A. SCHEDULED SERVICING
(1) Airframe Lubrication
Proper lubrication procedures are valuable for prolonging the service life of the airplane and as a
means of reducing the frequency of extensive and expensive repairs. The periodic application of rec-
ommended lubricants to their relevant bearing surfaces, combined with cleanliness, as detailed in the
following paragraphs, ensures maximum efficiency and utmost service of all moving parts.
Lubrication instruction regarding the locations, time intervals, and type of lubricants used are found in
proper lubrication charts. To ensure the best possible results from the application of lubricants, observe
the following precautions :
— NOTE —
If the airplane is inactive for long periods of time. it should be
lubricated in accordance with Lubrication Chart every 90
days.
(a) Use only recommended lubricants. Where general purpose lubricating oil is specified, but
unavailable, clean reciprocating engine oil may be used as a satisfactory substitute.
(b) Check components for evidence of excessive wear and replace as necessary.
(c) Remove all excess lubricants from components to prevent collecting dirt and sand in quantities
capable of causing excessive wear or damage to bearing surfaces.
(2) Applicaation of Grease
When lubricating bearings and bearings surfaces with a grease gun, ensure gun is filled with new,
clean grease of the grade specified for the particular application before applying lubricant to
grease fittings.
(1) If a reservoir is not provided around a bearing, apply lubricant sparingly and wipe off excess.
(2) Remove wheel bearings from the wheel hub and clean thoroughly with a suitable solvent.
When packing with grease, be sure the lubricant enters the space between the rollers in the
retainer ring. Do not pack the grease into the wheel hub.
(3) Use extra care when greasing propeller hub to avoid blowing clamp gaskets. Remove one
grease fitting and apply grease to the other fitting until fresh grease appears at the hole of the
removed fitting. Uneven greasing effects propeller balance.
(3) Applicaation of Oil
If specific librication instructions fro s certain components ar not available, observe the following
prcautions:
— CAUTION —
After thoroughly washing airplane, ensure landing gear, flight
surface wings, flap tracks, elevator trim screw, and engine
compartment are still properly lubricated
(a) Apply oil sparingly. Never apply more than enough to coat the bearing surfaces.
(b) Since the control cables are sufficiently coated by the manufacturer, additional protection for
the prevention of corrosion is unnecessary.
