows the appropriate harness for bench testing tank sensor units with any accurate capacitance bridge.
See capacitance values on Table IX-lli. Test harness ends may be chosen from the list of aircraft Harness
Connectors, following figure 9- 16.
9-50. FUEL QUANTITY INDICATOR. When testing one side of a fuel quantity indicator, the meter for the
opposite side should be activated to approximately mid-scale, with a fiXed capacitor of about I 00 pF. Use
an accurate capacitance test set (see Table IX-I) to determine that both sides of the Fuel Quantity! ndicator
read within the limits shown in Table IX-II.
CAUTION
Keep de instruments or other apparatus containing magnets at least two feet away
from the indicator under test, during all testing procedures.
a. Ohmmeter Test: Using a YOM set at R x l, check for jumper continuity between connector pins D
toE, and grounding between Pins A, C, G, and case of indicator under test. Resistance must not measure more
than 0.2 ohms.
·b. Test Setup:
I. Adjust the regulated de power supply for +28 ± 0.5 volts and shut off power.
2. Connect indicator under test to test set and harness as shown on Figure 9-15, View A.
c. Line Current Test:
I. Readjust power supply to +28 volts de ::!:0.5 volts as necessary in the remaining tests.
2. The indicator should draw between 66 and 86 milliampers.
d. Scale Error Test:
NOTE
The indicator being tested should be tapped lightly (3 times per

minute) before a test point reading is taken.
l. Connect the test equipment as shown in View A ofFigure 9- 16. See Figure 9- I 7 for location
of indicator (EMP1Y and FULL) calibration screws. Any calibration screw should have sufficient range to
compensate for ± 5 pf different capacitance at zero or 1200 pounds. Slowly vary thecapacitance tester for
left tank simulation to obtain pointer readings shown in Table IX-II, in the down scale direction only.
Readings obtained must fall within the tolerance specified in Table IX-II. Connect the test equipment as
shown in View B of Figure 9- 16 and repeat test for the right tank simulation.
e. Position Error Test:

I. With the indicator bei~g tested in the normal upright position, obtain down scale reading for
both 'left and right tank simulation on the capacitance tester. When the dial on the indicator reads 700 pounds,
note these readings.
2. Rotate the indicator 90 degrees clockwise and repeat Step l above; agam note readings

9-51. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS OF FUEL QUANTITY GAUGE. (Refer to Figure 9-16a.)
a. Completely drain the fuel system. (Refer to Draining Fuel Cells, Section II.)
b. Level the airplane longitudinally and laterally. (Refer to Leveling, Section II.)
c. Determine that the crossfeed and firewall shutoff valves are closed.
d. Add unusable fuel to the tank. (4 gal. per side. See Table 11-I.)
NOTE
The electrical system must supply power to the gauge to make these
checks. The gauge must read zero with unusable fuel in the tank, and
below zero, when turned off.
e. With the master switch ON, observe the fuel quantity gauges, both should read zero. If not, adjust the
particular gauge to read zero by turning the proper set screw, located on the rear of the gauge, marked
"Empty - Right and Left" to obtain the zero reading.
f. Add fuel to each wing in increments as indicated in Table IX-II. Fuel quantity gauge indication must
be within± 50 pounds.
CAUTION
I. Adjust the quantity gauge, if required, at zero fuel and full fuel
only; do not make adjustments anywhere in the mid-range.
2. It is extremely important that the weight of the fuel be accurate,
before readjusting the quantity gauge. A particular batch of Jet
A that weighs 1200# per 180 U.S. gallons at +70°F will probably
take 183 U.S. gallons of +100°F fuel to weigh 1200 pounds.
3. If greater than 50 pound adjustment is made to the FULL
setting, in step j., it is important that the EMPTY setting be
reverified, according to steps d. and e.

portion of the nacelle fuel tank down through the wing, out to the wing tip or tip tank. A float valve is installed
on the end of the vent line in the n"acelle tank to prevent fuel from escaping through the vent system. There are
two N ACA anti-icing type vent assemblies installed along the vent line, these are non-siphoning type which
incorporate flame arrestors. The tip tank (if installed) has a vent well assembly which has a float valve, tip
relief tube and the main vent line connected to it. This vent well is sealed from the fuel storage area in the tip
tank, except for the float valve and relief tube which extends to the forward top portion of the tank. The float
valve installed in the tip tank vent well prevents fuel from escaping through the vent line. The relief tube
allows the fuel system to vent during climb attitude with full fuel aboard, and may allow fuel to escape when
the tanks are full and fuel expansion takes place due to heat, such as the aircraft being parked on the ramp and
being exposed to high ramp temperatures.

INSTRUMENTS
10-1. INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this section is to provide instructions for remedying difficulties
which may arise in the operation of the various electrical and non-electrical instrumentation. The
instructions are organized so that the mechanic can refer to Description, for a basic understanding of the
instruments; Troubleshooting, for a methodical approach in locating the difficulty; and Removal and
Replacement to aid the mechanic. Maintenance, other than described in this section, shall be done by the
instrument manufacturer or an authorized repair station.
10-2. DESCRIPTION. The instrumentation of the Cheyenne is designed to give an actual indication of the
attitude, performance and condition of the aircraft. The instruments are divided into two groups, electrical
and non-electrical. Electrically operated instruments are protected with circuit breakers to isolate the
individual instruments in the event of trouble. Indicator and warning lights are installed to provide the pilot
with information regarding safe operation of the various systems.
10-3. INSTRUMENT PANEL. The instrument panel is arranged to accommodate flight instruments on the
left side, in front of the pilot; engine instruments and electronic equipment in the center. A second set of
flight instruments may be installed in the right panel for use by the copilot. The flight instrument panels are
shock-mounted to minimize vibration and shock transmitted to the instruments.
10-4. INSTRUMENTS.
10-5. REMOVAL OF INSTRUMENTS. The majority of instruments are mounted in·a similar manner;
therefore, a typical removal and installation is provided as a guide for the removal and installation of the
instruments. Special care should be taken when any operation pertaining to the instruments is performed.
a. The non-shock-mounted instruments may be removed by the following procedure:
1. At the back of the panel, unscrew the electrical connector from the post light(s).
2. Disconnect the plumbing and/or electrical connector from the back of the instrument.
Where two or more lines connect to an instrument, identify each line to facilitate reinstallation. Attach a
dust cap or plug to each fitting.

10-7. PITOT AND STATIC SYSTEM.
10-8. DESCRIPTION. The pi tot system transfers ram air from the electrically heated pitot tube located on
the underside of the fuselage through tubing to the airspeed indicator.
The purpose of the static system is to vent the flight instruments, pneumatic pressure gauge, cabin
differential pressure gauge, and the fuel and oil pressure gauge to ambient atmospheric pressure. The static
system consists of two static vents located in the· aft fuselage section, an alternate static air source located
in the forward fuselage, controlled by a selector valve located in the cockpit, all in.terconnected by tubing.
10-9. MAINTENANCE. Maintenance of the pitot-static system is necessary to insure the proper operation
of the instruments connected to the system. If the aircraft has dual pitot-static systems, both must be
tested and inspected. These tests and inspections must be conducted every 24 calender months and comply
with FAR's Part 91, Section 91.170 and Appendix E of Part 43. Advisory Circular AC 43-203A describes
an acceptable means of complying with static system test required by FAR's Part 91, Section 91.170.
CAUTION
Never blow air through the pitot or static lines towards the
instruments.
NOTE
When any connections in the system are opened for checks, the
system must be rechecked per AC 43.13-lA, Chapter 16, Section
4.
10-10. TROUBLESHOOTING. (Refer to Table X-I.)
10-1 L INSPECTION AND CHECKS .OF INSTRUMENTS AND SYSTEM. During the regular inspection
of the airplane or whenever an instrument or instruments is changed or serviced, the following inspection
and checks should be made to the complete system:
a. Inspect the pitot-static system for cleanliness, condition, security and operation per Advisory
Circular No. AC 43-203A for aircraft operated in controlled airspace under IFR conditions. Aircraft not
operated in controlled airspace should be tested per Advisory Circular AC 43.13-lA, Section 4 of Chapter
16.
b. Inspect the instruments for poor condition, mounting, markings, broken or loose and/or missing
knobs, bent or missing pointers, and improper operation (where applicable).
c. Check power-off indications of instrument pointers and warning flags for proper indication.
d. Apply power and check for excessive mechanical noise, erratic or intermittent operation, failure
to indicate, sluggishness or indication of excessive friction. Note if the erection or warm-up time is
excessive, caging functions are normal, and warning flags and indicating lights and test circuits are operable.
e. Note operation of instruments during engine runup. Check for intermittent or improper
operation of any instrument.
f. Inspect the complete system for general condition, apparent and obvious defects, insecurity of
attachments, tubing connections and pneumatic tubing for security, leaks, corrosion, cracks, bends and
pinching and any evidence of chafing.
g. Check electrical connections and circuit breakers for proper size, security and condition. Check
instrument lighting system for range of illumination, burned out bulbs and defective controls. Check wiring
for chafing, excessive tension, improper support or broken lacing and ties.
h. Check instruments for evidence of overheating or contamination of equipment by foreign matter
or water. Dust, dirt and lint contribute to overheating of equipment, poor ventilation and malfunctioning.
Special attention should be given that ventilation openings in equipment housings are open and free from
obstructing lint and dust.

10-12. INSTRUMENTS (NON-ELECTRICAL) ..
10-13. AIRSPEED INDICATOR.
10-14. GENERAL The airspeed indicator provides a means of indicating the speed of the aircraft passing
through the air. The airspeed indication depends on the differential pressure between pitot air pressure and
static air pressure. This instrument has the diaphragm vented to the pitot air source, and the case is vented
to the static air system. As the airplane increases speed, the pitot air pressure increases, causing the
diaphragm to expand. A mechanical linkage picks up this motion and moves the instrument pointer to the
indicated speed. A second pointer on the instrument indicates the maximum allowable airspeed with
respect to altitude. The instrument is calibrated in miles per hour and also has the necessary operating range
markings for safe operation of the airplane.
10-15. TROUBLESHOOTING. (Refer to Table X-II.)
10-16. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. (Refer to Paragraphs 10-5 and 10-6.)
10-17. SENSITIVE ALTIMETER.
10-18. GENERAL. The altimeter indicates pressure altitude in feet above sea level. The indicator has three
pointers and a dial scale; the long pointer is read in hundreds offeet, the middle pointer in thousands of feet
and the short pointer in tens of thousands of feet. A barometric pressure window is located on the right side
of the indicator dial and is set by the knob located on the lower left corner of the instrument. The altimeter
consists of a sealed diaphragm that is connected to the pointers through a mechanical linkage. The instrument
case is vented to the static air system and as static air pressure decreases, the diaphragm expands, causing the
pointers to move through the mechanical linkage. The altimeters must be tested and inspected every 24
calendar months and comply with FAR's Part 91, Section 91. I70 and Appendix E of Part 43.
10-19. TROUBLESHOOTING. (Refer to Table X-III.)
10-21. RATE OF CLIMB INDICATOR.
10-22. GENERAL The rate of climb indicator measures the rate of change in static pressure, and indicates
the rate of ascent or descent of the aircraft in feet per minute.
10-23. TROUBLESHOOTING. (Refer to Table X-IV.)
10-25. MAGNETIC COMPASS.
10-26. GENERAL The magnetic compass is a self-contained instrument mounted overhead in line with
the windshield centerstrip. The instrument has an individual light which is connected to the instrument
lighting circuit.

10-50. ATTITUDE GYRO.
10-51. GENERAL. The attitude gyro is an electrically driven gyroscope rotating in a horizontal plane. Due
to the gyroscopic inertia, the spin axis continues to point in the vertical direction, providing a constant visual
reference to the attitude of the aircraft relative to pitch and roll axis. A bar across the face of the indicator
represents the horizon, and aligning the miniature aircraft to the horizon bar simulates the alignment of the
aircraft to the actual ~orizon. Any deviation simulates the deviation of the aircraft from the true horizon. The
gyro horizon is marked for different degrees of bank.

10-54. DIRECTIONAL GYRO.
10-55. GENERAL. The directional gyro is a flight instrument incorporating an electrically driven gyro
stabilized in the vertical plane. Due to gyroscopic inertia, the spin axis continues to point in the same
direction even though the aircraft yaws to the right or left.
10-56. TROUBLESHOOTING. (Refer to Table X-X.)
10-58. TURN AND BANK INDICATOR.
10-59. GENERAL. The turn and bank indicator is a self-contained gyroscopic flight instrument used to
indicate the attitude of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axis. The turn portion of the indicator mounted
in the pilot's instrument panel utilizes a vacuum driven gyroscope, while the turn portion of the copilot's
instrument indicator is electrically driven. The vacuum turn and bank 'indicator is powered by vacuum
produced at the pressurization system ejector using unregulated engine bleed air. The amount of vacuum
produced is a function of engine power level~ therefore, a vacuum regulator controls gyro vacuum to 2.1
inches of mercury.
The bank portion of the indicator is a ball sealed in a curved glass tube filled with damping fluid. In an
improperly coordinated turn, the ball is forced from the center of the tube indicating attitude error.

10-61. ADJUSTMENT OF TURN AND BANK VACUUM REGULATOR.

a. Remove the center fuselage floor panel at station reference number 151.3. The regulator is mounted
on the bulkhead assembly at station 151.3 under· the floor panel.
b. Remove the one-quarter inch flare tube cap from the test port fitting in the instrument line behind
the left side of the instrument panel.
c. Connect a vacuum test gauge to the test port. The test gauge must be capable of indicating at least
4 inches of Hg. with graduations of 0.1 inches Hg.
d. Activate the cabin pressurization test switch to remove vacuum from the isobaric valve while
adjusting the vacuum regulator. ·
e. Place the pressure control lever in the outside air position to prevent any pressurization of the
cabin that would effect the test gauge reading. Adjust the regulator using either of the following methods:
f. ENGINE OPERATING METHOD:
l. Start the engines and allow to stabilize.
2. Set the power levers to obtain 80% (N g) gas generator speed.
3. Disengage the locking tabs from the adjusting pin and adjust the regulator to obtain 2.1
inches Hg. at 80% N g speed. Clockwise adjustment increases vacuum.
NOTE
One turn of the adjusting pin will change the vacuum reading about
0.35 inches Hg. and the gyro rate about 12 seconds.
g. SHOP AIR METHOD:

I. The regulator may be adjusted with the engines static by supplying sufficient shop air at 60 to
80 psi to the engine bleed line.
2. Disconnect the flexible hose connecting the engine bleed line in either· nacelle at the forward
end of the hose. ·
3. Fabricate an adapter to connect the flexible hose to the source of shop air through a control
valve and pressure gauge. If insufficient air results in a pressure less than 60 psi, do not use this method to set
the vacuum regulator.
4. Adjust the regulator to obtain 2.1 inches Hg. Clockwise adjustment increases vacuum.
10-62. CHECKING PNEUMATIC CHECK VALVE.

a. Remove center floorboard just aft of main spar.
b. Locate the hose connecting the regulator to the ejector. Loosen the base clamp that attaches at the
inboard side of the right-hand longitudinal beam.
c. Detach and pull enough of the hose end from under the floor to gain access to its open end.
d. Insure that the existing check valve is installed with the word "HINGE" facing up.
e. Place the hose end against your mouth and blow lightly into the hose. The check valve (on the other
side of the regulator) should prevent any flow (toward instruments) with light pressure. If any leak is detected,
remove the check valve and obtain a new valve of the same part number. Before installation, blow lightly
through the valve to be sure it operates properly.
f. Install the new valve with the word "HINGE" facing up. Recheck the new valve per step g preceding.
g. Reinstall hose, hose clamp and center floorboard.
h. Check operation of the relief valve (7), Figure I 0-4.

Il-l. INTRODUCTION. This section contains information to assist in serv1cmg the electrical power
distribution systems and components. Electrical schematics are found in Chapters 7 and 8.
11-2. DESCRIPTION. The electrical system is 28 V.D.C., negative ground, powered by a nickel cadmium
battery and two 6-kilowatt starter generators. External power provisions satisy ground operational require-
ments.
Typical power distribution system diagrams of each model are provided in Figures: 11-28, 11-29 and
11-30. All are of split-bus design, with individual circuit protection and separate pilot accessible bus-tie circuit
breakers, including diode protection, providing operational flexibility during single engine or single alternator
operation.
Shelf mounted accessory I relay panels centralize these functions for efficient service. All electrical power
distribution switches and circuit breakers are within reach of the pilot within the cockpit environment.
All Lighting is 24 V.D.C. powered, except for high voltage anti-collision strobes and 400 Hertz A.C.
powered electroluminescent (E. L.) panels and placard lighting. The strobe power supplies and E. L. inverter
are sourced from 28 V.D.C. aircraft bus power. For switch and circuit breaker panels refer to Figure Il-l.
ll-2a. CHEYENNE lA AND CHEYENNE II XL LIGHTWEIGHT WIRING (MIL-W-81044/9- ).

This new wiring has a higher temperature resistance, thinner diameter and greater resistance to chafing. The
new wiring also allows the use of heat shrink type covering.
The new wiring may be used in place of the old type, but the older type should not be used to replace the
newer type.

11-3. TROUBLESHOOTING. Troubles peculiar to the electrical system are listed in Table XI-V along with
their probable cause and suggested remedies. The diagrams located at the end of this section will give a
physical breakdown of the different electrical circuits used in the airplane. See Chapter XV for an index to the
Electrical Schematics. "
After the trouble has been corrected, check entire electrical system for security and operation of its

ll-3a. FINDING BAD ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND POOR GROUND BONDING. When an
electrical system (like a starter system) just doesn't perform quite right, even after all the obvious things (like
rebuilding the starter) have been done, consider the wires and connections of just that system. Hard starting or
generators and alternators that won't stay parallel, or other mysterious cases of electrical grief, are often
caused by bad electrical connections. These look good, when checked with a volt/ ohm meter, but show up bad,
when measured in thousandths of an ohm, or milliohms. Therefore, the mechanic needs two things:
I. Equipment to measure resistance in milliohms, within + j -20% accuracy.
2. An ability to judge how many milliohms is too many, to identify trouble.
The average shop already has (or can get) a digital volt meter that will read a 12 volt battery in four
significant figures (like "12.62" volts). The only other thing needed, and not already there, is a set of special
twin strand test leads (40' of Piper P j N !53 419 wire), and a table of wire resistance values. A picture of the test
equipment hook up and a table of resistance values follow. See Figure 24-1 and Chart 2402.
a. How to judge:
I. Each connection will usually measure I milliohm or less (certainly not more than 3 milliohms;
that includes the connection between wire strands and a terminal crimped on to those strands, or between a
connection stud and a terminal fastened on to it with washers and nuts.
2. Measure between aircraft battery minus terminal, and engine case or alternator or starter
ground, and expect about 3 milliohms or less.
3. 3 milliohms is typical for each length of heavy gauge (bigger around than a pencil) starter or
alternator power wire.
4. The whole fuselage will probably measure 3 milliohms or less, from end to end.
5. Don't measure through a small fuse ... the 10 amp test current would blow small fuses. (It is
practical to turn down the test current to 5 amp and then double the measured voltage, to safely measure a 10
amp fuse circuit.)
6. Nearly every normal resistance over 3 milliohms will be due to the resistance of wire, as shown
on the chart. Determine the wire gauge (usually shown on Piper electrical schematics) and estimate the length
of each wire to be measured. Then, use the resistance table to estimate, within 20%, how many milliohms each
wire should measure.
Write down a list of the wires and connections to be measured, followed by how many milliohms are
measured. Look at the whole list to see which measurement looks far (50% or more) above what was estimated
or expected. If the measurement is excessive, there will usually be a loose nut, dirty washer, loose or dirty crimp
where terminal was crimped on a wire, or a set of bad switch contacts. A wire could be frayed in the middle, but
the trouble will usually be at one end of a wire.
Terminals crimped on the ends of heavy aluminum cables may be really good at one end, and really bad, at
the other end. Measure a bad wire from exposed wire strands to the terminal crimped to them. Clean, recrimp,
replace, tighten, and rework suspected connections until you can account for at least 2/3 of all the milliohms
in each measurement. Then if trouble persists, it is elsewhere.

ll-3b. MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRICAL CONTACTS (PINS AND SOCKETS). Inspect and treat tin-
plated (silver or gray in color) connector terminals as follows:
a. Test each socket in the connector for looseness by using a smooth straight standard .062 inch
diameter pin. Keep pin coated with contact lubricant, Piper Part Number 764 657. (Refer to consumable
materials list for vendor.)
b. Insert the test pin fully to the bottom of the socket and push to insure the socket is secure in the
connector body.
c. While removing the test pin from the socket, check for noticeable drag resistance. Replace any loose
or bent socket or bent/ damaged pins. Test the replacement parts as stated in steps "a" thru "c".
d. Terminals should be cleaned, if necessary, using a standard connector cleaning solvent, such as
freon. Insure solvent does not contain silicone. A non-metallic, soft-bristle brush may be used on the terminals.
Do not use sandpaper, abrasives etc. Connectors must be blown absolutely dry prior to installation.
e. After inspection, replacement and I or cleaning, coat all terminals with contact lubricant, Piper PIN
764 657, as follows:
I. Shake can before using and repeat as necessary throughout the application process.
2. Apply a very thin mist coating to all connector contacts (both male and female). To avoid
excessive coating, hold the spray nozzle I 0 to 12 inches from the surfaces to be treated. A single sweep action
across the contacts should be sufficient.
NOTE
To familiarize one's self with this procedure, utilize a piece of paper

for practice, simulating the surfaces to be treated.
3. Wipe clean any overspray on the airframe or connector body. Do not wipe or touch the
contacts after treatment.

11-4. STARTER GENERATOR SYSTEM (LEAR-SIEGLER. INC.).
11-5. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The Starter Generators are located on the aft top side of the
engines. The purpose of this unit is to provide torque for engine starting and to generate DC electrical power.
When the unit is being utilized as a starter, it may be energized by the aircraft battery or through the use of an
external power source.
NOTE
The following information is taken from Lear Siegler. Inc.

Maintenance Manuals. For the most current information, refer to
these manuals. See Section II for address, manual and part number.
CAUTION
The selector switch should not be left in the START position any
longer than the time required for a normal engine start; otherwise.
the unit may be damaged by excessive temperature caused by the
large starting currents.
When the unit is being utilized as a generator. it will provide its rated DC output when operated at its rated
speeds. This generated electrical power is then utilized as required to operate the various electrical systems
of the aircraft.
This unit incorporates its own cooling system which consists of an air inlet duct, a pressure sensitive
check valve in the air inlet duct which regulates direct airflow, and a four bladed fan which is part of the
unit. Cooling is obtained by routing the outside ram air through the air inlet duct which is then driven
through the unit by the four bladed fan.
Each unit is controlled by its own independent three position switch which operates as follows: ON for
START, UP for GEN with the center position being the OFF position. The switches are located on the over
head switch panel. (Refer to appropriate POH.) With the Battery Master Switch ON, placing the Right and/ or
Left Starter-Generator Switch in the START position, closes the appropriate starter solenoid for that
particular engine. Power is then supplied through the master contactor to the field windings of the starter unit
creating a strong magnetic field. (Refer to the schematics.) At the same time, current flows through the brushes
to the commutator and continues through the armature windings to ground. The magnetic field now existing
in the armature combines with that existing in the field windings of the starter unit driving the armature as
required to start the engine.
When the switch is placed in the GEN position, the unit provides rated DC output to the aircraft
electrical system through the voltage control panel and the overvoltage control. Placing the switch in the
center or OFF position disconnects the unit from the electrical system of the aircraft.
11-6. CHECKING STARTER-GENERATOR SYSTEM. The system incorporates two ammeters which
provide an independent output check of each generator and a voltmeter which monitors the electrical bus
voltage. Should either ammeter fail to indicate an output from its associated generator, check the
appropriate circuit breaker. If the circuit breakers are in their normal operating position, a further check of
the system should be accomplished.
a. Ascertain that the ammeters are operating properly.
b. Ascertain that all electrical units are off and battery is fully charged.
c. Disconnect electrical lead at terminal stud C+ on Starter-Generator being tested. (L or R.)
d. Turn on battery master switch and turn selector switch (L or R) for the unit being tested to the
START position.

h. Remove the voltmeter from the airplane.
i. Connect electrical lead previously removed to C+ terminal stud on Starter-Generator.
11-7. ADJUSTMENTS. The only adjustment necessary to maintain the generator system is the adjustment
of the voltage control on the voltage regulator. A voltage of 28.5-volts must be maintained. All other
control adjustments are made at time of installation and need not be reset.
NOTE
Since the Starter-Generator and Regulator units are designed for

use on a single polarity type electrical system, the following listed
precautions must be observed when servicing the charging circuits.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious damage
to the electrical equipment.
a. When installing a battery, always make absolutely sure
the ground polarity of the battery and the ground
polarity of the Starter-Generator are the same.
b. When connecting a booster battery, make certain to
connect the negative battery terminals together and the
positive battery terminals together.
c. When connecting a charger to the battery, connect the
charger positive lead to the battery positive terminal and
the charger .negative lead to the battery negative
terminal.
d. Never operate the Starter-Generator on an open circuit.
Make absolutely certain all connections in the circuit are
secure.
e. Do not short across or ground any of the terminals on
the Starter-Generator or voltage regulator.

a. If inspection reveals that the commutator is rough, pitted, scored or burned, refinish in a lathe
that is accurately set up and adjusted. Remove only enough material to clean and true up the commutator
surface. Replace the armature if it has to be turned to less than a diameter of 2.055 inches. Hold
commutator diameter concentric with the bearing journals within 0.0005 inch Total Indicator Reading.
b. To undercut the mica turn the commutator in a lathe. If the depth of undercut remaining is less
than .032 inch, the mica between the bars should be re-undercut to .032 inch. Use a triangular scraper to
remove all excess mica, sharp edges, and burrs from between the bars. Use a bristle brush to remove metal
chips and mica particles from the slots between the commutator bars. Check tolerances as outlined in Step a.
c. To polish the commutator, mount the armature in a lathe and operate at a speed of 500 to 600
RPM. Polish commutator by using sandpaper (5/0) with an accurately cut block of wood over its entire
length and at least one-third of its perimeter. Remove any dust or particles from between the commutator
bars with a bristle brush.
d. After refinishing the commutator, the armature should be checked for proper balance, which
should be within 5 grain-inches. If balance correction is required, mill the stainless steel retaining bands at
each end of the lamination stack until the proper balance is obtained. Only two .25 inch wide and .031 inch
deep millings are permitted in each band to maintain adequate strength.

11-15. STARTER-GENERATOR SYSTEM. (AUXILEC, INC.)
11-16. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The Starter-Generators are located on the aft top side of the
engines. The purpose of this unit is to provide torque for engine starting and to generate DC electrical power.
When the unit is being utilized as a starter, it may be energized by the aircraft battery or through the use of an
external power source.
NOTE
The following information is taken from Auxilec, Inc. Maintenance

Manual. For the most current information, refer to these manuals.
Refer to Section II for address, manual and part number.
CAUTION
The selector switch should not be left in the START position any
longer than the time required for a normal engine start; otherwise,
the unit may be damaged by excessive temperatures caused by the
large starting currents.
1\-17. CHECKING STARTER-GENERATOR SYSTEM. The system incorporates two ammeters which
provide an independent output check of each generator and a voltmeter which monitors the electrical b.us
voltage. Should either ammeter fail to indicate an output from its associated generator, check the appropriate
circuit breaker.
If the circuit breakers are in their normal operating position, a further check of the system should be
accomplished.
a. Ascertain that the ammeters are operating properly.
b. Ascertain that all electrical units are off and battery is fully charged.
c. Disconnect electrical lead at terminal stud C+ on Starter-Generator being tested. (L or R).
d. Turn on battery master switch and turn selector switch (L or R) for the unit being tested to the
START position.
e. Using a voltmeter, attach positive lead to the electrical lead removed from terminal stud C+ on
Starter-Generator and the other voltmeter lead to airframe ground. Voltmeter should read the battery voltage
of 24-volts.
Revised: 9/23/81
4B3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
f. Turn battery master switch off.

g. Disconnect the voltmeter positive lead from wire removed from Starter-Generator terminal stud
C+.
h. Remove the voltmeter from the airplane.
1. Connect electrical lead previously removed to C+ terminal stud on Starter-Generator.
ll-18. A OJ USTM ENTS. The only adjustment necessary to maintain the generator system is the adjust-
ment of the voltage control on the voltage regulator. A voltage of 28.5-volts must be maintained. All other
control adjustments are made at time of installation and need not be reset.
NOTE
Since the Starter-Generator and Regulator units are designed for

use on a single polarity type electrical system, the following listed
precautions must be observed when servicing the charging circuits.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious damage
to the electrical equipment.
a. When installing a battery, always make absolutely sure the ground polarity of the battery and the
ground polarity of the Starter-Generator are the same.
b. When connecting a booster battery, make certain to connect the negative battery terminals together
and the positive battery terminals together.
c. When connecting a charger to the battery, connect the charger positive lead to the battery positive
terminal and the charger negative lead to the battery negative terminal.
d. Never operate the Starter-Generator on an open circuit. Make absolutely certain all connections in
the circuit are secure.
e. Do not short across or ground any of the terminals on the Starter-Generator or voltage regulator.

ll-5a.) Carbon dust from the starter-generator carbon brushes may be removed by using Auxilec Tool PIN
506280 and a source of compressed air.
This carbon dust, under cooling air pressure, is pushed inside the generator and accumulates in any cavity
or recess in the yoke as well as in the armature. One area particularly likely to retain the carbon dust is located
just under the conductor end winding where the holed disc used to pre-balance the armature is mounted.
The carbon dust may be blown out using one of the following methods:
a. If the starter-generator has been removed and disassembled:
NOTE
Cleaning of contaminated parts should be performed in a well

ventilated room.
The air pressure used should be as high as possible, but within the
maximum limits of the local safety codes. Also, the air should be dry
and filtered.
I. Insert the nozzle of the tool between the rad ialleads connecting the bars of the commutator to
the conductors up to the black band (on the tool nozzle) as shown in Figure 11-
2. When the tool has been inserted correctly, blow out the armature until carbon dust ceases to
come out. The cleaning should be done around 360° of the armature with the tool inserted every 2 or 3 gaps.
3. When the commutator end has been cleaned, use the nozzle to remove carbon from the
drive end of the windings.
4. Also blow out any accumulated carbon inside the yoke and field assembly.

4B7
b. If the starter-generator is removed, but not disassembled:

I. Remove the brush band.
2. Insert the nozzle of the tool as described in step a, item I. Accomplish this by passing the nozzle
first through the spaces between the brush holders.
3. Repeat step a, item 2 by rotating the rotor by hand.
4. Although not as accessible as if the starter-generator was disassembled. the drive end of the
rotor and the yoke and field assembly should be blown out whenever possible.
c. If the starter-generator is still mounted on the engine, repeat the procedure in step b as far as
possible.

11-26. FITS AND CLEARANCES. No special fits or clearances are required: however, fan dimensions
must be maintained.
11-27. INSPECTION AND TESTING OF COMPONENTS. The following test equipment will be
needed; variable speed test stand capable of driving the unit at speeds from 5,500 to 12,000 RPM at full
load and to 14,000 RPM no load. The test. stand should have suitable instruments to measure torque, speed,
voltage, current and temperature. Also needed is adequate circuitry to load the unit in five steps: 0 amps,
no load, 50 amps, 100 amps, !50 amps, 200 amps. The following conditions will also be needed to perform
the tests: cool air from a shop air source must be injected into the blast cover.
Test requirements before assembly of the unit.
a. Check the brush holders and support for shorts to ground by using II 0-volt AC source and a
7-1 I 2 watt test light connected in series. Touch one lead to the brush holder and one to the support for one
second. If lamp lights, support must be repaired.
b. To test the armature, use a 110-volt source and a 7-1/2 watt light connected in series. Touch one
lead to the armature shaft and the other lead to the commutator risers. Also check between each of the two
commutator bands and the commutator risers. If lamp lights, the armature is grounded and must be
replaced.
c. To test the stator assembly, use the same circuit as before, and touch one lead to the frame and
the other to terminal "A". If lamp lights, stator is grounded and must be replaced. Use an ohmmeter and
check for continuity by touching one lead of the meter to the negative field lead and the other to terminal
"A". The terminal block must be removed for this test.
Test requirements after assembly of the unit. (After overhaul.)
a. Without operational warm-up and regulator connected to the unit, operate as a generator at
13,000 RPM, 30-volts and no load. Record field current, commutation and frame temperature. Shunt field
current shall not be less than .81 amperes. Commutation must be black.
b. With the voltage regulator connected to the unit, operate at 12,000 RPM, 30-volts, 200 amps
until the frame temperature shows no more than 2° F rise in five minutes. Record the voltage between D

ll-27a. STARTER-GENERATOR SYSTEM (AUXILEC 8012Cl, AUTO-START) (PA-3ITI S/N'S

31T-8304001 TO 31T-8304003, AND 3IT-1104004 AND UP; PA-3IT2 S/N'S 31T-1166001 AND UP).
11-27b. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. (Refer to Figure II-lla.) As on the earlier Cheyennes, the
starter-generators are located on the top aft left side of each engine. The auto start system however, relies on a
new GCU (Generator Control Unit) to provide start and generator control. This system also makes use of a
different starter-generator then those used previously.
This system has two special characteristics:
I. The "STARTER" switch acts like a momentary contact push button, to pull in the self-latching
Start Control Relay. This relay stays pulled in until the starter speed sensor signals the GCU ("voltage
regulator") to shut off the starter, as engine speed climbs through 44% Ng. There is a manual override, "Start
Disengage" push button, that is wired in series with this relay switch circuit, for instant manual shut down
of the autostart cycle. Normal operation is to push the "Start" switch once, and forget it.
2. Starter motor torque (and current drawn) can now be controlled by replacing the series start
winding with the shunt "field" winding. Through the shunt "field" winding the GCU can control the field
current, and in turn, control the starter current. As the starter motor gains speed, the field current must be
weakened to keep up the required starter assist torque through 40% Ng. The GCU uses the starter-generator
interpole as a meter shunt, to sense the amount of field excitation current necessary to maintain the starter
current at about 300 amps.
During a normal start operation (Battery Master and Fuel Pump "ON"), the right START switch is
pressed to initiate the start cycle. This sends about 25 volts from the 5 amp "Right Start Control" circuit
breaker through the "Start Disengage" push button switch (normally closed), and on into the GCU on pin
"W." The GCU then directs the voltage out on pins "Z" and "H." Voltage from pin "H" pulls in the line
contactor which sends battery voltage to the starter. Voltage from pin "Z" pulls in the Start Control Relay,
which now "latches engaged" due to the necessity of bypassing the start switch. The Start Control Relay (either
left or right) also pulls in both the left and right starter solenoids (180 amp and 200 amp circuit breaker
bridge), to connect the starter-generator line contactor directly to the battery master solenoid.
The (right) Line Contactor supplies battery voltage through the I0 amp "Right Voltage Regulator" circuit
breaker, to pin "A" on the GCU. By now, the starter has drawn the battery voltage (in an instant) down to
perhaps 20 volts. The GCU sends nearly the whole 20 volts, that came in on "A," back out on "B. "This voltage
from GCU pin "B" goes into the starter(/ generator) on field terminal "A,"to produce high field current, and in
turn. high starting motor torque. When starter current begins at 1200 amps, current flows from the line
contactor through the starter rotor (by way of the commutator and brushes), on through the interpole and
ground cable, producing a+ 10 volt drop, to airframe, nacelle structure ground. This+ 10 volt interpole voltage
goes into the GCU on pin "G." However, the maximum field excitation current that causes high starting torque
also generates starter current bucking voltage (back EMF), causing the starter current to quickly drop off.

4B19
As the starter current falls to 300 amps (through the starter rotor and interpole), the interpole voltage fails
to +2.4 VDC (into GCU pin "G"). This signals the GCU voltage regulator to weaken the field current enough to
try to maintain 300 amps of starter current. Perhaps 4 seconds into the start cycle, the starter current is down to
300 amps, about the same time the pilot pushes the condition lever forward for turbine light off (ignition). It is
necessary for the starter motor to continue driving the lighted turbine up through 40% Ng, to prevent a "hung
start" (when Ng fails to increase above 40o/r).
As the starter motor speeds up through 44 (+ /-3)o/r Ng, its speed sensor probe (new, on the 80 12C I starter I
generator) generates about .47 V AC/ 960 cycle (measured with Simpson 260, 2.5 VAC scale) and sends it into
the GCU on pins "X" and "Y." At this indication the GCU trips off the Start Control Relay power going out on
pin "Z." to automatically shut down the starter. The turbine will then continue spooling up to 52o/c Ng idle,
unaided.
Any time the starter I generator is spinning at 52% Ng or more, and is not being used as a starter, it behaves
as a generator. With "no" excitation voltage going into the starterjgeneratorfield terminal "A,"the spinning
rotor will still produce at least one volt DC, at generator terminal "B." This voltage goes through the I 0 amp
Voltage Regulator circuit breaker and into the GCU on pin "A." The GCU then directs the voltage back out on
pin "B" to produce enough field excitation to build the unloaded generator output up to about 30 volts (this
quickly pulls down to 28.5 volts, under load).
Under normal operating procedures, the power lever is now moved forward out of the idle detent to
produce 68% Ng, before switching on the right generator. Any voltage that goes into the GCU on pin "A," is
also jumpered internally back out on pin "V." Selecting "Generator," closes the switch to take voltage out of
the GCU on pin "V" and puts it back in, on pins "J" and "U" (a redundant over voltage relay reset voltage
supply). If GCU pin "D" senses a generator output voltage (typically 30 VDC) of at least 0.15 VDC greater
than the battery voltage (typically 24 or 28.5 VDC sensed by the GCU on pin "E"), the 30 volts in on pin "J" is
directed back out on pin "H," to pull in the right (starter/)generator Line Contactor.
At this point the right ammeter will indicate a heavy load by the needle moving to the high end. When the
ammeter comes back down to 100 amps, the start procedure (turning on the left fuel pump, and activating the
start switch) for the left engine can be initiated without switching off the right generator. This procedure is
made possible by the new Electro Delta GCU's (VR2000-013A) which make use of wires that connect pin "S"
on each GCU to pin "Z" on the corresponding GCU. Therefore when the left engine's start switch is pressed,
voltage is sent out to the left start control relay from pin "Z" on the left GCU and also to pin "S" of the right
GCU. The input on pin "S" of the right GCU overrides its internal voltage regulator causing it to hold down
the right generators output to 300 amps maximum while the left (or second) engine's starter I generator is
operating as a starter.
NOTE
With one engine and its generator operating and the other engine
shut down (and not in the start mode) it is possible for the 80 12C I
starter I generators to handle brief generator load surges above 300
amps.
Once the second engine (left in this case) is running at 52% Ng (idle), the power lever should be moved
forward to produce a minimum of 68% Ng. This allows the second engine starter I generator to be switched on
without stalling the engine. The two overhead ammeters should soon equally share (+/-about 10%) any
electrical load, due to the "Equalizer Bus" wire, which runs between pin "K" on one GCU and pin "K" on the
other.
Each GCU has an internal relay that only pulls in to connect the Equalizer Bus if the GCU is in the
generator mode and the starter-generator line contactor is pulled in (power out from pin H). When both
Equalizer Bus relays are closed, a 10 ohm resistor inside each GCU, connects the interpole voltage (GCU pins
"G ") of one generator to the interpole voltage of the other. The two I 0 ohm resistors form a voltage divider that
nudges the voltage regulator of each GCU up or down until the two interpole voltages (and thus, the generator
output currents) are close to equal.

