CESSNA SECTION 8
MODEL 182T HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
NOTE
During the first 25 hour oil and filter change, a general
inspection of the overall engine compartment is required.
Items which are not normally checked during a preflight
inspection should be given special attention. Hoses, metal
lines and fittings should be inspected for signs of oil and
fuel leaks, and checked for abrasions, chafing, security,
proper routing and support, and evidence of deterioration.
Inspect the intake and exhaust systems for cracks, evidence
of leakage, and security of attachment. Engine controls and
linkages should be checked for freedom of movement
through their full range, security of attachment and evidence
of wear. Inspect wiring for security, chafing, burning,
defective insulation, loose or broken terminals, heat
deterioration, and corroded terminals. Check the alternator
belt in accordance with Maintenance Manual instructions,
and retighten if necessary. A periodic check of these items
during subsequent servicing operations is recommended.
