SERVICING
1. GENERAL
The information in this chapter pertains to general servicing procedures and maintenance practices used
when servicing the airplane. This chapter contains illustrations, descriptions and servicing procedures nec-
essary to locate system or component service points and to replenish operating fluids or service the air-
plane as required. (See Figure 12-001)
The replenishment charts provide tank and reservoir capacities. Where applicable, capacities are listed in
U.S. Gallons, Imperial Gallons, and Liters. For additional detailed information concerning unit servicing of
the various airplane systems and components, refer to the applicable chapters. For electrical wiring dia-
grams, refer to the Wiring Diagram Manual.
The specified intervals in Chapter 5, are considered adequate to meet average requirements under normal
operating conditions. It is advisable, however, to shorten service and maintenance intervals when operat-
ing under abnormal environmental conditions, such as high humidity and moisture, salt water environ-
ments, dusty atmospheric conditions, extreme temperature ranges, unimproved airport facilities, or other
unusual operating requirements. In salt water areas special care should be taken to keep the engine,
accessories and airframe clean to help prevent oxidation.
CAUTION: The operation of the airplane can be seriously impaired if unapproved or contaminated fuel,
oil, fluids, lubricants or materials are used. Adherence to instructions, cautions, and warn-
ings can avoid injury to personnel and damage to the airplane or associated equipment. Mix-
ing of various brands, types and weights of materials should be avoided. Specified
lubricants will meet requirements for extreme hot or cold temperature operations. Use of
substitutes or other lubricants may cause a malfunction when operating in extreme tempera-
ture conditions, or may cause excessive wear due to improper lubrication. As called out in
the illustration, stepping or walking on most of the airplane outer surfaces is prohibited.
