PIPER CHEROKEE WARRIOR SERVICE MANUAL
2 - 1 . INTRODUCTION: This section contains routine handling and servicing procedures that are most
f r equently encountered. Frequent reference to this section will aid the individual by providing information
such as the location of various components, ground handling procedures, routine service procedures and
l u b r ication. When any system or component requires service other than the routine procedures as outlined in
this section, refer to the appropriate section for that component.
2-2. DIMENSIONS: The principal airplane dimensions are shown in Figure 2-1 and are listed in Table II-I.
2 - 3 . S TATION REFERENCE LINES: In order to facilitate the location of various components of the airplane
which require maintenance and servicing, a method utilizing fuselage station (Sta.), wing station or buttock
line (LB), and waterline (WL) designations is frequently employed in this manual. (Refer to Figure 2-2.)
Fuselage stations, buttock lines, and waterlines are reference points measured by inches in the vertical or
h o r izontal direction from a given reference line which indicates station locations of structural members of the
airplane. Station 0 of the fuselage is 44.5 inches ahead of the lower edge of the fire wall; station 0 (BL) of the
wing and stabilator is the centerline of the airplane; and station 0 (WL) of the fuselage vertical stabilizer and
rudder is 20.5 inches below the cabin floor as measured at the rear wing spar with the airplane level. The
r e f e rence datum line is located 78.4 inches ahead of the wing leading edge at the intersection of the straight
and tapered section.
2-4. WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA: When figuring various weight and balance computations, the
empty, static and gross weight, and center of gravity of the airplane may be found in the Weight and Balance
Form of the Airplane Flight Manual.
2-5. SERIAL NUMBER PLATE: The serial number plate is located on the left side of the fuselage near the
leading edge of the stabilator. The serial number should always be used when referring to the airplane on ser-
vice or warranty matters.
2-6. ACCESS AND INSPECTION PROVISIONS: The access and inspection provisions for the airplane
are shown in Figure 2-3. The component to be serviced or inspected through each opening is identified in the
i l l u stration. All access plates and panels are secured by either metal fasteners or screws. To enter the aft sec-
tion of the fuselage, open the baggage compartment door and remove the upholstery panel.
Before entering the aft section of the fuselage, be sure the
a i rplane is supported at the tail skid.
2-7. TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT: Because of the simplicity and easy accessibility of components,
few special tools outside normal shop tools will be required. Tools that are required may be fabricated from
dimensions given in the section that pertains to a particular component.
