PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL COOLING (cont.) D. Servicing of Air Conditioner The detection of system malfunction depends on the mechanic’s ability to interpret gauge pressure readings into system problems. A system operating normally will have a low side gauge pressure reading corresponding with the temperature of refrigerant evaporating in the evaporator, allowing for a few degrees temperature rise due to loss in the tube walls and fins.

PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL D.C. GENERATION (cont.) (2) Precautions The following precautions are to be observed when testing or servicing the electrical system. (a) Disconnect battery before connecting or disconnecting test instruments, except voltmeter, or before removing or replacing any unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at regulator, alternator, ammeter or accessories, will cause severe damage to units and/or wiring.

PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL D.C. GENERATION (cont.) (5) Service Procedures Since the alternator and regulator are designed for use on only one polarity system, the following pre- cautions must be observed when testing or servicing the electrical system. Failure to observe these precautions will result in serious damage to the electrical equipment.

PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL FLIGHT CONTROLS A. General Information (1) Description and Operation. The airplane is controlled in flight by the use of three primary control surfaces: ailerons, stabilator and rudder. The controls are operated by movement of the control column-tee bar assembly and rudder pedals.

PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL FLIGHT CONTROLS (cont.) A. General Information (cont.) (3) Control Cable Inspection Aircraft control cable systems are subject to a variety of environmental conditions and forms of deterioration that, with time, may be easy to recognize as wire/strand breakage or the not-so-read- ily visible types of wear, corrosion, and/or distortion.
Page 275
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL FLIGHT CONTROLS (cont.) (3) Control Cable Inspection (cont.) (b) External Wear Patterns Wear will normally extend along cable equal to the distance cable moves at that location. Wear may occur on one side of the cable only or on its entire circumference. Replace flexible and non-flexible cables when individual wires in each strand appear to blend together (outer wires worn 40-50 percent) as depicted in figure 3.

PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-32R-301/301T MAINTENANCE MANUAL GENERAL. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The Bendix D6LN-2031, D6LN-3000 and D6LN-3031 magnetos feature two electrically independent igni- tion circuits in one housing. A single four pole rotor provides the magnetic energy for both circuits. This magneto uses an impulse coupling to provide reliable ignition to engine cranking speed. A single cam operates the main breakers for both magneto circuits.

After the first 50 hour period and every 100 hours thereafter, the magneto ignition system should be checked. If engine operating troubles develop which appear to be caused by the ignition system, it is advis- able to check the spark plugs and wiring first before working on the magneto.
