Maintenance and Technical Scope

Coverage is controlled by model and serial effectivity, not by a blanket 1980-2005 model-year range. The powerplant sections distinguish Continental IO-520-BA/BB installations from the later 300-hp IO-550-B used on A36 serials E-1946, E-2104, E-2111 and after, and the 300-hp turbocharged TSIO-520-UB used on A36TC/B36TC serials EA-11 and after. The manual documents engine removal and installation, engine build-up, air-pressure and engine-driven fuel-pump work, ground running, idle-mixture and full-throttle adjustment, fuel-flow calibration, manifold-pressure adjustment, and oil-pressure adjustment.

The repair scope is broader than scheduled service. Factory procedures cover main and nose landing gear removal, installation and overhaul; shimmy-damper overhaul; landing gear actuator functional testing and complete gear rigging; brake bleeding and parking-brake adjustment; flap motor, shaft and actuator work; aileron, rudder/ruddervator and elevator control rigging; control-surface balance; wing removal and installation; wing-bolt and fitting inspection; magnetic-particle inspection; wing adjustment; and forward spar carry-through inspection and repair. Unscheduled inspection data addresses hard landings, turbulent-air encounters and lightning strikes, while Chapter 5 also contains the 100-hour/annual inspection program and the 50-hour acrobatic spin inspection applicable to F33C aircraft.

Powerplant repair depth has a defined boundary. Chapter 72 directs complete internal engine overhaul to the applicable Continental overhaul manuals—Forms X-30039A, X-30042 and X-30568—rather than reproducing those vendor overhaul instructions. The base publication likewise points dedicated aircraft wiring work to separate Bonanza Wiring Diagram Manuals P/N 35-590102-9 and 35-590102-11. For G36 aircraft, A28 references the separate G36 Maintenance Manual Supplement P/N 36-590001-11, plus G36 Electrical Wiring Diagram Manual P/N 36-590001-13 and Avionics Wiring Diagram Manual P/N 36-590001-15. Navigation and communication coverage in the base manual includes pitot/static testing, static-discharge equipment, electrical/electronic equipment locations, DC generation, and electrical load distribution; component-level avionics service is referenced to the applicable equipment manufacturer data.

Specifications and Data Overview

• Fuel and oil: standard/optional fuel configurations include 44-gallon usable/50-gallon capacity and 74-gallon usable/80-gallon capacity systems; B36TC serials EA-242, EA-273 and after use a 102-gallon usable/108-gallon capacity system. The wet-sump engine oil capacity is 12 quarts, with a normal 100-hour oil and filter change interval.
• Landing gear and flight controls: the schedule calls out 4,000 hours for the landing gear actuator, 2,000 hours for the retract motor and nose-gear retract-rod rod ends, and 500 hours for retract-motor brushes. Flap actuators and flexible shafts are listed at 2,000 hours. Landing gear rigging specifies an external source capable of maintaining 28.25 ± 0.25 VDC.
• Servicing values: nose tire pressure is 40 psi and main tire pressure is 33-40 psi. Spark plugs are specified at 300-360 in-lb. Oxygen charging is specified at 1,850 ± 50 psi at 70°F, with temperature compensation. Air-conditioning data identifies the R-12/R-134a serial break at CE-1792, E-2945 and EA-579, a 2.4-lb full refrigerant charge, and evacuation to 125 microns.
• Special tools: the tool section identifies wing-bolt wrenches such as TS1222-3 and TS1222-5 with TS1171/TS1176-series torque-wrench adapters, main-wheel jack adapter P/N 35-590006, hoisting sling assembly P/N 35-590064-1, and landing-gear tension gage P/N 45-590074-7.

The manual uses serial- and position-specific wing-attach hardware and wet-torque data rather than one universal wing-bolt value. It also provides inspection limits, cable tensions, control-surface travels, bearing and bushing wear limits, brake and strut servicing data, propeller settings, electrical test values, and fuel-system pressure/flow charts.

Named technical illustrations and charts show the level of shop detail, including Landing Gear System, Fuel Flow Calibration, Air-Conditioning System Schematic, Pressure System Schematic, Airplane Zoning Diagram, and Lubrication Schedule. Troubleshooting coverage includes DC generation, landing gear electrical operation, propeller deicing, ignition, starting, pneumatic/instrument air, air conditioning, and the turbocharger system.

Several repair cautions are highly specific. Electrically operating the landing gear with the emergency hand crank engaged can damage the actuator worm-shaft engagement slot and trigger a teardown and magnetic inspection. The landing-gear shock struts use the torque knees as extension stops, so disconnecting those joints before releasing strut pressure and supporting the assembly can allow the piston assembly to slide out. Wing attach work is equally hardware-sensitive: removed mounting nuts are discarded, and the manual warns that incorrect dry-film-lubricated nuts can produce improper bolt preload when used with the specified corrosion-preventive compound.

Landing-gear/jacking work, pressurized oxygen, refrigerant servicing, propeller handling, and engine repair involve stored energy, high pressure, rotating components, and electrical hazards. The applicable warnings, serial effectivity, and referenced supplier data should be followed before maintenance or repair is performed.
