FOREWORD
This manual contains recommended procedures and instructions for ground han-
dling, servicing and maintaining Cessna single-engine commercial aircraft prior
to 1963 models. These include the Model 150, 172, 175, 180, 182, and 185. Al-
though not specifically written for earlier models which have been discontinued,
much of the information can be used as a guide for maintenance of the Model 120,
140 and 170. Besides serving as a reference for the experienced mechanic, this
book also covers step-by-step procedure for the less experienced man. This
manual should be kept in a handy place for ready reference. If properly used, it
will better enable the mechanic to maintain Cessna single-engine aircraft and
thereby establish a reputation for reliable service.
The material presented in this manual is divided into twenty sections. All sec-
tions and their major paragraph titles are listed in the table of contents at the
front of the book. A section table of contents, listing each paragraph and the
page on which it appears, is located at the front of each individual section. All
information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based
on the latest information available at the time of publication.
This information is supplemented and kept current by service letters and service
news letters published by Cessna Aircraft Company. This information goes to
all Cessna Dealers so that they have the latest authoritative information for servic-
ing Cessna Airplanes. Therefore, Cessna recommends that all Cessna owners
utilize the Cessna-trained Dealer Service Organization to the fullest, to receive
the benefit of their knowledge and experience.
