1-8. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. The hydraulic system incorporates an electrically driven
pump which is controlled by a selector lever on the instrument panel which in turn operates
the retraction and extension of the landing gear.
1-9. BRAKE SYSTEM. The brake system is operated hydraulically and controlled by a
hand lever connected to a single brake cylinder that operates both wheel brakes, plus
individually operated toe brakes.
1-10. ENGINE. Engine models, rated horsepower and other related information may be
found in Table II-I of Section II.
1-11. PROPELLER. A constant speed propeller is installed and controlled by an engine

HANDLING AND SERVICING
2-1. INTRODUCTION. This section contains routine handling and servicing procedures
that are most frequently encountered. Frequent reference to this section will aid the
individual by providing information such as the location of various components, ground
handling procedures, routine service procedures and lubrication. When any system or
component requires service other than the routine procedures as outlined in this section,
refer to the appropriate section for that component.
2-2. DIMENSIONS. The principal airplane dimensions are shown in Figures 2-1 or 2-2 and
are listed in Table II-I.
2-3. STATION REFERENCE LINES. In order to facilitate the location of various
components of the airplane which require maintenance and servicing, a method utilizing
fuselage station, wing station or buttock line (BL), and water line (WL) designations is
frequently employed in this manual. (Refer to Figure 2-3 or Figure 2-4.) Fuselage stations,
buttock lines, and water lines are reference points measured by inches in the vertical or
horizontal direction from a given reference line which indicates station locations of
structural members of the airplane. Station 0 of the fuselage is 78.4 inches ahead of the
wing leading edge or 33.4 inches ahead of the firewall; station 0 (BL) of the wing and
stabilator is the centerline of the airplane; and station 0 (WL) of the vertical stabilizer and
rudder is 20.5 inches below the cabin floor as measured at the rear wing spar with the
airplane level.
2-4. WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA. When figuring various weight and balance
computations, the empty, static and gross weight, and center of gravity of the airplane may
be found in the Weight and Balance Section of Pilot's Operating Handbook.
2-5. SERIAL NUMBER PLATE. The serial number plate is located on the aft left side of
the fuselage. The serial number should always be used when referring to the airplane on
serviceor warranty matters.
