1-4 Standard Practice Maintenance Manual
15 April 2016
Introduction
1-1.4. Using this Manual
This manual, the primary engine ICA listed in Section 1-1.1, applicable FAA ADs and
Continental Motors service documents, the accessory manuals listed in Table 1-2, and all
changes incorporated in the ICAs as revisions constitute the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICAs) prepared by Continental Motors and accepted by the FAA. We
prepared this manual in a user-friendly format suited equally for electronic viewing and
print. Illustrations in this manual are for reference only, depicting the most prominent
configuration in the engine series. Consult the electronic illustrated parts catalog for
engine model-specific illustrated parts breakdowns. The current information available
from Continental Motors must be used to perform engine service, repair or overhaul.
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).
WARNING
Continental Motors Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
are applicable only to Continental Motors engines conforming
to the approved, type certified engine model configuration.
Continental Motors ICAs must not be used for aftermarket
parts or products modified by Supplemental Type Certificate.
Installation of aftermarket parts on a Continental Motors engine constitutes a deviation
from 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 approved by the FAA for the subject installation. For work with the engine installed in
the aircraft, the aircraft maintenance manual may also be required to gain access to,
perform maintenance, or install some items. Use only the current information from the
aircraft manufacturer.
Exploded assembly illustrations accompany instructions throughout the manual. Parts in
illustrations (Figure 1-1) are identified with either alpha or numerical callouts (indexes).
Corresponding parts listings follow the illustrations for reference. The first time
instructions refer to an illustration, the figure number is identified in parentheses, followed
by the callout. In subsequent parts references, only the callout will be specified unless the
referenced illustration changes.
