WARNING: USE ONLY GENUINE PIPER AIRCRAFT PARTS OR PIPER AIRCRAFT APPROVED
PARTS OBTAINED FROM PIPER APPROVED SOURCES, IN CONNECTION WITH THE
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF PIPER AIRPLANES.
Genuine PIPER parts are produced and inspected under rigorous procedures to insure airworthiness
and suitability for use in PIPER airplane applications. Parts purchased from sources other than PIPER,
even though identical in appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed,
may be different in fabrication techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an
airplane.
Additionally, reworked or salvaged parts or those parts obtained from non-PIPER approved sources,
may have service histories which are unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected to
unacceptable stresses or temperatures or may have other hidden damage not discernible through
routine visual or nondestructive testing. This may render the part, component or structural assembly,
even though originally manufactured by PIPER, unsuitable and unsafe for airplane use.
PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. expressly disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions, failures, damage or
injury caused by use of non-PIPER approved parts.
NOTE: PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. expressly reserves the right to supersede, cancel and/or declare
obsolete any part, part numbers, kits or publication that may be referenced in this manual
without prior notice.
Any question concerning the care of your airplane, be sure to include the airplane serial number in any
correspondence.
