1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 23, 2025
To repair the battery box on a Piper Seneca II, follow these steps:
1. Clean the Battery and Box – Remove corrosion by applying a baking soda and water solution mixed to a thin cream consistency. Continue applying until bubbling stops. 2. Rinse and Dry – Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. 3. Paint if Necessary – Apply acid-resistant paint to the battery box if needed and allow it to dry completely. 4. Place Drain Cap – Ensure the cap is placed over the battery box drain. 5. Reinstall the Battery – Once the box is prepared, reinstall the battery properly.
Caution: Avoid letting the soda solution enter the battery.

PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL 2-8. TORQUE REQUIREMENTS. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTORQUE FITTINGS. Table II-III lists the torque values for flared fittings of various sizes and material. NOTE: When installing flared fittings, verify that male threads are properly lubricated. The torque values given in Table II-IV are derived from oil-free cadmium-plated threads and are recommended for all airframe installation procedures where torquing is required, unless other values are specified in subject chapter/section.
Page 51
PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL The friction drag torque can be determined as follows: Run the nut down to near contact (but not in contact) with the bearing surface and check the "friction drag torque" required to turn the nut.

PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL 2-39. TIRES. 2-40. SERVICING TIRES. The tires should be maintained at the pressure specified in Table II-I. When checking tire pressure, examine the tires for wear, cuts, bruises and slippage. The tire, tube, and wheel should be balanced when installed.
Page 74
PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL Figure 2-8a. Tire Balancer When balance is attained, put a chalk mark on the sidewall directly below the patch. Use one mark for each half ounce of weight needed. Mark the valve stem location on the tire and the opposite wheel half to assure reassembly in the same position.

PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL B. Procedures 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-readily visible types of wear, corrosion, and/or distortion.
Page 152
PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL (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 3-2.
Page 153
PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL (d) Corrosion Carefully examine any cable for corrosion that has a broken wire in a section not in contact with wear producing airframe components such as pulleys, fairleads, etc. It may be necessary to remove and bend the cable to properly inspect it for internal strand corrosion as this condition is usually not evident on the outer surface of the cable.

PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL (f) Cable Fittings 100 Hour Standard Inspection Check swaged terminal reference marks for any indication of cable slippage within fitting. Inspect fitting assembly for distortion and/or broken strands at the terminal. Check that all bearings and swivel fittings (bolted or pinned) pivot freely to prevent binding and subsequent failure.

PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL SECTION VI HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CAUTION: PRIOR TO STARTING ANY INVESTIGATION OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, PLACE THE AIRPLANE ON JACKS. (REFER TO JACKING, SECTION II.) 6-1. INTRODUCTION. The PA-34-200T hydraulic system components covered in this section consist of the combination hydraulic pump and reservoir, hydraulic pressure switch, free-fall valve assembly, actuating cylinders and hydraulic lines.
PIPER SENECA II SERVICE MANUAL Service Replacement (Oildyne). The Oildyne hydraulic pump is a gear type unit driven by a 12 volt reversible motor designed to operate in a pressure range of 2,400 ± 200 psi. To prevent excessive buildup of pressure in the hydraulic system due to expansion, a primary thermal relief valve is incorporated in the pump body which will open at 3,000 +300/-200 psi.
Page 329
NOTE: Field service of the Oildyne hydraulic pump is limited to motor replacement and removal, cleaning, inspection, and/or replacement of the hydraulic fluid reservoir. Should pump malfunction, replace pump, or return pump to Piper Aircraft via your local Piper distributor for servicing or repairs.
