PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2-8. TORQUE REQUIREMENTS. Proper torque application cannot be overemphasized. Undertorqued assemblies can result in premature failure due to fatigue from uneven loads, as well as causing unnecessary wear of nuts, bolts, and other parts. Overtorqued assemblies can be equally harmful by causing failure of a bolt or nut by overstressing the threaded areas.
Page 28
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL TABLE II-II. RECOMMENDED NUT TORQUES TORQUES: The importance of correct application cannot be overemphasized. Undertorque can result in unnecessary wear of nuts and bolts as well as the parts they are holding together. When insufficient pressures are applied, uneven loads will be transmitted throughout the assembly which may result in excessive wear or premature failure due to fatigue.

PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2-74. CORROSION CONTROL. Corrosion is the deterioration of metal by chemical or electrochemical attack. Water which is allowed to remain on the aircraft and industrial pollution are the major causes of corrosion in aircraft.
Page 60
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2-77. INSPECTION. Corrosion should be suspected at every inspection. In trouble areas, the inspection frequency should be increased. In addition to routine inspections: a. Aircraft operating around a marine environment should be given special checks on a weekly basis.
Page 61
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL There are several methods for removing corrosion; chemical treatment; hand sanding with abrasive paper or metal wool; and, mechanical sanding or buffing with abrasive materials or grinding wheels. The method selected depends on the type and extent of the corrosion.
Page 62
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2-79. AREAS PRONE TO CORROSION. Certain areas are more prone to corrosion than others. The following list is intended to be a general guide to areas where corrosion is frequently found: a. Areas around steel fasteners are susceptible to corrosion. The paint on these areas cracks which allows moisture to seep in and corrode the under-lying metal.
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2-80. REPAINTING. If it becomes necessary or desirable to repaint the aircraft, the following procedures will apply: a. Mask all glass and areas not to be painted. — NOTE — Solvent resistant masking tapes are authorized for use.

PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2-87. REPAIRS. Removal of spots, sags, curtains, overspray and other blemishes which appear in the finished paint film can be removed by the most suitable of the following methods: a. Remove the blemish using 400 to 600 grit "wet or dry" abrasive paper. Clean and dry thoroughly. If necessary, spray with the paint manufacturer's recommended thinner or thinned finish to blend.
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2-89. STANDARD PRACTICE - AIRFRAME 2-90. TORQUE WRENCH. Torque wrenches should be checked daily and calibrated by means of weights and a measured lever arm to make sure that inaccuracies are not present. Checking one torque wrench against another is not sufficient and is not recommended.

Should the stabilator travel be incorrect in either the up or down position, remove the tail cone fairing by removing the attaching screws and with the use of the rigging tool and bubble protractor turn the stops located at each stabilator hinge in or out (refer to Figure 5-12) to obtain the correct degree of travel.
PIPER AIRCRAFT PA-28-161 CADET AIRPLANE MAINTENANCE MANUAL 8. Check the full travel of the control wheel with relation to the full travel of the stabilator to determine that the stabilator contacts its stops before the control wheel contacts its stops. With the control wheel in the fore and aft positions, the travel distance from the point where the stabilator contacts its stops and the control wheel contacts its stops should approximately equal.
