Page 817 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL Figure 3-14. Engine Mount (20) AFT WING ATTACH FITTINGS 100 HOUR INSPECTION (a) Background Should the seals for the windows and doors not be maintained, leaks may develop which, if not corrected, will allow an ingress of water. This water contamination will wet the insulation around the aft wing attach fittings creating a highly corrosive environment.
Page 818 If corrosion is superficial and there is no metal flaking and/or pitting, clean and paint fittings, using a good quality aircraft primer. If serious corrosion is found, consult the Piper Illustrated Parts Catalog (P/N 753-689) for replacement part numbers and obtain and install new parts before next flight.
Page 819 [5] If sealing windows, use P/N 279-058 Sealant (Bostik 1100 FS) or equivalent. [6] If using insulation other than Piper original material, be sure that the insulation is flame resistant and conforms to FAR part 23.853. 07/15/06...
Page 820 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL If the insulation material has not been wet, or if new material is being installed, ensure a six (6) inch clearance in the insulation has been cut out in all directions around each attach fitting.

Page 829 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL (26) 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.
Page 830 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL (b) 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 3-23.
Page 831 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL (d) 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.
Page 832 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL (f) Cable Fittings 100 Hour Standard Inspection Check swaged terminal reference marks for any indication of cable slippage within fitting. Inspect fitting assembly for distortion and/or broken strands at the terminal. Check that all bearings and swivel fittings (bolted or pinned) pivot freely to prevent binding and subsequent failure.
