8.8 Removal Of Cowling & Wheel Pants
ENGINE COWL REMOVAL AND
REINSTALLATION
To access the engine compartment, the upper and
lower engine cowlings are removable.
The Upper Cowl is held in place with Camlock
fasteners. The Lower Cowl is held to the forward
fuselage with a series of machine screws and washers
along the trailing edge.
TO REMOVE UPPER COWL:
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, press down on each
Camlock fastener and twist counterclockwise ¼
turn. The heads will pop up when loosened.
2. Lift the cowl off the top of the nose. It is
lightweight; make sure to place it in an area where
it cannot be damaged by wind or prop blast.
TO REINSTALL UPPER COWL:
1. The lower cowl must be installed. Gently place
upper cowl on top of the lower cowl. Take care not
to let the forward edge touch the spinner; it will
scratch the polished metal.