4B20
Another feature of this system not yet mentioned, is the generator trip function. The generator trip push
button switch when activated, sends voltage from pin "V" of a GCU back in on pin "R". This manually trips the
GCU's overvolt relay, which in turn trips off the Line Contactor. When this occurs with the overhead switch
in the "Generator" position, voltage through the 5 amp (left or right) start control circuit breaker is sent into
pin "T" of the GC U to keep the overvolt relay latched in the tripped position. At this point the pilot has manual
control and must switch the generator off and then on again to reset the tripped overvolt relay. (This is
accomplished every time the engines are started).
ll-27c. STARTER-GENERATOR OPERATION AND FIELD WEAKENING. (Refer to Figure II-lla.)

Most D.C. starter motors have a stationery "stator" winding connected in series with the wound rotor. Most
D.C. generators have a stationary "field" winding connected in parallel or "shunt with the rotor so the field
excitation current may be independantly controlled by a voltage regulator or "generator control unit". Since
both starter and generator can use the same rotor, the Cheyenne engines were equipped with a starter
generator unit which contains both a series start winding and shunt field generator winding.
A high current generator also requires a series "interpole" stator winding which produces good high
current performance, as well as good start performance. By itself, the interpole will not perform sufficiently as
a series start winding. Since the interpole does however serve well as a meter shunt, it is used by the GCU to
sense generator output current, as during generator paralleling, -0.6 VDC per 100 amps; or during start, +2.4
VDC per 300 amps, to control weakening of field current.
The shunt field winding can, however, serve as the starting stator winding if, and only if, the field current is
weakened as the starter comes up to speed. For this reason, the series start coil on the generator at terminal "C"
has been removed, along with the heavy gauge wire that fed it. Now the generator line contactor also serves as
the (high current) starting contactor.
With these changes, the start side of the "starter-generator" switch has been modified to a momentary type
that when pressed, applys power to the GCU. The GCU then sends power directly to the line contactor latching
it closed as well as directing approximately full battery voltage to the starter-generator terminal "A" (shunt
field). As the starter comes up to speed, the GCU weakens the field excitation current, to provide sufficient
starter torque, while the lighted turbine is building enough speed to sustain rotation.
Proper control of field current is therefore necessary when the start sequence, is initiated and should be
closely monitored to reduce the cost of any malfunction. During the first few seconds of the start phase, field
current is needed to:
a. Help produce more than the slow rotation that can be accomplished by the interpole alone. (and)
b. Generate bucking voltage to quickly reduce the initial thousand plus amps of starter current.
If the "Starter" switch is pressed and current does not flow to the field (due to a broken wire off post" A" of
the starter-generator; a blown fuse inside the GCU, off pin "B"; or other reason), the starter could begin to
smoke until the "start disengage" button is pressed.
After the initial start phase (within the first three seconds), the GCU begins to weaken the field current.
During the period between three and six seconds after pressing the "starter" switch, the GCU provides "field
weakening" to avoid an excessive bucking voltage (back EMF) that would reduce needed starter assistance
after turbine ignition. A "hung start" (Ng remaining at 40% or below) might result from no field weakening.
"Field Weakening" starter systems should therefore be carefully monitored as follows:
a. Within about five seconds after pressing "starter", ensure that the Ng. quickly accelerates to between
14 and 18 percent. If this does not appear likely, press the "start disengage" button at once, to prevent starter
overheating from lack of field current.

b. When Ng. climbs above 14% (within 4 to 5 seconds) move the condition lever forward, which should
result in engine ignition. Should Ng. not appear to prominently accelerate up through 40% within 15 or 20
seconds, pull the condition lever back to idle cutoff. Allow the engine to motor a few seconds for turbine cool
down, and press the "start disengage" button.
NOTE
This last description would prevent possible lack of field current

weakening from producing an engine overheat condition or "hung
start".
c. After the engine has accelerated to about 52%, accelerate the engine to 68% Ng. and switch on the
operating engine's generator. Once the generator is on line, it can be left on during cross, auto starting of the
second engine.
ll-27d ADJUSTMENTS TO AUTOSTART ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. (Refer to Figure 11-33.) The

only adjustment permitted to the electrical system is that which is necessary to assure proper paralleling of the
two starter-generators through their GCU's. Adjustment of each GCU can be accomplished as follows:
a. Start the right engine and after achieving 68% Ng, switch on the right generator. Make sure the left
generator is switched off and pull out the 10 amp "Left Voltage Regulator" circuit breaker.
b. With somebody in the cockpit qualified to operate the controls, take the time used to recharge the
battery, and open up the nose baggage area to gain access to the GCU's. Refer to Figure 11-33.
c. Locate the right GCU and ask the operator to switch off the right generator and pull the 10 amp
"Right Voltage Regulator" circuit breaker.
CAUTION
If the generator switch and voltage regulator circuit breaker are not
pulled prior to continuing, the following instructions could result in
spiking the GCU, thus damaging it.

4B24
d. Disconnect the harnesses from both GCU's and connect the right starter 1generator system harness
to the left GCU.
e. Push in only the "Right Voltage Regulator" circuit breaker previously referred to. Then switch on
the right generator.
f. Carefully insert voltmeter probes into the red (negative) and black (positive) output meter jacks,
that are on "top" of the GCU box above the main connector.
g. The voltage set point for the system is 28.5 volts. If the volt reading is within 2 or 3 volts, the GCU
can be adjusted. The GCU is adjusted as follows:
I. Remove the rubber cap on top of the box where the output jacks are located.
2. Inside the box is a small screw which is attached to an adjustable pot. Rotate the screw/pot
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease generator voltage. Reinstall black cap upon
completion.
h. If the system could not be adjusted or it was to far out to begin with, shut down the engine and look
for bad cable grounding and continuity as described in paragraph ll-3a, Finding Bad Electrical Connections
and Poor Ground Bonding. Reperform the previous procedures, and if the GCU still will not adjust the system
voltage, replace the GCU.
i. If adjustment is complete, switch off the right generator and pull the "Right Voltage Regulator" I 0
amp circuit breaker.
CAUTION
Damage may occur to the GCU if the previous instruction is not

completed before continuing.
j. Disconnect the right generator harness from the left GCU and reconnect both generator harnesses
to their appropriate GCU's. Peform the same test for the right GCU.
k. After shut down make sure all appropriate circuit breakers are in.

11-28. BATTERY. The 24-volt vented nickel-cadmium battery requires little service which is normally
limited to checking electrolyte level during each periodic inspection, cleaning the battery box and components
when necessary. equalizing the cells when required and occasionally recharging the battery. A battery
temperature sensor is connected to the battery to indicate an overtemperature condition on the annunciator
panel in the cockpit. See Figure 11-12 for cell layout of battery.
A periodic maintenance program is required to prevent battery failures. The condition of the battery
should be determined every 50 to 100 hours initially. Periodic battery check intervals may be varied as service
experience dictates by referring to the Battery Service Record (See PA-31T Continuous Inspection Report),
which should be maintained for each battery.
For information on battery maintenance, refer to the battery manufacturers maintenance manual. This
provides detailed instruction of charging, discharging, cleaning. handling and general troubleshooting and
maintenance of the battery. The manuals for each manufacturer are as follows: Gulton Battery Corp., Nickel-
Cadmium Aircraft Battery Maintenance Manual (PIN 15382); Saft America Inc.. Operating and
Maintenance Manual (P /N DC 3-01-78-3176-SA, or latest revision) and Marathon Battery, Marathon
battery instruction manual (P/N BA-89). Refer to Section II for a list of addresses on these vendors.
CAUTIONS
Do not use tools, hydrometers, or water that have been

contaminated by contact with lead-acid batteries or acid of any
kind.
Electrolyte (potassium hydroxide) is very caustic and will burn the
eyes, fabric. skin, etc. Neutralize with 3% boric acid and wash with
water.
Be very careful when working with uninsulated tools around the
battery terminals. This battery can deliver very high currents when
shorted. It is advisable to remove finger rings. watches, bracelets.
etc. when working on the battery, since they may fuse to the in terce II
straps and cause serious injury. When cleaning the battery, Do Not
use petroleum spirits. trichloroethylene or other solvents. Do Not
use a wire brush.
This battery must be connected to the air cooling source at all times.
NOTE
Keep vent plugs in place during charging and discharging

procedures, and at all other times except when inspecting and
adjusting electrolyte level. Carbon dioxide absorbed from the air
forms potassium carbonate in the cell, which reduces the cell
efficiency.

11-33. AUTO IGNITION SYSTEM (OPTIONAL).
11-34. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION. Auto ignition is an available option on all 1981 and later
Cheyennes. All Cheyenne ignition switches are a single pole single throw switch, in series with the red condi-
tion lever idle cut off position switch. The standard ignition switch positions are labeled "ON" and "OFF. "The
optional ignition switch on position is labeled "MANUAL," and the off position is labeled ''AUTO." The
optional "AUTO"" off ignition circuit is bypassed to on, any time the starter is energized, and also through a
low engine torque sensing switch in series with a squat switch. With the ignition switch in the "AUTO" off
position, the ignition will come back on if the starter is switched on, or if the engine torque falls off to a low
value, in flight. The low torque switch closes when falling through 400 to 275 ft.-Ibs., on a PA-31 T and
PA-31Tl, or when falling through 450 to 317 ft.-lb., on a PA-31T2. The torque switch opens, again, when
engine torque rises above 336 to 400 ft.-lb., on a PA-31T and PA-31Tl, or above 387 to 457 ft.-lb., on a
PA-31 T2. The red condition lever will always switch off ignition, in the idle cut off position.

11-37. DC CONTROL PANEL.
11-38. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The DC Control Panel is designed to incorporate all the
normal features of a 28-volt DC system in one compact unit. By using a comparator amplifier with a regulated
reference voltage, any difference between the reference voltage and the generator output, controls the power
amplifier stage. The power amplifier stage then controls the shunt field excitation of the generator.
The paralleling portion of the control panel senses the difference between the interpole voltage of the local
generator and the equalizer bus. The equalizing circuit is always summing the differential between the voltage
across the interpole of the local generator and the equalizer bus to zero.
The automatic line contactor control and reverse current protection consists of two integrated circuits.
When the potential difference becomes less than .3-volts, integration occurs and the line contactor closes.
When this happens, the circuits automatically shift to sensing reverse current.
DC control panels (PA-31T S/N JlT-8120001 and up, and PA-31Tl S(N JIT-8104001 and up and
PA-31T2 S/N JIT-8166001 and up) provide circuit protection, voltage regulation, load sharing. Adjust
procedures (refer to Paragraph 11-40).
NOTE
DC control panels used on PA-31T S/N JIT-8120001 and up, and

PA-31TI S/N 31T-8104001 and up, ARE NOT interchangeable
with early DC regulators.
11-39. CHECKING DC CONTROL PANEL.

a. Start engines and set to a gas generator RPM of 68%. Turn on all electrical equipment available in
aircraft; system voltage must remain at 28.5-volts ± 0.
b. Turn the left Starter-Generator Switch to the off position. This will transfer the full electrical load to
the right generator and DC control panel. System voltage must remain at 28.5-volts ± 0.
c. Turn the left Starter-Generator Switch to the on position and turn the right Starter-Generator
Switch off. This will transfer the full electrical load to the left Starter-Generator and DC control panel. The
system voltage must remain at 28.5-volts ± 0.

11-99. TROUBLESHOOTING. The strobe light assembly functions as a condenser discharge system. A
condenser in the power supply is charged to approximately 45Q-volts DC; then discharged across the xenon
flash tube at intervals of approximately 50 flashes per minute. The condenser is parallel across the xenon
flash tube which is designed to hold off the 45Q-volts DC applied until the flash tube is triggered by an
external pulse. This pulse is generated by a solid state timing circuit in the power supply.
When troubleshooting the strobe light system, it must flrst be determined if the trouble is in the flash
tube or the power supply. Replacement of the flash tube will confrrm if the trouble is in the flash tube or
the power supply. Replacement of the flash tube will confum if the tube is defective. A normal operating
power supply will emit an audible tone of 1 to 1.5 KHz. If there is no sound emitted, check the system
according to the following instructions. When troubleshooting the system, utilize the appropriate schematic
at the back of this section.
a. Ascertain the input voltage at the power supply is 28-volts.
CAUTION
When disconnecting and connecting power supply input

connections, do not get the connections reversed. Reversed
polarity of the input voltage for just an instant will permanently
damage the power supply. The reversed polarity destroys a
protective diode in the power supply, causing self-destruction
from overheating of the power supply. This damage is sometimes
not immediately apparent, but will cause failure of the system in
time.
When disconnecting the power supply, allow five minutes bleed

down time before handling the unit.
b. Check for malfunction in interconnecting cables.

1. Ascertain Pins 1 and 3 of interconnecting cable are not reversed.
2. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between Pins 1 and 3 of interconnecting cable. If a
reading is obtained on the meter, the cable is shorted and should be replaced.
NOTE
A short of the type described in Steps 1 and 2 will not cause

permanent damage to the power supply, but the system will be
inoperative if such a short exists. Avoid any connection between
Pins 1 and 2 of interconnecting cable as this will discharge the
condenser in the power supply and destroy the trigger circuit.
c. Check interconnecting cables for shorts.

1. Disconnect the output cables from the power supply outlets.
2. The following continuity checks can be made with an ohmmeter.
3. Check for continuity between the connectors of each interconnecting cable by checking
from Pin 1 to Pin 1, Pin 2 to Pin 2 and Pin 3 to Pin 3. When making these checks if no continuity exists, the
cable is broken and should be replaced.
4. Check continuity between Pins 1 and 2, 1 and 3, and 2 and 3 of the interconnecting cable.
If continuity exists between any of these connections, the cable is shorted and should be replaced.

11-104. DESCRIPTION. (Refer to Figure 11-19 and Sections XV, XV A- Electrical Schematics.) There are
seven switches wired in parallel located in the cabin door channel; three on each side and one on top. These
switches are adjusted to sense the insertion of the door plungers in their receptacles in the locked position. If
any one of the switches is out of adjustment, and the circuit is completed, the cabin door ajar light will stay on.
The lower forward switch is a two pole switch. The purpose of these switches is to independently provide
ground to the warning light assembly should any one of the locking pins not engage properly. In addition to'
these mechanically operated switches, there is also a pressure operated switch located in the line leading to th<!l
door seal from the accumulator tank. This also will trigger the cabin door ajar light when the pressure in the.
door seal falls below 12 psig. (Refer to Section Xlll or XIII A, paragraph titled Door Seal System.) On alll981

11-114. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION. With the aircraft on the ground and the main cabin door is
opened, the courtesy lights system (consisting of two aisle lights, stair lights, and rear exit lights) is auto-
matically turned on. These lights will remain on for twenty minutes and then extinguish. If the operator needs
additional time, he must activate the time delay reset switch for an additional twenty minutes. All lights
extinguish when cabin door is closed. With the aircraft in flight, the aisle lights and rear exit lights are con-
trolled by the forward and aft exit light switches. There is no time delay circuitry rnvolved. One of the three
control switches is located on the forward overhead panel; the remaining two are located aft of the cabin door.

11-117. INSTRUMENT LIGHTS. The switch a11tl circuit breaker panels are of the electroluminescent type.
The individual instruments on the instrument panel are lighted by bolt lights. The light intensity of the electro-
luminescent panels and bolt lights are controlled by solid state dimmers. If necessary to remove the solid state
dimmer, use the following instructions.
11-118. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION FOR THE SOLID STATE DIMMER ASSEMBLY (Earlier
Models). The Lamar Solid State Dimmer Assembly is attached to the aircraft electrical supply through the
potentiometer. This supply is switched on and off simultaneously with the low voltage control circuit. A switch
inside the potentiometer controls this on/ off function. When the potentiometer's control knob is turned on,
the lighting intensity is very dim. Lighting intensity increases with a clockwise rotation of the potentiometer's
control knob. The Lamar Solid State Dimmer serves as a release for excess heat generated when the lights are
dimmed. The solid state dimmer has a unit ground that connects to the forward overhead bulkhead aircraft
ground. A wire leading to the Electro-luminescent Power Supply of the panel lighting system and a wire
leading to the various instrument bolt-lights complete the circuits for both standard solid state dimmer
assemblies.

11-129. TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE FOR THE SOLID STATE DIMMER ASSEMBLIES.

When troubleshooting the solid state dimmer assembly, it must first be determined if the trouble is a defective
dimmer assembly, or a shorted or open connection in the wiring for the unit. Verify that the proper voltage
exists at the dimmer assembly by turning on the map light. If the map light for the appropriate side is
working, then the harness wiring is not shorted or opened as far as the bombtail connection near the map
light. (See appropriate "Panel Lights Schematic" for wiring details.) If the map light is working, gain access
to the dimmer assembly wiring per the instructions in Paragraph ll-120 Removal of Solid State Dimmer.
Locate the red wire on the potentiometer and check for 28-volts DC. If voltage is present, then the dimmer
assembly may be defective. Prior to replacing the solid state dimmer assembly with another unit, ring out
the entire wiring for the system for a possible short. If the wiring is not shorted or open replace the solid
state dimmer assembly.
NOTE
If the optional radio lights dimmer needs servicing, refer to the

ll-143. STALL WARNING SYSTEM. The stall warning system for the PA-31 T and all Cheyennes prior to
1978 is an integrated part of the Stability Augmentation System, therefore, for information regarding the stall
warning system, refer to paragraph 11-148. A description of the stall warning system for the P A-31 T l is given
below.
ll-144. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The stall warning system for the PA-31Tl consists of a lift
detector which is electrically connected to a stall warning horn. As stalling conditions are approached, the
lift detector will activate the stall warning horn. ·
The lift detector is located on the leading edge of the right wing. A tab will extend beyond the leading
edge at the point where the lift detector is mounted. With the master switch in the ON position; gently lift
tab; stall warning horn should activate.
ll-145. REMOVAL OF LIFT DETECTOR.
NOTE
The master switch must be off prior to performing any work on

the lift detector or warning horn. Place reference marks on holding
plate and wing skin for use when reinstalling lift detector.
a. Remove four screws holding the plate around the tab. The lift detector is fastened to this plate;
remove the unit from the wing.
b. Mark the electrical wires and terminals to facilitate reinstallation. Remove electrical wires from
lift detector; remove lift detector from aircraft.
11-146. INSTALLATION OF LIFT DETECTOR.

a. Attach electrical wires to their correct terminals. on the lift detector.
b. Position the lift detector with its mounting plate on the wing, determining that the sensor blade
drops down freely; secure in position with the four screws previously removed.
11-147. ADJUSTMENT OF LIFT DETECTOR. The lift detector switch is adjusted at the factory when
the airplane is test flown, and should not require any further adjustment during the normal service life of
the airplane. Should some type of service on the wing require removing the switch, the following
instructions will help in positioning the switch at the proper position.
Loosen the two Phillips head screws; one on either side of the vane. If the stall warning comes on too
late, move the switch up. If the stall warning comes on too early, move the switch down. Retighten the
screws after making any adjustments.
CAUTION
Never try to adjust the switch by bending the vane.
The only way to test the accuracy of the setting is to fly the airplane into a stall condition and NOTE
the speed at which the stall warning comes on. The stall should be made with the flaps and landing gear up
and power off. It may be necessary to make several test flights and alternate adjustments before the desired
setting is obtained. The stall warning should come on not less than five, or more than ten miles per hour
before the actual stall occurs.

11-148. STABILITY AUGMENTATION SYSTEM.
11-149. DESCRIPTION OF STABILITY AUGMENTATION SYSTEM. The Stability Augmentation

System (SAS) consists of four major components, plus a three position test switch. Also incorporated in the
system is a power warning light, a ram warning light and a stall warning light and horn. The major
components are a Stall Margin Indicator, Computer, Angle of Attack Vane (Sensor) and a Servo Actuator.
The Angle of Attack Vane mounted on the right side of the nose section of the aircraft, senses the
angle of attack by the airflow deflecting the vane either clockwise or counterclockwise. This information is
fed to the computer. The computed output derived from this information is utilized as follows: 1. To
drive the Stall Margin Indicator mounted on the instrument panel which displays the aircraft flight regime
as follows: STALL, red area of indicator; STALL WARNING, red and black barber pole area of indicator;
1.3, white area of indicator; CRUISE, green area of indicator. 2. To drive the Servo Actuator which is
attached by a cable assembly to the elevator down spring. The elevator down spring is attached to the
elevator horn assembly by an additional cable, which provides a variable elevator down spring tension
designed to improve aircraft static longitudinal stability. 3. To activate the stall warning light and horn
when the aircraft approaches a stall speed situation.
The SAS incorporates a panel mounted, three position test switch, which is spring loaded to the center
position. The function of the switch positions are as follows: Far left position labeled 1.0 TEST, to
simulate a stall condition; the center position for no test conditions (normal flight position); the far right
position labeled 1.3 TEST, to simulate 1.3 times the stall speed with the same configuration and power.
The SAS improves the static longitudinal stability of the Cheyenne thus permitting more versatile
loading. Should the SAS malfunction, the panel mounted warning lights will illuminate. If the malfunction
is due to a power failure, the power warning light will illuminate. If the malfunction is due to a Computer,
Vane and/or Servo Actuator failure, the ram warning light will illuminate. In any event should the SAS fail,
the aircraft is equipped with a Stability Augmentor Emergency Override System as standard equipment.
The pilot at his discretion can activate this system by pulling the lanyard actuator located on the right side
of the pedestal. For additional information on this system, refer to Paragraph ll-169.

11-172. STABILITY AUGMENTOR EMERGENCY OVERRIDE SYSTEM. The Stability Augmentot

Override System is standard in all PA-31 T series aircraft. The purpose of this system is to provide the pilot
with override capabilities should the Stability Augmentation System malfunction or become inoperative in
flight.
This is a manually triggered pneumatic system, utilizing gas pressure from a sealed C02 Cartridge for
actuating power. The primary components of the system are: a manual release mechanism, a C02
Cartridge, a hydraulically damped pneumatic actuator and the necessary plumbing. A cable assembly,
attached to the end of the actuator piston rod, increases the tension of the elevator down spring when the
Emergency Override System is activated. (Refer to Figure 11-25 for systtm layout diagram.)
To activate the system, pull the ring, located on the upper right side of the pedestal. This pierces the
C02 Cartridge and releases gas pressure to the lower port of the pneumatic actuator, driving the piston
upward and applying increased tension to the elevator down spring. Hydraulic fluid, on the upper side of
the actuator piston is forced through an orifice at the upper port to provide the necessary damping. This
fluid passes through a clear plastic tube to a storage reservoir. Approximately 15 seconds are required for
complete system travel.
A mechanical lock on the actuator piston rod prevents the actuator from drifting if the gas pressure
should leak off. Thus, full down spring tension is maintained until the Stability Augmentation System can
be repaired. After repairs have been completed, the Emergency Override System must be rearmed. This is
accpmplished in accordance with the following instructions:
a. Remove the access panel on the left side of the fuselage between sta. 274 and sta. 296 by turning
the screw type fasteners to release the panel.
b. Loosen the pressure release nut on the C02 line attached to the bottom actuator port to relieve
any trapped pressure and disconnect C02 line.
c. Release the mechanical lock on the actuator piston rod and slowly extend the rod. The hydraulic
fluid level should be checked as follows: The clear plastic line should be full of fluid with a minimum
amount in the reservoir with the rod fully extended. Should the fluid level in the clear plastic line indicate
less than previously stated, add hydraulic fluid (MIL-H-5606) as required to fill the plastic line.
d. Connect the end of the C02 line to the bottom actuator port and secure.
e. Safety the C02 mechanism at the pedestal.
f. Install a new C02 Cartridge.

I 1-173. A.O.A. SENSOR VANE POTENTIOMETER AND HEATER ELEMENT CHECKS. (Refer to
Chart I 1- I and Figure I t-25a.) The following checks will require a digital or vacuum tube D.C. voltmeter
(DVM or VTVM). an ohmmeter and an amp meter.
a. Potentiometer test, using a D.C. digital voltmeter (DVM or VTVM):
NOTE
DO NOT measure potentiometer wiper contact resistance with an

ohmmeter, as this tends to destroy the wiper contacts. To determine
wiper/potentiometer quality, measure wiper D.C. voltage, with a
DVM or VTVM.
I. Open the nose baggage compartment and remove the plastic cover that protects the A.O.A.
sensor (SAS vane) housing, from the nose baggage compartment panel.
NOTE
If Rosemount model 86 ICD I A. O.A. sensor is installed, and the

SAS system is not operating properly, refer to the latest revision of
Piper Service Letter No. 835 for information concerning the replace-
ment of the A.O.A. sensor with model 861CD2 mod B. If
Rosemount model 86 I C02 A.O.A. sensor is installed, consider
having the above modification installed per Piper Service Letter
No. 835. These units are not field repairable, return to the
Rosemount factory or contact your Cheyenne Service Center; some
Service Centers have set up exchange programs.
2. Pull back the remaining trim panel enough to pull out connectors E439 and E44 I, connected
to the A.O.A. sensor wires.
3. With the SAS switch "ON" and while using a DVM or VTVM, ground check the
potentiometers by measuring their voltages.
4. At the orange and white I orange wires, measure the output voltage from the computers two
+20 VDC regulators. These two wires should measure close to +20 VDC above airframe ground, and they must
not differ by more than .3 VDC. or the model 20L(I) computer is bad.
5. While slowly moving the vane up and down, measure wiper voltage to airframe, on the red,
and then on the white I red wires. The voltage reading must change smoothly between +2 volts (vane up) to
about +I 9 volts (vane down) above airframe ground, or the A.O.A. sensor is bad.
6. Measure the voltage between the red and the white/ red wires, while moving the vane slowly
up and down. On these two wipers the voltage should change in unison, so any measured voltage from wiper
to wiper is potentiometer tracking error. The computer has a comparison circuit that constantly monitors the
voltage difference between these two wires; it turns on the SAS fail light when this difference gets larger than
1.5VDC.
b. Case heater test: (No case heat causes intermittent "SAS FAIL.")
I. Check the case heater by leaving the SAS system turned on for five or more minutes, and then
placing your hand up against the metal case, where you can see the model number.
2. The case heater can also be checked by measuring from pin 3 of connector E44 I (black wire) to
pin 5 of connector E439 (white wire with black stripe) for 44 ohms of resistance.
Added: 7/2/84
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4E6
c. Vane deice heater test:

I. Check the heater by switching on the left pitot heat, having one person holding onto the vane,
while another person presses (and holds in) the right main gear safety switch. Let go of vane at the first signs of
heating.
2. The heater can also be bench tested with a 28 volt power supply. Connect the power supply to
connector E441, pin 3 (black wire), and pin 4 (grey wire) for one minute. The current (A.C. or D.C.) should
drop to three amperes ( +.4a ), at the end of one minute, and there should be signs of heating. (A switch on surge
of 10 amperes is alright.)
11-174. REPLACEMENT OF ELEVATOR (SAS) DOWN SPRING. (Refer to Figure 11-25.) The
elevator (SAS) down spring must be replaced after every 2,000 hours of aircraft operation.
a. Gain access to the elevator (SAS) down spring by removing the access panel on the left side of the
tail section at fuselage station 296.0.
b. Ascertain that the SAS servo actuator arm is full down or in the relaxed position; the elevator is
down and the control wheel is against its stop.
c. Disconnect the turnbuckle which connects the SAS down spring to the cable assembly going to
the elevator horn.
d. Remove the old SAS down spring and replace with a new one (P 1N 51484-00) and reconnect the
turnbuckle.
e. With the SAS servo arm in the full down position, the elevator down and the control wheel against
its stop, tighten the turnbuckle until the tension specified in Note I of Figure 11-25 is obtained when checking
cable tension at the location shown in Figure 11-25. Safety the turnbuckle and install the access panel.
f. Make the appropriate logbook and inspection manual entries.

12-11. TESTING EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER. The transmitter operates on the emer-
gency frequencies of 121.5 and 243 M Hz; both of these frequencies are monitored by the various FAA installa-
tions. Before performing any operational test of the EL T, the following precautions should be observed:
CAUTION
Testing of an EL T should be conducted in a screen room or metal

enclosure to ensure that electromagnetic energy is not radiated
during testing. If a shielded enclosure is not available, testing may
be performed in accordance with the following procedures:
l. Test should be no longer than three audio sweeps.
2. If the antenna is removed, a dummy load should be substi-
tuted during the test.
3. Test should be conducted only within the time period made
up of the first five minutes after any hour.
4. If the operational tests must be made at a time not included
within the first five minutes after the hour, the test should be
conducted with the closest FAA Tower or Flight Service
Station. .
Consult FAA Advisory Circular AC 20-81 for detailed information
concerning the above caution.
a. Remove the access panel or cover to gain access to the transmitter.

b. Turn the aircraft master switch ON.
c. Tune the aircraft communications receiver volume up until a slight background noise is heard.
NOTE
If the aircraft is not fitted with a communications receiver, request

that the tower listen for your test.
d. On the transmitter, set the ON 1ARM 10 FF switch to the ON position. Keep the switch in this posi-
tion for only a few seconds; then set to the OFF position or ARM if there is no OFF. Return to the ARM
position.
NOTE
The test transmission should have been picked up by the aircraft

communications receiver and/ or control tower. During cold
weather, there may be a slight delay before transmission occurs.
e. A transmitter which is functioning properly should emit a characteristic downward swept tone.
f. When the test is completed, ascertain the transmitter ON 1ARM/OFF switch is in the ARM posi-
tion.

12-13. AVIONICS MASTER AND EMERGENCY SWITtH CIRCUIT. (Refer to Figure 12-7.)
12-14. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. Electrical power for the various avionics components is con-
trolled by the Avionics Master Switch located in the Center Instrument Panel. This switch operates a solenoid
which, when engaged. provides power from the main Electrical Bus to the #I and #2 Avionics Busses. This
circuit is protected by two 50 amp circuit breakers (Radio Master #I and Radio Master#2) on the Main Elec-
trical Bus.
In the event of a malfunction in the Avionics Master Switch circuit, a 50 amp Emergency Switch (Circuit
Breaker) is provided between the Main Electrical Bus and the #I Avionics Bus. With this circuit breaker
engaged, power is supplied directly to the# I Avionics Bus, allowing the avionics components operating off of
this bus to be used. The Emergency Switch does not supply electrical power to the #2 Avionics Bus and all
components utilizing this bus will be inoperative.

SECTION XIII

PA-31T & PA-31Tl
13-1. INTRODUCTION. This section provides instructions for remedying difficulties which may arise in
the operation of the environmental control system. The instructions are organized so· that the mechanic can
refer to: Principles of Operation, for a basic understanding of the systems; Troubleshooting, for a methodical
approach in locating the difficulty; Corrective Maintenance, for the removaL repair and installation of
components; and Adjustments and Tests, for the operation of the repaired system.
13-2. DESCRIPTION. The cabin comfort control panel, located at the lower right comer of the instrument
panel, contains a 11 the controls needed to operate the heating, cooling. and dehumidification system. A master
switch on the panel controls the heater, air conditioner and cabin recirculating air blower. A mode switch is
normally used in the automatic position and the pilot need only select the proper temperature level with the
control marked TEMP. On Serial Nos. PA-31T-8120001 and up and PA-3\T-8104001 and up. a selector
switch and an aft cabin rheostat is provided. With the switch in the "pilot" position, cabin temperature is
controlled by the pilot. In the "cabin" position, control is transferred to the passenger cabin rheostat. A
manual position of the mode switch is furnished as a standby in case of automatic mode malfunction. The
switch marked MANUAL controls the heater or air conditioner when the mode switch is in the manual
position. The dehumidity switch provides a means to prevent cabin condensation when the mode switch is in
the automatic position. The heater fuel on-off switch controls the heater fuel supply. It must be on for heater
operation. A manual reset thermostat has been attached to the outboard side of the hot-air distribution box
to prevent overheating of the heated air ducts. If the thermostat should sense a temperature of 300° ±. 3° F,
electrical power will be interrupted to the heater control valve, thereby, precluding further heater operation
until the thermostat is manually reset by opening the right side nose equipment bay and depressing the reset
button. If a heater over-temp condition occurs, a thermal switch located on the heater, will trip, precluding
further heater operation until the switch is manually reset by opening the access bay and depressing the reset
button. Control of the cabin temperature is through cycling of the heater or air conditioner. Both units are
regulated by an electronic controller which receives its signal from an adjustable thermostat. When the
thermostat calls for heat, the controller turns on the heater system. The heater will operate at full capacity
until the desired temperature is obtained at the thermostat. The thermostat has a dead band between the
heating and cooling cycles. Under all normal operations, the thermostat (pilot or aft cabin) will control the
heater and air conditioner operations. The air conditioning system utilizes an engine mounted belt driven
compressor which is driven from a power takeoff on the rear of the right engine. The cabin humidity is con-
trolled by the combined operation of the heater and air conditioner. For dehumidification, the air conditioner
operates continuously and the heater cycles to maintain a desired temperature level (above 55° F). An Optional
Auxiliary Heater is available as an occasional supplement or as a temporary substitute for the combustion
unit. The on/ off control switch is located in the right side instrument panel and activates the Auxiliary
Heater and the recirculating fan. At least four fresh air vents must be open when operating the system (see
P.O.H. for other restrictions).
13-3. TROUBLESHOOTING. Troubles pertaining to the environmental control system are listed in Table
X lil-lY at the end of this section, along with their probable causes and suggested remedies.
13-4. JANITROL HEATERS. This part of Section XIII contains information for operation. service, and
overhaul of the combustion heater and combustion air blower used on the PA-31T and PA-31TI. Due to
update in heater and blower manufacturing. there are a few differences in the service procedures. Most of the
service information is basic for all units. Areas which differ have been clarified by the inclusion of assembly
part numbers in the particular subject headings or material. Reference to the Parts Catalog will establish
aircraft serial numbers required.

13-5. CABIN HEATER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION. The flow of primary air for heating, ventilating, and
defrosting is taken through the main pressurization air line or from an outside air duct in the lower right side
of the nose section. During cabin pressurization, the ram air duct is closed, and primary air is taken from the
engine sources together with secondary air taken from the cabin by means of a recirculation blower and is
delivered to the cabin air conditioning and heater system. Air from the heater is directed to outlets along both
sides of the cabin and also is routed to the windshield defroster outlets along both sides of the windshield
center post. Air for ventilating is routed through ducts along both sides of the cabin and exits out of individ-
ually controlled eyeball outlets next to each passenger seats and in front of the pilot and copilot. The recircula-
tion blower operates whenever the cabin comfort control master switch is on. All controls for the heater are
mounted on the lower right instrument panel.
13-6. HEATER OPERATION. The combustion heater is controlled by an electronic controller located on
the lower right instrument panel. A master switch turns the system ON or 0 FF. To the left of the controller is
the heater fuel switch. The controller has a mode switch for operating the heater in an automatic or manual
selection. A temperature control is used to select the desired temperature through the use of a controllable
mercury bulb thermostat. The system is normally operated in the AUTO mode position and when the thermo-
stat calls for heat, the controller turns the heater on. The heater operates at maximum efficiency until the
desired temperature is obtained.
13-7. DESCRIPTION OF HEATER COMPONENTS.
13-8. SPARK-SPRAY IGNITION. (Refer to Figure 13-3.) The controlled atomized spray from a specially
designed spray nozzle. coupled with a high voltage spark plug ignition system and a regulated combustion air
intake provide the conditions required for heater operation.
Heat is produced by burning a fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber of the heater. Fuel is injected
into the combustion chamber through the spray nozzle. The resulting cone shaped fuel spray mixes with
combustion air and is ignited by a spark from the spark plug. Electric current for ignition is supplied by an
ignition unit which converts 24-volts DC to high voltage oscillating current to provide a continuous spark
across the spark plug gap. A shielded, high voltage lead connects the ignition unit to the spark plug. Com-
bustion air enters the combustion chamber, tangent to its surface and imparts a whirling or spinning action to
the air. This produces a whirling flame that is stable and sustains combustion. Ignition is continuous and the
combustion process is self-piloting. The burning gases travel the length of the inner combustion chamber; then
double back along the inside wall of the heat exchanger to the three crossovers, through which they pass into
the outer heat exchanger compartment. After traveling the length of the heat exchanger, they then pass out the
exhaust outlet.
Ventilating, pressurized, or dehumidified air passes through the heater between the jacket and the outer
surface of the combustion tube, and through a passage between the outer and inner portions of the combus-
tion chamber. In this manner, the air comes in contact with the heated cylinder surfaces.
13-9. COMBUSTION AIR BLOWER. This centrifugal type blower supplies combustion air to the com-
bustion chamber of the heater. Performance of the combustion air blower is assisted by the use of ram air
during flight.
Combustion air blowers ( IOE58-1, 10£58-2, 16£68-1 and 16£68-2 only) contain an internal heating coil
to preheat the combustion air to assure complete fuel atomization when operating in cold surroundings. The
heating coil is controlled by a temperature switch set to turn the heating element on when combustion air
blower temperature reaches 0° F and then to turn it off when the temperature reaches +60° F.

