IO-240 Series Engine Installation & Operation Manual
31 October 2011
PREFACE
Continental Motors provides Instructions for Continued Airworthiness based on the design,
testing, and certification of engines and parts for which Continental Motors is the holder of the
Type Certificate (TC) or Parts Manufacture Approval (PMA) issued by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). Instructions in Continental Motors engine manuals, which include
maintenance, repair limits, overhaul, and installation, are applicable only to engines and parts
supplied by Continental Motors.
Except for FAR part 43.3 authorized owner preventive maintenance, Continental Motors ICAs are
written for exclusive use by FAA (or equivalent authority) licensed mechanics or FAA (or
equivalent authority) certified repair station employees working under the supervision of an FAA
licensed mechanic. Information and instructions contained in this manual anticipate the user
possesses and applies the knowledge, training, and experience commensurate with the
requirements to meet the prerequisite FAA license and certification requirements. No other use is
authorized.
Installation of aftermarket parts on a Continental Motors engine constitutes a deviation from FAA
approved type-design criteria. Continental Motors has not participated in design, test, or
certification of any aftermarket parts. Continental Motors does not provide product manufacturing
specifications to aftermarket parts manufacturers and accepts no liability for the suitability,
durability, longevity, or safety of such parts installed on Continental Motors engines. Installation
of aftermarket parts on a Continental Motors engine must be performed using Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness prepared by the manufacturer and accepted by the FAA for the subject
installation. Continental Motors ICAs must not be used for such parts.
Service documents may contain general information or information specific to a group of engines
or be in effect for a limited time frame. Service Documents may also contain advance changes to
the ICAs. It is the responsibility of the organization/person maintaining or operating the engine to
verify that current and complete information, including Service Documents, FAA Airworthiness
Directives (ADs), and publications are used.
To facilitate the use of current data, Continental Motors provides information on the Continental
Motors web site. The information available includes a listing of the latest manual versions,
service documents, FAA ADs, and other information applicable to the ICAs.
Manuals published since 2003 are available on the Continental Motors web site to Fixed Base
Operators (FBOs) who subscribe to Continental Motors Internet Services. Information available
to Continental Motors engine owners is also available to FBOs. Printed manuals and service
subscriptions are also available. Refer to “Publication Access” in Section 1-2.3.
