SERVICE
MANUAL
On PA-32RT-300
removal
of
the tail
pipe
and
stacks
are
required
for inspection
of the
muffler
baffles.
(On
PA-32RT-300T
removal
of
the
tail
pipe
is
required
for
inspection
of
the
cabin
heat
shroud
and
heat
sink
material
under
the
shroud
on
the
tail
pipe.)
Remove
or
loosen
all
exhaust
shields,
cabin
heat
shroud,
heat
blankets,
etc.,
as
required
to
permit
inspection
of
the
complete
system.
Perform
the
necessary
cleaning
operations
and
inspect
all
external
surfaces
for
dents,
cracks
and
missing
parts.
Pay
particular
attention
to
welds,
clamps,
supports
and
support
attachment
lugs,
slip
joints,
stack
flanges
and
gaskets.
Inspect
internal
baffles
or
diffusers
on
PA-32RT-300.
Any
cracks,
warpage
or
severe
oxidation
are
cause
for
replacement
of
muffler
(or
tail
pipe
assembly).
If
any
component
is
inaccessible
for
a thorough
visual
inspection,
accomplish
one
of
the
following:
a.
Accomplish
a
submerged
pressure
check
of
the
PA-32RT-300
muffler
and
exhaust
stack
at
2
psi
air
pressure
(or
perform
a submerged
pressure
check
of
the
tail
pipe
assembly
at
20
psi
air
pressure
on
PA-32RT-300T
airplanes).
b.
Conduct
a
ground
test
using
a
carbon
monoxide
indicator
by
heading
the
airplane
into
the
wind,
warming
the
engine
on
the
ground,
advancing
the
throttle
to
full
static
RPM
with
cabin
heat
valves
open,
and
taking
readings
of
the
heated
airstream
inside
the
cabin
at
each
outlet.
Appropriate
sampling
procedures
applicable
to
the
particular
indicator
must
be
followed.
If
carbon
monoxide
concentration
exceeds
.005
percent
or
if
a
dangerous
reading
is
obtained
on
an
indicator
not
calibrated
in
percentages,
the
muffler
on
PA-32RT-300
(or
tail
pipe
assembly
on
PA-32RT-300T
must
be
replaced).
c.
Insure
the
proper
installation
of
the
shroud
on
the
muffler
upon
reassembly.
1.
Check
the
left
end
of
muffler
and
shroud
assembly
to
determine
if
the
shroud
retaining
tabs
are
totally
visible
on
the
outside
of
the
shroud
(Refer
to
Figure
3-1.)
2.
If
tabs
are
not
visible
and
the
shroud
is
mislocated,
remove
and
reinstall
the
shroud
in
the
proper
position.
3.
Mislocation
of
the
shroud
could
result
in
shifting
of
the
shroud
with
a
resulting
reduction
of
cabin
heat
and
possible
inability
of
the
nose
landing
gear
(32R)
to
fully
extend
to
its
down
lock
position.