13-10. FUEL PUMP AND HEATER FUEL FILTER. The fuel pump is an electrically operated 28 VDC
unit with a capacity of 3 G PH at I00 psi. The heater fuel filter on aircraft model PA-31 T with serial numbers
31 T -7400002 to 31 T -7720069 inclusive, is located under the copilot seat, below an access panel on the floor.
Aircraft model PA-31T with serial numbers 31T-7820001 and up, and model PA-31TI with serial numbers
31 T 1-780400 I and up, the filter is located in the right, forward fuselage at station 81. The filter should be re-
placed after approximately 500 hours of heater operation and inspected each I 00 hours. The heater operation
hours- are recorded on an hour meter, located in the forward fuselage at station 81.
13-11. H EATER LIM IT SWITCH. Located on the heater is an overheat or limit switch. This acts as a safety
device to render the heater system inoperative if a malfunction should occur causing excessively high
temperatures (225° +1-5° F. minimum opening). This switch is located on the downstream end of the vent
jacket and is reached through the access panel on the right side of the nose section. On various models the reset
switch is located on the instrument panel adjacent to the heater controls. (Refer to Parts Catalog for part
numbers, serial numbers and kit number).
13-lla. HEATER THERMOSTAT. /Refer to Parts Catalog for part numbers, serial numbers~) If kit
numbers 764 227 and 764 228 are installed, a manual reset thermostat has been attached to the outboard side of
the hot air distribution box to prevent overheating of the heated air ducts. If the thermostat should sense a
temperature of 300°+/-3°F, electrical power will be interrupted to the heater control valve, thereby, pre-
cluding further heater operation until the thermostat is manually reset by removing the access panel on the
right side of the nose section and depressing the reset button.
13-12. HEATER CYCLING SWITCH. The cycling switch located on the upper surface of the left cabin
heat duct, just opposite the left rudder pedal, operates to control the duct temperature. This switch will turn
the heater fuel off when the duct temperature reaches 196° ± 3° F and back on at 188° :t 5° F. This switch cycles
the heater on and off to maintain the set temperature and is adjustable. (See Figure 13-4.) Preset at the factory
so no further adjustment should be required.
13-13. COMBUSTION AIR PRESSURE SWITCH. This is a differential pressure switch which shuts off
the heater operation whenever a positive combustion air pressure of .5" of water is reached.

13-14. INSPECTION OF HEATER AND HEATER COMPONENTS.

a. Inspect all fuel lines and fittings for fuel stains, indicating leakage, and replace lines or tighten
fittings as necessary.
b. Check heater for loose bolts, screws and wiring.
c. Inspect all electrical connections for corrosion. If corrosion is evident. clean affected components
and wipe clean with a lightly oiled cloth.
d. Inspection of the heater combustion chamber is limited because the outer jacket is not removable.
Minor cracks or pinholes will be detected in the leakage test outlined in Paragraph 13-71.
13-15. DAILY INSPECTION.

a. Inspect the ventilating air inlet scoop, combustion air inlet scoop, exhaust outlet and fuel drain
for possible obstructions. Make sure that all of these openings are clear of any restrictions and that no
damage has occurred to air scoop protrusions.
b. Look in the area of the combustion heater exhaust tube for large or unusual accumulations of soot
on the aircraft skin. Soot accumulations indicate that the heater is operating at a "fuel rich" condition. A
"fuel rich" condition may be caused by incorrect fuel pressure to the heater, restriction in the combustion air
inlet line, loss of performance by the combustion air blower, or partially clogged fuel nozzle.
c. Perform an operational check as follows:
I. Place the HEATER SWITCH in the ON (or HEAT) position. The ventilating air blower
and combustion air blower should operate and the heater OYER TEMP light should illuminate.
2. Operate both the combustion air blower and ventilating air blower and check each for
unusual current draw, noise or vibrations.

I. Operate the heater as outlined in Step b, and reset the "MODE" switch to "AUTO"
position.
2. Rotate the "TEMP" control to the "HI" position and check for heater ignition after 10
second delay.
NOTE
With the controller set up in this configuration, the "SELECTOR"

switch is cut out of the circuit, and the heater will operate only if
the "TEMP" control is set high enough to call for heat. The
outside air temperature must be below 80°F or the cabin
thermostat must be artificially cooled.
3. Rotate the "TEMP" control to the "LO" position. The heater should shut off.
13-22. RECIRCULATING FAN POWER CIRCUIT CHECK. With the cabin comfort controller
"MASTER" switch in the "ON" position, electrical continuity (24-volts nominal) should be present at the
recirculating fan motor.
13-23. HEATER POWER CIRCUIT CHECK. With tht cabin comfort controller "MASTER" switch in the
"ON" position, the "SELECTOR" switch in the "HEAT" position and the "MODE" switch in the "MAN"
position, electrical continuity should be present at the following locations:
NOTE
The recirculating fan will operate as long as the master switch is

on.
a. Terminal No. 1 of the heater terminal strip to ground.

b. Terminal No. 1 of heater terminal strip through the radio noise filter to the combustion air
blower motor to terminal No.5 of the heater terminal strip.
c. From terminal No. 1 of the heater terminal strip to the overheat switch through the combustion
air pressure switch to terminal No. 2 of the heater terminal strip.

13-24. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Instructions in this paragraph pertain to maintenance of the
basic heater and components. Instructions for removal of compone~ts are included, provided the
installation pennits accessibility.
NOTE
No special tools are required for normal periodic maintenance.
13-25. COMBUSTION AIR BLOWER.

a. Removal:
1. Disconnect wire at quick-disconnect terminal.
2. Disconnect the inlet tubing from the inlet air adapter.
3. Loosen the clamps that hold the combustion air blower assembly in the support bracket and
slide the motor out of the bracket.
b. Installation:
1. Prior to installing the combustion air blower, inspect all parts of the assembly for loose
scre'W'S, loose nuts, and poor ground connection on the blower housing. Make sure the blower wheel is tight
on the shaft and properly located in the housing. It should have just enough clearance to rotate at full speed
without binding against the outer portion of the housing. Blower performance is based upon this
close-tolerance clearance. It is recommended that correct voltage be applied for this clearance check.
2. Install the blower inlet adapter in the same orientation as before removal.
3. Place the combustion air blower assembly in position in the attaching clamp so the air
tubing can be connected and slide the tubing into position at the point where it was disconnected during
removal. Tighten the motor in the attaching strap.
4. Secure the air tubing by installing the bolt and locknut removed during disassembly.
5. Connect the wire lead to No. 1 terminal on terminal strip.
6. Check motor operation by setting the selector switch to the heat position, the mode switch
to the manual .Position and leaving the heater fuel switch in the off position. Now turn on the comfort
control master switch.
NOTE
It may be desirable to disconnect the lead wire to the recirculating

fan, as it will also operate whenever the cabin comfort master
switch is in the ON position.

13-33 .. INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF COMBUSTION AIR BLOWER. Remove the brush cap at one of.
the brush locations. Note position of brush inside the guide and carefully lift the brush and brush spring out
of the guide. Be sure to hold the brush so that it can be reinstalled in precisely the same position if no brush
replacement is required.
Inspect the brush for wear. A new brush is .531 inch long. If brushes are worn to a length of .187 inch,
they must be replaced.
Looking through the brush guide, inspect the commutator, which should be smooth and medium
brown to dark brown in color. Remove all dust from commutator with compressed air. If the commutator
is grooved in the brush track, gouged, scored, or shows signs of having burned spots, replace the complete
motor assembly. If the commutator is in good condition, install new motor brushes and tighten brush caps
into place. Make sure each brush is oriented so that the curved end fits the curvature of the commutator.
After installing new brushes, it is advisable to run in the brushes as follows: Connect the motor to a
controlled voltage supply (rheostat in a 24-volt line). Operate the motor at approximately 1/2 its nonnal
speed for the first hour; then gradually increase the speed until it is rotating at approximately nonnal speed.
Continue the run-in operation for at least two hours to properly seat the brushes before installing the
blower in the airplane.

b. Inspection and Servicing (Spark Plug):

l. If the spark plug appears to be in good condition, except for a mild coating of oxide on the
porcelain and electrode, it may be cleaned and reused. Cleaning is accomplished on a conventional airplane
type spark plug cleaner, except that it will be necessary to use two or more adapters in order to raise the long
extension of the plug far enough out of the cleaner nozzle opening to perform an effective job. Plug the
ceramic insert cavity at the terminal end of the plug with a piece of paper or cloth to keep out any of the clean-
ing sand. Wipe this cavity out thoroughly with a cloth wet with carbon tetrachloride. If after cleaning the
spark plug porcelain is white and the electrode is not eroded, proceed to check the ground electrode in the
heater and adjust the spark gap in accordance with Paragraph 13-44 (c) and Figure. 13-13.
NOTE
If the spark plug fails to clean up properly and/ or the electrode is
badly eroded, it should be replaced.
c. Spark Gap Check and Adjustment: (See Figure 13-13.)

A spark gap of 0.156 to 0.187 of an inch must be maintained on the P jN 39018 spark plug. This gap
should be checked any time a plug is replaced or at the time of heater overhaul. A spark gap greater than that
specified can shorten the life of the ignition assembly. There are several methods in which the spark gap of this
heater may be checked. Method I is recommended when the heater is being overhauled and before the installa-
tion of the fuel nozzle. Methods II and III are suitable for checking the gap through the spark plug well when
the heater is not disassembled.
Method I:
1. Using 5j 32 inch drill (0.156) or a piece of 5 j 32 rod, reach down through the small opening in
the combustion head and find the ground electrode. (It is welded inside the head.)
2. Move the drill along the side of the electrode on the spark plug side. (Movement should be
from the outer edge towards the center.) The drill should just pass through the spark plug gap opening. Should
the drill fail to pass through this opening, the gap is too narrow. If it passes through too freely, the gap is too
wide. In either case, it will be necessary to bend the ground electrode in the direction required. This may be
done by removing the spark plug and reaching through the opening.
3. Recheck the gap after repositioning of the ground electrode.
Method II:
1. Measure the distance between the seating surface of the spark plug with a new gasket
installed to the end of the plug electrode.
2. Using a depth gauge, measure the distance between the ground electrode in the heater to the
spark plug seating surface in the heater jacket and check this measurement against the measurement
obtained in Step 1. The difference should be between 0.156 to 0.187 of an inch.
3. The ground electrode can be bent to obtain the required gap.
Method lll:
1. Fabricate or purchase from Piper, the special tool from dimensions given in Figure 13-13.
2. Install the threaded end of the tool into the spark plug hole.
3. Slide the rod of the tool into the combustion head until it contacts the ground electrode.
4. Check that the indicator ring on the rod lines up with the end of the tool. The iound
electrode may be bent to obtain the required gap.

13-48. TESTING IGNITION UNIT. The ignition unit does not require complete overhaul. The following
test will indicate whether or not the unit is operational, and whether the vibrator should be replaced before
reinstallation in the aircraft. The following equipment is required to test the components:
a. A battery that will supply power at approximately 28-volts DC.
b. A voltmeter with a range of 0-30 volts.
c. A lead from the battery to the test fixture in which is included an ammeter with a range of 0-3
amperes and a normally open, momentary closed switch. The total resistance of the lead, including the
ammeter and switch must not exceed 0.3 ohms.
d. Spark Plug Gap: (Spark Plug PIN 39D 18)
1. A spark gap of .156 to .187 of an inch. A convenient means of arranging the correct spark gap
is to install a spark plug, P /N 39D 18, in a text fixture arranged to provide a ground electrode and a .156 to
.187 of an inch spark gap. Refer to Figure13-IO for information on fabricating the fixture.
NOTE
Any one of several spark plugs may be used with the spark plug
fixture detailed in Figure 13-1 O.However, the" A" dimension in that
sketch must be varied with the length of spark plug electrode to
provide a gap of .156 to .187 of an inch for all spark plugs.
CAUTION
When testing an ignition unit, do not use a screwdriver as a substi-

tute for a spark plug and spark plug fixture.
e. Spark Plug Gap: (Spark Plug P/N lOE75-l and lOE75-2)

13-67. CLEANING OF COMBUSTION TUBE AND JACKET ASSEMBLY.

a. The inside of the combustion chamber and radiator can be cleaned by filling it with Oakite M-3
Stripper Solution and allowing it to soak overnight. This will require closing the combustion air, exhaust
and drain openings with tight-fitting metal caps to retain the Oak.ite Solution. The solution is made by
mixing one pound of Oak.ite with each gallon of water used, and should be maintained at 190 degrees
Fahrenheit to. 210 degrees Fahrenheit during the soaking period. Be sure to rinse the heater thoroughly
with water after soaking.
CAUTION
Do not submerge the combustion chamber, radiator and jacket

assembly in the Oakite solution, as this will destroy the
non-removable gasket at the exhaust outlet opening in the jacket.
b. A sandblast cleaner or a stainless steel brush may also be used to clean the inside of the
combustion chamber. After sandblasting or brushing, be sure to remove all sand or loosened foreign
material.
CAUTION
Do not use an ordinary steel brush, as it may cause corrosion.
c. Wipe the outside of the jacket with a cloth dampened in dry-cleaning solvent and follow up with
a clean, dry cloth.
13-68. INSPECTION OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND JACKET.

a. Since the outer jacket is not removable, inspection of the combustion chamber is limited. Minor
cracks or pinholes can be detected in the leakage test outlined in Paragraph 13-71. The following
information should be useful in attempting to evaluate a damaged combustion chamber.
b. Damage to the combustion chamber and radiator can be classified as soft and spongy metal as a
result of overheating, deformation as a result of overheating or backfiring, fatigue cracks and pinholes.
NOTE
A heater showing damage due to overheating has been operating in

a system where some control is not functioning correctly. Be sure
to check all components of the heating system before placing the
heater back into service.
c. Soft and spongy metal can be detected by tapping lightly with a ball-peen hammer on the
downstream end of the combustion tube. Soft spots will produce a dull sound in contrast to the solid
ringing response obtained when tapping on live metal. If soft spots are found, the combustion chamber and
jacket assembly should be replaced.
d. Deformation as a result of backfiring usually will distort the wall of the radiator near the
crossover passages. This will be accompanied by evidence of extreme oxidation and is sufficient reason for
replacement of the assembly.

13-69. INSPECTION OF REMAINING COMPONENTS.

a. Discard all rubber parts such as grommets, gaskets and 0-rings. Always replace these items at
overhaul.
b. Inspect all wires for damaged terminals and for chafed, cracked or otherwise damaged insulation.
Individual wires c.an be replaced by making them up from No. 16 A WG stock, cut to correct length, with
terminals installed by means of an acceptable crimping tool. Do not use solder for heater wiring connections.
c. If heater controls were operating correctly prior to overhaul, reinstall them.
d. Inspect all hardware parts such as bolts, screws, nuts, washers and lock washers. Replace damaged
parts.
e. Inspect the terminal board for signs of damage, such as distortion or cracks. Replace if either exists.
f. Inspect the spray nozzle with a magnifying glass. The nozzle can be disassembled for cleaning.
Remove the screen and wash in cleaning solvent if dirt is found on the screen. Look for any obstructions in the
nozzle orifice and any sign of damage to the slight conical protrusion at the nozzle tip. There should be no
evidence of any metal object having come into contact with it. Use compressed air to remove obstructions and
re-examine to be sure the orifice is open. Do not under any circumstances press or rap on the tip face. After
cleaning, store the nozzle in a polyethylene bag until ready for reassembly. If there is any sign of damage or
distortion, replace the nozzle.
g. (62D33) Inspect the fuel feed, nozzle holder, and solenoid valve assembly for damaged threads at
the fuel line fitting, and for a crimped or cracked fuel line or distorted housing. Check the solenoid for con-
tinuity by reading the resistance across the two leads with an ohmmeter. A reading of 75 to 85 ohms at room
temperature is normal. If the reading is not between these limits, or if the solenoid windings show signs of
physical damage or overheating, replace it. Replace preformed packing. .
h. (62D33-l, 62D33-2, 10E21-l and 10E21-2) Inspect the fuel feed and nozzle holder assembly for
damaged threads at the fuel line fitting and for a crimped or cracked fuel line or distorted housing. Check the fuel
solenoid for continuity by reading the resistance across the two leads with an ohmmeter. A reading of 100 to 125
ohms at room temperature is normal. If the reading is not between these limits, replace solenoid.
i. The combustion air pressure switch must respond to delicate pressure changes and should always
be checked and/ or replaced at overhaul. (Refer to Paragraph 13-75 and Figure 13-22,)
13-70. TESTING.
13-71. COMBUSTION TUBE AND JACKET ASSEMBLY. Test the combustion tube for leaks as follows:
a. Fashion a sealing plate from approximately .125 inch thick flat stock to seal the opening in the
combustion tube assembly. (See Figure 13-21 ) Use a rubber gasket under the plate and attach the plate with
six screws.
b. Make up seals for all remaining openings, except the one used to connect the air pressure source.
(See Figure 13-21.) Use rubber stoppers as shown. The combustion air inlet tube can be sealed best with a
drilled stopper and clamp. Other openings should be sealed with expansion plugs. The seal used in the exhaust
tube should be formed so that it w,ill not deform the air pressure switch tube which protrudes into the exhaust.
c. See that all openings except the combustion air pressure switch connection are plugged. This is the
most convenient connection for attaching the test air pressure source on earlier models·. On later models the
combustion head opening can be used if the cover plate is modified so that the air pressure supply can be
connected to it.
d. Connect a regulated air pressure supply to the opening that has not been plugged. Apply a pressure
of three to five psi to the combustion tube.
e. Submerge the assembly in water for several minutes while watching for bubbles that would indicate
leaks. Turn the combustion tube in the water so that any entrapped bubbles will be freed. Bubbles will indicate
leaks. No air leakage is permitted from the combustion tube assembly. No weld or braze repairs are permitted
on a combustion tube assembly.

13-72. FUEL FEED AND NOZZLE HOLDER ASSEMBLY. Test the fuel feed and nozzle holder assembly
as follows:
a. Using filtered compressed air, apply 20 psi to drain port, located on the surface of the valve
assembly near the threaded nozzle cavity.
b. Immerse the assembly in clean water, with the fuel inlet and the nozzle cavity left open.
c. Observe for air bubbles, which would indicate leakage. If bubbles appear at either the nozzle
cavity or fuel inlet, there is a leak in the fuel tube. If bubbles appear externally at either end of the shroud
tube, the shroud tube is leaking.
d. In either of the above cases, the complete fuel feed and nozzle holder assembly must be replaced.
e. If no leaks are found, dry the assembly carefully with compressed air.
13-73. NOZZLE SPRAY TEST. Spray test the nozzle as follows:

a. Install the nozzle in the fuel feed and nozzle holder assembly as described in Paragraph 13-77,
13-78 or 13-79, and connect the fuel tube and solenoid valve to a source of fuel capable of delivering the fuel
at 100 psi.
b. Connect the solenoid leads to a 24-volt battery, with a switch in one of the leads to open and
close the solenoid when desired.
c. With the solenoid energized and the fuel line connected, observe the spray pattern. It should be
conical in shape, with even dispersion in all directions.
WARNING
To avoid the danger of fire, use Stoddard solvent and be sure to

keep the atomized spray away from flame.

505 PA-31T and PA-31TI
d. Energi1e and de-energize the solenoid several times. The spray should shut off completely each
time the solenoid is de-energized. There should be no sign of dribbling at the nozzle tip in excess of one or
two drops.
e. If the spray pattern is distorted, check for an obstruction and clean the nozzle as described in
Paragraph 13-69. If this fails to provide a normal spray pattern, replace the nozzle.
f. If the nozzle continues to dribble, the solenoid valve is not closing properly. Replace the solenoid
valve.
13-74. REPAIR OF COMBUSTION TUBE. No weld or braze repairs of the combustion tube assembly are
1 authorized.
13-75. TESTING COMBUSTION AIR PRESSURE SWITCH. (Refer to Figure 13-22.)

a. Connect an adjustable air pressure line that can be controlled in a range of zero to 5.0 inches of
water, to the switch opening with a water manometer and needle valve in the line ahead of the switch.
Switch must be tested in the same position as installed in the airplane.
b. Connect an ohmmeter across the switch terminals to determine the exact instant of switch closing.
c. Apply air pressure, slowly allowing it to build up from zero. The switch contacts should close at
0.5 ± .I inches of water which will be indicated on the manometer.
NOTE
The switch has a differential pressure tap, and this opening must
be left open to atmosphere during the test.
d. Make several trials to insure switch reliability. Be sure to increase and decrease the air pressure
slowly in order to produce accurate indications.
e. If an adjustment is required, rotate the adjusting screw clockwise to increase and counterclockwise
to decrease settings.

performed as outijned in the succeeding paragraphs:
a. Check recirculating air and combustion air motors for correct RPM and current drain.
b. Connect either.motor to a 24-volt DC power supply. Rotation should be counterclockwise when
viewed from the shaft end.
c. The combustion air blower motor should rotate at approximately 7500 RPM at rated voltage.
Current drain is approximately three amperes.
d. The recirculating fan motor should rotate at approximately 11 ,300 RPM at rated voltage. Current
drain is approximately 12.5 amperes.
e. If current drain is excessive, or if speed is too low, replace the brushes. Recheck both current
drain and RPM after brushes are properly run in. (Refer to Paragraph 13-40.)
f. If after replacing brushes operation is still unsatisfactory, replace the motor.
NOTE
The motor checks described above for the combustion air motor
should be made without the blower housing attached.

13-81. TEST PROCEDURE.
13-82. GENERAL INFORMATION. A test of all components should have been made after overhaul to insure
proper operation. Some shops may not have complete testing facilities for measuring airflow, pressure drops,
and other factors which would be accomplished in a laboratory type test. If such a test cannot be made, install
the heater and check operation on the ground and in the air to determine if operation is normal. In shops where
complete test equipment is available and a complete functional test can be performed, the test routine
described in subsequent paragraphs should be made.
13-83. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED. (See Figure 13-23.)

a. An improvised stand to hold the heater during test. The heater should be located far enough away from
any combustible material or atmosphere to avoid hazard. A location should be chosen where exhaust
can be dispelled. Do not add an excessive extension to the heater exhaust.
b. A source of fuel capable of being regulated from 0 to 100 psi.
c. The combustion air blower to be used with the heater should be used for the test.
d. A 24-volt DC power supply, with a rheostat, ammeter, and voltmeter in the line to control and indicate
the current drain and voltage output.
e. Two water manometers (zero to 5.0 inch water column) for measuring the pressure in the ventilating
air duct and in the combustion air stream.
f. A piece of duct to be attached to the downstream end of the heater. It should have a minimum length
of 24 inches and the same diameter as the heater being tested. A 2.25 inch diameter orifice should be
centrally located at the outlet end. An aperture should be provided for the thermometer, and the
cycling switch that is used with the heater (see Paragraph 13-53, a), and a static tap should be attached
g. A thermometer with 500°F scale.
h. A fuel-pressure gauge 0 to 150 psi range.
i. A controlled source of compressed air for final leakage test.
j. Vent air blower capable of producing a reading on the ventilating air manometer of 2.6 inches of water.

PA-31T AND PA-31T1 5D12 Interim Revision: 10/15/97
13-84. OPERATIONAL TEST (Refer to Figures 13-23 and 13-24.)

a. Install the heater into the test setup and check to be sure that all equipment is mounted, the
electrical connections are tight, and mechanical connections are secure.
b. Close the master switch and individually check the operation of the recirculating fan, combustion
air blower and fuel pump.
c. Check to see that the pressure switch light is on. This shows that the combustion air blower is
delivering sufficient air to close the air pressure switch.
d. Check the manometer connected to ventilating air pressure tap. It should show a reading of 2.5 ±
.2 inches of water at rated voltage.
e. The manometer connected to the combustion air pressure tap should show a reading of 1.5
inches of water (minimum) at rated voltage.
f. With the fuel pump switch closed, adjust the pump to 100 psi. Close the heater switch; the heater
should ignite within five seconds. (This time may be slightly longer if air must be purged from the lines on
the fust trial.)
g. The cycling switch should operate to control the outlet air temperature at approximately 188° ±
so F. This is dependent upon ambient temperature and airflow conditions. If switch operation is within this
range, the switch is operating normally. Replace the switch if it does not operate within this range. The swi.tch
is adjustable. To increase the temperature that the cycling switch is set to cut off, remove the sealant from the
small adjusting screw and turn the screw counterclockwise. To decrease the cutoff temperature, turn the
screw clockwise. After adjustment, seal the adjusting screw with Glyptol or equivalent.
h. The cycling switch can be removed from the circuit by means of a cycle switch bypass. Use of the
bypass permits checking the operation of the overheat switch.
i. Restrict the ventilating air inlet and observe if the overheat switch shuts off the heater. The overheat
light will indicate opening of the overheat switch. It should shut off not lower than 22S 0 .±so F. This shutoff
temperature is also dependent upon ambient temperature and airflow. The overheat switch is not adjust-
able.
j. After the overheat switch shuts off, remove the ventilating air restriction. Open the cycle switch
bypass. Push the manual reset button on the overheat switch, and the heater should ignite and operate
normally.
k. Shutdown the heater test setup and check all components of the heater to be sure no damage has
occurred in the test.
1. Remove the heater from the test setup and install it in the airplane, in accordance with
instructions in Paragraph 13-19. Remove the cycling switch from the duct used in the test and install
according to Paragraph 13-S4, Section b.
13-8S. LEAKAGE TEST.

a. Apply air pressure of 3.0 psi to the combustion tube of the assembled heater. Leakage shall not
exceed 0.66 scfm.
b. Apply air pressure of 16 psi to the ventilating air passages. Leakage shall not exceed l.S scfm.

13-87. AUXILIARY HEATER DESCRIPTION. The electric heater consists of six individual resistive
wire elements located inside an aluminum duct. They are each insulated from the duct housing by screws.
insulator seals and lock washers and are bussed together with copper straps. The heater duct assembly is
located in series with the fresh air vents ducting system. An ON I OFF switch, located in the right side
instrument panel, energizes the heating elements through a circuit breaker and solenoid. This solenoid is
located directly forward of ST A. 24.00 on the right longitudinal beam. The recirculating fan relay (See List of
Illustrations, Section XV, for location) is also energized by the switch, which in turn supplies power to the fan.
It is essential that the fan operates to provide cooling air to the heating elements to control their heat rise.
Thermostat Switches are located on the heating duct housing, in the event the recirculating fan does not
operate.
13-88. AUXILIARY HEATER OPERATION. The heater system is controlled by the ON/OFF selector
switch. This switch activates the heating unit and recirculating fan. At least four fresh air vents must be open
during operation. In the event the recirculating air fan does not operate. the system must be shut down.

NOTE
The auxiliary heater unit must not be operated unless the engines are
running or a ground power unit is being used. Doing so will rapidly
discharge the battery. See P.O.H. for Emergency Procedures and
Limitations.

13-91. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.
13-92. CABIN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The air condi-
tioner can be operated independently or in conjunction with the heater through the use of an electronic con-
troller mounted in the lower right section of the instrument panel. The controller receives its signal from a
controllable m~rcury bulb thermostat. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the controller turns on the air
conditioner. Under all normal operations, the cabin thermostat will control the operation of the air condi-
tioner or heater.
The air conditioning system uses Freon 12 refrigerant which is drawn into an engine mounted, belt
driven, recirculating, axial type, six cylinder compressor. It is driven from a power takeoff on the rear of
the right engine at 3968 RPM compressor speed. The compression is set into operation through a magnetic
clutch mounted on the compressor. With the compre~sor in operation, Freon 12 is pumped under high
pressure. The Freon vapor is heated as a result of the compressor process. It then flows to the condenser
which is a fin and tubing heat exchanger mounted behind the right engine fire wall. The Freon vapor is
cooled and condensed to a liquid state by air entering through the lower right side of the nacelle. The air is
drawn in and circulated by an impeller fan. The liquid then flows through tubing to the receiver-dehydrator
assembly which acts as a reservoir and also functions as a filter to remove any trapped air or moisture that
was in the system during the initial charging. High pressure liquid Freon is supplied from the receiver to an
expansion valve. This valve meters the refrigerant into the evaporator core at a rate which allows the liquid
refrigerant to evaporate. Heat from the evaporator core surface is lost to the boiling and vaporizing Freon
which is cooler than the core, thereby cooling the core and the air passing through it. As this process is
taking place, moisture (humidity) in the air condenses on the outside surface of the evaporator core and is
drained off as water. By the time the refrigerant leaves the evaporator, it has completely vaporized. It then
passes through the evaporator control valve which is used to control the evaporator pressure. This is
accomplished by restricting the outlet from the evaporator so that the pressure within the evaporator is
maintained at a predetermined valve to prevent the freezing of atmospheric moisture on the evaporator.
The refrigerant vapor then returns to the compressor where the cycle is repeated. There is a overpressure
switch located in the high pressure port of the freon compressor and a thermal switch mounted on the
condenser inlet line on various models_ (Refer to Parts Catalog for serial numbers.) The overpressure switch
will engage the clutch at 375 .± 10 PSI and disengage the clutch at 200 ±.lOPSI. The thermal switch will engage
the clutch at 170°F and disengage the clutch at 150°F.
13-93. TROUBLESHOOTING. A table at the end of these instructions will assist in locating and correcting
malfunctions which may arise in this system.
13-94. MALFUNCTION DETECTION. The detection of system malfunction largely depends on the
mechanic's ability to interpret the gauge pressure readings into system problems. A system operating normally
will have a low side gauge presiure reading that will correspond with the temperature of the refrigerant
evaporating in the evaporator, allowing for a few degrees temperature rise due to loss in the tube walls and fins.
The high side will have a gauge pressure that will correspond with the temperature of the refrigerant
condensing in the condenser, allowing for a few degrees temperature drop due to loss in the tube walls and fins.

PA-31T and PA-31Tl
5D21
Any deviation from that which is normal indicates a malfunction within the system due to a faulty
control device, obstruction, defective part or improper installation.
Detection of system malfunction is made easier with the knowledge that the temperature and gauge
pressure of Refrigerant 12 are nearly equal numerically between the pressures of twenty and eighty pounds
per square inch (psi). A glance at the temperature-pressure chart will show that there is only a slight
variation between the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant in the lower range.
It is correct to assume that for every pound of pre~~re added to the low side, a temperature increase
of about one degree Fahrenheit takes place. For instance, a pressure of 23.8 on the chart indicates a
temperature of 24°F. A change of pressure of almost one pound to 24.6 psi gives us a temperature increase
to 25°F.
NOTE
For each 1,000 feet of elevation above sea level, the gauge readings
will be about one inch of mercury or 1/2 psi higher than the chart
indicates.
It must be pointed out that the actual temperature of the air passing over the coils of the evaporator
will be several degrees warmer allowing for a temperature rise caused by the foss in the fms and tubing of
the evaporator.
The importance of a seasonal checkup of the air conditioning system should be brought to the
attention of the customer whenever possible. A thorough check of the system performed in a methodical
manner will reveal trouble the customer is often not aware of. Locating and repairing the trouble early will
usually result in savings to the customer both in time and additional troubles that too often result from
neglect.
A performance test of the system is the only positive way in which the complete system can be
checked for efficient operation. The air conditioning system should be given this test before work is begun
on the system whenever possible; however, if the system .is completely inoperative, repairs must be
performed before the system can be properly tested. The test can uncover further work that must be
performed before the system is brought to its full operating efficiency. The performance test should always
be performed after repair work has been done and before the aircraft is released to the customer. The
serviceman performing this test carefully will insure that the repairs have been properly performed and that
the system will operate satisfactorily.
The performance test when properly performed includes a thorough examination of the outside of the
system as well as the inside. Many related parts are overlooked because it is felt they are of no bearing on
the operating efficiency of the unit. For this reason, a thorough visual inspection of the complete system
should be performed, followed by an operating inspection of the system.

13-95. RECOMMENDED GROUND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

a. The following steps should be performed to insure proper functioning of the air conditioning system:
1. If the outside air temperature is between 70 to 90°F perform the following steps.

13-96. SPECIAL SERVICING PROCEDURES. The air conditioning system should be serviced by a.
qualified shop with trained personnel. The following procedures and precautions should be observed:
The efficiency of this system depends upon the pressure-temperature relationship of pure refrigerant.
As long as the system contains only pure refrigerant plus a specified amount of compressor oil (which is
mixed with the refrigerant), it is considered to be chemically stable. Foreign materials within the system
will affect the 9hemical stability, contaminate the system and decrease its efficiency.
WARNING
The air conditioner must not be operated with the condenser

cooling fan not operating. High compressor discharge pressures
will result from the low condenser cooling airflow. If the air
conditioner is accidentally operated without the condenser fan for
more than about three minutes, there is a good chance that freon
and compressor oil will be lost through the relief valve located on
the compressor. (Refer to Figure I 3-33.)
a. The most accurate way to check the condition of the systeqt is by attaching gauges to the system
b. Always wear safety goggles when handling refrigerant.
WARNING
One of the most important precautions is protection of the eyes

when handling refrigerant. Any liquid refrigerant which may
accidentally escape is approximately 21.7° F below zero. Serious
injury could result if refrigerant comes in contact with the eyes. If
refrigerant comes in contact with tht> eyes:
1. DO NOT rub the eyes. Rinse the eyes with cold water t0
gradually get the temperature above the freezing point.
2. Apply a protective film of antiseptic oil over the eyeball to
reduce the possibility of infection.
3. Consult a doctor or eye specialist immediately. Should
refrigerant come in contact with skin, it should be treated as
though the skin had been frostbitten or frozen.

c. Large quantities of Freon 12 refrigerant should not be discharged into a closed room. It may
displace the oxygen in the air.
d. Large quantities of Freon 12 which come in contact with live flame will produce a poisonous gas.
e. Keep lines capped to prevent foreign material and moisture from entering the system.
f. This is a high pressure system, and the pressure should be released slowly before disconnecting
any lines.
g. Use clean, dry refrigerant oil which should be contained in a capped container to reduce the
possibility of the oil absorbing moisture and dirt.
h. Replace 0-rings when a connection has been broken. Dip new 0-rings in refrigeration oil before
using. Do not over-torque connections. (Refer to Table XIII-VII.)
i. To insure a consistent seal on all flared and pipe fittings used on the air' conditioning system, seal
the fittings with Loctite refrigerant sealant.
j. Torque all flare fittings. (Refer to Table XIII-VII.)

13-97. TEST GAUGE AND MANIFOLD SET. The proper testing and diagnosis of the air conditioning
system requires that a manifold gauge set be attached to the system. This set consists of two gauges mounted
to a manifold. One gauge is a high pressure gauge used in the discharge side of the system. The other is a low
pressure gauge used in the suction side of the system. The manifold is a device having fittings for both gauges
and connection hoses with provisions ·for controlling the flow of refrigerant through the manifold. (See
Figure 13-27.)
The center port of the manifold set is used for charging or evacuation procedures or any other service
that may be necessary.
Both the high and low side of the manifold have hand shutoff valves. When the hand valve is turned all
the way in, in a clockwise direction, the manifold is closed. The pressures on that side of the system will,
however, be recorded on the gauge above the hose.
Cracking the hand valve, in the counterclockwise direction, opens the system to the middle service port
of the manifold set. This is desirable only when it is necessary to let refrigerant out or into the system.
13-98. CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS. This may be accomplished easier and safer by using an
electronic leak detector. These are compact electronic type units which sense freon. They may be
purchased from TIF INSTRUMENTS, 9101-T NW 74th St., Miami, Florida 33150, or the KENT-MOORE
Corporation whose address is listed above.
a. Connect a manifold gauge set into the system and charge the system. (Refer to Charging the
System.) A minimum of 50 psi is needed for leak detection.
b. Close the low side manifold valve and open the high side manifold valve.
c. Open the refrigerant container service valve and allow the pressure at the low side gauge to reach
50 psi, at which time close the high side manifold valve.
d. Close the refrigerant container service valve and remove the hose if no leaks are evident.
e. It is advisable to use an electronic leak detector to check this system instead of an open flame
leak detector.

PA-31T and PA-31Tl
5E4
f. If any leaks are found. purge the system of refrigerant. Make the necessary repairs and check the
compressor oil.
g. Add oil if required: then repeat Steps a thru e.
h. If no further leaks are found. the system may be evacuated and charged.
CAUTION
Many electronic leak detectors do not reduce the hazard of

igniting an explosive mixture. Read the instructions supplied with
the unit and be sure to properly ventilate any area to be checked.
13-99. EVACUATING THE SYSTEM. If the system has been operated in a discharged condition or any
time the system has been open to atmospheric pressure. the receiver-dryer must be replaced. and the system
evacuated to remove any trapped air and moisture which has entered it. In the following procedure, the
specification of 28 inches of vacuum is used. This figure is based on performing the operation at an
elevation at or near sea level. For every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level, the specification should be
lowered one inch. As we lower the pressure in the air conditioning system, we lower the boiling
temperature of the water (moisture) that may be present. Then we are able to pull this water in the form of
vapor out of the system. Table XIII-Vlll demonstrates the effectiveness of moisture removal under a given
vacuum:
a. Remove the cowling from the right engine. (Refer to Section VIII.)
CAUTION
Ascertain that all system pressure is released before attempting the

evacuation. (Refer to Paragraph 13-93.)
b. Connect the gauge set J-23575 to the vacuum pump and refrigerant charging drum as shown in
Figure 13-28. Use J-5420 Schrader valve adapters to connect gauge lines to the Schrader valve fittings at the
compressor and evaporator control valve. (Refer to Figure 13-28.)
c. Open gauge set high and low pressure valves and start vacuum pump. Pull a vacuum of (refer to
Table XIll-VIII). Close gauge set valves and vacuum pump valve. Shut off vacuum pump. If a loss of vacuum
exceeds 2 inches in five minutes, the system leaks. Check all system cpnnections for proper tightness.
d. If system does leak, crack open refrigerant drum valve and the low pressure gauge valve and allow
system to charge to drum pressure. Close drum valve. Using a refrigerant leak tester, first check system for
leaks. Correct leaks and repeat procedure until leaks are eliminated.
e. When system no longer leaks, proceed to evacuate the system.
f. Discharge refrigerant from system: then open both gauge set valve and start vacuum pump: then
open vacuum pump valve.
NOTE
DO NOT discharge refrigerant through vacuum pump.
g. Allow pump to run for 15 minutes at a vacuum of (tefer to Table XIII-VIII). Close the high
pressure gauge valve and vacuum pump valve; then stop vacuum pump. The system is now ready for
charging.
NOTE
The system should be charged as soon as it has been evacuated.

instructions given in Paragraph 13-99, one of the following procedures should be used to charge the system:
Method 1: WITH A CHARGING STAND. This is the preferred method of charging the system.
a. Be certain all valves on charging stand are closed. (Refer to Figure 1-3-29.)
b. Connect high pressure gauge line with adapter J-5420 attached to the compressor discharge
Schrader valve fitting. (Refer to Figure 13-28.)
c. Tum high pressure control one tum counterclockwise (open). Crack open low pressure valve and
allow refrigerant gas to lightly hiss from low pressure gauge line for 3 seconds. Then connect low pressure
gauge line (with adapters J-5420) to low pressure gauge fitting on evaporator control valve.
d. With charging stand installed as previously described, remove low pressure gauge line at
evaporator control valve.
e. Crack open high and low pressure control valves on stand and allow refrigerant to purge from
system. Purge slow enough so that oil does not escape from system along with refrigerant.
f. When refrigerant flow nearly stops, connect low pressure gauge line to evaporator control valve.
g. Tum on vacuum pump and open vacuum control valve.
h. With system purged as above, run pump until 26 to 28 inches of vacuum is obtained. Continue to
run pump for 15 minutes after the system reaches 26 to 28 inches vacuum. (Refer to Table XIII-VIII.)
NOTE
In all evacuating procedures, the specification of 26 to 28 inches

of mercury vacuum is used. These figures are only attainable at or
near sea level. For each 1000 feet above sea level where this
operation is being performed, the specifications should be lowered
by one inch.

