INDUCTION AIR FILTER. The air
filter on the PA-32RT-300 is

PROPELLER.
247. SERVICING PROPELLER.
The spinner, back plate and propeller
surfaces should be
cleaned and inspected frequently for nicks, scratches, corrosion and cracks. Minor nicks and
scratches may be removed as found in Section VIII or VIIIA. The face of each blade should
be painted when necessary with a flat paint to retard glare. To prevent corrosion, wipe
surfaces with a light oil or wax.
In addition, propellers should be inspected for grease or oil leakage and freedom of
rotation on
the hub pilot tube. To check freedom
of rotation, rock the blade back and forth
through the slight freedom allowed by the pitch change mechanism. Lubricate the propeller
at 100-hour intervals
in accordance with the
lubrication Chart.
Additional service information for the propeller may be found in Section VIII or VIIIA.
2-48. BATTERY.
2-49. SERVICING BATTERY. Servicing of the battery, which is located under the floor
panel of the forward baggage compartment, involves adding distilled water to maintain
electrolyte even with the horizontal baffles, checking cable connections, and checking for
any spilled electrolyte that would lead to corrosion. A check for proper fluid level and
presence
of corrosion should be conducted
at intervals of 50 hours or 30 days,
whichever
comes first.
When corrosion is found, at each 100
hour inspection or every 90 days,
the
battery should be removed from
the box, and the battery and box
should be cleaned.
Removal, cleaning and charging instructions may be found in Section XI of this manual.
