8.1 GENERAL
This section provides general guidelines relating to the handling, servicing and maintenance of the
Archer II.
Every owner should stay in close contact with his Piper dealer or distributor and Authorized Piper
Service Center to obtain the latest information pertaining to his aircraft and to avail himself of the Piper
Aircraft Service Back-up.
Piper Aircraft Corporation takes a continuing interest in having the owner get the most efficient use
from his aircraft and keeping it in the best mechanical condition. Consequently, Piper Aircraft from time to
~
time issues Service Bulletins, Service Letters and Service Spares Letters relating to the aircraft.
Service Bulletins are of special importance and should be complied with promptly. These are sent to
the latest registered owners, distributors and dealers. Depending on the nature of the bulletin, material and
labor allowances may apply, and will be addressed in the body of the Bulletin.
Service Letters deal with product improvements and service hints pertaining to the aircraft. They are
sent to dealers, distributors and occasionally (at the factory's discretion) to latest registered owners, so they
can properly service the aircraft and keep it up to date with the latest changes. Owners should give careful
attention to the Service Letter information.
Service Spares Letters offer improved parts, kits and optional equipment which were not available
originally and which may be of interest to the owner.
If an owner is not having his aircraft serviced by an Authorized Piper Service Center, he should
periodically check with a Piper dealer or distributor to find out the latest information to keep his aircraft
up to date.
Piper Aircraft Corporation has a Subscription Service for the Service Bulletins, Service Letters and
1-\ Service Spares Letters. This service is offered to interested persons such as owners, pilots and mechanics at a
nominal fee, and may be obtained through Piper dealers and distributors.
A service manual, parts catalog, and revisions to both, are available from your Piper dealer or
distributor. Any correspondence regarding the airplane should include the airplane model and serial number
to insure proper response. ,