PA-31T and PA-31T1
5E7
i. If 26 to 28 inches of vacuum (corrected to sea level) cannot be obtained, close vacuum control
valve and shut off vacuum pump. Open refrigerant control valve and allow some refrigerant to enter system.
Locate and repair all leaks. (Refer to Checking System for Leaks.)
j. After evacuating for 15 minutes, add 1/2 pound of refrigerant to system as described in Step i
above. Purge this 1/2 pound andre-evacuate for 15 minutes. This second evacuation is to make sure that as
much contamination is removed from the system as possible.
k. Only after evacuating as above, is the system ready for charging. Note reading on sight glass for
charging cylinder. If it does not contain a sufficient amount for a full charge, fill to the proper level.
1. Close low pressure valve on charging stand. Fully open stand refrigerant control valve and allow
all liquid refrigerant to enter the system. When a 5 pound charge of refrigerant has entered system, turn off
refrigerant control valve.
m. If full charge of refrigerant will not enter system, close high pressure control and refrigerant
control valves. Start engine and run at idle with compressor operating. Crack refrigerant control valve and
low pressure control on stand. Watch low side gauge and keep gauge below SO psi by regulating refrigerant
control valve. Closing valve will lower pressure. This is to prevent liquid refrigerant from reaching the
compressor while the compressor is operating. When required charge has entered system, close refrigerant
control valve and close low pressure control.
n. System is now charged and should be performance tested before removing gauges.
Method 2: REFRIGERANT DRUM METHOD. (Refer to Figure 13-30.)

a. DISCHARGING THE SYSTEM:
1. Close both valves on the gauge set J-23575. Connect the high pressure hose from the gauge
set with adapter J-5420 attached to the compressor discharge Schrader valve fitting. Connect the low
pressure hose from the gauge set with adapter J-5420 attached to the evaporator control valve.
b. EVACUATING THE SYSTEM: (Refer to Paragraph 13-99.)
c. CHECKING THE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS: (Refer to Paragraph 13-98.)
d. CHARGING THE SYSTEM- FULL CHARGE: The refrigerant supply or source may be a drum,
cylinder, can or other type of container. Only refrigerant vapor should be charged into the suction side of
the system when the compressor is running. A vapor charge is taken from the top of the refrigerant
container. A liquid charge is taken from the bottom of the refrigerant container, or with the container
inverted, and compressor shut down (not running).
1. Connect a suitable charging line to the gauge set connected to the evacuated system.
2. Purge the gauge set by opening the two valves on the set and opening the valve on the
refrigerant containers. After refrigerant has forced all air out of the hoses and gauge set, retighten the valves
first at the gauge set and then at the refrigerant container.
3. Open the refrigerant supply valve and the high pressure valve on the gauge set to allow 5
pounds of liquid refrigerant to flow into the system. This charge should be measured with a scale that is
accurate to within two ounces, by first weighing the container and then subtracting the required charge.
4. If a full charge cannot be installed per the above procedures, warm the container to a
maximum of 125° F and continue charging the system. If a full charge still cannot be installed, charge with
refrigerant vapor per Step 5.
5. Close both valves on the gauge set. Operate the engine at idle setting and have the
airconditioner on. Open the low pressure valve until the remainder of the charge has entered the system.
Close the container valve when the proper charge is reached, this will allow the compressor to draw in any
refrigerant left in the line. Then close the low pressure valve on the gauge set.

a. Make sure that the circuit protector is off for the air conditioning system.
b. Remove cowling from right engine. (Refer to Section VIII.)
c. Disconnect the electrical leads to the magnetic clutch on the compressor.
d. Discharge the system and disconnect the high and low pressure lines at the compressor.
e. Loosen the jam nut on the adjustment rod; then loosen the mounting bolts on top and remove the
bottom ones.
f. Run the adjustment up to relieve tension on the adjustment rod.
g. Remove the top clevis pin to disconnect the adjustment rod.
h. Move the compressor IN to relieve tension on the belt.
1. Slip the belt off the compressor pulley.
J. Support the compressor; remove the mounting bolts and remove the compressor from the nacelle.
NOTE
A normally running frigidaire compressor will retain approximately

6.5 oz. of refrigerant oil during operation. If it becomes necessary to
replace an old compressor. it is important that the new compressor
contain the same amount of refrigerant oil as that contained in the
compressor being replaced. This procedure should not be confused
with that given under Checking and Adding Oil, given in Paragraph
13-107 (which procedure is for checking total oil in the air condi-
tioning system).

PA-31T and PA-31Tl
5Ell
k. While working over a draining tray, and with the clutch end up, completely drain the sump and
remove the protective plate from the end of the compressor. Rotate the compressor shaft with a socket wrench
several revolutions to force the oil from the piston tops.
NOTE
Measure the amount ofoil drained from the old compressor. The
new compressor to be installed should contain an equal amount of
oil as that removed from the old compressor (approximately 6.5 oz.
for frigidaire compressors). Sankyo compressors add 1 oz. to the
amount drained from the old compressor.
13-104. BELT INSPECTION. (Refer to Figure 13-32.) Belt conditions, alignment. and tension are very
critical. Carefully inspect old belts and the new belts before replacement. The existence of any one of the
following conditions is sufficient cause for rejection of a belt.
a. Unevenness - look for areas where the inter flat area is uneven.
b. Cords broken or fuzzy or where the cord appears to be coming out of the belt.
c. Holes in belt side wall.
d. Obvious flaws in the belt, such as lumps, thin spots, etc.
13-105. INSTALLATION OF COMPRESSOR. (Refer to Figure 13-31.)

a. Drain the oil from the new compressor as per instructions in Step k of the preceding paragraph.
Refill the unit with the same amount of oil as removed from the old unit. It should be approximately 6.5 oz. for
the Frigidaire compressors. For Sankyo compressors add I oz. to the amount drained from the old
compressor. The oil from the new compressor can be reused if it is drained into a clean container and filtered
before being reused.
b. Place the compressor in the nacelle and attach with the mounting bolts.
c. Slip the belt on the compressor pulley.
d. Attach the compressor adjustment rod.
e. Adjust the rod and tighten the mounting bolts. Refer to Table XIII-IX for the required belt tension.

13-106. LEAK TESTING THE COMPRESSOR. With ToolJ-9625 installed on compressor(referto Figure
13-33) leak test the compressor as follows:
a. Using the J-23575 gauge set, connect the center hose to the refrigerant drum and the high and low
pressure Schrader valves.
b. With the high pressure valve and the low pressure valve open, allow refrigerant to flow to the
compressor.
c. Open the oil plug fitting in the compressor housing and allow the air to exhaust until refrigerant
starts to flow from the fitting.
d. Close the oil plug fitting and allow the drum pressure. to stabilize in the compressor.
e. Check· and correct any leaks that may exist.
f. Remove gauge set and cap fittings on Tool J-9625: then add oil as outlined under Checking and
Adding Oil.

PA-31T and PA-31Tl
5E13
13-107. CHECKING AND ADDING OIL (Frigidaire Compressor). Compressor oil will not be lost unless a
freon leak has occurred: therefore. the oil level is not to be checked unless a freon leak has occurred. How ever.
it is possible to lose freon from the system without loss of compressor oil. It is then a matter of good judgment
as to whether the oil level is to be checked. If any major loss of oil has occurred, proceed as follows after making
the necessary repairs. (Refer to Figure 13-31.)
a. Remove belt.
b. Support the compressor and remove the top mounting bolt.
c. Rotate the compressor 30 degrees from horizontal.
d. If the engine has not been operated within the last hour, it will be necessary to warm the compressor
case for 15 minutes by a light source or heat gun. The compressor must be slightly warmer than the rest of the
air conditioning system to drive out all liquid freon, otherwise a diluted oil reading will be obtained. Do not
overheat the compressor.
e. Loosen the oil drain screw and allow oil to drain from the compressor.
f. If the system is under pressure, the oil will come out of the drain with considerable force and care
must be exercised not to lose an excessive amount of oil. If the syS'tl!m is not under pressure, the drain screw
may have to be removed to allow the oil to drain. If only oil comes out of the compressor. the oil level is suf-
ficient. If gas escapes from the drain screw, the oil level must be re-established by the alternate procedure given
in Step g.
NOTE
The following alternate procedure must be used if a major freon loss

has occurred. Example: Large oil loss visible at leak location.
g. If an excessive amount of oil is lost during the oil level check. the following alternate procedure must
be used:·
I. Rotate the compressor until the oil drain is vertical and drain all the oil from the compressor.
Allow the freon charge to sloWly discharge through the oil drain.
2. Rotate compressor back and attach to engine.
3. Add 6.5 ounces of refrigerant oil (Frigidaire 525 Viscosity Oil. Suniso No. 5 or Texaco
Capella "E'') to compressor through oil drain.
4. Replace oil drain Screw.
5. Refer to Paragraph 13-105 for compressor installation.
6.. Check system for leaks and recharge per Paragraph 13-100.
13-107a. CHECKING COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL (Sankyo Compressor). (S/N 31T-8304001 and up.)
Whenever a system component has been replaced or there is an obvious leak, use the following procedure to
check the compressor oil level (after making necessary repairs): (Refer to Figure 13-33a.)
a. Run the compressor for 10 minutes with engine at idle RPM.
b. Shut off the engine and slowly discharge the system to prevent loss of oil.
c. Disconnect the belt adjustment turnbuckle, loosen the mount bolt and remove the belts.
d. Rotate the compressor so that the oil filler plug is in a top dead center (TDC) position. This may be
done with use of an angle protractor.
e. Remove plug slowly. this allows refrigerant to separate from oil.
NOTE
The front plate hub has a lobe indexed 180° from TDC of the cam
rotor.

13-135. INSTALLATION OF LINES AND FITTINGS. Freon because of its chemistry, is difficult to confine with
rubber hoses and seals. For this reason an acceptable leak rate has been established, and due to temperature and
system operation the leak rate will vary. Following are some areas of the system which should be inspected to prevent
freon leaks:
a. If leaks are suspected, inspect the flares carefully for tool marks and that the flan::s do not extend over the
fitting collar. (Refer to Figure 13-51.) 1
NOTE
Hoses should not be removed from the compressor fittings unless they
are suspected of damage or leaks. Repetive removal will damage the
hose to fitting seal and thus cause leaks.
NOTE
Reseal joints with Loc-Tite sealer.
b. An area that is subject to damage due to nut over torque is shown in Figure 13-51. Inspect this line
for twist or kinks by looking thru the inboard grill with a flashlight. An alternate method of tightening "B"
nuts in lieu of torque values is as follows:
1. Hand tighten "B" nut while moving the tube from side to side. This will aid in the seating of the
nut and flare to the nipple.
2. With the proper wrench, tighten the nut 114 turn.
3. Loosen the "B" nut and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
c. Flared fittings are sometimes difficult to seal on the hard-to-get fittings, it may. be necessary to
install Seco 7 seals. (Refer to Figure 13-50.) Install Seco 7 seals as follows:
1. Lubricate threads with refrigerant oil.
2. Run nut back and forth on fitting and then tighten finger tight.
3. From the finger tight position tighten flared fitting 1 to 1~ hex flats.
4. If connection is broken, replace seal.
CAUTION
When installing conical seals check for cracks and scored flared ends
and nipple ends. Replace parts as necessary.
d. After assembly or replacement of components, the component and lines should be flushed with
freon. (Refer to flushing Paragraph 13-101.)

13-136. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM (DUKES).
13-137. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION. Pressurization airforthe cabin originates

from the engine bleed port on each engine. The air leaves the bleed port at a maximum temperature of 600° F
and a maximum pressure of 90 psia. It then travels to the intercooler assembly where an air-to-air heat
exchange process takes place. From the intercooler assembly the air is routed through check valves and
proceeds to a Piper designed jet pump where it is further cooled and the pressure is lowered. From the jet pump
this air is routed through the main pressurization line below the cabin floor. It then passes through the
pressurized air control box assembly which controls the flow of air that is to be routed to the cabin or
overboard. If the air is not needed for pressurization, the control box is actuated to discharge the air below the
cabin floor and allowed to flow overboard. When the control box is closed, the air is directed through the
environmental control system and through the air distribution ducts along both sides of the cabin walls. All
controls needed for operation and regulation of cabin pressurization are mounted on the lower left side ofthe
instrument panel, along with instruments to simplify setting and check system operation. Both the cabin
altitude and rate-of-climb adjustments are controlled by the pilot, through the use of the cabin altitude selector
and the cabin rate-of-change control. This unit is electrically operated by the 28-volt DC electrical system of
the aircraft. The rate of ascent or descent is variable from I00 to 1000 feet per minute. A manual cabin altitude
selector overrides the electrical control to permit the manual selection of cabin altitude over a range of sea level
to 10,000 feet above sea level. A filtration assembly is part of the control unit. On earlier models a manually
controlled dump valve is incorporated in the system to unload the cabin pressure, and on later models cabin
pressure is unloaded by lifting the access cover to the emergency gear extension lever. A squat switch on the left
main landing gear prevents the cabin from being pressurized while the airplane is on the ground. A test switch
is incorporated to override the squat switch when testing the system on the ground.

tion system are grouped together to simplify operation. Bo'th the cabin altitude and rate-of-change are
controlled by use of the cabin altitude selector and the cabin rate-of-change control. The altitude instrument
indicates cabin pressure altitude in feet'. and rate-of-climb instrument indicates the rate in feet per minute of
cabin altitude change. The cabin differential pressure gauge indicates the difference between the cabin interior
and the outside atmosphere. A differential pressure warning light is incorporated within the annunciator light
unit 1system to warn the pilot if the cabin differential pressure exceeds the limit specified for the aircraft (refer
to Table XIII-XI for the differential pressure switch settings). A manually controlled dump valve is in-
corporated in the system to unload the cabin pressure rapidly. The dump valve is included on earlier models
only, and on later mo.dels cabin pressure is unloaded by lifting the access cover to the emergency gear extension
lever located on the floor between the pilot and copilot seats. The aircraft is not approved for landing with the
cabin pressurized. A squat switch on the left main landing gear prevents the cabin from being pressurized while
the aircraft is on the ground. A test switch is used to override the squat switch when testing the pressurization
system before takeoff.
NOTE
Any service to the pressurization system should be accomplished

by a shop which is equipped and has qualified personnel to
perform this service.

13-139. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

a. The following steps should be performed before takeoff to insure proper functioning of the
pressurization system:
I. Set engine power levers to obtain 70% compressor speed.
2. Set manual air control lever in the pressurized air position.
3. Set cabin altitude selector above field evaluation (500 feet).
4. On earlier models only, ascertain that the manual dump control is closed.
5. Activate the test switch to bypass the landing gear squat switch.
CAUTION
Do not open windows or door when cabin is pressurized. Injury to

personnel and damage to aircraft may result.
NOTE
The system is now in the process of pressurizing the cabin. The

cabin rate-of-climb instrument should be observed for a slight
descent indication to show that the system is operating. Activate
the test switch for 10 seconds or until it is evident pressurization is
stopping. If the cabin rate of dive is greater than 2000 feet per
minute or the cabin differential pressure goes higher than l I 2 psi,
check for system malfunction.
6. Release the test switch. This will automatically return to the OFF position and stop the
pressurization of the cabin.
b. The following steps should be performed to reset the cabin altitude:
l. After takeoff. set the cabin altitude selector to th.e desired cabin altitude.
2. On earlier models move the cabin ascend, descend switch to the particular mode of operation.
3. Adjust the rate-of-change control to more than one-fourth of the aircraft's rate of climb or
descent (select rate which is comfortable to the passengers).
4. Before descending, reset the cabin altitude selector to field elevation plus 500 feet.
5. On earlier models set the cabin ascend, descend switch to descend position.
6. Adjust the rate-of-change control for a comfortable rate of descent.
NOTE
When the airplane reaches pattern altitude, the cabin differential

pressure sh'ould be nearly equalized. Do not land with more than
one-half psi cabin differential.

5F23
13-140. CABIN PRESSURIZATION CHECK. A pressurization check should be conducted whenever 5.30
to 5.50 psi cabin differential cannot be maintained at 70% compressor Ng speed and/ or during every
500-hour inspection. The major areas to be considered when troubleshooting the pressurization system are:
a. The engines and bleed air system.
b. The cabin pressurization control system.
c. The pressurized capsule of the fuselage.
There are two methods of performing these checks; one is a flight check using the instructions given in
Paragraph 13-139: the other is with the use of a special test unit which can be purchased through Piper
Aircraft Corporation, and the instructions given in Paragraph 13-141. This test unit makes it possible to
perform checks b and c in the hangar or shop without operating the engines.
During check a, a normal system will show a momentary rise in cabin altitude followed by a return to
a stable condition on the cabin rate-of-climb indicator when the er,gines are both throttled to 70o/c
compressor Ng speed. In order to check for leak rate without the test unit, the aircraft must be tlown to
\3,000 feet: the controller set to 1000 feet; the aircraft pressurized, and the following steps performed:
a. Set the props to 2000 RPM.
b. Set torque to 800 foot-pounds.
c. Establish a 1000 feet per minute rate-of-aircraft descent.
d. Slowly pull the power levers back to 70% Ng speed (gas generator speed).
e. Check the cabin altitude and rate of change.
A normal system may show a momentary cabin climb which will stabilize to a constant cabin
altitude or show a rate of descent. If this does not occur and the cabin shows a continuous rate of climb;
then check for excessive leakage in the cabin pressurization system.
NOTE
There are several uncapped vent ports in both the front and rear
pressure bulkheads. These vent ports must remain open and should
not be closed off in any way.
13-141. PRESSURIZATION CHECK WITH TEST UNIT. (Refer to Figures 13-53 and 13-54.) The
following pressurization test procedure is used to determine if the aircraft fuselage has an acceptable
leakage rate. A pressurization test unit as shown in referenced figures will be required to perform the
pressurization test.
a. Aircraft Preparation:
I. Remove the access panel on the left side of the right nacelle. Also, remove the access panel on
the left side of the tail section at station 275.0 to gain access to the rear of the pressure bulkhead.
2. Remove the trim panel in front of the isobaric and safety valves and disconnect the bleed
line from the isobaric valve. Place a protective cap over the line fitting on the bulkhead.
4. Move the pressurization control lever to the pressurized position.
5. Insure the access cover to the emergency gear extension lever is closed, and on earlier
models. insure dump valve control is closed.
b. Test Unit Hookup:
1. Disconnect the pneumatic line rubber hose connection at nacelle station 121.5 and connect
the instrument air line from the test unit to the pneumatic line that goes back through the nacelle. Plug the
other side of the pneumatic line. (Refer to Figure 13-54, Sketch A.)
2. Disconnect and remove the fresh air distribution tube from the air distribution box. Cap the
hose from the distribution box with a cap plug fabricated per Figure 13-55.

3. Connect the pneumatic or pressurizing air line from the test unit to the distribution tube at
the forward pressure bulkhead per Figure 13-54. Make the connection using a fabricated reducer as shown
in Figure 13-56.
4. Remove the protective plug from the fitting identified by the placard stating "Cabin
Pressure Test" located on 'the forward pressure bulkhead (station 81). Connect the cabin reference line
from the test unit to the fitting. (Refer to Figure \3-54.)
5. Connect the test unit to a source of pressurized shop air and electrical power.
c. Test Unit Operation:
1. Deactivate all circuit breakers of operable systems except the cabin pressure control and
door seal circuit breakers. Turn on the aircraft electrical power to activate the cabin door seal system.
2. If the airplane has not been placed on jacks, it will be necessary to disconnect electrical
power to the vacuum relief solenoid, located above the pilot's rudder pedals behind the instrument panel,
to prevent a leak path in the system.
3. Set the pneumatic system pressure on the test unit with the regulator control knob to 20
psi. A readjustment may be necessary after door seal inflation of 10 seconds.
4. Turn the flow rate valve knob to the full bypass position, thus allowing the machine to be
turned on, then start it.
5. Turn the flow rate knob in, or to the full increase as fast as possible to obtain an input rate
of flow to the cabin that will exceed the allowable leak rate from the cabin. This differential pressure is
needed to close the isobaric and safety valves thus allowing the cabin to begin ~o pressurize. As the valves
begin to close, this action is indicated on the test unit by the cabin rate of change indicator reading a dive.
As soon as a dive is indicated, begin to close, or unscrew, the flow rate knob to a position sufficient to
maintain a 2000 foot per minute rate of descent on the rate change indicator. Allow the cabin differential
pressure to rise to 5.0 psi.
NOTE
If no personnel are inside the pressurized cabin, the rate of change

can be as high as 6000 feet per minute.
6. When 5.0 psi is reached on the cabin differential gauge, decrease the main flow rate by
rotating the flow rate knob until the cabin rate of change gauge indicates zero.
7. Maintain 5.0 psi cabin differential and zero on the rate of change gauge by use of the
regulator control on the test unit.
8. Observe the leak rate on the flow gauge. The maximum reading is from 50 to 57 CFM.
NOTE
The reading of the flow gauge on the old unit is taken from the
top of the float in the gauge.
9. A reading over 57 CFM on the flow gauge would indicate a bad leak or series of leaks in the
pressure vessel which would require repair.

5G3
10. After all checks are completed, bring the cabin back down to standard pressure by slowly
closing or unscrewing the large flow rate knob. If no one is inside the cabin, a 6000 foot per minute change
is okay, otherwise do not exceed a 2000 foot per minute change for purposes of comfort of the individual
inside.
CAUTION
The machine cannot be turned off while there is a pressure

differential in the cabin for purposes of rapid depressurization;
however if the machine is unplugged, the latter result will occur
causing serious discomfort to anyone that may be within the
cabin.
11. When the checks have been completed, disconnect all the various test unit connections from
the aircraft and reconnect the original plumbing.
WARNING
Ascertain that the bleed line is reconnected to the isobaric valve

with all vents open and the protective plug installed over the
instrument reference fitting. Reconnect electrical power to the
vacuum relief solenoid valve if previously disconnected.
12. Replace the access panels, trim panels and engine cowling.

13-142. DUMP VALVE FUNCTION (EARLIER MODELS ONLY). The dump valve is manually
controlled by the pilot. When the valve is opened, it releases the pressure in the isobaric feed line to ambient,
allowing the cabin pressure to open the isobaric valve.
13-143. RUPTURE DISC (EARLIER MODELS ONLY). Refer to the latest revision of Piper Service
Letter No. 833.
13-144. ISOBARIC VALVE FUNCTION. Three states of operation exist for the isobaric valve in flight,
they are: open, modulating and closed. The isobaric valve is controlled by the isobaric controller which is
an adjustable aneroid controlled orifice, that stops cabin pressure from reaching the isobaric valve if the
controller is set above the cabin altitude and admits cabin pressure if the controller setting is below the
cabin altitude.
The isobaric valve is constantly bleeding off to ambient. It will be forced open by cabin pressure if the
flow from the controller stops, or it will go shut if the controller flow exceeds the bleed rate.
The OPEN STATE in flight, with full cabin flow, results in an unpressurized cabin.
The MODULATED STATE occurs as the cabin pressure altitude passes through the controller setting.
The CLOSED STATE occurs when the cabin inflow is less than the cabin leak rate.
13-145. ISOBARIC VALVE REMOVAL.

a. Remove the trim panel in front of the safety and isobaric valves located in the rear pressure
bulkhead.
b. Remove the access panel on the left side of the tail section just aft of the entrance door.
c. Disconnect the lines to the isobaric valve, which is the valve located on the left side.
d. Reaching through the tail section access hole, remove the small access plate behind the isobaric
valve.
e. Working through this small access hole, remove the six bolts which secure the isobaric valve in
place.
f. Remove the valve from the pressure bulkhead.
13-146. ISOBARIC VALVE INSTALLATION.

a. Position the isobaric valve onto the shelf in the rear pressure bulkhead. Ascertain that a new
gasket is installed between the valve and shelf surface.
b. Working through the small access opening in the rear of the pressure bulkhead 274.0, install the
six bolts, with new washers, which hold the valve in place and torque them 13 to 17 inch-pounds. (Use the
gasket to hold the six bolts in place prior to positioning the valve.)
c. Install the small access plate on the rear of the pressure bulkhead.
d. Install the access plate on the left side of the tail section.
e. Connect the pressurization control line to the valve.
f. Install the trim panel in front of the valves after making sure acoustical material is in good
condition.

PA-31T and PA-31Tl
5G5
WARNING
Any time maintenance is performed on the pressurization system,

the aircraft's pilot must be ready to lift the emergency gear
extender cover if a runaway pressurization is noted. (See Step e of
Paragraph 13-154.)
13-147. SAFETY VALVE FUNCTION. The safety valve is closed in flight and only opens to control at
slightly above normal full differential, if the isobaric valve fails to function.
13-148. SAFETY VALVE REMOVAL.

b. Remove the access panel on the right side of the tail section aft of station 274.
c. Disconnect the line to the safety valve.
d. Reaching through the tail section access hole, remove the small access plate behind the safety
valve.
e. Working through the small access hole, remove the six bolts holding the safety valve in place.
13-149. SAFETY VALVE INSTALLATION.

a. Position the safety valve onto the shelf in the rear pressure bulkhead. Ascertain that a new gasket
is installed between the valve and shelf surface. Be sure that the diaphragm spring is adjusted per Paragraph
13-154, a and the diaphragm is level to seat within 1I 16 inch.
b. Working through the small access hole in the rear of the bulkhead, install the six bolts with new
washers, that secure the valve in place. (Use the gasket to hold the six bolts prior to positioning the valve.)
c. Install the small access plate on the rear of the bulkhead.
d. Install the access panel on the right side of the tail section.
e. Connect the line to the valve.
f. Install the 'trim panel in front of the valves after making sure acoustical material is in good
condition.
13-150. ISOBARIC AND SAFETY VALVES COMBINED FUNCTION. The isobaric valve must be held
wide open during full throttle application at takeoff to prevent a cabin pressure rate of dive in excess of
4000 feet per minute. The isobaric valve is held wide open by a vacuum source obtained from an ejector
and is controlled through a normally closed solenoid that is activated by the landing gear squat switch.
The safety valve is also held partially open at the same time through a coil spring assembly. With both
valves open, the initial cabin dive rate is less than 1000 feet per minute during full throttle application at
takeoff.
At lift-off the squat switch on the main gear closes the isobaric solenoid thus removing the vacuum
source allowing the isobaric valve to close to its free state. The safety valve will also slowly close by cabin
pressure bleeding into the safety valve. This closing will raise the unpressurized differential thus overcoming
most of the aircrafts rate of climb. The isobaric control is normally set to begin controlling at 500 feet or
more above the airport runway, at which time the safety valve is completely closed. The closing of the
safety and isobaric valve at full power will produce a small cabin unpressurized differential of about .15
to.25 psi. It is necessary to establish .this small cabin pressure in order to start cabin pressurization.

13-151. ISOBARIC AND SAFETY VALVE CLEANING. Fluctuation of cabin pressure often indicates
dirty isobaric and safety valves. This may be ascertained in the following manner:
a. Working through the tail section access hole in the side of the fuselage, remove the small access
plate behind the isobaric or safety valve.
b. Working through this small access hole, compress the valve bellows and inspect the valve housing
along the inner rim that the bellows contacts when in the extended position.
c. If the inner rim of the housing is dirty, or if the bellows sticks to the inner rim, wash the rim and
bellows with cleaning solvent (Federal Specification P-D-680).
NOTE
There is a tobacco tar filter installed on the isobaric valve. This is a

disposable type filter and must be replaced every 200 hours of
normal use. Refer to the Parts Catalog for part number of
rep lac em en t filter.
13-152. ISOBARIC FILTER REPLACEMENT. (Refer to Figure 13-57.)

bulkhead.
b. Disconnect and remove the filter from the valve.
c. Place teflon tape on the threads of the filter and install in place on the isobaric valve.
d. Install the trim panel in front of the valves.
13-153. ISOBARIC AND SAFETY VALVE SETUP. (Refer to Figures 13-57. and 13-58.) The following
information should prove most helpful in obtaining the best adjustrnen ts of the isobaric and/or safety
valves.
Before any work is done on this system, the following safety precautions should be studied and
thoroughly understood by the people who will do the job, such as the pilot who will fly the airplane and
the mechanic who will make the adjustments.
13-154. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

· a. If a flight is necessary, do not leave any of the plumbing from the pressurization controller to the
isobaric valve disconnected.
b. Do not take off with the isobaric valve bleed screw closed.

5G8 PA·31T and PA-31Tl
CAUTION
Do not close the bleed screw in flight, in an attempt to determine the 1 turn
open nominal starting point. This should be done before the flight starts, on
the ground. If the bleed screw is closed in pressurized flight, the cabin will
immediately be pressurized to 5.5 psi.
c. Do not attempt any adjustments above 15,000 feet in case of depressurization.
d. Do not attempt any adjustment at or near maximum cabin differential as they will have no effect.
e. If an error causes an uncontrolled pressurization, the pilot should use the emergency gear extender
cover to stop the pressurization. The accepted practice to stop pressurization in this situation is to lift
the forward edge of the cover, with his fingers a small amount, to start depressurization; then when the
cabin is depressurized, the cover should be completely removed to prevent repressurization. The rate
of depressurization can be conveniently controlled by the amount the cover is lifted.
13-155. SYSTEM SETUP PROCEDURE. The following items should be checked for their proper condition or
operation:
a. All system lines are secure.
b. The rupture disc is not damaged. (Early models only.)
c. The door seal is functioning.
d. Vacuum is being applied to the isobaric valve before lift-off and released after lift-off.
e. The controller is set for 500 feet above the airport altitude before takeoff.
f. The cabin leak rate is near its proper level.
g. The outside air control valve and overboard dump valve are operating properly and are not leaking.
13-156. ISOBARIC AND SAFETY VALVE ADJUSTMENT. If a new isobaric and/or safety valve has been
installed, the adjustments should be as follows:
a. The safety valve diaphragm spring assembly should be adjusted so that from the top of the jam nut to
the top of the threaded portion should be approximately .110 ± .3 of an inch. Install the spring
assembly into the safety valve three full turns; then tighten the jam nut 4 to 8 inch-pounds. (Refer to
Figure 13-58.)
b. The bleed screw on the isobaric valve should be adjusted one turn open (counterclockwise) from the
closed position (full clockwise). (Refer to Figure 13-57.)
NOTE
Do not close valve so tight that valve seat is damaged.

Interim Revision: 10/15/97 5G9 PA-31T AND PA-31T1
13-157. IN FLIG!IT CHECK. In flight adjustments require the need of a hand carried altimeter and a
rate-of-climb indicator. The following checklist should be used before the actual flight:
I. All system lines connected and secure.
2. Safety valve and isobaric valve not damaged.
3. Rupture disc not damaged. (Earlier models only.)
4. Pressurization dump valve and outside air control valve operating properly.
5. Isobaric valve bleed screw set, ( 1 tum open).
6. Pressurization control lever set.
7. Pressurization controller set.
8. Proper indication from pressurization test switch.
9. Pilot is briefed on the use of the emergency gear extender cover to stop an uncontrolled
pressurization situation.
a. During the ground runup, check that the isobaric valve is fully open. This indicates that
vacuum is being applied to the inside of the valve. When the test switch is activated, the vacuum is released;
check that the diaphragm falls to a position where the sipes just touch the top of the castellations on the
valve. (Refer to Figure 13-57.)
b. Ground setting of the safety valve spring is determined by noting the readings on the hand
carried altimeter and_rate-of-climb indicator.
NOTE
Ascertain that the altimeter is calibrated and set at 29.92 for all
data and use an accurate 2-1/2 diameter rate-of-climb indicator.
13-158. TAKEOFF AND CLIMB PROCEDURE.

a. Accelerate the engines slowly to full power, taking about five seconds to obtain full power.
b. The maximum dive, noted on the hand carried rate of climb, should be about 600 to 800 feet per
minute for best results. However, whatever the reading, note it as the throttle dive.
NOTE
After reading a maximum dive indication, the rate of dive should

start to reduce and approach a zero indication before lift-off.
c. At lift-off, the vacuum applied to the isobaric valve is released, and the isobaric valve diaphragm
will fall to its free state causing an additional dive in the cabin. This rate of dive, showing on the hand
carried instrument, should be about 500 to 1000 feet per minute, and then slowly start to return towards
zero. Note this dive as the vacuum dive.

d. Climbing out at between 1200 and 1500 feet per minute aircraft rate, note the hand carried
rate-of-climb indication.
NOTE
In this phase of flight, the safety valve should be completing its

closing phase of operation.
e. If the safety valve diaphragm is adjusted properly, the cabin rate should be between 500 feet per
minute dive to 800 feet per minute climb. Tolerances and aircraft peculiarities make it virtually impossible
to secure a zero rate for this phase of the flight. Note this phase as the climb out rate. It occurs just after
lift-off and lasts about 15 or more seconds.
NOTE
After the safety valve closes, the cabin rate of climb will increase
to that of the aircraft.
f. Continue the climb out at normal climb power setting when it's safe to do so.
NOTE
Do not confuse the change in cabin rate associated with a power

reduction with any of the rates noted in Paragraph 13-158·, b, c
and e.
g. The cabin rate of climb should begin to decrease from equaling the aircraft rate and slowly
approach zero as the cabin altitude approaches the controller setting. Example: If the controller is set at
the number ( 1) window on the controller dial, the cabin should be near zero rate of climb when the cabin is
at I 000 feet as indicated on the hand carried altimeter.
NOTE
The controller may be as much as 500 feet off from the hand
carried altimeter. It should be noted that the system has been
designed, to have all the ~rrors give a higher cabin altitude than
selected, in order that optimum performance can be obtained. Do
hot attempt to remove this error if less than 500 feet.

13-159. ADJUSTMENT OF DIAPHRAGM SPRING. The throttle dive, vacuum dive, and climb out dive
gives an indication as to the spring adjustment to be made. Study the data and decide if the throttle dive
and vacuum dive is high, normal or low (700 feet per minute being normal). Determine if the climb out rate
is a high dive rate, normal rate or a high climb rate (500 feet per minute dive to 800 feet per minute climb
is the normal rate).
Decide which of the titled paragraphs below covers the particular problem and follow the directions. It
will be a big help in understanding the problem to watch the isobaric and safety valve diaphragms together
with the hand carried instruments during the takeoff and climb out phase of the flight. Removing the valve
trim cover at the aft pressure bulkhead will not affect the data.
a. Throttle Dive (Low) and Climb Out Rate (High Climb Rate).
If the throttle dive is low, 600 feet per minute or less, and if the climb out rate is more than 800
feet per minute climb, adjust the safety valve spring to relieve tension (close safety valve diaphragm).
NOTE
To relieve spring tension, screw the springs lower seat

counterclockwise looking at the seat. These adjustments must be
made after flight, on the ground. The cover plates on the pressure
bulkhead may b~ left off until all adjustments have been
completed. Normally one full turn of the spring seat will secure
the desired results. However, if the aircraft will not pressurize, the
safety valve spring seat may have to be turned counterclockwise
two or more turns. Do not confuse the high rate of cabin climb
after the safety valve closes and before stabilized cabin
pressurization with climb out dive. (Refer to Paragraph 13-158, c.)
b. Throttle Dive (High) and Climb Out Rate (High Dive Rate).
If the throttle dive is much greater than 800 feet per minute and the climb out dive is greater
than 500 feet per minute dive, adjust the safety valve spring seat clockwise to increase spring tension.
Experience indicates from 1/2 to 1 turn of spring seat adjustment will change the rate about 500 feet per
minute. Do not make changes of over 2 turns at one time and try to leave the cabin diving slightly during
the climb out rate phase of flight.

PA-31T and PA-31Tl

PIPER CHEYENNE· SERVICE MANUAL
c. If the dive due to throttle advance is high with little lift-off dive, the indication is that vacuum is
not being applied to the isobaric valve.
If the dive due to throttle advance is normal with little lift-off dive, the indication is that vacuum
is not being released from the isobaric valve at lift-off.
If the dive due to throttle advance is normal with a very high rate of cabin dive at lift-off, the
indication would be that the bleed screw is closed too far.
NOTE
If a high cabin dive rate is noted just after lift-off (3000 feet per
minute or greater) and does not quickly subside, the pilot should
lift and slowly remove the emergency gear extender cover to stop
the pressurization. The indication is that the bleed screw is closed
too far or a leak is indicated in the pressurization system.
If the aircraft will not pressurize, check the following items:

1. Emergency gear extender cover leaking.
2. Main door seal inoperative.
3. Safety valve diaphragm spring tensioned too tight.
4. Controller improperly set before takeoff.
5. Safety valve has a tendency to stick from the aircraft not being flown for a period of
time.
The last two items can sometimes be corrected in flight by the following procedure:
1. Accelerate engines to full power.
2. Tum pressurization controller to minimum altitude position and note cabin
rate-of-climb indicator.
3. If the procedure is going to work, the cabin rate of dive should increase to about 3000
feet per minute. ·
4. When the above high dive rate is noted, tum the controller smoothly to 500 feet below
the aircraft altitude.
5. Decrease power to climb or cruise power to help moderate cabin bump that will occur.
6. Use rate control to bring cabin to desired level.
The above procedure will cause an obvious cabin pressure bump, but if the procedure is followed,
it will not cause personal discomfort.
13-160. CABIN ALTITUDE CONTROLLER.
13-161. REMOVAL OF CONTROLLER.

a. Disconnect the electrical connector and the bleed air line from the rear of the cabin altitude
controller central assembly. Cap the open ports of the bleed air line and fitting on the selector to prevent
dust from entering the system.
b. Remove the four machine screws and nuts (later aircraft have anchor nuts), which secure the
selector to the instrument panel. It may be necessary to remove the cabin pressure and cabin rate-of-change
instruments to gain access to the nuts.
c. The cover plate of the circuit breaker panel may have to be removed to provide clearance for the
altitude selector removal from the instrument panel.
d. Remove the controller by lifting the assembly from the face of the instrument panel.

