"electrolyte corrosion". Salt water and chemicals act as an electrolyte between dissimilar metals and can start a strong corrosive action over a short period of time. Maule makes eve- ry effort to separate dissimilar metals with primers and coatings during manufacture, but there are some locations (such as rivets in wing skins) where this is impossible. - Page 8 MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL M-8-235 Cont’d Care should be taken in the disposal of candy wrappers, paper scraps, cigarette butts, etc. These can work their way under the floorboards and become a fire hazard, mois- ture trap and could jam the control cables.

MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL M-8-235 INSPECTION GUIDES At 25 Hour Total Time, perform 50 Hour Inspection as described below: At 50 Hour Total Time and every 50 hours thereafter: A. POWER PLANT 1. Perform appropriate inspection as called for in the engine manufacturer's Operator's Manual. - Page 10 CAUTION: For carbureted engine only: If rubber seal on air valve is in poor condition, replace seal with black nitrile rubber with cotton insert and/or if valve plate is loose, re- pair per SB#16. (Check compliance to Maule SB#16.) AIRCRAFT 1.
- Page 11 1/2” dia. is required for later models. CAUTION: Item (a)(4) of AD# 98-15-18 is very misleading as Maule never drills holes in struts to attach cuffs, door clips or any hardware and it is illegal to do so since there are no approved holes in the wing struts under the TC data.
- Page 12 Long Island City, NY Tucker, GA NOTE: Maule Service Bulletin No. 9 covers corrosion resistant parts replacement and is particularly recommended for airplanes operating in a potentially corrosive environment. Compliance to this SB provides for larger stainless steel turnbuckles and corrosion re- sistant steel fasteners and attachment details for the elevator cables.

MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL M-8-235 If installed, two (2) auxiliary wing tip fuel tanks, fifteen (15) gallon (or twenty-one (21) gal- lon) capacity, are mounted in the second from the outboard wing bay. They are fuel transfer tanks and simply supply fuel to the main tank through a small vibrator pump. - Page 28 MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL M-8-235 The battery is considered fully charged at a hydrometer specific gravity reading of 1.265. A low charge would be 1.225 or lower. Operating with a low charge will shorten the life of the battery and can be prevented by recharging or operating with the electrical equipment turned off until the battery has been sufficiently recharged.
