attention.
A Servicing Intervals
Check
List
is included to inform the pilot
when to have other items
checked
and serviced.
DAILY
FUEL
TANK FILLERS:
Service
after
each
flight
with
80/87
minimimi
grade fuel. The
capa-
city
of
each
tank is 21 gallons. When optional long range tanks are
installed,
the capacity of
each
tank is 26 gallons. (To ensure maxi-
mum
fuel capacity when refueling,
place
the fuel
selector
valve in
either
LEFT or RIGHT position to prevent
cross-feeding).
FUEL
STRAINER:
Before the
first
flight
of the day and after
each
refueling,
pull
out fuel
strainer
drain
knob for about four
seconds,
to clear fuel strainer of
possible
water and sediment.
Release
drain
knob, then
check
that
strainer
drain
is
closed
after draining. K water is
observed,
there
is a possibility
that
the fuel tank sumps contain water. Thus, the
fuel
tank sump
drain
plugs and fuel
selector
valve
drain
plug should
be removed to
check
for the
presence
of water.
OIL
DIPSTICK:
Check
oil level
before
each
flight.
Do not operate on
less
than 6 quarts.
To minimize
loss
of oil through breather,
fill
to 7 quart level for nor-
mal
flights of
less
than 3 hours. For extended
flight,
fill
to 8 quarts.
K
optional oil
filter
is installed, one additional quart is required when
the
filter
element is changed.
OIL
FILLER:
When preflight
check
shows
low oil level,
service
with
aviation
grade engine oil; SAE 50
above
60°F.
SAE
10W30
or SAE 30 at
temperatures from 0° to
70°F,
and SAE
10W30
or SAE 20 at
temperatures
below
10°F. (Multi-viscosity oil
with
a range of
SAE
10W30
is
recommended
for improved
starting
and lubrica-
tion
during warm-up in cold weather.) Detergent or dispersant
oil,
conforming to Specification No. MIL-L-22851, must be used.
Your
Cessna
Dealer can supply approved brands of oil.