13-162. INSTALLATION OF CONTROLLER.

a. Position the controller into the instrument panel cutout from the face side of the panel.
b. Secure the controller to the instrument panel with four machine screws and nuts. Install the
cabin pressure and cabin rate-of-change instruments, if they were removed during the removal of the cabin
altitude controller.
c. Install and secure the cover plate of the circuit breaker panel if it was removed during the
removal of the selector.
d. Remove the protective caps from the bleed air ports of the selector fitting and bleed air line and
connect the line to the fitting; also connect the electrical connector to the rear of the controller.
13-163. CONTROLLER FILTER REPLACEMENT. (Refer to Figure 13-59.) There is a tobacco tar filter
installed in the pressurization system cabin controller. This is a disposable type fllter which should be
replaced every 200 hours of normal use. Refer to the Parts Catalog for part number of replacement filter.
a. The filter is accessible from underneath the instrument panel.

b. Remove the filter from the back of the controller and discard.
c. Place teflon tape on the threads of the new filter and install in place on the controller.
13-164. PRESSURIZATION CONTROLLER CLEANING. (Refer to Figure 13-59.) Fluctuation of cabin

pressurization, when the system is properly set up after takeoff, could be caused by a sticking poppet valve
in the pressurization controller, located in the lower left corner of the instrument panel. The cause of this
problem is tobacco deposits on the poppet valve. The degree of fluctuation depends on how long the
deposits have been present and how much smoking occurs in the cabin during flights. The following
information should be used to clean the poppet valve and correct the problem:
a. Obtain a can of aerosol solvent such as MS-160 "FREON" T-P35 solvent, manufactured by the
Miller-Stephenson Chemical Co., Inc. or an equivalent type.
b. Disconnect the electrical connector and the .250 inch line from the rear of the controller.
WARNING
Wear safety glasses when working with this type of solvent to

prevent the spray from getting into the eyes. The propellent in the
aerosol can is FREON and alcohol, and dangerous freezing of the
eyes could occur if liquid from the can is allowed to touch the
eyes. Do not breath the vapors for a prolonged period of time. If
contact with the eyes occurs, wash immediately with water and
consult a physician.
c. Attach the spray extension to the aerosol can. (Refer to Figure 13-59.)
d. Set the altitude selector on the face of the controller to the lowest altitude position.
e. Insert the spray nozzle about 1.50 inches into the controller through the .250 fitting. (Refer to
Figure 13-59.)
f. Apply solvent for a period of one second and allow two minutes to elapse before applying
another one second application.
g. Using a compressed air nozzle as shown in Figure 13-59, blow into the fitting to remove all
solvent and residue.

NOTE
Cleaning is not a normal maintenance item with properly

maintained tobacco tar filters. Clean only if a sticky poppet is
suspected. Do not use more than 20 psi air pressure at the nozzle.
h. For badly fouled controllers, another application of solvent may be required. (Repeat Step g.)
i. If the cleaning solvent fails to free the poppet valve, the controller must be removed from the
instrument panel for further service.
j. With the controller removed from the panel, remove the four small screws holding the screen or
access plate on the side of the controller and remove cover. Due to the screws being of different lengths, they
should be marked so they may be reinserted in their proper locations. The end of the poppet valve stem is now
accessible. (Refer to Figure 13-59.)
k. Turn the controller selector knob to maximum altitude position, and using a thin screwdriver or
knife blade, depress the end of the poppet stem to break the stickiness. Now clean the poppet as outlined in
Steps e thru h.
l. After cleaning the controller, install the screen or access plate and remount the unit in the airplane.
Reconnect the .250 inch line and electrical connection, being careful to prevent any leaks at the .250 inch
fitting.
13-165. TESTING CABIN ALTITUDE CONTROLLER. Replace controller when any one of the test
procedures fail described in Paragraphs 13-165 thru 13-169.
13-166. ELECTRICAL TEST OF THE CABIN ALTITUDE CONTROLLER. (Refer to Figure 13-66.)
NOTE
Electrical test may be performed with the controller in the airplane

or on the bench.
a. Connect electrical test harness, which may be fabricated as per Figure 13-60, to controller.
b. With power to the controller and the ascend/ descend switch on earlier models in the OFF position.
select an altitude change with the outer altitude change ring.
NOTE
Altitude select knob should not move.
c. Time the altitude selector knob movement as follows:

I. Position the ascend/ descend switch to ascend on earlier models and turn the rate of change
knob to full decrease. The selector knob should move 200 ± 150 fee.t per minute.
2. Position the ascend/ descend switch to descend on earlier models and turn the rate of change
knob to full decrease. The altitude selector knob should move 200 ±. 100 feet per minute.
3. Position the ascend/ descend switch to ascend on earlier models and turn the rate of change
knob to full increase. The altitude selector knob should move l 000 .± 200 feet per minute and the ascend light
on earlier models should be on.
4. Position the ascend/ descend switch to descend on earlier models and turn the rate of change
knob to full increase. The altitude selector knob should move 1000 ±. 300 feet per minute and the descend light
on earlier models should be on.
d. Check that the altitude change knob stops within 200 feet at the selected altitude.
e. Check the Electro-Luminescent placard for visibility.

NOTE
Use II 0 volts AC (400 cps) for best placard lighting visibility.
13-167. VACUUM CHECK OF THE CABIN ALTITUDE CONTROLLER. (Refer to Figure 13-60.)
NOTE
Vacuum check controller installed in the airplane.
a. Remove pneumatic control line from the controller and the isobaric valve. Cap the control line at
the controller.
b. Connect a vacuum source with a sensitive rate of change and an altimeter to the control line at the
isobaric valve.
NOTE
The vacuum source must have residual volume of between 10 and

15 cubic inches.
c. On earlier models, close the dump valve control and on later models close the access cover to the
emergency gear extension lever.
d. Check for leaks in the control line by pulling vacuum of 6500 feet above local pressure altitude
and sealing off vacuum source. After the initial dive indication, the rate should settle to 100 feet per minute
or less. If the leak is more than 100 feet per minute the leak should be found and corrected.
c. Remove the cap from the control line at the controller and connect the line to the cabin
controller.
f. Position the altitude selector to 5000 feet above the local altimeter setting and pull vacuum
equivalent of 6500 feet of altitude.
g. Seal off the vacuum source and after the initial dive indication, the rate should settle to no more
than 400 feet per minute.
13-168. VACUUM RELIEF CHECK FOR CABIN ALTITUDE CONTROLLER. (Refer to Figure 13-
60.)
NOTE
Check vacuum relief of cabin controller in the airplane.
a. Set the altitude selector to 5000 feet above the local altimeter setting, and pull vacuum
equivalent to 6500 feet of altitude.
b. Turn the altitude selector slowly toward the local pressure altitude. The vacuum should be lost
when the controller setting reaches 1500 to 1000 feet above the local pressure altitude. A rapid increase in
rate of dive will be indicated on the test system rate of climb indicator.
13-169. CALIBRATION CHECK FOR CABIN ALTITUDE CONTROLLER. Before checking

calibration, make a vacuum check and a vacuum relief check.

NOTE
Calibration check can only be made with the controller installed in

the airplane.
a. Fly aircraft level at I 000 feet below the altitude equivalent to maximum differential with cabin
set to sea level. Approximately 11,000 feet aircraft altitude.
b. With hand carried sensitive altimeter set to 29.92, record the cabin altitude at various controller
altitude settings.
c. If the resulting cabin altitudes are within ±300 feet of those selected the unit is in calibration.
d. If it is determined that the controller is out of calibration, refer to Paragraph 13-170 for the
calibration procedure.
13-170. CALIBRATION OF CONTROLLER. (Refer to Figure 13-62.) There are two methods by which.
the controller may be calibrated. Method I is suggested as the easiest, while Method II used only if Method I
will not correct the error.
Method I
a. The aircraft should be flown to 11,500 feet and the controller should be progressively set at
1,000 3,000, 5,000 7,000 and 9,000 feet, and the resulting cabin altitude noted from an accurate, hand
carried sensitive altimeter, which had been set at 29.92 in. barometric pressure.
b. Care should be exercised in setting the altitude knob accurately on the selected altitude
constantly thru out the test. The readings obtained from this test will allow you to compensate the average
error. Any error noted must be consistant on either the high or low side to be correctable.
c. If the error noted is 300 feet or less, the condition can be corrected by positioning the knob at
5,000 feet and then using a .078 allen key, loosen the two screws holding the knob and re-position the
knob (either high or low) to compensate for the average deviation and then re-tighten the screws.

5G18 PA·31T and PA·31Tl
NOTE
Do not remove the knob during this procedure, as shim washers

may be lost. If the knob is accidently removed and shims are lost,
the only way that the knob can be replaced is to hold a .032 shim
between the knob and the face plate with the knob at the sea level
position and then re-tighten the screws and remove the shim. This
will allow a .031 clearance between the knob and face plate.
d. If the error removed by repositioning the selector knob was more than 300 feet or if the internal
stops in the controller prevents either the sea level or 10,000 foot position to be selected, then the
controller must by removed from the airplane and the steps outlined in Method II must be followed.
Method II. (Refer to Figure 13-61.)

a. If the error in calibration is more than 300 feet or the two extreme stops cannot be reached as
mentioned in Method I, then the controller must be removed from the panel and an internal adjustment
must be made. This is accomplished by removing the round black tab on the side of the case and by using a
.050 allen key, the longest screw on the hex plate (which acts as a stop) is loosened and the hex plate re-
positioned so that when the stop screw is re-tightened the controller knob will reach approximately 500
feet below sea level and above 10,000 feet when rotated thru full travel.
NOTE
Use only allen keys in good condition and of proper strength as

the torque necessary to unloosen and tighten the screws will round
the sockets if this suggestion is not followed.
b. To preclude the set screw and hex plate from falling aft of the shaft while making this
adjustment, it is recommended that the controller be held in the palm of your hand with the face up and
that the allen key be kept on the screw at all times during this procedure.
c. When calibration is completed, the tab is reapplied to the opening and the unit is then ready to
install in the aircraft.
13-171. DOOR SEAL SYSTEM.
13-172. DESCRIPTION OF DOOR SEAL SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure 13-61 . ) The door seal system
receives its' pressure from both engine bleed air ports. This bleed air leaves the engines at a temperature of
600 ° F and a pressure of 90 psi. It then travels to the intercoolers (1) where the heat exchange process is
taking place. As the air is cooled it is routed thru check valves and on to a tee in the line at which location a
water separator (5) is mounted. This separator removes any moisture from the air before it enters the
pressure regulator (6). This regulator decreases the system pressure from 90 psi. down to 18 psi. +1,-3 psi.,
for door seal and deicer operation (Refer to Section XIV, for Deicer System). Pressure regulator (6) is
backed up by a pressure relief valve (7) which cracks open at 21 psi. and becomes full open at 26 psi.
should the regulator (6) fail to open. The regulated air is then routed to a three way valve (8) which directs
the air to the door seal (9) or dumps the pressure overboard when pressurization is not desired.

13-173. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM (GARRETT).
13-174. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION. Pressurization air for the cabin originates
from the engine bleed port on each engine. The air' leaves the bleed port at a maximum temperature of 600° F
and a maximum pressure of90 psi. It then travels to the intercooler assembly where an air-to-air heat exchange
process takes place. From the intercooler assembly the air is routed through a check valve and proceeds to a
Piper designed jet pump where it is mixed with ambient air and the pressure is lowered. This air then proceeds
to the main pressurization line below the cabin floor. It then passes through the pressurized air control box
assembly which controls the flow of air that is to be routed to the cabin or overboard. If the air is not needed for
pressurization, the control box is actuated to discharge the air below the cabin floor and allowed to flow over-
board. When the control box is closed, the air is directed through the environmental control system and
through the air distribution ducts along both sides of the cabin walls. All controls needed for operation and
regulation of cabin pressurization are mounted on the lower left side of the instrument panel. along with
instruments to simplify the setting and checking of system operation. Both the cabin altitude and rate-of-climb
adjustments are made by the pilot, through the use of the cabin altitude selector and the rate-of-change
control. This unit is operated pneumatically from the vacuum supply. The rate of ascent or descent is variable
from 175 .±. 125 feet per minute to 2500 ±. 500 feet per minute. A three position electrical dump switch is incor-
porated into the system to unload cabin pressure. A squat switch on the left main landing gear prevents the
cabin from being pressurized while the airplane is on the ground.
13-175. PRESSURIZATION CONTROLS. The controls and instruments used to operate the pressuriza-
tion system are grouped together to simplify operation. The cabin altitude and rate-of-change are controlled
by use of the cabin altitude selector and the cabin rate-of-change control respectively. The altitude instrument
indicates cabin pressure altitude in feet, and the rate-of-climb instrument indicates the rate in feet per minute
of cabin altitude change. The cabin differential pressure gauge indicates the difference between the cabin
interior and the outside atmosphere. A differential pressure warning light unit/ system to warn the pilot if the
cabin differential pressure exceeds the limit specified for the aircraft (refer to Table XI II-XI for the differential
pressure switch settings). An electrical dump switch having three positions (dump. normal and test) is
incorporated in the system to unload cabin pressure rapidly. The aircraft is not approved for landing with the
cabin pressurized. A squat switch ori the left main landing gear prevents the cabin from being pressurized
while the aircraft is on the ground. When testing the pressurization system before takeoff, select the test
position on the dump switch. This will override the squat switch to allow testing of the system.
NOTE
Any service to the pressurization system should be accomplished by

a shop which is equipped and has qualified personnel to perform this
service.

13-176. OPERATING INSTRUCflONS.

a. The following steps should be perfonned before takeoff to insure proper functioning of the
pressurization system:
1. Set cabin altitude selector above field elevation (500 feet).
3. Set engine power levers to obtain 70% compressor speed.
4. Activate the test switch to bypass the landing gear squat switch (test position).
NOTE
Hold test switch and observe the cabin rate-of-climb instrument

for a descent indication. Within 10 seconds a slight rate of descent
should be indicated on the instrument and then returning to zero
which indicates a nonnally operating system.
$. Release the test switch. This will automatically return to the "Nonnal" position and stop
the pressurization of the cabin. The landing gear squat switch will cause the safety valve to open and release
the cabin pressure.
b. Takeoff and letdown procedures are as follows:
1. Set cabin altitude selector above field elevation (500 feet).
3. After the cabin begins to pressurize, select the cruise altitude desired and adjust the cabin
rate-of-climb as desired.
4. Before descending, reset the cabin altitude selector to field elevation plus 500 feet.
5. Adjust the rate-of-change control for a comfortable rate of descent.
NOTE
For a normal letdown, select the 12 o'clock position on the rate

knob. For rapid descents, a higher setting should be selected.
13-177. CABIN PRESSURIZATION CHECK. A pressurization check should be conducted whenever 5.30
to 5.50 psi cabin differential .cannot be maintained at 7CJ% compressor Ng speed and/or during every 500
hour inspection. The major areas to be considered when troubleshooting the pressurization system are:
a. The engines and bleed system.
b. The cabin pressurization control system.
c. The pressurized vessel of the fuselage.
There are two methods of perfonning these checks; one is a flight check the other is with the use of a
special test unit which can be purchased through Piper Aircraft Corporation. The test unit makes it possible
to perform checks b and c in the hanger or shop without operating the engines. During check a, a nonnal
system will show a momentary rise in cabin altitude followed by a return to a stable condition on the
rate-of-climb indicator when the engines are both throttled to 7(1% compressor Ng speed. In order to check
the functions of each element in the cabin pressure control system for malfunctions, the aircraft must be
flown.

NOTE
pressure bulkheads. These vent ports must remain open and should
not be closed off in any way.
13-178. PRESSURIZATION CHECK WITH TEST UNIT. (Refer to Figures 13-53 and 13-54.) The
following pressurization test procedure is used to determine if the aircraft fuselage has an acceptable
leakage rate. A pressurization test unit as shown· in referenced figures will be required to perform the
pressurization test.
l. Remove the access panel on the left inboard side of the right nacelle.
2. Remove the trim panel in front of the isobaric valve and disconnect the control line from the isobaric
valve.
CAUTION
DO NOT disconnect the control line from the safety valve.
4. Move the pressurization control lever to the pressurized position.
b. Test Unit Hookup:
1. Disconnect the pneumatic line rubber hose connection at nacelle station 121.5 and connect
the instrument air line from the test unit to the pneumatic line that goes back through the nacelle. Plug the
other side of the pneumatic line. (Refer to Figure 13-54, Sketch A.)
2. Disconnect and remove the fresh air distribution tube from the air distribution box. Cap the
hose from the distribution box with a cap plug fabricated per Figure 13-55.
3. Connect the pneumatic or pressurizing air line from the test unit to the distribution tube at
the forward pressure bulkhead per Figure 13-54.. Make the connection using a fabricated reducer as shown
in Figure 13-56.
4. Remove the protective plug from the fitting identified by the placard stating "Cabin
Pressure Test" located on the forward pressure bulkhead (station 81 ). Connect the cabin reference line
from the test unit to the fitting. (Refer to Figure 13-54.
5. Connect the test unit to a source of pressurized shop air and electrical power.
1. Deactivate all circuit breakers of operable systems except the cabin pressure control and
door seal circuit breakers. Tum on the aircraft electrical power to activate the cabin door seal system.
2. If the airplane has not been placed on jacks, it will be necessary to disconnect electrical
power to the vacuum relief solenoid, located above the copilot's rudder pedals behind the instrument panel,
to allow the safety valve to close.
3. Set the pneumatic system pressure on the test unit with the regulator control knob to 20
psi. A readjustment may be necessary after door seal inflation of 10 seconds.
4. Tum the flow rate valve knob to the full bypass position, thus allowing the machine to be
turned on, then start it.
5. Tum the flow rate knob in, to maintain a 2000 foot per minute rate of descent on the rate
change indicator. Allow the cabin differential pressure to rise to 5.0 psi.
NOTE

5H7 PA-31T and PA·31Tl
6. When 5.0 psi is reached on the cabin differential gauge, decrease the main flow rate by
rotating the flow rate knob until the cabin rate of change gauge indicates zero.
7. Maintain 5.0 psi cabin differential and zero on the rate of change gauge by use of the
regulator control on the test unit.
8. Observe the leak rate on the flow gauge. The maximum reading is from 50 to 57 CFM.
NOTE
The reading of the flow gauge on the old unit is taken from the top
of the float in the gauge.
9. A reading over 50 to 57 CFM on the flow gauge wou!d indicate a bad leak or series of leaks
in the pressure vessel which would require repair.
NOTE
pressure bulkheads which must remain open.
10. After all checks are completed, bring the cabin back down to standard pressure by slowly
closing or unscrewing the large flow rate knob. If no one is inside the cabin, a 6000 foot per minute change
is okay, otherwise do not exceed a 2000 foot per minute change for purposes of comfort of the individual
inside.
CAUTION
The machine cannot be turned off while there is a pressure

differential in the cabin for purposes of rapid depressurization;
however if the machine is unplugged, the latter result will occur
causing serious discomfort to anyone that may be within the
cabin.
11. When the checks have been completed, disconnect all the various test unit connections from
the aircraft and reconnect the original plumbing.
WARNING
Ascertain that the control line is reconnected to the isobaric valve

and the protective plug installed over the instrument reference
fitting. Reconnect electrical power to the vacuum relief solenoid.
12. Replace the access panels, trim panels and engine cowling.

13-179. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM CHECKOUT PROCEDURE. The following procedure has been
established to systematically check the function of each element of the cabin pressure control system, so that
any single or combination of component malfunctions may be safely detected and corrected. Should a mal-
function be detected it is imperative that the malfunction be corrected before continuing to the next step.
13-180. GROUND CHECK.

a. Select outside air source and the normal position of the dump switch prior to engine start up.
b. Set engine power levers to obtain 52% compressor speed.
c. Set cabin altitude selector above field elevation (500 feet).
NOTE
The isobaric and safety valves should both be wide open. This will
establish function of the isobaric and safety valves, vacuum supply,
solenoid valve, and integrity of the vacuum line, control line and
dump line.
d. Select the test position on the dump switch.
NOTE
The safety valve must close in less than 12 seconds, which indicates
a clear safety valve filter and operation of the test mode of the dump
switch.
13-181. FLIGHT OPERATIONS.

a. Select pressurized air source.
b. Select 5000 feet cabin altitude on the cabin altitude controller.
c. After takeoff. to check the function of the dump mode perform the following steps:
I. Select the dump position on the dump switch.
2. Establish a flight altitude of 4500 feet. Both isobaric and safety valves should be wide open.
d. To assure operation of cabin altitude control, rate operation, volume tank and tank line integrity
perform the following steps:
I. Select the Normal position on the dump switch: the safety valve should be in the closed
position.
2. Select the 12 o'clock position on the rate knob.
3. Slowly rotate the cabin altitude selector knob to 3,000 feet. The isobaric valve should fall
toward its seat.
WARNING
Operator should not exceed 2,000 feet per minute.
4. Select the sea level position on the cabin altitude selector knob and rotate the cabin rate
control knob counterclockwise to its stop and note a cabin rate of climb between -50 and -300 feet per minute.

PA-31T and PA-31Tl
5H9
e. To assure for differential control perform the following steps:

1. When the cabin altitude reaches sea level, climb to, but do not exceed, 14,000 feet; note the
cabin altitude at approximately 1,000 feet and the pressure differential gauge at 5.5 psi.
2. Install a small C-clamp on the isobaric valve ambient sense line and close offthe soft rubber
tube.
NOTE
The cabin altitude should not change more than 400 feet. This shows
the capability of differential control of the safety valve.
3. Remove the C-clamp from the isobaric valve ambient sense line.
4. Install the C-clamp on the safety valve ambient sense line and close off the rubber tube.

13-182. DUMP SOLENOID VALVE FUNCTION. The aircraft is equipped with an electrical dump switch
which activates the vacuum relief solenoid valve. This applies a vacuum to fully open the safety valve, allowing
rapid equalization of the cabin to ambient pressure differential.
13-183. ISOBARIC VALVE FUNCTION. Three states of operation exist for the isobaric valve in flight,
they are: open, modulating and closed. The isobaric valve is controlled by the isobaric controller which is an
adjustable aneroid controlled orifice, that applies a vacuum if the controller setting is above the cabin altitude.
The open state in flight, with full cabin flow, results in an unpressurized cabin.
The modulated state occurs as the cabin pressure altitude passes through the controller setting.
The closed state occurs when the cabin inflow is less than the cabin leak rate.
13-184. SAFETY VALVE FUNCTION. The safety valve is closed during isobaric control, and opens to
control at normal full differential.
NOTE
Check aircraft logbook for compliance with the latest revision of

Garrett Airesearch Service Bulletin No. 52243.
13-185. ISOBARIC AND SAFETY VALVE COMBINED FUNCTION. The isobaric valve is the normal
pressure regulating valve while in flight, and limits the cabin pressure differential at the safety set point, where
as the safety valve is used for backup pressure relief control at the safety set point.
Both the isobaric and safety valves in the system are designed to open automatically and fully when a
negative pressure differential of .43 psi (7" H20) is applied.
The combined capacity of both valves is such that the failure of any one valve would not allow cabin
pressure differential to exceed 5.5 psi.
13-186. ISOBARIC AND/OR SAFETY VALVE REMOVAL.

a. Remove the trim panel in front of the safety and isobaric valves located in the rear pressure bulk-
head.
b. Remove the access panel on the left side of the tail section just aft of the entrance door if the isobaric
valve is being removed or remove the access panel on the right side if the safety valve is being removed.
c. Disconnect the lines to the valve being removed.
d. Reaching through the tail section access hole, remove the small access plate behind the valve being
removed.
e. Working through this small access hole, remove the three locknuts which secure the valve to be
removed.
13-187. ISOBARIC AND/OR SAFETY VALVE INSTALLATION.

a. Position the valve being installed onto the shelf in the rear pressure bulkhead.
b. Working through the small access opening in the rear of the pressure bulkhead install the three
locknuts which hold the valve in place and tighten to metal contact and then backing off 1I 4 turn.
c. Install the small access plate on the rear of the pressure bulkhead.
d. Install the access plate removed from the side of the tail section.
e. Connect the lines removed from the valve.
f. Install the trim panel in front of the valves after making sure acoustical material is in good condi-
tion.

13A-I. INTRODUCTION. This section provides instructions for remedying difficulties which may arise in
the operation of the environmental control system. The instructions are organized so that the mechanic can
refer to: Principles of Operation, for a basic understanding of the systems; for a methodical approach in
locating the difficulty; Corrective Maintenance, for the removal, repair and installation of components; and
Adjustments and Tests, for the operation of the repaired system.
13A-2. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION. The environmental control system for this aircraft consists of
several units working together to furnish a means of pressurization, heating, cooling and dehumidification.
Bleed air from both engines is the prime source of energy to operate the environmental control unit
(ECU). This bleed air system consists of two parts: the ECU bleed air supply and the pneumatic air supply for
deicer boots and gyros. Description of each part follows:
ECU Bleed Air Supply System: The bleed air from each engine is supplied to the ECU through the bleed
air shutoff valve and a shrouded duct arrangement. These tubes join just aft of the main spar where check
valves are installed. This line then joins the pressure regulator valve and bypass control valve ahead of the
forward pressure bulkhead. The pressure regulator and shutoff valve controls the pressure and flow of bleed
air into the ECU located in the right hand equipment compartment just forward of fuselage station 57 pressure
bulkhead. The bypass valve supplies bleed air to the mixing valve during single engine operation. The
regulator valve is closed during single engine operation. Reference to Paragraph 13A-21 titled Heating and
Cooling will give a more detailed description of the various components which make up the heating and
cooling portion of the overall system.
Pneumatic Air Supply System: Bleed air is also used to operate the cabin pressure control system,
inflatable cabin door seal, surface deicer boots and pressure gyro system. This bleed air is taken off the engine
bleed air ducting at two places on the right side of the fuselage just aft of the main spar and are shrouded in HI
temperature silicone hoses. The left and right air taps join at a rolling ball check valve. Air is then directed into
a heat exchanger. A water separator collects water condensed in the system and dumps it overboard. Reference
to Paragraph l3A-4 titled Pressurization will cover that portion of this system in more detailed. Reference to
Section XIV will cover the Deicer System and Section X will cover the Pressure Gyro System.
13A-3. TROUBLESHOOTING. Probable troubles peculiar to the pressurization system components

covered in this section are listed in Table XIIIA-1, along with their probable causes and suggested remedies.
After the trouble has been corrected, check the entire system for security and operation of its components.
13A-4. PRESSURIZATION. Pressurization air for the cabin originates from the engine bleed air port on
each engine. This bleed air is controlled by a solenoid shutoff valve operated by an ON-OFF switch on the
overhead engine switch panel. The bleed air is routed through shrouded annular ducts and check valves up to
the inlet of the EC U.

13A-5. PRESSURIZATION CONTROL. The cabin pressure control system (refer to Figure 13A-I)
consists of the cabin outflow valve, cabin safety valve, cabin pressure controller, auxiliary volume tank, filter,
vacuum solenoid relief valve, cabin pressure test/ dump switch, cabin differential pressure switch, cabin
absolute pressure switches and plumbing and wiring as required. Each of the above items will be given a
detailed description of operation following this general description of the cabin pressure control system.
The cabin safety valve is held open on the ground with the engines operating by a vacuum applied to the
control chamber of the safety valve. The deicer ejector provides a vacuum of approximately 4 inches mercury
referenced to ambient. Engine bleed air is supplied to the ejector to produce the required vacuum. This vacuum
holds the safety valve open while on the ground through the action of the landing gear squat switch, which
energizes the vacuum relief solenoid valve to open it. The cabin pressure control switch located on the lower
left instrument panel also controls the vacuum relief solenoid valve. This switch, when placed in the DUMP
position, energizes the vacuum solenoid and opens the safety valve. The switch has three positions, DUMP,
CABIN PRESS., and TEST. The test position bypasses the landing gear squat switch, thus permitting the
cabin to be pressurized on the ground for test purposes only. The normal position is CABIN PRESS. which
allows the system to be pressurized after takeoff.
The cabin pressure controller is mounted on the lower left instrument panel, and the auxiliary volume
tank and filter are located behind the instrument panel. The volume tank provides additional volume for the
rate pressure chamber in the controller, thus providing greater accuracy of the cabin rate-of-change control.
The air filter eliminates entry of tobacco tar and dust particles greater than .3 microns into the pneumatic
control elements of the controller.
The cabin outflow and safety valves, cabin absolute pressure switches and cabin differential pressure
switch are mounted on the aft pressure bulkhead.
13A-6. COMPONENTS DETAILED DESCRIPTION.

a. Cabin Outflow Valve: (Refer to Figure 13A-3.)
The outflow valve consists of two sections, a head section and a base section. The head section
contains port "2" (controller connection) and a plugged cabin air port. Mounted on the head is the
differential control, which contains port" I" (true static atmosphere connection with orifice). The
base assembly encloses a poppet outflow valve which seats on a surface of the base assembly when in
the closed position.
b. Cabin Safety Valve: (Refer to Figure 13A-3.)
The safety valve consists of two sections, a head section and a base section. The head section
contains port "2" depressurization connection and a cabin air filter with orifice. Mounted on the
head is a differential control which contains port "I" (true static atmosphere connection with
orifice). The base assembly encloses a poppet outflow valve which seats on a surface of the base
assembly when in the closed position.
c. Cabin Pressure Controller: (Refer to Figure 13A-4.)
The body of the controller is composed of three elements. The lower element forms a chamber which
is open to cabin pressure and houses the absolute bellows. It also is the face of the controller and has
the cabin altitude selector knob and the cabin rate control knob. The middle element, when
assembled to the lower element, completes the cabin pressure chamber and seals the cabin pressure
chamber from the rest of the controller with a sealing diaphragn. The opposite side of the middle
element forms a rate pressure chamber which houses the rate spring. The upper element, when
assembled to the rate diaphragn and other two elements, forms a reference pressure metering valve
and metering valve follower spring. This element also contains the various air connections for
installation of the controller into the cabin pressure control system.
d. Auxiliary Volume Tank:
This is a small sealed chamber located close to the controller and when connected to the controller,
provides additional volume to the rate pressure chamber in the controller, thus providing greater
accuracy of the cabin rate-of-control.

e. Air Filter:
The filter element is a cylindrical plug of treated paper fabric material, completely enclosed in a
thin aluminum case with perforations located around its circumference. The filter effectively
eliminates the entry of tobacco tar and dust particles greater than .3 micron in diameter into the
pneumatic control elements of the outflow valve controller.
f. Vacuum Relief Solenoid Valve:
This valve is normally closed and located between the vacuum ejector and the control line from the
cabin pressure controller to the safety valve. When energized, the vacuum provided by the ejector is
applied to the diaphragm of the safety valve, holding it open. The vacuum relief solenoid valve is
open under either of the following conditions:
I. On the ground with the landing gear squat switch energized.
2. In flight whenever the cabin dump switch is in the DUMP position.
g. Cabin Pressure Switches:
1. The Cabin Differential Pressure Switch provides a warning to the pilot by activating the
"CABIN PRESS." annunciator light when the cabin differential pressure exceeds that specified in Table
XIIIA-1.
2. Cabin absolute switch provides a warning to the pilot by lighting the "Cabin Pressure" caution
light on the pilot's annunciator panel if the cabin altitude exceeds 11,300 feet. This switch is located on the aft
pressure bulkhead.
13A-7. CABIN DEPRESSURIZATION (DUMP) PROCEDURE. The cabin pressure may need to be
dumped for a number of reasons and, in most cases, it is recommended that oxygen be turned ON and masks
donned before pressure is dumped. However, if"fire" is experienced or suspected, the oxygen should be turned
ON without the masks activated, until the cabin is depressurized. (Refer to "Emergency Oxygen System" for
the appropriate procedure.)
Depressurization cari be accomplished in two ways. If pressure needs to be dumped in a hurry, the Cabin
Pressure control (Test/ Dump switch) located on the cabin pressure control panel, should be switched to
DUMP. If urgency is not required, it is recommended that the emergency g.ear extender cover be lifted slowly
until pressure is unloaded, which will prevent a rapid discharge of pressure.
If the Cabin Pressure control (Test/ Dump switch) has been moved to DUMP, monitor cabin altitude
after activation. Should cabin pressure not dump, lift the emergency gear extender cover as well. Pull the ECS
circuit breakers if necessary.
For fresh air ventilation move the Cabin Air control to OUTSIDE.
13A-8. PRESSURIZATION CHECK WITH TEST UNIT. (Refer to Figure 13A-6.) The following
pressurization test procedure is used to determine if the aircraft fuselage has an acceptable leaking rate. A
pressurization test unit as shown in referenced figures will be required to perform the pressurization test.
l. Remove the access panel on the right side of the nose section to permit access to the pressure
bulkhead at fuselage station 57.00.
2. Remove the access panels on the right and left side of the fuselage tail section at station 346.00.
3. Remove the trim panel at fuselage station 274.00 in front of the outflow and safety valves.
Remove the cotter pin and cap the ambient sense line from the outflow and safety valves.
4. Place the cabin air control in the pressurized position.
5. Position all circuit breakers to the OFF position, except the cabin pressure control, door seal
and annunciator/ warning light circuits which should be in the ON position.
6. Remove access plate and install an AN840-4D test fitting in the door seal solenoid valve at
NOTE
If the airplane is not on jacks, disconnect the electrical power to the

vacuum relief solenoid valve.

test fitting. Remove the water separator inlet duct and connect the pressurized air supply hose from the test
unit using the reducer shown in Figure 13A-5.
NOTE
Insure all connections are made in a manner that prevents leakage.
2. U neap the door seal test fitting underneath the fuselage near the cabin door to a pneumatic
hose and connect it to the door seal inflation hose from the test unit.
3. Turn on the aircraft electrical power to activate the warning light system.
4. Close the cabin door and inflate the door seal.
I. Turn on the aircraft electrical power to activate the warning light system.
2. Set the pneumatic system pressure on the test unit with the regulator control knob so that 18
psig is shown on the test unit door seal pressure gauge.
3. Connect the test unit to the proper voltage source. Turn the flow rate valve knob to the full
bypass position, thus allowing the machine to be turned ON.
NOTE
If a test unit other than the type covered in these instructions is used,
activate in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Turn the flow control valve for cabin pressurization to maintain a 2000 foot per minute rate of
descent on the rate change indicator. Allow the cabin differential pressure to rise to 5.0 psi on the cabin
differential pressure gague (C.D.P.).
NOTE

5. When 5.0 psi is indicated on the C.D.P. gauge, rotate the flow control valve and decrease the
air flow rate until the "cabin rate of climb" gauge indicates zero.
6. Maintain 5.0 psi cabin differential pressure and zero rate of change.
7. Observe the leak rate on the test unit flow meter. The actual leakage rate in CFM should not
exceed 55.0 CFM. Refer to Chapter XIII for PA-31T and PA-31TI.
8. If the allowable leakage rate is exceeded, locate the leak using soap bubbles, mechanics
stethoscope or other appropriate method. Repair the leak and repressurize in accordance with the above
procedure.
CAUTION
Exercise caution during depressurization to avoid damage to the

aircraft, test unit or personnel. The test unit cannot be turned off
while there is a pressure differential in the cabin for purpose of rapid
depressurization, however if the machine is unplugged, the latter
results will occur, causing serious discomfort to anyone that may be
within the cabin.

PA-31T2

9. After completion of the leak rate test, proceed to check the annunciator 1warning light system
as follows:
(a) Ascertain that the ambient sense line from the outflow and safety valves are capped.
(b) Slowly increase the cabin pressure to 5. 75 psid keeping an eye on the cabin differential
pressure gauge.
NOTE
Beware of irregularities in the differential pressure gauge. If the

gauge is felt to be inaccurate, known good altimeter or pressure
gauge should be used.
(c) Note the activation of the annunciator warning light as specified in Table XliiA-1.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 5.8 psid. After completion of the above tests. assure
that the caps are removed from the ambient sense lines to the
outflow and safety valves and that the cotter pins are replaced.
10. Test the bleed air and cabin pressurization system, the safety and outflow valves prior to any
engine runup test in accordance with the following instructions:
(a) Safety valve check - Ascertain that the ambient sense line for the safety valve is open.
Close the outflow valve ambient sense line.
(b) With the cabin pressure stabilized, slowly increase cabin pressure to a 5.5 :t. I psi reading
on the "cabin differential pressure" gauge to permit opening of the safety valve. The test
unit "cabin rate of climb" indicator will indicate a climb when the safety valve opens.
(c) Outflow valve check - Close the ambient sense line for the safety valve and open the
ambient sense line for the outflow valve. Repeat the opening test, Step b, for the outflow
valve.
II. After completion of the safety and outflow valve opening checks, rotate the flow control to
depressurize the cabin and bring the pressure to ambient by observing the "cabin differential pressure" gauge.
Open the ambient sense lines.
12. Shut down the test unit and turn off the shop air to the unit. Bleed off the air pressure in the
door seal and open the cabin door.
13. De-energize the airplane electrical system and disconnect the test unit pneumatic lines from the
airplane. Reconnect the electrical Jines to vacuum relief solenoid if disconnected. Reconnect all airplane
pneumatic lines.
14. Replace the access and trim panels removed to accomplish these tests.
13A-9. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM CHECKOUT PROCEDURE. The following procedure has been
established to systematically check the function of each element of the cabin pressure control system, so that
any single or combination of component malfunctions may be safely detected and corrected. Should a
malfunction be detected, it is imperative that it be corrected before continuing to the next step.
l3A-\O. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. In case of uncontrolled pressurization, the pilot should stop
pressurization or depressurize the aircraft in order of priority as follows:
a. Move the cabin pressure mode switch to the "dump" position. (After depressurization only.)
b. Pull the circuit breaker to deactivate the inflation of the cabin door seal.
c. Close the right and left engine bleed air valves by positioning both bleed air switches to the OFF
position.
d. Lift the emergenc1 gear extender cover.

l3A-20a. DOOR SEAL SYSTEM.
l3A-20b. DESCRIPTION OF DOOR SEAL SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure 13A-8a.) The door seal system
receives its pressure from both engine bleed air ports. This bleed air leaves the engines at a temperature of
600° F and a pressure of 90 psi. The air is routed thru check valves and on to a heat exchanger which lowers the
high bleed and temperature. As the air is cooled it is routed thru a water separator which removes any moisture
from the air before it enters the pressure regulator. This regulator decreases the system pressure from 90 psi
down to 18 psi +I -3 psi, for door se<\l.and deicer operation. (Refer to Section X IV, for Deicer System.) This
pressure regulator is backed up by a pressure relief valve which cracks open at 21 psi and becomes full open at
26 psi should the regulator fail to open. The regulated air is then routed to a three way valve which directs the
air to the door seal or dumps the pressure overboard when pressurization is not desired.
13A-21. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNIT. This system is operated by engine bleed air which is
controlled by a pressure regulator and flow limiting venturi along with various components which make up the
environmental control system. Refer to the following paragraphs for component detailed description and
removal and installation of each component making up the environmental control system.
13A-22. TROUBLESHOOTING. Probable troubles peculiar to the environmental control system

components covered in this chapter are listed in Table XIIIA-II, along with their probable causes and
suggested remedies after the trouble has been corrected, check the entire system for security and operation of
its components.

