K. NOTES
1. Refer to Piper's Customer Service Information File P/N 1753-755 for latest revision dates to Piper Inspection Reports/Manuals and the Seneca II
Service Manual, P/N 761-590. References to section, paragraph, figure, or table are to the appropriate section, paragraph, figure, or table in the
service manual.
WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS (ICA) FOR ALL NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT
INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL. WHEN A NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATION IS INCORPORATED ON THE AIRPLANE,
THOSE PORTIONS OF THE AIRPLANE AFFECTED BY THE INSTALLATION MUST BE INSPECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
ICA PUBLISHED BY THE OWNER OF THE STC. SINCE NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS
INTERFACE, OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENT LOADS OR STRESSES ON ADJACENT STRUCTURES, THE
PIPER PROVIDED ICA MAY NOT BE VALID FOR AIRPLANES SO MODIFIED.
2. Inspections or operations are to be performed as indicated by a “O” at the 50 or 100 hour inspection interval. Inspections or operations (i.e. -
component overhauls/replacements, etc.) required outside the 50/100 hour cycle are listed as special inspections in paragraph 8. Inspections must be
accomplished by persons authorized by the FAA.
a. The 50 hour inspection accomplishes preventive maintenance, lubrication and servicing as well as inspecting critical components.
b. The 100 hour inspection is a complete inspection of the airplane, identical to an annual inspection.
NOTE: A log book entry should be made upon completion of any inspections.
3. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. In all cases, see Service Bulletin/Service Letter Index
P/N 762-332 to verify latest revision. See also Table III-II.
4. Piper Service Letters are product improvements and service hints pertaining to servicing the airplane and should be given careful attention.
5. Inspections given for the power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual (X30583) for this airplane. Any changes issued to the
engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual shall supersede or supplement the inspections outlined in this report.
6. Verify compliance with Piper Service Bulletin No. 1113.
7. Refer to the latest revision of Continental Motors Service Bulletin M73-19.
8. Not used.
9. For operation at higher altitudes (12,000 feet and up), more frequent ignition system maintenance is required. (Refer to the latest revision of
Continental Service Bulletin M78-8.)
10. For airplanes which have not complied with Part II of Piper Service Bulletin No. 956 or completed the hardware replacement in paragraph 7-24b, each
100 hours time-in-service, inspect the Main Landing Gear Trunnion Attach Fittings Hardware per paragraph 7-24a.
CAUTION: IF TIME-IN-SERVICE FOR MAIN GEAR TRUNNION ASSEMBLIES OTHER THAN P/N’S 67926-030 OR 67926-032 (LEFT) AND
67926-031 OR 67926-033 (RIGHT) (EACH EMBOSSED WITH FORGING NUMBER 02599-2) CANNOT BE DETERMINED, THEN
THOSE MAIN GEAR TRUNNION ASSEMBLIES MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT.
11. For airplanes which have not installed new main landing gear trunnion assemblies P/N’s 67926-030 or 67926-032 (Left) and 67926-031 or 67926-033
(Right) (each embossed with forging number 02599-2) per Piper Service Bulletin No. 787C; and, have accumulated 500 hours time-in-service on one
or both of the installed main landing gear trunnion assemblies: perform Main Gear Trunnion Assembly Dye-Penetrant Inspection, Section VII, on one
or both trunnion assemblies, as required.
12. Replace engine-driven fuel pump at engine overhaul.
13. Early Seneca II’s had inline filters in the cabin; later airplanes have a filter located in each nacelle.
14. Refer to Section V, paragraph 5-34 for allowable rudder tab and trim free play.
15. Maintain cable tensions specified in Section V.
16. Replacement brushes are no longer available. When brushes wear out, replace the Prestolite pump with a new Oildyne pump.
17. See also AD 78-21-03.
18. For airplanes equipped with TCM/Bendix Magnetos: inspect magneto(s) per the procedures in the Periodic Maintenance section of the applicable
