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 every effort to sepa- rate dissimilar metals with primers and coatings during manufacture, but there are some loca- tions (such as rivets in wing skins) where this is impossible. - Page 8 MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL MT-7-235 INTERIOR (Cont’d) Textile upholstery may be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. Grease and oil spots on the upholstery should be treated with a spot remover or dry cleaning fluid. Do not use soap and wa- ter on textile materials.

MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL MT-7-235 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 MECH INSP 1. Perform appropriate inspection as called for in the Textron Lycoming Operator's Manual, p/n 60297-9, Initial Revision or later. - Page 10 MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL MT-7-235 7. Check nosewheel landing gear oleo strut for indication of oil leaks. See Section III for service instructions. MECH INSP 8. Check general condition of nosewheel, steering linkage, scissors and shimmy damper. Check main landing gear for condition and brakes for leakage and wear.
- Page 11 CAUTION: Item (a)(4) of AD#98-15-18 is very misleading as Maule never drills holes in struts to at- tach 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 NOTE: Check top side of rear elevator horn and cable and bottom side of forward elevator horn and cable if yellow color-coding paint is visible. If missing, paint per Maule Service Bulletin No. 30. 13. CAUTION: At inspection hole in tail, visually check the pivoting action at the control cable attachment points over the full range of rudder and elevator travel.
- Page 13 16. Lubricate door hinges and latches and seat tracks. CAUTION: Carefully inspect all door hinge bolts and nuts for condition and security. If using elastic nuts on door hinges, they must be replaced with castle nuts and cotter pins. Refer to Maule Service Letter No. 61.

MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL MT-7-235 FUEL SYSTEM Two (2), 23.8 gallon (or 21.5-gallon) main fuel tanks, mounted in the inboard end of the wings, have front and rear outlets. The fuel lines running from these tanks terminate at the fuel selector valve on the left side kick panel. - Page 31 MAULE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. MAINTENANCE MANUAL MT-7-235 This 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.
