PA-46-350P, MALIBU
8.13 BRAKE SERVICE (CONTINUED)
located behind the aft access panel in the forward baggage compartment. If
the entire system must be refilled, fill with fluid under pressure from the
brake end of the system. This will eliminate air from the system.
No adjustment of the brake clearances is necessary. If, after extended
service, brake blocks become excessively worn they should be replaced with
new segments.
8.15 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SERVICE
The hydraulic system reservoir is an integral part of the electric
hydraulic pump assembly. It is located aft of the aft cabin baggage
compartment and is accessible through the baggage compartment aft
closeout panel. Fill the reservoir with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid. The fluid
level should be checked periodically or every 100 hour inspection and
replenished when necessary. With the landing gear down and the system up
to pressure, fill to the FULL line on the sight gauge.
8.17 LANDING GEAR SERVICE
The main landing gear uses Cleveland Aircraft Products 6.00 x 6 wheels
with 6.00 x 6, eight-ply rating tires and tubes. The nose wheel uses a
McCauley or a Cleveland Aircraft Products 5.00 x 5 wheel with a 5.00 x 5 six-
ply rating, type III tire and tube. (Refer to paragraph 8.25.)
Wheels are removed by taking off the hub cap, cotter pin, axle nut, and
the two bolts holding the brake segment in place. Mark tire and wheel for
reinstallation; then dismount by deflating the tire, removing the three
through-bolts from the wheel and separating the wheel halves.
Landing gear oleos should be serviced according to the instructions on
the units. The main oleos should be extended under normal static load until
3.44 +/- 0.25 inches of oleo piston tube is exposed, and the nose gear should
show 1.65 +/- 0.25 inches. To add air to the oleo struts, attach a strut pump to
the valve assembly near the top of the oleo strut housing and pump the oleo
to the desired position. To add oil, jack the aircraft, release the air pressure in
the strut, remove the valve core and add oil through this opening with the
strut extended. After the strut is full, compress it slowly and fully to allow
excess air and oil to escape. With the strut still compressed reinsert the valve
core and pump up the strut as above.
