CESSNA
SECTION 8
MODEL 172S NAV III
HANDLING, SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
This section contains factory recommended procedures for proper
ground handling and routine care and servicing of your airplane. It
also identifies certain inspection and maintenance requirements
which must be followed if your airplane is to retain that new airplane
performance and dependability. It is important to follow a planned
schedule of lubrication and preventive maintenance based on
climatic and flying conditions encountered in your local area.
Keep in touch with your local Cessna Service Station and take
advantage of their knowledge and experience. Your Cessna Service
Station knows your airplane and how to maintain it, and will remind
you when lubrications and oil changes are necessary, as well as
other seasonal and periodic services.
The airplane should be regularly inspected and maintained in
accordance with information found in the airplane maintenance
manual and in company issued Service Bulletins and Service
Newsletters. All Service Bulletins pertaining to the airplane by serial
number should be accomplished and the airplane should receive
repetitive and required inspections. Cessna does not condone
modifications, whether by Supplemental Type Certificate or
otherwise, unless these certificates are held and/or approved by
Cessna. Other modifications may void warranties on the airplane
since Cessna has no way of knowing the full effect on the overall
airplane. Operation of an airplane that has been modified may be a
risk to the occupants, and operating procedures and performance
data set forth in the operating handbook may no longer be
considered accurate for the modified airplane.
