CESSNA SECTION 8
MODEL 182T HANDLING, SERVICE & 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 aircraft 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.
