CESSNA SECTION 8
MODEL 172S NAV

HANDLING, SERVICE AND 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 airplane
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.