6B9 PA-31T2
13A-23. COMPONENT DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS. This system is operated by engine bleed air which
is controlled by a pressure regulator and flow limiting venturi along with various components which make up
the environmental control system. The following is a description of these various components: (Refer to
Figures 13A-9 and 13A-10.)
a. Pressure Regulating and Shutoff Valve.
The pressure regulating and shutoff valve is installed in the bleed air line located upstream of the
refrigeration unit. This is a solenoid operated valve which regulates the bleed air supply pressure to the
refrigeration unit.
b. Bleed Air Supply Overpressure Switch.
This switch is located at the inlet to the refrigeration unit. It monitor's bleed air pressure to the unit
and signals the regulating and shutoff valve to shut off air flow should pressures exceed 40 ± 3 psig.
c. Primary Heat Exchanger.
This heat exchanger is located within the refrigeration unit, and used to lower the high bleed air
temperature prior to its routing to the compressor.
d. Compressor.
The compressor within the refrigeration unit is attached to the turbine and compresses the bleed
air to a higher pressure and temperature.
e. Compressor Discharge Overtemperature Sensing Switch.
This switch is installed at the compressor discharge port and senses discharge temperature. The
switch is normally closed and should open when temperatures reach 425°F ± 5°F, thus signaling the pressure
regulator and shutoff valve to close, thereby shutting off the bleed air supply to the refrigeration unit.
f. Secondary Heat Exchanger.
This heat exchanger is located within the refrigeration unit and used to further lower the air
temperature.
g. Cooling Turbine.
The cooling turbine is installed on the shaft with the compressor and receives the precooled air
from the secondary heat exchanger. This air is still at a high pressure and upon passing through the turbine this
high pressure is lowered by expansion. The turbine absorbs the energy from the high pressure bleed air and
drives the compressor. The expansion of the bleed air plus its loss of energy causes its temperature to be
reduced at the turbine discharge.
h. Mixing Muff.
Tbis is a mixing device which is located immediately downstream of the cooling turbine for the
purpose of mixing cold turbine outlet air with hot bleed air from the hot air bypass valve to control incoming
air temperature.
i. Water Separator Assembly.
This assembly consists of a coalescer and water collector and drain. The drain consists of a line
routed to the water aspirator on the air inlet side of the refrigeration unit, ahead of the heat exchangers. A
small portion of bleed air is extracted from the heat exchanger and routed through the aspirator thus causing
high velocity air flow through the aspirator which creates a vacuum on the drain line and removed any water
from the water separator collector. This water is sprayed into the ambient air ahead of the heat exchanger,
thus providing additional cooling capacity.
j. The ground cooling fan is energized only when the aircraft is on the ground through the landing gear
squat switch. It provides air cooling for both the primary and secondary heat exchangers on the ground
through a 28-volt vaneaxial fan.
13A-24. REMOVAL OF PRESSURE REGULATOR AND SHUTOFF VALVE.

a. Remove water separator in accordance with instructions given in this section.
b. Disengage bleed air circuit breaker.
c. Disconnect pressure regulator sensing tube from pressure regulating and shutoff valve.
d. Disconnect electrical plug from pressure regulating and shutoff valve.
e. Remove the couplings that secures the pressure regulator and shutoff valve assembly in position.
f. Remove pressure regulator and shutoff valve from airplane.

13A-35. COOLING TURBINE. This unit consists of a turbine wheel and an impeller mounted on a common
shaft and enclosed by a turbine torus and a compressor torus. The cooling turbine shaft rotates in a self-acting
foil air bearing that uses a number of overlapping foil segments secured by retainers. These foil segments grip
the shaft with a preload, and the rotating assembly does not rotate freely while at rest, like a ball bearing
mounted assembly. During startup, air is drawn into the converging wedges until the pressure differential
opposing the load equals the shaft weight. The bearings automatically adjust the film clearance according to
load. speed, ambient air pressure, temperature, shaft expansion and misalignment. A lubricant is not used in
the cooling turbine, and thus periodic lubrication is not required.
NOTE
An inch ounce torque wrench is required to check the air-bearing

conditions. Refer to Cooling Turbine Check for proper procedure
and torques.

13A-38. CABIN TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM.
13A-39. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION. The condition air supplied to the cabin is controlled by the
operation of the cabin temperature control system. This system consists of cabin temperature sensor and
controller, duct temperature sensor and hot air bypass valve. During normal operation (automode) the pilot
sets cabin temperature with the cabin temperature potentiometer in the 60° F to 90° F cabin temperature range.
The cabin temperature sensor and controller, contains a sensor element whose resistance is proportional to
temperature. As the cabin temperature increases or decreases, the bridge circuit in the cabin temperature
sensor and controller becomes unbalanced; a signal is sent to the hot air bypass valve to open or close it. This
controls the temperature of the condition airflow to the cabin, in the event a failure occurs in normal mode
(auto) position. A manual temperature control is also incorporated in the system. Place the manual/auto
switch in the manual position, and control the temperature with the manual temp. switch, heat or cool. for
control of th~ ~ot air bypass valve. to maintain cabin temperature.
13A-40. TROUBLESHOOTING. Probable troubles peculiar to the environmental control system

components covered in this chapter are listed in Table XIIIA-11. along with their probable causes and
suggested remedies after the trouble has been corrected; check the entire system for security and operation of
its components.
13A-41. COMPONENT DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS AND LOCATIONS.

a. Hot Air Bypass Valve: This valve is installed between the turbine mixing muff and the bleed.air line
to the-primary heat exchanger. Its function is to modulate the flow of the hot bleed air into the mixing muff in
accordance with signals sent to the valve from the cabin temperature sensor and controller, and the manual
temp. control switch. This valve uses an electric actuator motor.
b. Duct Temperature Sensor: This sensor acts as a temperature limiter and prevents cabin supply
temperature from exceeding 250° For going below 35° F. The duct temperature sensor is installed in the cabin
condition air supply duct. If duct temperatures exceed normal range of operation, a signal is sent to the
temperature sensor and controller to open or close the hot air bypass valve.
c. Cabin Temperature Sensor and Controller: This unit works in conjunction with the duct
temperature and cabin temperature sensor to control the hot air bypass valve to maintain the desired cabin
temperature. The unit is mounted centrally in the aft cabin headliner. The controller range of operation is
between 35° F .± 3° F to 250° F.

or the "boat," to stop the fan.
c. Select MANUAL mode and hold the MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL switch up into the
HEAT position, for more than one minute, and watch the bypass valve stem, to make sure the motor runs
until its internal limit switch shuts it off with "OPEN" in view on the valve stem. Then, hold the MANUAL
TEMPERATURE CONTROL switch down to COOL, for more than a minute, to make sure the bypass valve
runs until its internal limit switch shuts off with "CLOSE" in view on the valve stem. Then, hold the MANUAL
TEMPERATURE CONTROL switch up in HEAT for about 30 seconds, to leave the bypass valve about half
open. If the words "OPEN" and "CLOSE" did not show up on the stem, as expected, un.plug the valve and
replace it. Switch the battery MASTER off.
d. Now that the ECS MANUAL mode has been tested, pull the CABIN COMFORT circuit breaker.
unscrew and unplug the HYLZ "boat," and check its harness connector for shorts to ground, with an
ohmmeter. None of the 9 pins in the 14 pin harness connector may show any leakage to ground. (Short to
ground on pin II can lock the controller in AUTO mode. Short to ground on pin 10 may lock the AUTO mode
in always maximum COOL.)
e. With mode switch in MANUAL hold the MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL up and down.
and verify that up in HEAT grounds pin 4, and down in COOL grounds pin 3.
f. Switch the mode switch up to AUTO and verify that this grounds pin 2.
g. Measure between harness connector pins 9 and 10: this should measure about 100 ohms, with the
CABIN COMFORT temperature level set knob rotated full CCW to the COOL stop, and about zero ohms.
with the knob rotated full CW to theW ARM stop ... leave the knob at mid scale (pointing up), or about 50
ohms. after this test.
h. Measure between pins 8 and II and also between 12 and II: if the duct sensor probe is at room
temperature. both these readings should be about 100 ohms(+ 20 ohms).
i. Connect the HYLZ "boat" to the test harness extension (with RED and BLUE light pigtail), and
connect the test harness extension to the aircraft harness. Push all the wire (except the RED and BLUE light
pigtail) up into the hole, and remount the "boat" to its hole in the ceiling ... let the light pigtail hang out on the
pilot's side of the aircraft, so the lights can easily be seen from the cockpit. Tape a small thermometer to the
RED and BLUE light pigtail. to keep track of cabin temperature.
j. Push in the cabin comfort circuit breaker and turn on the aircraft battery MASTER switch. The
cabin comfort mode switch is up in AUTO ... this should start the fan in the HYLZ "boat," and one of the
pigtail lights will probably come on.

k. Rotate the cabin comfort temperature select knob back and forth to find a spot where both RE l)
and BLUE pigtai \lights stay out ... the pointer should indicate approximately the temperature of the air that
the internal fan is blowing thru the "boat." Imagine that these temperature markings are painted on the placard
behind the temperature select knob: II :00 o'clock = 60°, ( 12:00 is straight up) I :00 = 70°, 3:00 = 80°, 5:00
= 90°. There will be a null or dead band equivalent to about 3° F., where the knob can be rotated a little
without turning on either RED or BLUE light.
I. Unplug the duct sensor connector. (This high probe resistance looks like maximum hot probe) and
verify that the BLUE light comes on and can't be kept off with any temperature select knob setting.
m. Use a piece of 14 gauge solid wire to make a jumper to short out pins C to D, on the probe harness
connector (this low probe resistance looks like a frozen probe) and verify that the RED light comes on and
can't be kept off with any temperature select knob setting. Remove the jumper from the probe connector and
reconnect the aircraft harness to the duct sensor probe.
n. Verify that the temperature select knob can still be set in the dead band position to keep both RED
and BLUE lights out. Now go back to the "boat" and blow slightly warmer air into the opening where the
internal fan is drawing cabin air into the boat- your breath is probably warm enough- and verify that the
BLUE light starts to pulse, telling the bypass valve "close some, to make us a little cooler." Allow the "boat"
to cool back down to cabin temperature to where both lights are out. If it is practical, hold a piece of ice, or an
ice cube, in the airstream being sucked into the "boat" (DO NOT GET WATER IN THE "BOAT") and note
that the RED light now begins to pulse, telling the valve "open some, to make us a little warmer."Take the ice
away and note that the red light eventually stays out.
o. This completes ground verification of proper AUTO temperature control ... if the system works
properly in MANUAL mode, it will very likely now work properly in AUTO mode ... but this system can be
fooled into unsatisfactory in flight operation by uninformed pilot operation ... here are 3 wrong ways:
I. If the pilot turns the temperature select knob to the 1:00 or 2:00 position and selects AUTO
mode, before engine start, and leaves that switch and knob alone, the cabin will probably get and stay at a
comfortable temperature, if that could have been achieved with MANUAL mode.
2. If the pilot turns the temperature select knob to a new position, and does not wait 10 minutes
before turning the knob again, the AUTO mode circuitry will not be able to figure out (and gradually produce
within 3° F.) just which cabin temperature the pilot really wants. Do not twist the level set knob every few
minutes.
3. If the pilot moves the windshield defroster select lever from open to close, or from close to
open. the cockpit temperature around the pilot's shoulders can change by more than 5° F. and the cabin
comfort system does not see this change in the cabin ... if the pilot then turns the temperature select knob to
make the cockpit warmer or cooler, and passengers in the cabin were comfortable. they will then be made too
warm or too cool. Do not offset opening or closing the defroster lever by twisting the temperature level set
knob, if there are sensitive passengers in the cabin.
NOTES
Do not twist the temperature set knob more than a few degrees at a
time.
Do not touch the CABIN COMFORT control panel before waiting

10 minutes since the last change.
As the sun sets, push the defroster lever open to keep the cockpit
warm without bothering the passengers ... otherwise, slip on a
jacket to counter the chill of sunset and darkened cockpit windows.

SECTION XIV
14-1. INTRODUCTION. This section covers accessories and utilities which are available in the airplane and
are not covered in other sections of this Service Manual. This information provides instructions for remedying
difficulties which may arise in any of the accessories or utilities, and the instructions are organized so the
mechanic may refer to whichever component or system he must repair or adjust.
14-2. OXYGEN SYSTEM.
14-3. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. The oxygen system consists of an oxygen
cylinder, regulator, compensator (if FAR 135 oxygen system is being used), filler valve, pressure gauge,
outlets, masks and an ON/OFF control. High pressure is routed from the cylinder and regulator to the pressure
gauge. Low pressure is routed from the cylinder and regulator to the outlets and masks, through another line,
whenever the control knob is pulled to the ON position. Each outlet has a spring-loaded valve which prevents
the flow of oxygen until a mask hose is engaged in the outlet.
14-4. TROUBLESHOOTING. A troubleshooting chart is located at the back of the oxygen system portion of
this section.
14-5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. Utmost care must be exercised in servicing, handling and inspection of the
oxygen system. A fully charged oxygen cylinder contains enough pressure to cause serious injury to personnel
and damage to equipment. Keep hands, tools, and working area clean and post NO SMOKING signs. Keep all
components of the system free from oil, grease, fuel and all readily combustible material. Never allow
electrical equipment to come in contact with the oxygen cylinder. Keep fire and heat away from oxygen
equipment and take care not to generate sparks with carelessly handled tools.
14-6. INSPECTION AND OVERHAUL TIME LIMITS. It is recommended that inspection and overhaul be
conducted by an FAA Approved Station or the manufacturer, Scott Aviation. The following checks and chart
gives recommended inspection and overhaul time for the various parts of the oxygen system:
a. Standard weight cylinders (ICC or DOT 3AA 1800 classification) must be hydrostatic tested every 5
years. The lightweight cylinders (ICC or DOT 3HT 1850 classification) must be hydrostatic tested
every 3 years and must be retired from service after 24 years or 4380 pressurizations, whichever
occurs first. The month and year of the last test is stamped on the cylinder beneath the ICC
identification.
b. The outlets should be checked for leakage both in the non-use condition and for leakage around an
inserted connector.
c. The high pressure gauge may be checked for accuracy by comparing its indicated pressure with that of
a gauge of known accuracy.
d. Inspection of the regulator may be effected by introducing into an outlet a mask connector to which is
attached a 100 psi gauge. With one other outlet flowing through a plugged in mask, the indicated
regulator output pressure shall be not less than 45 psi at sea level with 200 psi supply cylinder
pressure. It should be noted that the permissible leakage through the 1/16 diameter vent hole in the
side of the upper regulator housing is 10 cc/min. maximum, when the regulator is turned on. There
shall be no external leakage anywhere on the regulator when it is turned off. All fittings shall be leak
free.
Interim Revision: 10/15/97 6C5 ACCESSORIES AND UTILITIES

14-7. TESTING FOR LEAKS. Apply detector fluid type CD-1 solution or its equivalent. The solution
should be shaken to obtain suds or foam. The suds or foam should be applied sparingly to the joints of a
closed system. Look for traces of bubbles. No visible leakage should be found. Repair or replace any
defective parts and retest system. With the system pressurized to service pressure, further tests can be made.
The rate of any leak should not exceed one percent of the total supply per 24 hour period. All traces of the
detector fluid should be wiped off at the conclusion of the examination.
14-8. MAINTENANCE.
a. Check that all lines have sufficient clearance between all adjacent structures and are secured in
place. Also check the cylinder to be sure it is securely mounted.
b. Check the cylinder for the ICC identification number and for the date of the last FAA inspection
and test.
c. If cylinder is completely empty, it must be completely disassembled and inspected in an FAA
approved facility before recharging.
d. Any lines that are defective should be replaced with factory replacements.
e. Clean all lines and fittings as described in Paragraph 14-9.

14-20. PROPELLER AND ENGINE AIR INLET LIP DEICING SYSTEM.
14-21. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION. (Refer to Figure 14-3.) The Propeller and
Lip Deicer System is made up of two individual systems, one for each engine, linked together only by an
ammeter (4). The ammeter has a selector switch enabling it to monitor the operation of either the left or
right system.
Each system consists of an electrically heated boot (9) bonded to each propeller blade and to the lip
of the engine air intake duct, a slip ring, and brush block assembly to transfer electrical power to the
rotating deicers on the propellers, a timer (7) to control the cycling of the system, a shunt (5) which
connects to the single ammeter that monitors system operation, three circuit breakers (8) to protect the
system and related wiring harnesses, and a switch ( 1) to control system operation.
The control switch performs two functions: it operates two relays, a motor control relay and a power
control relay. It also reverses the field voltage for the motor that operates the mechanism that extends and
retracts the ice deflection flap and bypass door. (Refer to Section VIII or Section VIIIA.)
To conserve electrical power which is drawn from the aircraft electrical system, the current is cycled to the
deicer heaters at timed intervals rather than continuously. Each propeller blade deicer boot has two separate
heaters; one for the outer half and one for the inner half. By heating the outer or inner heaters on only one
propeller at a time, rotational balance is held during deicing. Current is drawn from the airplane electrical
system through the switch that is selected, connecting the ammeter and timer for that system. When the switch
is activated the timer delivers current continuously to the Parting Strip portion of the lip deicer and suc-
cessively to the Shedding Area I (phase 1}, and Shedding Area II (phase 2) portions of the lip deicer. Current
is also delivered successively, via the slip ring and brush block arrangement to the outer heaters on the pro-
peller blades (phase 3), and then the inner heaters on the propeller blades (phase 4). The timer energizes each
of these four phases in turn for about 34 seconds, and thus the system continues to cycle as long as the control
switch is on.
The propeller deicer cycling sequence given is vital so that outboard heaters on each blade operate before
the inboard heaters. See cycle sequence. (Refer to Figures 14-4 through 14-7.) The system may be used con-
tinuously in flight if needed.
NOTE
Heating may begin at any phase in the cycle depending on the

timer position when the switch was turned off from previous use.
a. Deicers: The deicers contain special heater wires protected by fabric plies and by oil and
abrasion-resistant rubber. The side of the boot cemented to the mounting surface has a dull finish whereas
the air side finish is "glossy." Each boot has a separate lead for the individual heating elements and an extra
lead which is a common ground. These leads are so marked. An unmarked ground can be identified by using
an ohmmeter across all the possible pairs of leads. One pair will show twice the resistance of the other pairs.
The latter are the "hot" leads and the lead excluded from the pair that shows twice the resistance of the
other pairs is the ground lead. All deicers used on this airplane must be of the new design, which includes a
gray plastic patch where boot and strap join.
b. Slip Rings, Brushes and Brush Blocks: To transfer electrical power to the rotating deicers, a
brush block assembly is mounted on a bracket at the front of the engine and has brushes which are
spring-loaded to press against the revolving slip rings. The slip ring assembly is mounted on the backside of
the rear spinner bulkhead.
6Cl3
c. Timers: Each timer is a sealed unit located on a shelf in the nose section of the airplane. If a
timer is found inoperative, it must be replaced as an assembly. No field repairs are authorized. For timer
function, refer to Paragraph 14-53 ..
d. Ammeter: The ammeter is designed for the monitoring of each system, and it is, therefore,
important that the correct replacement part number be used if replacement should be required. In the event
of low aircraft battery voltage (very possible in ground checks), the ammeter readings will be lower than at
full voltage. Provided the ammeter needle reads in the shaded range on the scale (full aircraft voltage),
current flow is considered as normal.
e. Switches: The switches for each system are mounted in the overhead switch panel.
f. Circuit Breakers: The circuit breakers are mounted in the circuit protector panel; one in the
panel on the left side of the cockpit and one in the panel on the right side.
14-22. DEICER SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK.

a. Chock wheels and operate the engine at near takeoff power.
b. Turn deicer system switch ON for the side being checked and activate the Ground Test Switch.
c. With the ammeter selector switch in the proper position, observe the ammeter for at least two
minutes.
d. The ammeter needle must "flicker" approximately every 34 seconds as the step switch of the
timer operates. The needle must also be in the green arc during all four phases of the cycle.
e. With engine stopped, remove top engine cowl and unplug the lip deicer boot at the plug and at
the ground lead disconnect.
f. With auxiliary power plugged in and deicer switch ON, check for proper operation of the ice
deflector door, located beneath the air inlet screen, by observing back through the air inlet and down
around each side of the engine. Also check operation of the bypass door located on the underside of the
bottom engine cowl at the rear of the engine. (Refer to Section VIII or Section VIllA.)
g. Have an assistant activate the Ground Test Switch and feel the propeller deicer boots for proper
sequence and operation. The starting point is not important, but the sequence is vital and must
be: outboard elements; then inboard elements in that order.
NOTE
The ammeter will not read through two phases of the two minute
cycle and will read slightly lower than what was observed with the
engine running during the two prop deicer phases due to the lip
deicer being inoperative.
CAUTION
Due to the Parting Strip element being on continuously and the

suddenness and heat intensity of the lip deicer elements, the boot
must be observed closely while testing it, for signs of overheating,
or the boot could be destroyed.
h. There are two ways of checking the operation of the lip deicer safely:
1. Obtain a 28 VDC power source that is capable of supplying 16 amps. Connect the negative
lead to the ground lead of the deicer and touch the positive lead individually to the three terminals of the
plug from the deicer.

2. This method requires connecting the deicer ground wire at the quick-disconnect terminal,
and one person in the cockpit with Master and Deicer Switches ON and the Ground Test Switch activated
while a second person simply connects the deicer plug to the mating plug, supplying system power, long
enough to make the check stated in Step i of this paragraph; then disconnecting plug and waiting for the
second lip deicer phase to begin.
NOTE
The timer will only operate as long as the Ground Test Switch is
activated, thus the latter method may be used to check for proper
system cycling by referring to Figures 14-4 through 14-7 and
provided the following WARNING is observed.
WARNING
Maintain the connection only as long as necessary to meet the

particulars stated in Step i of this paragraph and by no means long
enough that the deicer becomes too hot to touch.
i. The temperature rise of the boots should be noticeable and if local hot spots are apparent, the
boot is damaged and must be replaced unless surface damage is evident. Surface damage, if not extensive,
may be repaired in a similar manner as that stated in Paragraph 14-41.
14-23. TROUBLESHOOTING. Troubles peculiar to the deicing system are listed in Table XIV-VI at the
end of these instructions, along with their probable causes and suggested remedies.
14-24. USING THE AMMETER. Whether in flight or during ground testing, the ammeter can be used to
indicate the general nature of most electrical problems. The troubleshooting chart is primarily based on this
use of the ammeter and assumes that the user does understand all normal operating modes of the system as
given in Principles of Operation, Paragraph 14-21.
NOTE
When troubleshooting, first use the "ammeter test" and "heat

test" to determine which circuits are involved. Use circuit diagram
for assistance to check voltages or continuity.
14-25. HELPFUL TIPS.

a. If the ammeter reading drops to one-third normal current, this indicates that one heater circuit is
open.
b. Excess current reading on the ammeter always indicates a power lead is shorted to ground. Thus,
when trouble of this nature is found, it is vital that the grounded power lead be located and corrected.
c. A considerable number of timers that have been returned for repair, proved to be fully workable
when tested. Accomplish the test described in Paragraph 14-53 before concluding that the timer is
defective.
6Cl8
14-26. INSPECTION.
14-27. 50-HOUR INSPECTION.
a. Perform entire procedure for each engine as stated in Paragraph 14-22.
b. Remove spinner dome and upper engine cowl. With assistant observing deicer ammeter and with
deicer switch ON and Ground Test Switch activated, flex all accessible wiring- particularly the deicer lead
straps, leads from the slip ring assembly, and the fire wall electrical connectors and their wiring. Any move-
ment of the ammeter needle other than the "34 second flicker" of cycling, indicates a short or break that must
be located and corrected. Perform this test for both left and right systems.
14-28. 100-HOUR INSPECTION.

a. Remove cowling in accordance with Removal of Engine Cowling, Section VIII or Section VIllA.)
b. Conduct 50-hour inspection.
c. Check for radio noise or radio compass interference by operating each engine at near takeoff
power and with radio gear ON while turning each device switch ON and OFF. If noise or interference
occurs with deicer switch ON and disappears when switch is OFF, see troubleshooting chart.
d. Ascertain that all clamps, clips, mountings, and electrical connections are tight. Check for loose,
broken, or missing safety wire.
e. Deicer Boots: Closely check the boots for wrinkled, loose, or torn areas particularly around the
ends of the boots and where the propeller boot strap passes under the strap retainer. Look for abrasions or
cuts, especially along the leading edges and the flat or thrust face of the propeller boots. If heater wires are
exposed in damaged areas or if rubber is found to be tacky, swollen or deteriorated (as from oil or solvent
contact), replace the damaged deicer in accordance with Paragraphs !4-42 to 14-47.
NOTE
Look for cracks or other damage. Operate propeller from "full

pitch" to "feathering" and check that deicer lead harnesses do not
come under tension or are pinched by propeller blade. (Refer to
Figure 14-22 or 14-23.)
f. Slip Rings: Check slip rings for gouges, roughened surface, cracks, burned or discolored areas,
and for deposits of oil, grease or dirt.
1. Clean greasy or contaminated slip rings with CRC 2-26 solvent. (Thls solvent is available
from CRC Chemical Division, Webb Inc., CJ 10 Limekiln Pike, Dresher, Pa. 19025.
2. If uneven wear is found or if wobble is noticed, set up dial indicator as shown in Figure 14-8
to check alignment of slip rings to propeller shaft.
g. Brush Block- Brushes: Examine mounting brackets and housing for cracks, deformation or other
physical damage.
1. Test that each brush rides fully on its slip ring over 360°. Figure 14-9 shows wear pattern if
this condition is not corrected. If alignment is off, shim where brush block attaches to mounting bracket.
The shim is a series of laminates and may be peeled for proper alignment of brushes to slip rings. If old shim
is not thick enough, a new one must be installed.
6C19
2. Check for proper clearance of brush block to slip rings as shown in Figure 14-11. If not correct,
loosen mounting screws and move in elongated holes to correct block position before tightening securely.
3. Check brushes for wear limitation. (Refer to Paragraph 14-30 and Figure 14-10.)
4. Visually check brush block for approximately 2° angle of attack. (Refer to Figure 14-11.) If
not, loosen mounting screws and twist block but be sure to hold clearance limits shown when tightening.
h. System Wiring: With deicer systems operating, have assistant observe ammeter while visually
inspecting and physically flexing wiring from brush blocks through fire wall, to timer, to ammeter, to switch
and to aircraft power supply. The ammeter will flicker as the timer switches approximately every 34 seconds
in the cycle. Jumps or flickers at other times indicates -loose or broken wiring in the area under examination at
that moment. In such cases, check continuity through affected harness, while flexing and prodding each wire
in the area that gave initial indication of trouble. Use the wiring diagram in Section XV to trace circuitry.
Perform the same test on the engine inlet lip deicers with the system switches on, and the assistant pressing the
Ground Test Switch.
CAUTION
Do not hold the switch on for any length of time as an overheating

condition may result.

14-39. RESISTANCE CHECK OF DEICER BOOTS. To determine incorrect resistance. short or break the
circuit at the brush-to-slip ring contact~ disconnect harness at each timer and use ohmmeter to read resistance
from each deicer circuit lead (Pins B. C. D. E. F of harness plug) to ground.
14-40. REPLACEMENT. If tests show the deicer boots to have an open circuit, to be the wrong resistance
or to be visibly damaged beyond repair as outlined in Paragraph 14-28 of this section, replace the deicer boot
as directed in Paragraphs 14-42 thru 14-51.
14-41. REPAIR OF PROPELLER DEICER LEAD STRAP. Use B.F. Goodrich Field Repair Kit No.
77-802 which contains rubber patch material sufficient for several repair jobs. Cements and solvents specified
in these directions are not included in the kit. (The abbreviation "MEK" in further steps stands for Methyl-
ethylketone.) The following steps apply wherever "cementing" is specified in the text:
a. Clean the area to be bonded or patched with MEK or acetone to remove all grease and dirt. It is
vital that surface be clean for good cementing job. After last wipe with cleaner, quickly wipe surface with a
clean. dry lint-free cloth to remove solvent film.
b. Apply one even coat of ECI300L or EC1403 cement (Minnesota Mining and Mfg. Co.) to area to
be bonc~ed or patched and allow to dry (approximately one hour above 40° F). Apply second even coat of
EC 1300L or EC 1403 cement and allow to dry.
c. Cut the patch ( .020 thick rubber to about 1/4 inch large on all sides of the damaged area). The
protective paper is on the side to be cemented. Apply masking tape on the open side to prevent the patch
from curling as cement dries; then strip off protective paper and apply ECI300L or EC'I403 cement in a
smooth even coat. Allow to air dry. After one hour, apply second coat and allow to air dry.
d. With cement surfaces either dry or with just a trace of "tackiness," apply light coat of MEK or
Toluol over these surfaces to "re-tackify" and quickly complete the cementing job as directed. Allow one
hour to air dry before peeling off the masking tape or mylar coating on the air side. Rub edges and center
of patch to see that it is holding before releasing for flight. (Approximately 24 hours.)
NOTE
Do not touch cemented surface with dirty or oily firigers.
14-42. REMOVAL OF DEICERS.

a. Release the deicer terminal clamp assembly by removing the safety wired mounting screws. Dis-
connect the deicer wiring harness and deicer leads from the terminal clamp.
· b. Use MEK or Toluol to soften the adhesion line between the boot and the mounting surface.
c. Starting at one corner of the deicer, loosen enough of the deicer to grasp in the jaws of vise grip
pliers or similar tool.
d. Apply a steady pull on the deicer to pull it off the mounting surface. Continue using M EK or
Toluol to soften the adhesion lines. Unless the deicer being removed is damaged and is to be scrapped.
cushion the jaws of any pulling tool used. to prevent damage to the deicer surface. Remove very slowly and
carefully. If deicer has failed and is to be returned under request for warranty. extreme care should be exercised
so that no additional damage is incurred to the deicer during and after removal.
e. Remove residual cement from blade. Use Turco #3 or equivalent to help with dried cements.

a. Disconnect the electrical connector in the lower cowl which supplies power to the lip deicer if
installed.
b. Remove the screws which secure the lip assembly to the lower cowl. Discard all these screws and
replace with new MS24693-C29 (P/N 414 740) screws.
c. Gently pry the lip from the intake scoop.
d. Prior to replacing the lip assembly onto the intake scoop inspect the anchor nuts for their locking
ability by trying to screw the new attachment screws into the anchor nuts by hand pressure only. Replace any
anchor nut NAS686A06 (P/N 406 824) which will allow screw engagement by hand pressure only.
e. Prior to installing the lip assembly, coat all new attachment screws with No. 222 Loctite. Make sure
the thread bearing surface is completely coated.
f. Install the lip assembly and secure with the new Loctite coated screws. Wipe off any excess Loctite
from around the lip and screw heads.
g. Reconnect the electrical connection of the lip deicer if installed.
14-43. PREPARATION OF SURFACE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF DEICER. The following

procedures are to be followed when preparing the propeller blade surface and the air inlet lip so the deicer
boots may be correctly installed:
Propeller Blade Preparation:
a. Mark and cut from masking tape a pattern the size of the propeller deicer including the first inch
of the lead strap. (Refer to Figure 14-17.)
b. Place a mark at the hub end of the blade in line with the blade leading edge. The location for this
mark can be determined by sighting along the leading edge. Starting at the hub (see following NOTE) center
the pattern on this mark and stick the pattern to the leading edge. Mark the position of the deicer lead strap
where it crosses the hub.

NOTE
All deicers on a single propeller must be located the same distance

from the hub for rotational balance.
c. Remove the pattern and remove any paint in the marked off area. Clean down to bare metal.
Next, clean the area thoroughly with MEK or acetone. For final cleaning, wipe the solvent off quickly with
a clean, dry lint-free cloth to avoid leaving a film.
CAUTION
Cleanliness of metal and rubber parts cannot be too highly

stressed. Only perfectly clean surfaces will assure maximum
adhesion.
d. Using a pencil or pen, mark a centerline at the hub of the propeller blade and on the tape at the
outboard edge of the masked area.
Engine Air Inlet Lip Preparation:
e. Clean the surface thoroughly with MEK or acetone. For final cleaning, wipe the solvent film off
quickly with a clean, dry cloth before it has time to dry.
f. Place a strip of 1 inch wide masking tape around the inside and outside of the air inlet scoop so
the leading edge of the tape is along the edge of the recess in the fiberglass.
g. Fill any seams or pockets in the fiberglass with EC-801 sealing compound; then scuff sand the
entire area lightly. Remove sanding dust with a compressed air gun.
14-44. APPLICATION OF CEMENT. The following procedures are for the application of cement on the
boots themselves and on the mating surface. Instructions for each type of boot are as follows:
Propeller Blade Deicer Boot:
a. Using a silver pencil, mark a centerline on the glossy side of the deicer.
b. Moisten a clean cloth with MEK or acetone and clean the unglazed surface of the deicer, changing
cloth frequently to avoid contamination of the clean area.
c. Thoroughly mix the EC1300L or EC1403 cement. Apply one even brush coat of cement to the
unglazed back surface of the deicer. Cement one inch of the deicer lead strap. Allow to air dry for a
minimum of one hour at 40°F or above, when the relative humidity is less than 75%. If the humidity is
75% to 90%, allow two hours drying time. Do not apply cement if the relative humidity is higher than 90%.
After allowing the proper amount of drying time, apply a second even brush coat of EC 1300L or EC 1403
cement.
NOTE
If curling of the deicer edges is a problem, apply masking tape to

the edges of the glazed side before applying cement to the
unglazed side. Remove the tape before starting to install the
deicer.
NOTE
MEK can be used instead of Toluol to tackify cement; however,

tests show that MEK causes rapid drying and provides only 10
seconds working time for deicer application compared with 40
seconds for Toluol.

14-44a. PREPARATION OF ENGINE INLET LIP BOOTS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

(SiN 31T-8304001 and up.) PPSMI168
a. Ascertain that the boot is the proper length by laying it out flat on a smooth level surface. The proper
length is 36.75 inches+ 1-.50 of an inch, measured .75 of an inch in from the electrical lead edge of the boot.
NOTE
Do not install boots which are not the proper length.
b. With the boot laying flat, check the electrical resistance of the heating elements in the following
manner.
NOTE
Establish the resistance of the test instrument leads or a Wheatstone

or Kelvin Bridge. Zero this resistance out of the equipment or
subtract it from the test readings. In no way should it be included in
the test readings. See Table XIV-VA for test values.
c. Do not install a boot assembly that does not conform to the required resistance values given in Table
XIV-VA.
14-45. INSTALLATION OF DEICERS AND REQUIRED MATERIALS. It is imperative that the

following instructions be followed exactly to insure maximum adhesion to the mounting surface. Further-
more, special attention should be given to the distance noted in Figure 14-20 to assure a neatly dressed harness
and boot connection at the terminal clamp assembly on the propeller hub.
The following instructions for the propeller deicer and the lip deicer are to be followed when the cement
coats are tacky dry on both deicer surface and mounting surface. It is recommended that two persons perform
the following procedures:
Propeller Deicer:
a. Position the deicer on the propeller leading edge, using centerlines starting from the hub after
tackifying the cement in that area with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened (not saturated) with Toluol. (Refer
to Figure 14-19.) Make sure that the strap will fall in the position previously marked. Working towards the tip,
tack the deicer centerline to the leading edge of the propeller blade. Tackify cement as necessary. If the deicer
is allowed to get off course. pull up with a quick motion and remove deicer. Re-cement per Paragraph 14-44.
c and d if necessary before proceeding, Roll firmly along the centerline with a rubber roller. as shown in Figure
14-20.

