DESCRIPTION
&
OPERATION
PA-28-161,
WARRIOR
II
Manually controlled flaps are provided on the PA-28-161. The flaps are
balanced
and
spring loaded
to
return to the retracted (up) position. A
control
handle, which is located between the two front seats on the control
console (Figure
7-3), extends the flaps by the use of a control cable. To
extend
the flaps, the handle
is
pulled
up
to
the desired flap setting
of
I
0,
25
or
40 degrees.
To
retract, depress the button
on
the end of the handle and lower
the
control. When extending
or
retracting flaps, there
is
a pitch change in the
airplane. This pitch change can be corrected either by stabilator trim or
increased control wheel force. When the flaps are in the retracted {up)
position
the right flap, provided with
an
over-center lock mechanism, acts
as
a step. ·
NOTE
The right flap will support a load only in the
fully retracted
(up) position. When the flap
is
to
be used as a step, make sure the flaps are in the
retracted (up) position.

For
information
on
the·
leaning procedure, see the Avco-Lycoming Operator's Manual.

friction adjustment lever on the right side of the control quadrant
may
be adjusted to increase
or
decrease the friction holding the throttle and
mixture
controls
or
to lock the controls in a selected position.
The
carburetor
heat control lever
is
located to the right
of
the control
quadrant
on
