  • Page 57 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL 2-52. FILLING NOSE GEAR OLEO STRUT (PA-32-260 and 300). To fill the nose gear oleo strut with hydraulic fluid (MIL-PRF-5606), whether it be only the addition of a small amount or if the unit has been completely emptied and will require a large amount, it should be filled as follows: Raise the airplane on jacks until the nose wheel is completely clear of the ground.
  • Page 58 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL 2-53. FILLING MAIN GEAR OLEO STRUT (PA-32-260 and 300). To fill with fluid. a main gear oleo strut that is partly full or that has been completely emptied proceed as follows: Raise the airplane on jacks until the landing gear torque link assembly has almost reached its full travel.
  • Page 59 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL With the strut fully compressed, remove the filler plug to determine that the fluid level is visible up to the bottom of the filler plug hole. Reinstall the core in the filler plug and apply thread lubricant (See Thread Lubricant, Oleo Strut, Air Valve - Kopr-Kote.) to the threads of the filler plug and install the plug in the top of...
  • Page 60 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL Fully compress and extend the strut thus drawing fluid from the fluid container and expelling air from the strut chamber. By watching the fluid pass through the plastic hose, it can be determined when the strut is full and no air is present in the chamber.
  • Page 61 PIPER CHEROKEE SIX / LANCE SERVICE MANUAL 2-58. FILLING BRAKE CYLINDER RESERVOIR. The brake cylinder reservoir should be filled to the level marked on reservoir, with the fluid specified in Table II-I.