6010
b. Roll the tapered edges. especially the inboard edge. of the deicer with a narrow steel stitcher roller.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to resistance wires. do not use metal stitcher on

body of deicer.
c. Apply one even brush coat of sealer around the edges of the installed deicer.
d. Remove the masking tape from the blade immediately after applying the sealer.
e. Allow 24 hours cement curing time before turning up propeller. Allow 72 hours curing time before
operating the deicers. Handle the propeller carefully to prevent damage to the deicers.
Engine Inlet Lip Deicer: The following procedure should be used when bonding the deicer to the engine air
inlet:
f. To bond each section of the deicer to the air inlet. tackify it by using a clean. lint-free cloth
dampened (not saturated) with Toluol.
NOTE
Tackify only the cemented surface that you intend to work on

immediately.
g. Start the installation at the inside surface of the upper lip. where the deicer butts together. Curl the
deicer so that the cemented surface is facing out; insert the lead wire through the appropriate holes.
h. Dry fit the part against the inlet surface and keep the edge of the deicer against the recess edge of
the inlet.
i. When satisfied that the alignment of the deicer on the inlet is satisfactory, hold the deicer in this
position and fold back the lead wire end and tackify around the lead wire and also the mating surface on the
inlet. Press the deicer into position and roll with rubber roller.
j. Repeat Step "i" on the other end of the deicer and butt the two ends together on the inlet surface.
Press into position and roll with rubber roller.
k. Now that the deicer ends are correctly in position and held, release your hold on the rest of the
deicer. Tackify approximately one inch around the inside lip up from the recess edge and the mating surface
on the deicer.
I. Install the inside radius first. Keep the deicer taut from the lead wire to radius and against the recess
edge. Continue to install the deicer by dividing each remaining section along the inside recessed edge. Work
the entire inside edge of the deicer into place. Some stretching or crowding of the deicer may be necessary.
m. After the inside of the deicer is in position along the recess edge, tackify the remaining inside lip
surface and the mating surface of the deicer up to the leading edge. Roll the installed surface with a rubber
roller. Run your hand across the installed surface to check for trapped air, remove any trapped air iffound.
n. After the inner surface of the deicer is installed up to the leading edge. dry fit the deicer over the
leading edge to estimate the amount of stretching or crowding of the deicer that may be needed.
o. Starting again at the butt splice of the deicer, tackify and install over the leading edge. Keep the
butt splice together. Tackify and install the flat surfaces first and then stretch the deicer over the radius ends.
p. Using the rubber roller. again roll the entire deicer surface and check for trapped air.
q. Use a hook trim knife to trim any excess material. Use the .25 inch steel stitcher to roll the recessed
edges firmly into place.

Revised: 4/25/83
6D11
r. Apply one even coat of sealer around the edge of the installed deicer outside and inside the intake
scoop and in the seam at the top of the scoop where the ends of the deicer meet. (Refer to Figure 14-18.)
s. Seal the area around the wire leads where they pass through the lower cowl with RTV Sealer 102
Silicone rubber. ·
t. Remove the masking tape from around the edges of the deicer immediately after applying the
sealer. Clean up excessive cement with MEK.
u. The deicers should not be operated before the cement has dried for a minimum of eight hours.
Avoid handling the deicer when removing the bottom cowl or for any other purpose, to prevent damage to
the heating elements.
14-45a. INSTALLATION OF ENGINE INLET LIP DEICER AND REQUIRED MATERIALS. (Refer
to Figure 14-18.) (S/N 31T-8304001 and up.) Prs•o•u
a. After dimensional and resistance tests are properly completed, lay the boot on a clean. flat dry
surface with the wire leads side up. Clean this surface with Methylethylketone (MEK) or Toluol and allow to
dry.
b. Clean the fiberglass lip of the air inlet with MEK or Toluol and allow to dry.
c. Using a yellow marker, mark the inner surface of the boot at increments of .25, .50 and .75 of full
length. Also make corresponding marks on the fiberglass lip assembly. "
d. Apply one coat of Scotch grip rubber adhesive (#1300L), Piper Code No. 915 005 to both the boot
assembly and the fiberglass lip.
e. Allow both to dry for 45 minutes and then apply a second coat of adhesive to each part. Again allow
to dry for 45 minutes.
NOTE
The next step will require the use of an oven which is capable of
maintaining 170° F for five minutes, and have sufficient volume to
allow the boot assembly to be laid out flat. (Approx .. 37 inches.)
f. After second drying cycle, place the boot assembly (cement side up) into the oven and heat soak at
175° F for five (5) minutes.
g. Remove the boot from the oven. Place on a dry flat surface, grip the boot assembly at each end and
gently stretch approximately one inch and hold for two (2) minutes.
h. Put the wire leads through the hole in the fiberglass lip assembly. While doing this. align the .50
length mark on the boot assembly and lip assembly.
NOTE
To bond the deicer boot to the air inlet, it may be necessary to tackify
the cement. Use a clean, lint-free cloth dampened (not saturated)
with Toluol. Tackify only the cemented surfaces that you intend to
work on immediately.

6D12
i. When satisfied that the alignment of the deicer on the inlet is satisfactory. hold the deicer in this
position and fold back the lead wire end and tackify around the lead wire and the mating surface on the inlet.
Using hand pressure only press the boot in place at the wire leads and at the .50 length marks tackifying the
cement as required.
j. Continue to work the boot into place. making sure to align all marks at the .25 .. 50 and .75 points.
k. Roll the external surface with a hard rubber rolling tool to assure no air bubbles remain between the
rubber boot and the fiberglass surface.
I. Apply masking tape around the edges of the inlet where the boot meets the fiberglass edges (See
Figure 14-18. View A-A) to prevent sealer from contacting any areas beyond the deicer boot edges.
m. Apply one even coat of sealer around the edge of the installed deicer. both outside and inside of the
intake scoop and in the seam at the top of the scoop where the ends of the deicer meet.
n. Seal the area around the wire leads where they pass through the lower cowl with EC-80 I B-Class A2
Compound (MIL-S-75028).
o. Remove the masking tape from around the edges of the deicer immediately after applying the
sealer. Clean excessive cement with MEK.
p. When the boot has cooled to room temperature (70° F) repeat the resistance test prior to installation
of assembly to the engine cowling.
g. The deicers should not be operated before the cement has dried for a minimum of eight hours. Avoid
handling the deicer when removing the bottom cowling or for any other purpose to prevent damage to the
heating elements.

14-46. PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF SEALER. Propeller and lip deicers loosened due to
destruction of adhesive bond by lubricants do not respond well tore-cementing. Therefore, removal, cleaning,
and reinstallation qf the deicers are recommended. (Refer to Paragraphs 14-42, 14-42a, 14-45 and 14-45a.)
a. Clean an area .500 inch wide around the circumference of the propeller deicer down to the bare
metal. The area .250 along the recessed edge outside the intake scoop should be cleaned for the lip deicer. Use
MEK or acetone and clean thoroughly.
b. Clean outer .500 inch and back under deicers about .250 inch on all sides past loosened areas with
MEK or acetone. For final cleaning, quickly wipe off solvent with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to avoid leaving
a film.
c. Re-cement loosened areas of deicers in accordance with Paragraphs 14-44 and 14-44a.
d. Mix the filler, sealer. or paint thoroughly and in the proper proportions by weight. as given in the
following steps:
I. 82-075A/ B - one part A/ one part B.
2. 82-076-1 I 2 - Twelve parts - I I one part - 2.
3. EC-1 031/ EC-80 I - Twelve parts I031/ one hundred parts 80 I.
4. C-19861/C-21871/C-16176- one part 19861/seven parts 21871/two and two-thirds parts
16176.
e. Locate masking tape approximately . 125 inch beyond ceg1ented area around the propeller deicer
to allow application of filler directly to metal. Place masking tape along the edge of the recess on the outside
of the engine air inlet scoop to allow application of filler directly into the gap between the deicer boot and the
edge of the recess. Apply one even brush coat of 82-075A/ B filler (or EC-80 I sealer) over the. 125 inch of bare
metal, cemented area, and about .125 inch of the boot for the propeller deicers. For the lip deicer. simply fill
the gap evenly and smoothly. (See Figure 14-18.)
f. Insure that a fillet of filler completely covers the area between propeller deicer strap. the blade. and
the hub. (See Figure 14-20.) Immediately remove masking tape from propeller and I or engine inlet lip and
allow filler to dry for six hours. Dress the leads as shown in Figures 14-20 and 14-21.
g. Apply new masking tape approximately .125 inch beyond filler to allow application of sealer
directly to the mounting surface. Apply one even brush coat of 82-076-112 sealer (or C-1986l!C-16176
paint) over .125 inch of mounting surface, filled area, and .250 inch of deicer. (See Figure 14-19.)
h. Insure that sealer completely covers area between deicer strap and blade on propeller. (See Figure
14-20.) Sealer must also completely cover the area between the deicer and edge of recess on the outside of
the engine air inlet lip. Immediately remove masking tape and allow sealer to dry for 24 hours before starting
engine.

14-48. ELECTRICAL CHECK OF DEICERS.

a. Propeller Deicers:
I. If the propeller is installed on an airplane, the deicer circuits on the propeller must be
electrically isolated from the rest of the airplane wiring when making the following resistance check. The
isolating can be done by removing the brush block. disconnecting the timer and engine wire harness at any
convenient place, or by retracting the brushes and slipping a sheet of paper between the brushes and the slip
rings. If the latter method is used, make certain that the brushes are not misaligned or damaged by insertion
of the paper shim.
2. Check the electrical resistance of each of the elements within the deicer, by checking between
the terminals. (Refer to Schematic, Figure 14-15 and Resistance Readings in Table XIV-V.)
NOTE
The resistance values for Step 2 of this paragraph apply only to

deicers that are completely disconnected from the terminal studs
and electrical connectors.
3. Check the electrical resistance of the elements in parallel by checking between the slip rings.
(Refer to Figure 14-15 and Table XIV-V.) ·
NOTE
Make all continuity checks of the propeller deicer circuits with the
boot switch OFF and the propeller stationary.
I Revised: 4/25/83 6018

4. Check for intermittent open circuits by tensioning the deicer harness slightly while measuring
the resistance. Also, press lightly on the deicer surface in the area adjacent to the strap retainer. Resistance
must not vary.
5. Identification of the circuits within the element may be confrrmed by referring to 'the
resistance values and schematic diagram, Figure 14-15 .. Proper identification is necessary in order to make
the system cycle properly and to obtain the correct amperage values during system operation. Minimum
and maximum ohms between common ground and either of the other terminals is 4.58 to 5.26 ohms.
6. Reconnect circuits that may have been disconnected and remove paper shims, if installed.
b. Inlet Lip Deicer:
1. The air inlet deicer may be checked simply by disconnecting the harness plug and the
ground connection inside the lower engine cowl. The upper cowl will have to be removed to do this.
2. Check the electrical resistance of each of the elements by checking between each pin in the
plug and the ground lead. Pin 1 is the Parting Strip element; Pin 2 is the Shedding Area I element, and Pin 3
is the Shedding Area II element. (Refer to Figu~e 14-15 and Table XIV-V or Table XIV-VA.)
3. System power may be checked, and cycle time and sequence can be checked by using a
voltmeter and checking the pins in the connector on the aircraft harness with system power on.
4. Reconnect the circuit and install the engine cowl.
14-49. INSTALLATION OF PROPELLER DEICER STRAPS AND WIRE HARNESS.

a. The deicer lead strap is fastened to the bulkhead in the same positions from which they were
removed.
b. The deicer strap is to be attached to the studs on the spinner bulkhead.
CAUTION
Never use Type "B" star washer (teeth on outer diameter)

adjacent to tongue of deicer terminals.
c. Make certain that there is no slack in the deicer lead strap between the terminals and the clip.
This is important because it assures enough slack between the clip and the strap restrainer to allow for
proper feathering. A test should be conducted on each propeller deicing system to insure that deicer lead
straps are installed in such a manner that the propeller can be moved from full low pitch through the
feathering position without placing the straps in tension.
NOTE
Deicers should have a piece of gray plastic bonded to the air side
(shiny side) of the deicer strap as shown in Figure 14-23.
d. If damage occurs to slip ring wire harness, rubber spacers or hose clamps, replace damaged parts.
14-50. BALANCING. To assure balance of the propeller assembly, the original balancing weights or their
equivalents must be reinstalled. The weights must be left in their original position on the propeller hub. The
restrainer and weights should not interfere with any part of the propeller assembly under any condition. If
for any reason balance weights were removed, reinstall safety wire on screws.
6D19
581
FigUre 14-23. Propeller Blade in Feather Position
14-5L FINAL ELECTRICAL CHECK.

a. Make certain all terminals are tight but not over-torqued.
b. Make sure insulation on all wires is in good condition, especially engine compartment.
c. Make sure all wire ties are tight and in proper places to prevent chafmg or interruption of moving
parts caused by loose wires.
d. Make sure all wires are tight in connectors and no bare portion of a wire will short on any nearby
object.
e. Make sure wires are not sharply bent, pinched, or pulled tight in their normally installed location.
14-52. OTHER COMPONENTS. Do not attempt internal repairs of the timer, ·ammeter or switches. If
inoperative, these components must be replaced with one of the correct part numbers. For any other repair or
maintenance problems not covered in this manual, inquire at B. F. Goodrich Engineered Systems Company
Division of the B. F. Goodrich Company, Akron, Ohio 44318.
14-53. TIMER TEST. Field experience indicates that too often the timer is considered at fault when the
true trouble lies elsewhere. Before removing a timer as defective, perform this test:
a. Disconnect wire harness at timer and with deicer switch ON, check voltage from Pin B of harness
plug to ground. If system voltage is not present, the fault is not in the timer. If system voltage is present at
Pin B, check ground circuit using ohmmeter from PinG to ground. If no continuity is shown, the fault is in
ground lead, not in timer. If ground connection is open, the timer step switch will not change position.
Reissued: 2/6/81 ACCESSORIES AND UTLITIES
6020
b. When power and ground circuits have been checked, connect a jumper wire from Pin B of harness
to B contact of timer socket. Connect a jumper wire from Pin G of harness to G contact of timer socket to
complete the power circuit. Now use voltmeter from ground to the timer socket and check that timer is
cycling to deliver system voltage to C, D, E, and F contacts in that order. (The starting point is not
important, but sequence must be as given.) Each of these four contacts must deliver voltage for
approximately 34 seconds, in turn, and there must be zero voltage on the three contacts not energized.
c. If the timer meets these requirements, it is not the cause of the trouble. If it fails to perform as
indicated, the trouble does lie in the timer, and it should be replaced.

14-54 .. PNEUMATIC DEICING SYSTEM.
14-55. INTRODUCTION. This portion of Section XIV provides service and maintenance procedures for
the pneumatic deicing system. This information is current as of the time of this issue.
14-56. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION. Each deicer boot is essentially a fabric
reinforced rubber sheet, containing built-in inflation tubes. The deicers are attached, by means of cement,
to the leading edge of the surfaces to be protected.
The deicers are installed along the leading edges of each wing and the tail surfaces. All sections operate
simultaneously. There are flexible air connections on the backside of the deicers called "air connection
stems." Each stem projects from the underside of the boot into the leading edge, through a round hole
provided in the metal skin, for connection to the airplane air supply system.
Vacuum is applied to the deicer boots at all times by means of the deicer ejector, except when they
are being inflated. Deicer inflation is affected by the deicer system control switch. When the system control
switch is actuated, the timer energizes the deicer solenoid engage valve for 6 seconds. This valve shuts off
the vacuum to the system and directs pressurized air to all the deicers in the system inflating them. The
deicer pressure, normally 20 psig is regulated bleed air from the compressor turbine section of each engine.
The bleed air leaves the bleed port on both engines at a temperature of 600°F and a pressure of 90 psi. and
travels to the intercoolers where the heat exchange process is taking place. As the air is cooled it is routed
to check valves and on to a tee in the line where a water separator is mounted. This separator removes any
moisture frnm the air before it enters the pressure regulator. This regulator decreases the pressure from 90
psi, down to 18 psi.+ 1,-3 psi. for door seal and deicer operation (Refer to Section XIII, or XIII A for Door Seal
System.) This pressure regulator is backed up by a pressure relief valve which cracks open at 21 psi. and
becomes full open at 26 psi. should the regulator fail to open. This regulated air is then routed to a three
way valve which directs the pressurized air to the deicer system. Upon automatic de-energization of the
solenoid valve by the timer, system pressure is bled to ambient by means of the ejector. This process of
bleeding air overboard creates the system vacuum which is then reapplied to the deicers to hold them close
to the surface skin. Pneumatic system pressure can be monitored during deicer inflation through the
pneumatic pressure gauge located on the instrument panel.
A thin coating of conductive cement is provided over the neoprene ply· to dissipate static electric
charges. These charges, if allowed to accumulate, would eventually discharge through the boot to the metal
skin beneath, causing static interference with the radio equipment and possible punctures in the rubber.
Also, such static charges would constitute a temporary flre hazard after each flight.
14-57. TROUBLESHOOTING. In the utilization of the troubleshooting charts at the end of these
instructions, it must be assumed that the engine bleed air system and the airplane electrical system are
operational. It is further assumed that the deicer system installation was made in an approved manner.
14-58. OPERATIONAL CHECK. The pneumatic deicing system should be checked at least every 100
hours. This check can be done on the ground. A visual inspection should be performed to determine the
condition of the deicer boots, and any areas in need of repair should be taken care of before continuing
with the operational check of the system.
With one engine operating, turn on the deicing system. The pressure will fluctuate as the tubes inflate
and deflate. Check the pneumatic pressure gauge. If pressure is satisfactory, observe the operation of the
deicers carefully for evidence of malfunctioning. Look for tubes which leak or fail to inflate and deflate
properly. Repeat the procedure for the other engine.
14-59. ELECTRICAL TEST. With engines off, turn airplane battery switch to ON position.
a. Deicer Solenoid Engage Valve: Check the valve located beneath the center floorboard just aft of
fuselage station 162.60. Turn system switch to ON position. Solenoid valve should be actuated immediately
for 6 seconds, as evidenced by an audible "click" t~t can be felt if hand is placed on the solenoid. If

6E4
solenoid valve does not function:

I. Disconnect wires at solenoid. Attach test light or other suitable test equipment to connector
and reactuate system switch. If test equipment does not indicate complete circuit:
(a) Check circuit from timer, to solenoid connector, to ground.
(b) Replace timer.
2. Use ohmmeter to check solenoid for open circuit. If solenoid circuit is open, replace
solenoid valve.
14-60. PRESSURE LEAKAGE TEST.
a. Connect a source of clean air to the deicer air system at the outlet port of the deicer solenoid
engage valve. It is necessary that the inlet pressure be 20 psig to perform this test. Observe the system
pressures on the airplane's pneumatic pressure gauge.
b. Apply 20 psig pressure to the system by means of a hand operated on-off valve.
c. Wait until system pressure stabilizes; then tum hand valve OFF trapping the pressure in the deicer
system.
d. Observe the system for leakage. The leakage rate should not exceed a pressure drop of 4 psig per
minute.
e. Release system pressure; remove test equipment; lubricate all threads and replace any
components that were removed.
14-61. PNEUMATIC REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT. The pneumatic pressure regulator is adjusted by the
manufacturer to provide adequate pressure for the aircraft pneumatic system. The regulator may be
checked by removing the fuselage floorboard panel closest to fuselage station 162.60. The regulator is
located on the right side of the fuselage. To check for proper operation of the regulator, start one engine
and observe pneumatic pressure gauge. The gauge should read 18 psi. The regulated air pressure can be
increased by loosening the jam nut on the top of the regulator and tum the adjustment screw clockwise;
then tighten jam nut. To decrease pressure the adjustment screw is turned counterclockwise. When proper
pressure is set, reconnect the pneumatic line to the regulator outlet port; start one engine and check the
pneumatic pressure gauge against that of the test instnu~ent just used. If the reading·differs, the pneumatic
pressure gauge is inaccurate and should be replaced.
14-62. COMPONENT MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT.
14-63. TIMER. No field maintenance is recommended. See Parts Catalog for replacement or vendor for
repairs.
14-64. INSPECTIONS. A ground check of the entire deicer system should be made at least every 100
hours. To permit ground checking the system without engine operation, disconnect the pneumatic system
(engine bleed air) line at the engine and connect a hose from shop air to the pneumatic line with air
regulated to 22 psig. The system operating pressure is 18 psig.
Before checking the system,"all deicers should be inspected for damaged areas and repaired according
to the procedure in this section outlining the cold patch or vulcanized repairs. In order to check the system,
a deicer piping diagram drawing is necessary to determine the operating pressure and the inflation time
allotted to the deicers.
14-65. GROUND PROCEDURE. After the test pressure range is established, connect an external source of
air providing this pressure to the test plug. A check valve in the line prevents ~ from being forced back
through the engine bleed air ports. Activate the system and check the operatmg pressure. The pressure
should be within 1 psig of the recommended operating pressure with eac~ inflation. .
If the deicers do not reach the operating pressure, check the solen01d valve for proper operatton. If the
boots deflate slowly, the lines or ejector assembly may be plugged. The system should inflate in approximately
6 seconds.

14-66. 100-HOUR INSPECfiON. At each 100-hour inspection of the airplane, inspect and operate the
deicer boots. Make checks as follows:
a. Carefully inspect the deicers for evidence of damage or deterioration and repair or replace
damaged boots.
b. Resurface boots which show signs of considerable wear or deterioration.
c. Inspect all hose connections which fonn a part of the pneumatic deicing system. Replace
deteriorated sections of non-kink hose.
d. Check the operation of the boots and the operating pressure of the system as outlined in
Paragraph 14-58.
e. If new or replacement boots have been installed, check the tube inflation to make sure that the
air connection stems have been properly connected.
f. Disconnect all drain lines in the system and check for proper drainage.
g. Check the on-off control switch for freedom of action. Check associated electric wiring.
14-67., REMOVAL OF BOOTS. The removal of deicer boots should be done in a well ventilated area to
avoid difficulty from the fumes of the solvents. Materials required to remove the boots ar'e: Turco 388 or
Kelite 21, to remove dried cement, and MEK (Methylethylketone) in squirt can.
NOTE
Disconnect line fittings from boot fittings.
a. Starting at one corner of the upper trailing edge of the deicer, apply a minimum amount of
solvent to the seam line while tension is applied to peel back the corner of the deicer.
b. Using a pressure handle squirt can filled with solvent, separate the deicer boot from the surface
for a distance of 4 inches all the way along the upper trailing edge. ,
c. The area between the deicer and the wing which has now been separated will act as a reservoir for
the solvent, therefore, the deicer can be pulled down towards the leading edge with a unifonn tension.
d. From the centerline of the leading edge to the lower -trailing edge of the deicer, use the pressure
handle squirt can to soften the bond between the deicer and the wing skin.
e. Use Kelite 21 or Turco 388 to clean the dry cement off the exposed wing area and clean the area
thoroughly with MEK (Methylethylketone).

14-68. REPAIR OF BOOTS. Deicer repairs are classified as cold, when made on the boot installed on the
airplane, and vulcanized, made on the demounted boot in the shop.
14-69. COLD REPAIR. The materials and supplies for making cold repairs are listed in Table XIV-VIII.
a. SCUFF DAMAGE: This type of damage will be most commonly encountered and, fortunately,
it is not necessary in most cases to make a repair. On those rare occasions when the scuff is severe and has
caused the removal of the entire thickness of surface ply in spots (the brown natural rubber underneath is
exposed), repair the damage using Part No. 7 4-451-16 and proceed as follows:
1. Clean the area around the damage with a cloth dampened slightly with solvent. Buff the area
around the damage with 74-451-75 emery buffing stick so that it is moderately but completely roughened.
Wipe the buffed area with a clean cloth slightly dampened with solvent to remove all loose particles.
2. Select a patch of ample size to cover the damaged area. Apply one even thorough coat of
cement, Part No. 74-451-20, to the patch and the corresponding damaged area. Allow cement to set a
couple of minutes until tacky.
3. Apply the patch to the deicer with an edge, or the center, adhering first. Work down the
remainder of the patch carefully to avoid trapping air pockets. Thoroughly roll the patch with
stitcher-roller, Part No. 74-451-73, and allow to set for ten to fifteen minutes.
4. Wipe the patch and surrounding area from the center outward with a cloth slightly
dampened with solvent. Apply one light coat of A-56-B conductive cement, Part No. 74-451-11, to the
patched area.
5. Satisfactory adhesion of patch to deicer will be reached in four hours. Deicer may be
inflated for checking repair in a minimum of 20 minutes.
b. TUBE AREA DAMAGE: Repair cuts, tears, or ruptures to the tube area with fabric reinforced
patches, Part No. 74-451-16, -17,-18 or -19, depending on size of damage area.
1. Select a patch of ample size to cover the damage and to extend to at least 5/8 inch beyond
the ends and edges of the cut or tear. If none of the patches is of proper size, cut one to the size desired
from one of the larger patches. If this is done, bevel the edges by cutting with the shears at an angle.
NOTE
These patches are manufactured so that they will stretch in one

direction only. Be sure to cut and apply the patch selected so that
stretch is in the widthwise direction of the inflatable tubes.
2. Buff the area around the damage with buffing stick, Part No. 74-451-75, so that the surface
is thoroughly roughened.
3. Apply the ·patch to the deicer with the stretch in the widthwise direction of the inflatable
tubes, sticking edge of patch in place, working remainder down with slight pulling action so the injury is
closed. Do not trap air between patch and deicer surface.
c. LOOSE SURFACE PLY IN DEAD AREA (NON-INFLATABLE AREA): Peel and trim the loose
surface ply to the point where the adhesion of surface ply to the deicer is good.
1. Scrub (roughen) area in which surface ply is removed with steel wool. Scrubbing motion
must be parallel to cut edge of surface ply to prevent loosening it. Buff the edges of the adjoining surface
ply 1/2 inch with 74-451-75 buffmg sticks, taper down to the tan rubber ply. Remove loose particles with
solvent and rag.
2. Cut a piece of surface ply material, Part No. 74-451-23, to cover the damaged area and
extend at least one inch beyond in all directions.

cement to set until tacky. Roll the surface ply to the deicer with 2 inch rubber roJler, Part No. 74-451-74.
Roll edges with stitcher-roller, Part No. 74-451-73. Apply just enough tension on the surface ply when
rolling to prevent wrinkling and be careful to prevent trapping air. If air blisters appear after surface ply is
applied, remove them with a hypodermic needle.
4. Clean excess cement from deicer with solvent.
d. LOOSE SURFACE PLY IN TUBE AREA: Loose surface ply ih tube area is usually an indication
of the deicer starting to flex fail. This type of failure is more easily detected in the form of a blister under
the surface ply when deicer is pressurized. If this type of damage (or void) is detected while still a small
blister (about 1/4 or 3/8 inch diameter) and patched immediately, the service life of the deicer will be
appreciably extended. Apply repair patch as outlined in Paragraph a.
e. DAMAGE TO FABRIC BACK PLY OF DEICER DURING REMOVAL: If cement has pulled
loose from the wing skin and adhered to the back surface of the deicer, remove it with clean rags and MEK.
In those spots where the coating has pulled off the fabric, leaving bare fabric exposed, apply at least two
additional coats of cement, Part No. 74-451-24. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly.
14-70. VULCANIZED REPAIR. It is recommended that vulcanized repairs be made by an approved

Deicer Installation Station. The prime purpose of making vulcanized repairs is to make the deicer
completely fit for further service. Careful consideration must be given to the overall condition of the deicer.
If large parts of the stretch area of a deicer are cracked or checked to a depth of over 0.005 inch, no
attempt to repair should be made. Deicers with occasional slight checks in the stretch area may be given a
coating of conductive cement to make them serviceable. If the checking is rather deep but restricted to a

small area, the deicer may be made serviceable by repairing the damaged area. Deicers which have been
swelled or softened by contact with oil or other harmful agents, should be scrapped. Injuries will vary from
minor ripping of the tube or stretch areas which may make repair exceedingly difficult or actually
impossible. The determination of just where this division between repairable and unrepairable damage exists
will, of necessity, depend upon the careful judgment of the inspector and upon the experience and training
of the workman.
14-71. MATERIALS FOR VULCANIZED REPAIRS. The effectiveness of any repair largely depends
upon an analysis of the damage and the selection of correct repair material. Deicers are compounded to
resist sunlight and weather and retain flexibility. It is recommended tl!.at only materials as listed in Table
XIV-IX be used in making vulcanized repairs. They are sufficient to supply a one or two man unit for a
period of from four to six weeks, repairing deicers with the average amount of miscellaneous types of
repairs. Select materials specified for making each repair and avoid substitution. Since many of the
materials are dusted with soapstone, wash all materials carefully with washing or cleaning solvent before
using. Table XIV-X lists the tools and equipment which have been found suitable for repair work. They are
designed for a one or two man repair unit.
14-72. DEFINITION OF TERMS. Terms used in the following instructions are explained below:
a. Wash -to clean a surface by means of a clean cloth moistened with Toluol or MEK. (Benzine or
non-leaded gas may be used in place of cleaning solvent.) Do not permit free solvents to remain on any
surfaces.
b. Route - to remove rubber surfaces around area to be repaired with a hex nut on a shaft attached
to electric buffer.
c. Buff- to roughen surfaces with Carborundum buffmg sticks or abrasive paper.
d. Cement - to apply two light coats of fifty-fifty mixture of No. 60 and 61 vulcanizing cements,
unless otherwise specified. Let each coat dry before proceeding.
e. Gum -uncured rubber stock. If cured stock is to be used, it will be so stated.
f. Face Side of Deicer- the side exposed when installed; the conductive surface side.
g. Restore Conductive Surface -after curing a repair on the surface size; apply two coats of A-56-B
conductive cement.

6E12
NOTE
Do not apply A-56-B conductive cement in any area of any

electrical transmitting or receiving equipment.
h. Stitch - to force fabrics or gum elements together with metal or rubber roller; stitch from the
center toward the edges to prevent trapping air between the elements.
14-73. GENERAL PROCEDURE. Select a repair room with adequate ventilation and air free of dust and
foreign matter. Keep the work bench clean so that foreign objects will not contaminate cement, solvents, or
damage deicers, and perform the following steps:
a. Before starting a vulcanized repair, thoroughly clean a fairly large area surrounding the damaged
portion, as well as the damage portion itself, of any grease, dirt or talc. Use a neutral soap and water
solution; rinse clean and dry with clean cloth.
b. Immediately around area to be repaired, wash carefully with clean cloth moistened in Toluol or
Methylethylketone (MEK) Federal Specification TI-M-261.
c. When routing around a deicer injury, remove or cover all cement containers so that dust particles
flying from grinding stone will not contaminate the cement.
d. After buffing or routing an area, remove all dust from the surface of deicer and table.
e. Protect all completed repairs from dust and dirt with a clean piece of holland cloth. Hold holland
in place with masking tape. Remove masking tape before curing.
f. Release all air trapped between gum and fabric surfaces and/or deicer surfaces by inserting a
hypodermic needle through the ply to the air pocket.
g. Before vulcanizing, remove all excess cement and dust particles by washing with solvent.
h. Use clean brushes when making repairs. Oil, paint, or other residue may impair adhesion. Clean
cement brushes with Benzine or non-leaded gasoline at end of each work day.
i. Use approved safety can for Toluol or MEK. Take screen and spring out of solvent cans before
filling so that all sediment may be removed.
j. Cements should be of such a consistency that they can be applied in a thin smooth coating. If
they are partially set up or lumpy, addition of the proper solvent may restore their usable characteristics.
Otherwise, do not use.
k. Do not attempt repairs in temperatures under 40°F with listed materials.
I. When humidity is high, moisture may form on freshly washed or cemented areas. If this
condition occurs, wipe moisture off with a clean cloth slightly dampened in solvent before proceeding with
repair.
m. If but a small area is involved in repair, and temperature or drying conditions are prohibitive, a
small canopy erected over the area, under which a lighted electric light bulb is placed, may make repair
possible.
n. When repairing deicers, cleanliness is of prime importance. Keep materials, tools, equipment, and
hands clean at all times.
14-74. CURING. The vulcanizer listed in Table XIV-X is adjusted at the factory to heat to 285° ± 5°F
with the line voltage as specified on the name plate. All curing times called for in this manual are for
285°F. If line voltage is low, the vulcanizer will not heat to 285°F, and, therefore, curing times must be
longer than specified.
Since the curing time varies with the type and position of repair being cured, the times are given for
each specified type of repair. Cure repairs as follows:

NOTE
Over-curing destroys the flexibility of the deicer. Under-curing

prevents the proper bond from taking place. Therefore, always
watch cure time and temperature carefully.
a. Preheat vulcanizer.
b. Place sponge pad over bottom of unheated plate.
c. Place a piece of clean, unwrinkled (or sillcone treated paper) over sponge pad; then place deicer
in position over holland, with area to be cured centrally located over bottom platen. (Repair side up.)
d. Place another piece of smooth, clean holland over spot to be cured.
NOTE
If holland or silicone treated paper is not available, spread a thin

coat of soapy water over surfaces of metal curing sheet and sponge
pad. Allow to dry thoroughly. This will prevent sticking.

Figure 14-27. Marking and Cutting Scuff Figure 14-28. Routing Scuff
e. Place a metal curing sheet over holland and clamp heating element in place. The size of the metal
curing plate must be at least one inch larger overall than the heating plate. Tighten heater by hand firmly
but not excessively.
f. Cure for full time as given for each type of repair.
g. Test each repair thoroughly after it has cured to determine if fully cured. Test also the strength
and soundness of repair. If, in the stretch or other area (except tube), flex and stretch the area by hand
several times, and then carefully examine for soundness. If in a tube, inflate to 25 psig.
14-75 .. SURFACE SCUFFS. Repair as follows:

a. Wash surface to be restored and apply one coat of conductive cement. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Add another coat and allow to dry. Dip fmger in conductive cement solvent (Isopropyl Acetate) and rub
down with light circular movement. Do not allow fmger to become dry.
b. Wipe surface lightly with cloth moistened in Isopropyl Acetate.
c. Inspect for high or low places. High places require additional rubbing down. For low spots, repeat
the last three steps.
d. Allow to dry thoroughly and dust lightly with soapstone.

prevent the surface ply from peeling beyond the area marked when using buffer. Area should include full
width of tube and approximately 1/2 inch beyond cut.
b. Using buffer, route down to tube fabric. Extreme care should be taken while using buffer so that
surface ply beyond repair area is not loosened, and tube fabric is not injured. Wash out area.
c. Cut tube fabric patch slightly larger than size of cavity, making sure that stretch of fabric is
across width of tube.
d. Cement buffed area and contact surface of tube fabric patch. Apply tube fabric full size of cavity
and stitch. Remove any trapped air using hypodermic needle. Roll up a small piece of 0.005 inch gum

Figure 14-35. Placing and Stitching Gum Figure 14-36. Removing Trapped Air
14-83. PREPARATION OF LEADING EDGES. If the leading edges are painted, remove all paint
including zinc chromate primer.
a. With one inch ( 1) masking tape, mask off leading edge boot area, following 1/2 inch margin for
non-recessed boots. Take care to mask accurately, thus eliminating the need for cleaning off excess cement
later.
b. Clean the metal surfaces thoroughly, at least twice, with MEK or acetone. For final cleaning,
wipe the solvent film off quickly with a clean dry cloth before it has time to dry.
NOTE
If desired, zinc chromate primer may be reapplied over bare

leading edges. When hard, scuff sand chromate surfaces; then clean
before application of cement.
NOTE
It is permissible to install deicers on alodined or anodized surfaces.
c. Fill gaps of skin splices that lead under deicers with sealing compound EC-801.
d. Remove the sump plugs from the air connection grommets. In some cases, it will be necessary to
remove sections of doped fabric used to cover the air connection holes. Draw out the ends of the non-kink
hose section so that they protrude through the connection holes in the leading edge. If hose is cracked or
deteriorated, replace with new hose.

6E19
Figure 14-37 .. Masking Repair Figure 14-38. Applying Neoprene Putty
14-84. PREPARATION OF DEICER. Moisten a clean cloth with MEK or acetone and carefully clean the
rough, back surface of the boot at least twice. Change cloths frequently to avoid recontamination of the
cleaned areas.
14-85. MOUNTING DEICER ON LEADING EDGE. Thoroughly mix EC-1300L cement before using.
Apply one even brush coat to the cleaned back surface of the boot and to the cleaned metal surface. Allow
the cement to air dry for a minimum of one hour. Apply a second coat to both surfaces and allow to air dry
a minimum of one hour. Ambient temperature for installation should be held between 40° and ll0°F.
However, longer drying time of the cement coats may be required as the humidity approaches 99%. Deicer
and leading edge may be cemented for a maximum of 48 hours before actual installation, if cemented parts
are covered and kept clean.
Snap a chalk line along the leading edge of the airfoil section. Intensify chalk line on leading edge and
the white reference line on the boot with a ball point pen. Most boots are made with an excess of material
at the inboard and outboard edges for fmal trimming after installation and some recessed boots trim on the
upper and lower edges.
Securely attach hose to deicer connections using clamps or safety wire.
a. Holding the backside of the boot close to the leading edge, fasten the end of each non-kink hose
to the corresponding air connection stem. Tinnerman or other suitable non-kink hose clamps should be
used for this purpose. Tighten each clamp with a pair of slip joint pliers but do not squeeze the clamp so
tight that the hose is damaged.

6E20
NOTE
If non-kink hose clamps are not available, wrap each hose

connection with several turns of friction tape. Over the tape wrap
two separate bindings of safety wire, about 1/2 inch apart. Each of
these bindings should consist of several turns of wire. Twist
together the ends of each binding to tighten. Press the twisted
ends down against the hose. Finally, wrap the wire with several
additional turns of friction tape.
b. Push the hose connections into the leading edge grommets or seals, as the case may be. Obtain
sufficient personnel to hold boot steadv during installation. (Limit handling cemented side of boot with
fmgers.) Continue installation by reactivating the cement alomz the centerline leading edge surface and boot
in spanwise strips approximately 6 inches wide. Rubber roll the deicer fmnly against the wing leading edge,
being careful not to trap any air under the deicer. Always roll parallel to the inflatable tubes. Position the
deicer centerline to coincide with leading edge centerline. Hold boot in this position while reactivating
about 3 inches around connections and around corresponding holes in leading edge, using a clean lint-free
cloth moistened with Toluol. Insert connections in leading edge holes when cement has dried to a tacky
state and rubber roll boot to leading edge in tackified area. ·
c. If the deicer should attach "off course," use MEK to remove and reposition properly. Avoid
twisting or sharp bending of the deicer.
d. Rubber roll, apply pressure over entire surface of the deicer. All rolling should be done parallel to
the inflatable tubes. Roll trailing edges with a narrow stitcher-roller.
CAUTION
Avoid excessive soaking or rubbing of the cement which could

remove the cement from the surf~ce.
Remove all masking tapes and clean surfaces carefully with Toluol so that no solvent will run under
deicer edges.
e. Apply masking tape to deicer edges where exposed trimmed ends or gaps between sections are to
be filled with MMM EC-80 I sealing compound.
Apply masking tape to deicer approximately 1/4 inch in from trailing edges and tape wing skin
approximately 1/4 inch from trailing edges, both forming a neat, straight line.
f. Apply a brush coat of A-56-B cement to surfaces between tapes and to EC-801 seams, being sure
that the conductive coating (A-56-B) is continuous from the deicer surface to the wing painted surface.
g. Remove taps immediately after applyin2 A-56-B cement (before cement dries).
NOTE
Application of A-56-B conductive cement is not necessary on

deicers that have "CONDUCTIVE" noted on labels.

Reissued: 2/6/81 6E21
CAUTION
The cements and solvents used for installation are flammable and
their fumes slightly toxic. Therefore, all work should be done in a
well ventilated area away from any sparks or flames. (Use of
solvent resistant type gloves is recommended.)
In the event it becomes necessary to remove or loosen installed boots, use Toluol to soften the
"adhesion" line. A minimum of this solvent should be applied to the seam line while tension is applied to
peel back the boot. This removal should be slow enough to allow the solvent to undercut the cement, thus
preventin~~:,injury to the part. Excessive quantities of solvent must be avoided.
14-86. ADHESION TEST. Using excess boot material trimmed from the ends of any wing and empennage
deicers, prepare one test specimen for each deicer installed. This specimen should be a 1 x 8 inch full
thickness strip of boot material cemented to the wing skin adjacent to installed boot following the identical
procedure used for installation. Leave one inch of the strip uncemented to attach a clamp. Four hours or
more after the installation, attach a spring scale to the uncemented end of each strip and measure the force
required to remove strip at the rate of one inch per minute. The pull should be applied 180° to the surface.
(Strip doubled back on itself.)
A minimum of five pounds tension (pull) shall be required to remove the test strip. If less than five
pounds is required, then acceptability of the boot adhesion shall be based on the following tests:
a. Carefully lift one corner of boot in question sufficiently to attach a spring clamp.
b. Attach a spring scale to this clamp and pull with force 180° to the surface and in such a direction
that the boot tends to be removed on the diagonal.
c. If a force of five pounds per inch of width can be exerted under these conditions, the installation
shall be considered satisfactory. Remember, the width increases as the corner peels back.
d. Re-cement corner following previous procedure:
e. Failure to meet this requirement. shall result in reinstallation of the boot.
NOTE
Possible reasons for failure are: dirty surfaces, cement not

reactivated properly, cement not mixed thoroughly. Corrosion of
the metal skin may occur if good adhesion is not attained,
especially around rivet heads and metal skin splices.
If these adhesion requirements are met, the airplane may be flown immediately. Do not inflate deicers
within 12 hours of installation or until adhesion strength of 8 to 10 pounds is obtained.
14-87. MAINTENANCE. Clean deicers when the airplane is washed with a mild soap and water solution.
In cold weather, wash the boot~ with the airplane inside a warm hangar if possible. If the cleaning is to be
done outdoors, heat the soap and water solution before taking it out to the airplane. If difficultv is
encountered with the water freezing on the boots, direct a blast of warm air along the region being cleaned,
using a portable type ground heater.
As alternates, use Benzol or non-leaded gasoline. Moisten the cleaning cloth in solvent, scrub lightly,
and then, with a clean, dry cloth, wipe dry so that the cleaner does not have time to soak into the rubber.
Petroleum products such as these are injurious to rubber ann, therefore, should be used sparingly.

14:-88. AGEMASTER NO. I AND ICEX APPLICATION. Agemaster No. I and Icex are chemical
treatments that will. when properly applied. increase the life and efficiency of the deicer boots. Although not
required. it is recommended that both Agemaster and Icex treatments be applied when treating boots.
Agemaster No. l is a chemical treatment that penetrates and bonds to the rubber surface, protecting them
effectively from ozone attack and premature deterioration. To insure proper protection of the deicer boots,
Agemaster No. I should be applied at !50 flight hour intervals and prior to the application of Icex.
lcex is a specially compounded silicone base material which effectively reduces the adhesion of ice to
rubber. This compound was developed for use on deicer boots, rubber abrasion boots and other rubber
surfaces. When properly applied and renewed (at !50 flight hour intervals) lcex will provide a smooth polished
film that evens out the microscopic irregularities on the rubber surfaces to assist the boots in removing ice
quickly and cleanly. Agemaster No. I and lcex are applied as follows:
a. There are four approved methods of applying Agemaster No. I. brushing. swabbing, rolling and
dipping (prior to boot installation).
WARNING
Agemaster should never be sprayed as aeration will occur causing an

extreme fire hazard as well as the loss of vital compounds needed for
the protective agents to penetrate the rubber. Container should be
kept tightly closed when not in use. Apply Agemaster only in a well
ventilated area.
I. Thoroughly clean the boot surfaces of oil. grease and wax with mild soap and water solution.
2. Rinse boots with clean water to ensure that all soap is removed.
NOTE
Ensure all soap is removed from under the leading edges.
3. To prevent staining the surfaces. adjacent to the boots. mask around each edge of the boot
being treated.
NOTE
To ensure proper treatment of the boots. a minimum of two coats of

Agemaster No. I is required. A total of 0. 75 fluid ounces per square
foot (200 millimeters per square meter) should be applied. One
gallon will treat approximately 150 to 170 square feet (14 to 18
square meters).
4. Of the four application methods mentioned above, swabbing is the preferred method for
installed deicer boots. If the swabbing method is selected, plastic or rubber gloves should be used to prevent
the staining of the skin. Apply Agemaster by moistening a two inch by four inch swab of lint-free cloth and
rub into the boot surface with smooth uniform strokes. The swab should be kept wet but not dripping. Cover
the surface evenly and completely. Allow the first coat to dry five to ten minutes before applying a second coat.
I Revised: 4/25/83 ACCESSORIES AND UTILITIES

6E23
5. If the brush or roller method is to be used. apply a single heavy coat at the rate of 0.4 to 0. 5
fluid ounces per square feet ( 130 to 160 millimeters per square meter) using three inch trim roller. Cover the
surface completely and evenly and allow to dry five to ten minutes. A second coat may be applied after the
first coat has dried thoroughly.
6. If the boots are to be handled, allow to dry for at least 30 to 40 minutes before doing so. Allow
boots to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before applying lcex.
b. Icex like Agemaster, is best applied using the swabbing method. Application of lcex should be made
whenever the boots require treatment (approximately every 150 flight hours). It is recommended that lcex be
applied only after the boots have been treated with Agemaster No. I.
I. When applying lcex with a swab apply in a continuous back and forth (spanwise) motion.
2. If lcex is to be applied without first applying Agemaster No. I thoroughly clean the deicer
boots with a mild soap and water solution. Isopropyl alcohol may be used sparingly on stubborn stains.
However. after using alcohol the surface must again be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. After
cleaning the boots, thoroughly rinse with clean water and allow to dry completely. Apply Icex as described
previously (one quart will cover approximately 500 square feet or 46 square meters).
NOTE
It should be noted that lcex is not a cure-all for icing problems in

that it will not prevent or remove ice formations nor will it effectively
protect against ozone attack. Its only function is to prevent ice from
strongly adhering to the rubber boots allowing easy and efficient
removal.
Too heavy an application of Icex will result in a sticky surface and

cause dirt and dust to collect on the boot reducing the efficiency
of the lcex and the boot.
14-89. RESURFACING CONDUCTIVE CEMENT. The following materials are required to remove and
replace the old, damaged coating:
a. Fine grit sandpaper.
b. Two inch paint brush.
c. One inch masking tape.
d. Conductive Neoprene cement. No. A-56-B, B.F. Goodrich Co.
e. Isopropyl Acetate, Federal Specification TT-1-720, as cleaning or thinning solvent.
f. Alternate solvent - (Toluol or Toluene may be used as an alternate for Isopropyl Acetate).
CAUTION
Cements and solvents used for resurfacing are flammable and their
fumes slightly toxic. Therefore, all work should be done in a well
ventilated area away from any sparks or flames.

Revised: 4/25/83

During cold weather. place the airplane in a warm hangar and locate so that the boots are in line with
one or more blast heaters. Do resurfacing before any other work on the airplane to allow as much time as
possible for the new coat to cure.
NOTE
If. for some reason the resurfacing cannot be done indoors, it may
be deferred at the discretion of the inspector, until a warm, clear
day permits the work to be satisfactorily accomplished outdoors.
However, if the deicers are in such condition that immediate
resurfacing is required. remove them from the airplane and
resurface in a shop.
Clean deicer thoroughly with Isopropyl Acetate.

a. Roughen entire surface of boot, using a fine grit sandpaper.
b. Clean surface again with clean, lint-free cloth moistened with cleaning solvent.
c. Apply masking tape beyond upper and lower trailing edges, leaving a I I 4 inch gap of bare metal.
d. Mask off any legible deicer brands.
e. Apply one brush coat of A-56-B cement to deicer and allow to dry at least one hour. Then apply
second coat and allow to dry at least four hours before operating deicers. Plane may be flown as soon as
cement is dry.
NOTE
If A-56-B cement has aged 3 months or over, it may be necessary

to dilute the cement with Isopropyl Acetate to obtain proper
brushing consistency. Mix thoroughly, approximately 5 parts
cement to one part Isopropyl Acetate.

14-90. ICE DETECTION LIGHT.
14-91. INTRODUCTION. This light is used in conjunction with the pneumatic deicing system and will aid
the pilot to detect any ice formation on the left wing leading edge during night flying operations.
14-92. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The light is mounted in the left outboard edge of the left
nacelle just above leading edge of the wing. It is a sealed beamed, 24-volt unit, which is controlled from a
rocker type switch mounted in the overhead switch panel. The light is positioned in the nacelle to
illuminate the leading edge of the wing when the switch is activated in the cockpit.
14-93. SERVICING. The only service required of this unit is the replacement of a burned out lamp with a
new lamp. Refer to Parts Catalog, for replacement lamp part number.
14-94. REMOVAL.
a. Be sure the switch is in the off position.
b. Remove the nacelle side access panel that the lamp assembly is mounted to and disconnect the
wire connections on the back of the lamp.
c. Remove the four clips holding the lamp to the panel and remove the lamp.
14-95. INSTALLATION.
a. Position the gasket and lamp on the panel.
b. Install the four clips and secure with screws and nuts.
c. Connect the electrical leads to the back of the lamp assembly.
d. Position the entire panel on the nacelle side and secure with screws.
e. Activate the switch in the cockpit to check the lamp operation.
14-96. HEATED WINDSHIELD. For servicing of pilot and/or co-pilot heated windshield refer to Section
IV.
14-97. WINDSHIELD WIPERS. The windshield wiper on the right windshield is operated off the same
motor as the standard wiper. A flexible shaft is routed from the left converter to the converter on the right
which operates the right wiper. (Refer to Section N.)

6F3
14-98. PROPELLER SYNCHRONIZER.
14-99. DESCRIPTION OF PROPELLER SYNCHRONIZER SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure 14-39.) The

system consists of two special overspeed governors with magnetic pickups, a control box to monitor the
system, an actuator and trimmer assembly to regulate the slave propeller governor, and a control switch and
circuit protector with related wire harnesses.
The function of the propeller synchronizer system is to automatically match the propeller RPM of
both engines. This is accomplished by using the right engine propeller governor as the master unit and the
left propeller governor as the slave unit. Both overspeed governors have magnetic pickups which feed
electrical pulses into a control box mounted on the elevator control mounting bracket below the right side of
the instrument panel. This control box detects any difference in the electrical pulses into a control box
mounted on the elevator control mounting bracket below the right side of the instrument panel. This control
box detects any difference in the electrical pulses and in turn activates a stepping type actuator motor
mounted on the left engine, which trims the left engine propeller governor through a flexible shaft from the
actuator motor to the trimmer assembly on the left engine propeller governor control, thus maintaining the
same propeller RPM as the master right propeller governor, within a limited range. The limiting range of
operation is built into the system to prevent the slave propeller governor from loosing more than a fixed
amount of propeller RPM in case the master engine and propeller is feathered with the system in operation.
NOTE
Manually set the RPM as close as possible before activating the
system. When the propellers are synchronized manually, there is a
± 50 RPM maximum effective synchronizing range when the
system is activated.
14-100. FUNCTIONAL TEST. This test should be done in flight. First synchronize the propellers manually,
and then switch the synchronizer ON. Now slowly adjust the master engine propeller governor control
lever, in small increments to increase and decrease the RPM. The RPM range over which the slave engine
will remain synchronized with the master engine is the limited range. With the system ON, move the master
engine propeller governor control lever to a point which is close to the end of this limited travel. Now turn
the system OFF. An unsynchronized condition will develop as the actuator moves the trimmer to its
mid-position. When the system is turned ON again, synchronization will resume. If the units do not
synchronize, the actuator has reached the end of its travel and must be recentered in the following manner:
a. Turn the system switch OFF. '
b. Manually synchronize the engines.
c. Turn the system switch ON.
If the system does not operate properly, perform the ground checks in accordance with Paragraph
14-101.
14-101. TROUBLESHOOTING WITH MINIMUM FIELD EQUIPMENT. The following information will
help locate system malfunction in the field with the minimum amount of equipment. The usual mechanics
tools and an ohmmeter and voltmeter are all that is needed.
14-102 .. GROUND CHECK. (Refer to Figure 14-39.)

a. Ascertain that the master switch is ON and the circuit protector is not tripped. Also, determine
that the Jones plug receptacle is properly mated with the plug in the airplane's wiring harness. The two
halves of the Jones plug should be safety wired together if it does not have retaining clips.
b. Separate the Jones plugs (9) and complete the tests listed in Table XIV-XII, Synchronizer Wiring
Test. Complete each step regardless of how recently the installation was made.

NOTE
Before starting this test, be sure the control box is unplugged, the
master switch is off, and the synchronizer circuit protector· is
pulled.
CAUTION
Do not plug in control box until this test has been satisfactorily
completed. Even with the switch OFF, the box could be seriously
damaged.
NOTE
Make the test, using an ohmmeter to a fabricated Jones pigtail

connected to the Jones plug socket. Zero the ohrnrne ter and read
on the X I or Xl 0 scaie.
CAUTION
Do not probe the Jones plugs. Use a fabricated pigtail. Failure to

do so will result in loose pin connections and faulty synchronizer
operation.
c. Visually observe the overspeed governor mounted speed pickups for oil leaks or evidence of
loosening. This could indicate a change in the pickup clearance.
d. Remove the flexible shaft at the actuator in the left engine nacelle. Insert a screwdriver in the
actuator and rotate it through its range. It should rotate freely except for the ratcheting effect of the detent
wheel. Normal output torque is 1.5 inch-pounds. Leave the actuator in the center of its range.
e. Adjust the governor trimmer by rotating the flexible shaft to check the amount of torque
required. An excellent torque level is one that allows you to adjust the trimmer by turning the squared end
of the flexible cable with your fingers. It is more difficult to tum the shaft in the decrease RPM direction.
In no case should you need a turning fixture of over .025 inch in diameter on the end of the cable to rotate
the trimmer freely throughout its full range. Recenter the trimmer and secure it to the actuator. This check
has verified an acceptable friction level of the rotating parts.

f. . Connect a pigtail to the separated Jones plug, and run the engines near cruise RPM, test Pins 6
and 8 for the slave engine pickup voltage. Test Pins 7 and 8 for' the master engine pickup voltage. These
valves should be between 1/2-volt minimum and 3-volt maximum. These are RMS voltages as read on a
5000 ohm/volt AC voltmeter. !fall the preceding tests are satisfactory, the airplane can be flown.
14-103. FLIGHT CHECKS. Perform the functional in flight test in accordance with Paragraph 14-102. If
the system will not pass this test, try the following steps:
a. With the synchronizer ON, see if the synchronizer action is affected by RPM and/or power
setting, particularly at lower cruise RPM and power settings. This would indicate a possibly unacceptably
rough governor drive. If operation at lower RPM results in improved synchronization, the drives to the
governors should be investigated.
b. Reduce the electrical load. Turn off all electrical equipment including the alternators. Leave the
master and synchronizer switches ON. If the synchronizing improves, there is a possibility that abnormal
voltage spikes on the bus from some other electrical accessory have been upsetting the synchronizer. Isolate
the offending electrical accessory and repair it. If the trouble has been traced to the control box, exchange
it for another unit.
NOTE
If troubles still persist with the system, it should be checked by an
approved governor overhaul station or the Woodward Governor
Company.

6F8
14-104. MAINTENANCE. Little maintenance is required on this system apart from visual inspection at.
the time of regular airplane inspections. Ascertain that the electrical connections, flexible shaft, and related
components are securely attached. Every 100 hours inspect the rod end assembly, paying particular
attention to the bearing.
Engine oil should be kept clean. Dirty engine oil will deposit sludge and varnish on the internal
governor parts and cause sluggish operation. This would require disassembly and cleaning of the governors
by an approved overhaul facility.
CAUTION
The control box and actuator have the capability of damagin~

each other as follows: If the control box turns on steady, it will
bum out one or both actuator motor windings. If the actuator
leads are shorted to ground, the power transistors in the control
box will be permanently damaged. Therefore, when replacing a
damaged component, complete the electrical test in Table XIV-XII
to insure the other component is undamaged.
14-105. REMOVAL OF TRIMMER ASSEMBLY. (Refer to Figure 14-42.)

a. Remove the left engine cowling.
b. Cut the safety wire between the trimmer assembly and the nut securing the flexible shaft to the
trimmer.
c. Remove the flexible shaft from the trimmer.
d. Loosen the locknut on the propeller control rod.
e. Remove the locknut, bushing, and bolt securing the trimmer rod end to the governor control
lever and remove the trimmer assembly.
14-106. INSTALLATION OF TRIMMER ASSEMBLY.

a. Position the trimmer onto the propeller control rod.
b. Align the trimmer assembly rod end with the governor control lever and secure the control rod
locknut.
c. Ascertain that the trimmer assembly is at its neutral position by rotating the splined shaft in the
trimming assembly by hand and counting the total number of turns available from stop to stop; then return
to the center position.
d. Install the bolt, bushing, and locknut securing the trimmer rod end and the governor control
lever.
e. Rig the governor control in accordance with rigging procedures given in Section VIII.
f. Again manually rotate the trimmer to one end of its travel. Now move the cockpit propeller
control through its complete range and observe the governor speed adjustment lever to be certain it hits
both maximum and minimum RPM stops. Repeat this procedure with the trimmer rotated to the opposite
end of its travel. This will assure that the standard governor rigging allows stop-to-stop travel with any
possible trimmer setting. Reposition the trimmer to its center position.
g. Before connecting the flexible shaft to the trimmer assembly, ascertain that the actuator motor is
at its center position. (Refer to Paragraph 14-109.)
h. With the trimmer assembly and actuator motor at these centered positions, connect the flexible
shaft to the trimmer and secure with nut and safety wire as shown in Figure 14-42.
i. Replace the engine cowling.

14-113. TEST EQUIPMENT. Various test equipment can be purchased from the Woodward Governor
Company of Rockford, Illinois to help accomplish a complete check of the synchronizer system, along with
their latest revision of Service Bulletin 330490. It is suggested that test instrument, PIN 213600, be purchased
from Woodward to allow complete testing of the synchronizer system. A small test instrument, PINT-46192,
can be built in the field from the diagram and parts list in Figure 14-43. This instrument has pulse indicating
lights and jacks for checking voltages and ohm values only as given in Table XIV-XII, Synchronizer Wiring
Test. Test instrument, PIN 213600, has pulse indicating lights, jacks for checking voltages and ohm values,
and an oscilliator system with which magnetic pickup output may be simulated. This allows partially checking
the control box without running the engines.
14-114. · BENCH TESTING THE ACTUATOR. Use an ohmmeter on the pins of the a9~uator di~connect.
Zero the ohmmeter and Pead on the Xl scale. Table XIV-XII steps 1 to 6 gives actuator test from the Jones
plug through the harness to the actuator. See Propeller Synchronizer Schematic and convert receptacle
numbers in Table XIV-XII to actuator leads and perform steps 1 to 6 of Table XIV-XII directly on
actuator. Replace any actuator which does not meet the values given in Table XIV-XII after bench testing.
Check for continuity of the four actuator leads, with reference to Table XIV-XIII.
If either test unit is plugged into the system during flight or ground testing, the pulsing and direction
of pulsing of the actuator will be indicated by the flashing lights of the test unit. Refer to Table XIV-XIV
for description of control box malfunction or system defects which can be detected by the lights on the
test units, along with the probable cause and suggested remedy.

14-115. PROPELLER SYNCHROPHASER. (Woodward Type I)
14-116. DESCRIPTION OF PROPELLER SYNCHROPHASER SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 14-44.) The Wood-
ward Type I S ynchrophaser consists of a control box mounted in the cockpit, an acruator mounted in the slave engine
governor and actuator, a speed sensing magnetic pickup located near three phase targets for each engine that rotate
with each propeller shaft.
The system operates o~ electronic impulses, generated by the disc targets passing the magnetic pickups, being
fed into the control box. This control box detects any difference in the electrical pulses and in tum activates a stepping
type acruator motor mounted on the left engine, which trims the left engine propeller governor through a flexible
shaft from the actuator motor to the trimmer assembly on the left engine propeller governor control, thus mantaining
the same propeller RPM as the master right propeller governor, within a limited range. Normal governor operation is
unchanged, but the synchrophaser will continuously monitor engine RPM and propeller phase angle and reset the
slave engine governor as required.
The RPM of the slave engine will follow changes in the RPM of the master engine over a predetermined limited
range. This limited range feature prevents the slave engine from losing more than a fixed amount of RPM in case the
master engine is feathered with the synchrophaser ''ON''. In this installation, the right engine is the master engine.
and then switch the synchrophaser ON. Now slowly adjust the master engine propeller governor control lever,
in small increments to increase and decrease the RPM. The RPM range over which the slave engine will
remain synchronized with the master engine is the limited range. With the system ON, move the master engine
propeller governor control lever to a point which is close to the end of this limited travel. Now turn the system
0 FF. An unsynchronized condition will develop as the actuator moves the trimmer to its mid-position. When
the system is turned ON again, synchrophasing will resume. If the units do not become synchrophased, the
actuator has reached the end of its travel and must be recentered in the following manner:
a. Turn the system switch OFF.

NOTE
If another accessory uses the same circuit protector, turn this

accessory off before starting tests. The control box must be un-
plugged for these tests also.
CAUTION
Do not probe the Jones plugs with anything thicker than .045 of an
inch in diameter. Insert and remove probe carefully. Failure to do so
will result in loose pin connections and faulty synchrophaser opera-
tion.
c. Visually observe the overspeed governor mounted speed pickups for oil leaks or evidence of loosen-
ing. This could indicate a change in the pickup clearance.
d. Remove the flexible shaft at the actuator in the left engine nacelle. Insert a screwdriver in the
actuator and rotate it through its range. It should rotate freely except for the ratcheting effect of the detent
wheel. Normal output torque is 1.5 inch-pounds. Leave the actuator in the center of its range.

Reissued: .2/6/81
6F20
e. Adjust the governor trimmer by rotating the flexible shaft to check the amount of torque required.
An excellent torque level is one that allows you to adjust the trimmer by turning the squared end of the flexible
cable with your fingers. It is more difficult to turn the shaft in the decrease RPM direction. In no case should
you need a turning fixture of over .025 inch in diameter on the end of the cable to rotate the trimmer freely
throughout its full range. Recenter the trimmer and secure it to the actuator. This check has verified an
acceptable friction level of the rotating parts.
f. Connect a pigtail to the separated Jones plug, and run the engines near cruise RPM; test Pins 6 and
8 for the slave engine synchronizer pickup voltage. Test Pins 7 and 8 for the master engine synchronizer
pickup voltage. These values should be between .85-volt minimum and 4-volt maximum for the synchronizer
pickup. These are RMS voltages as read on a 5000 ohmjvolt AC voltmeter.
g. Test Pins 9 and 8 for slave engine synchrophaser pickup voltage. Test Pins 10 and 8 for master
engine synchrophaser pickup voltage. These values should be 3 ± 0.3 volts AC.
h. If all preceding tests are satisfactory, the aircraft canbe flown.
14-120. FLIGHT CHECKS. Perform the functional test in accordance with Paragraph 14-117. If the system
will not pass this test, try the following steps:
a. With the synchrophaser ON, see if the synchrophaser action is affected by RPM and/ or power

14-121. MAINTENANCE. Little maintenance is required on this system apart from visual inspection at the
time of regular airplane inspections. Ascertain that the electrical connections, flexible shaft, and related
components are securely attached. Every 100 hours inspect the rod end assembly, paying particular attention
to the bearing.
NOTE
Rod end trimmers are lubricated with a baked-on dry Molykote.

DO NOT OIL.
Engine oil should be kept clean. Dirty engine oil will deposit sludge and varnish on the internal governor
parts and cause sluggish operation. This would require disassembly and cleaning of the governors by an
approved overhaul facility.
CAUTION
The control box and actuator have the capability of damaging each
other as follows: If the control box turns on steady, it will burn out
one or both actuator motor windings. If the actuator leads are
shorted to ground, the power transistors in the control box will be
permanently damaged. Therefore, when replacing a damaged
component, complete the electrical test in Table XIV-XVI to insure
the other component is undamaged.
14-122. REMOVAL OF TRIMMER ASSEMBLY. (Refer to Figure 14-46.)

b. Cut the safety wire between the trimmer assembly and the nut securing the flexible shaft to the
trimmer.
c. Remove the flexible shaft from the trimmer.

and clean the internal parts, such as micro-switches and electrical connections, etc. Apply Alpha-Molykote
"G "to the spiral groove of the switch actuating disc at the end of the motor.

NOTE
The control box is a transistorized unit which cannot be serviced in

the field. Special Woodward Test Unit No. 213600 can be used to
explore the control box and locate any malfunctioning.
NOTE
If an actuator is replaced because of shorted or open windings. the

control box must also be replaced, unless it is determined that the
box is undamaged.

c. Connect the Jones plug and secure with safety wire, if it does not have retaining clips.
14-130. TEST EQUIPMENT. Various test equipment can be purchased from the Woodward Governor
Company of Rockford, Illinois to help accomplish a complete check of the synchrophaser system. It is sug-
gested that test instrument, PIN 213600, be purchased from Woodward to allow complete testing of the
synchronizing portion of the system. A small test instrument, P 1N WT -46192, can be built in the field from the
diagram and parts list- in Figure 14-49. This instrument has pulse indicating lights a'rid jacks for checking
voltages and ohm values only as given in Table XIV-XVI, Synchrophaser Wiring Test. Test instrument,
P! N 213600, has pulse indicating lights, jacks for checking voltages and ohm values, and an oscillator system
with which magnetic pickup output may be simulated. This allows partially checking the control box without
running the engines.
NOTE
Use of any Woodward test equipment with the Woodward

synchrophaser system will require the use of a Jones plug adapter.
14-131. BENCH TESTING THE ACTUATOR. (Refer to Table XIV-XVII.) Use an ohmmeter on the pins
of the actuator disconnect. Zero the ohmmeter and read on the X I scale. Table XIV -XVI, Steps I to 6, gives
actuator test from the Jones plug through the harness to the actuator. See Propeller Synchrophaser Schematic
and convert receptacle numbers in Table XIV-XVI to actuator leads and perform Steps I to 6 of Table
XIV-XVI directly on actuator. Replace any actuator which does not meet the values given in Table XIV-XVI
after bench testing.
If either test unit is plugged into the system during flight or ground testing, the pulsing and direction of
pulsing of the actuator will be indicated by the flashing lights of the test unit. Refer to Table XIV-XVlll for
description of control box malfunction or system defects which can be detected by the lights on the test units.

14-133. PROPELLER SYNCHROPHASER. (Woodward Type II)
14-134. DESCRIPTION OF PROPELLER SYNCHROPHASER SYSTEM. (Refer to Figure 14-50.) The

Woodward Type II synchrophaser consists of a control box mounted in the cockpit, a coil incorporated in
each primary governor, a magnetic pickup and a disc located near three phase targets for each engine that
rotates with each propeller shaft.
The system operates on electronic impulses, generated by the disc target passing each magnetic pickup,
being fed into the control box. This control box detects any difference in the electrical pulses which will cause
the control box to change the governor speed setting by varying the coil voltage until the engine RPM's exactly
match. Normal governor operation is unchanged, but the synchrophaser will continuously monitor and bias
the governor speed setting to match engine RPM's.
The synchrophaser automatically matches the RPM's of the two engines and allows the pilot to select any
desired phase relationship between the propellers. The RPM of one engine will follow changes in the RPM of
the other engine within a predetermined limited range. This limited range feature prevents either engine from
losing more thn a fixed amount of RPM in case the other engine is feathered while the synchrophaser is "ON".
In no case will the RPM follow beyond that selected by the prop control lever.
The propeller synchrophaser "ON-OFF" switch and the phase adjuster control are combined on a single
knob protruding from the instrument panel just above the control levers. After takeoff manually synchronize
the propellers and then turn the synchrophaser "ON". When making propeller speed changes, such as from
climb to cruise, switch the synchrophaser "OFF" move the propeller levers to the desired setting and manually
synchronize, then turn the synchrophaser back "ON". Whenever an engine is to be feathered or during takeoff
or landing, the synchrophaser must be turned "OFF".
and then switch the synchrophaser "ON". Now slowly adjust either propeller governor control lever, in small
increments to increase and decrease the RPM. The RPM range over which the engines will remain
synchronized is the limited range. With the synchrophaser "OFF", establish a maximum of 15 rpm difference
between propeller RPM's. Turn the synchrophaser "ON" and synchronization will result. Once
synchronization is established the synchrophaser will have a range of approximately 35 rpm in cruise. Slowly
turn knob to the "PHASE SELECT" position and audibly observe phase shift.

14-142a. PROPELLER AUTOFEATHER SYSTEM.
14-142b. DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION. The propeller autofeather system pro-
vides automatic propeller feathering should engine failure be experienced at any time after the power levers
have been advanced for flight and the system arming fonditions have been met.
A two position AUTOFEATHER ARM switch is mounted on the lower left portion of the instrument
panel adjacent to the pedestal. This switch is used to arm the autofeather system and has two positions labeled
ARM and OFF. Additionally, an AUTOFEATHER TEST switch is located immediately to the right of the
AUTOFEATHER ARM switch. This switch is used to ground test the system prior to flight. It has two posi-
tions labeled L and R. Two lights are located in the annunciator panel. One is green and is labeled
ARM-AUTOFEATHER. The other is amber and labeled FAIL-AUTOFEATHER. Circuit protection is
provided by a push-to-reset type circuit breaker in the nonessential circuit breaker panel on the left sidewall.

6G14
The logic signals which arm the autofeather system are power lever position, torque, torque differential
and engine bleed air pressure. To arm the system, the AUTOFEATHER ARM switch must be in the ARM
position. both power levers must be above the 80% Ng position, both torquemeters must exceed 600ft.-lbs., the
torque differential between each engine must be less than 500 ft.-lbs., and both bleed air pressures must exceed
22 psi. Any time the system is armed the green ARM-AUTOFEATHER light will be illuminated. For an
engine to autofeather, the system must be armed, it must sense a torque difference between engines of at least
500 ft.-lbs., a drop of bleed air pressure below 17 psi and torque below 600 ft.-lbs. When an autofeather occurs
the ARM-AUTOFEATHER light will extinguish and the propeller will feather and decelerate to a stop or a
slow rotation (dependent upon airspeed) in approximately 10 seconds. Once an autofeather occurs the system
will not autofeather the other engine.
If any of the logic signals fail, the system will not arm. If the computer internally senses a logic signal
failure, the FAIL-A UTOFEATHER light will illuminate. In either case the system should be turned to OFF
pending troubleshooting and repair. The autofeather system must be preflight operational checked prior to
TAKEOFF. (Refer to Pilot's Operating Handbook.)
NOTE
Retarding either power lever prior to the affected engine's propeller

autofeathering, may inhibit the autofeather system.
14-142c. AUTOFEATHER GROUND OPERATIONAL CHECK. The ground operational check must be
performed with. both engines at idle RPM, propeller controls forward, bleed air on, generators on, with
regulated aircraft voltage and the autofeather circuit breaker pushed in.
a. Place the AUTOFEATHER OFF-ARM switch in the ARM position.
b. Depress the annunciator press-to-test switch located in the upper left instrument panel and observe
whether the ARM-AUTOFEATHER light and the FAIL-AUTOFEATHER light are illuminated.
c. Release the switch and observe whether the lights are extinguished.
d. Using the autofeather test switch located on the lower left instrument panel adjacent to the pedestal,
feather the left engine propeller.
e. Move the switch to the center "OFF" position and observe that the prop unfeathers.
f. Move the test switch to the right and observe that the right engine propeller feathers.
g. Return the switch to the center "OFF" position and observe that the prop unfeathers.
h. Advance the power lever to 80% Ng and observe that the ARM-AUTOFEATHER light is
illuminated.

14-143. ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE CONTROL.
14-144. FIRE DETECfiON SYSTEM.
14-145. GENERAL. A fue detection system is provided for each engine. In the event of an engine
compartment fire, thermal detector units installed in the nacelle actuate and complete an electrical circuit,
illuminating the master caution warning light, sounding a warning horn and illuminating the appropriate
engine fire warning light on the annunciator display.
14-146. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. Each engine fue detection system consists of three fire
detecting thermal units and their interconnecting harness. Two of these units are located on each side of the
front fue seal in the hot section, and one located at the bottom of the rear fue seal in the accessory section.
The thermal units actuate at a temperature of 450°F. Whenever the contacts in any one of the thermal
units is actuated (due to a fire condition) the circuit is completed, causing the master caution light to blink,
a horn to blow, and the engine fue warning light to show on the annunciator display. The horn and flashing
light may be deactivated by pressing on the master caution light.
The TEST switch, when pressed, connects the interconnecting harnesses of each engine system in
series and completes a circuit through the annunciator display to ground thus checking the continuity of
the system and the operation of the left and right engine fue warning lights on the annunciator.

14-147. FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM.
14-148. GENERAL. The frre extinguishing system consists of an independent system for each engine.
Each system has a switch located to the left of the pilot, which, when actuated, electrically dischantes the
frre extinguisher bottle for that system. The extinguishing agent is directed by a tube into the appropriate
engine compartment.
14-149. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. Each engine frre extinguishing system consists of a spherical
container (bottle) that stores the frre extinguishing agent (Halon 1301) charged to 360 +25 -0 psig at 70° F
with dry nitrogen. A pressure gauge mounted on the side of the bottle indicates the internal (charged)
pressure. Each bottle is mounted on the right side of each rear frre seal in the accessory section of the
engine nacelles. A main discharge pipe extends from a valve on the bottom of the bottle, forward, through
the rear and front frre seals to the "hot section" of the engine. An additional tube extends from the main
discharge pipe and passes aft through the rear fire seal and terminates at the top of the engine accessory
section.
An electrically operated cartridge (frring squib), screwed into the discharge valve at the base of the
bottle, provides the means of releasing the extinguishing agent. When the switch in the cockpit is actuated,
the firing squib in the discharge valve is detonated, which inturn punctures the seal in the discharge valve
11lowing the release of the extinguishing agent through the pipes. The container (bottle) also has a
-:ombination flll fitting and safety relief valve assembly. If ambient temperature should rise abnormally
t215°F to 226°F), a fusible check valve within the fill fitting melts, thus relieving the contents of the
container (bottle) and avoiding any possible bursting of the container.
14-150. TESTING EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM.

a. A quick check may be made of the system electrical circuit by turning the aircraft master switch
ON and press the annunciator display test switch. Verify that the left and right engine fire extinguisher
inoperative indicator lights are operating. A more thorough check is found in the following steps:
b. Assure all aircraft electrical power is off and that all circuit breakers are disengaged.
c. Disconne~t, the electrical wiring harness from the fire extinguisher squib tn one engine
::ompartment and connect a test lamp across the disconnected wires of the harness.
d. Reset circuit breakers; tum master switch ON.
e. Engage the appropriate engine frre extinguisher switch in the cockpit and verify that the test
lamp illuminates.
f. Reset frre extinguisher switch; tum master switch OFF; disengage circuit breakers and disconnect
the test lamp.
g. Connect a squib tester (Model 115 squib test, American Standard, Monrovia, California) to the
~quib terminals and check for a nominal resistance of 1.15 ± 0.25 ohms. Disconnect the squib tester.
WARNING
Do not use a volt-ohmmeter, battery powered continuity light, or

any similar device in an attempt to test the squib assembly. Use of
test devices which pass more than 30 MA may detonate the squib.
h. Assure aircraft electrical system is deactivated; then reconnect system wiring to squib assembly
terminals, insuring ground wire is connected to ground terminal.
i. Repeat Steps "a" through "i" for opposite engine.
j. A pressure check of the frre extinguisher containers should be made periodically to determine
chat the pressure is between the minimum and maximum limits prescribed by the manufacturer. Refer to
the Pressure-Temperature Correction Table on the container (bottle) or refer to Chart XIV-XXIII

2. Window Repair I Rework Procedure (Side Acrylic Windows Only). The following methods should be
used for repairs:
a. AREAS WITH SMALL SCRATCHES:
{ 1) Clean the window, using generous amounts of water and a mild detergent.
(2) Polish the window with an approved compound and soft cloth.
(3) Clean and wax the polished area.
b. AREAS WITH LARGE SCRATCHES, GOUGES AND NICKS: Areas with damages exceeding .003
of an inch depth or those with less than .003 of an inch in depth, having sharp edges which cause
hanging of fingernail should be locally rounded out or buffed.
(1) Clean the window using generous amounts of water and a mild detergent.
(2) Use a scratch removal kit, such as the type supplied by Micro-Surface Finishing Products Inc.,
P.O. Box 456, Wilton, Iowa, to remove the defective area, blend and buff.
(3) Using 400A wet or dry abrasive paper wrapped around a smooth rubber block and generous
amounts of water, lightly sand over and around the defected area in a circular motion, extending
in a diameter equal to two or three times the defected area.
(4) Continue sanding until the initial defect is no longer apparent. Thoroughly flush the area with
water.
(5) Using 600A wet or dry abrasive paper, repeat step (3). Continue sanding only until the hairline
scratches caused by the coarse sanding are no longer apparent. Sand a larger area than that
covered by the original sanding operation. Thoroughly wash the area.
(6) Finish the repair using instructions given in Method a.
CAUTION
Any acrylic window which may have been damaged by paint
thinner, paint remover or other softening agent must be
replaced. NO repair is permitted for this type of damage.
