Text Search, Bookmarks and PDF Contents

Search and diagram detail: An embedded OCR text layer supports searches through most of the manual; the bearing-installation page at PDF p. 194 has no searchable text. Chapter and section bookmarks are available, although three front-matter entries have no working destination. Small labels in the checked system schematics are readable with magnification.

The download contains one printable, English-language 778-page PDF, including 12 title, publication and revision pages plus a 17-page introduction. Chapter dividers, contents pages and effective-page lists are included in the total.

Airframe Repair, Rigging and Powerplant Service

The following selected coverage highlights outline major shop tasks. Other topics include electrical bonding and corrosion treatment.

• Powerplant service: Step-by-step engine removal and installation, accessory transfer, air-pressure and engine-driven fuel-pump replacement, ground running, mixture adjustment and fuel-flow calibration.

• Landing gear and brakes: Main and nose gear overhaul, shimmy-damper overhaul, retract-actuator testing, complete gear rigging, brake bleeding and parking-brake adjustment.

• Flight controls: Aileron, rudder, ruddervator and elevator rigging, flap motor and actuator work, flexible-shaft service and control-surface balancing.

• Wings and structure: Wing removal and installation, bolt and fitting inspection, magnetic-particle inspection, wing adjustment and forward spar carry-through inspection and repair.

• Electrical and instruments: DC-generation troubleshooting, ignition and starting diagnosis, propeller-deicer tests, pitot/static checks, instrument-air troubleshooting and electrical/electronic equipment locations.

• Fuel and cabin systems: Fuel-cell replacement, auxiliary pump and selector-valve service, oxygen-system testing, air-conditioning diagnosis and refrigerant servicing.

• Inspections and maintenance: Scheduled inspection guides, overhaul and replacement schedules, lubrication charts, and inspections following hard landings, turbulent-air encounters and lightning strikes.

This manual suits qualified aircraft maintenance personnel; its inspection guidance expressly relies on the judgment of a certified airframe and powerplant mechanic.

Model Effectivity and Supplement Requirements

Model and serial effectivity determine which procedures apply. The serial-specific sections help maintenance personnel select the appropriate configuration before choosing parts, tests or adjustments.

G36 coverage: Revision A28 adds the reference to the separate G36 Maintenance Manual Supplement, P/N 36-590001-11, and updates Chapter 91 consumable-material data. G36-specific maintenance also requires that supplement; G36 Electrical Wiring Diagram Manual P/N 36-590001-13 and Avionics Wiring Diagram Manual P/N 36-590001-15 are separate publications.

Dedicated aircraft wiring is covered by Bonanza Wiring Diagram Manuals P/N 35-590102-9 and 35-590102-11. These referenced manuals and the G36 supplement are not included in this download.

Engine Configurations and Repair Depth

The powerplant sections distinguish Continental IO-520-BA and IO-520-BB installations from the 300-hp IO-550-B fitted to A36 serials E-1946, E-2104, E-2111 and after. Turbocharged A36TC/B36TC aircraft, serials EA-11 and after, use the 300-hp TSIO-520-UB.

Engine build-up covers transferring accessories and equipment to a replacement engine. Adjustment coverage extends to full-throttle fuel settings, manifold pressure and oil pressure, with Fuel Flow Calibration illustrations and pressure/flow charts.

Internal overhaul: Chapter 72 refers detailed engine disassembly, internal inspection, assembly and testing to Continental overhaul manuals Forms X-30039A, X-30042 and X-30568. Those overhaul instructions are not reproduced here.

Propeller coverage includes removal, installation, governor adjustment and minor blade repair. Turbocharger troubleshooting relates symptoms to the controller, wastegate, reference lines and induction/exhaust leaks.

Landing Gear, Controls and Structural Reference Data

Wear tables give bearing and bushing limits alongside cable tensions, control-surface travels, brake and strut servicing data, propeller settings and electrical test values. The Landing Gear System illustration connects adjustment locations with the gear mechanism.

The overhaul schedule lists the landing gear actuator at 4,000 hours, the retract motor and nose-gear retract-rod rod ends at 2,000 hours, and retract-motor brushes at 500 hours or on condition. Flap actuators and flexible shafts are listed at 2,000 hours.

Wing-attach data is specific to hardware, position and serial effectivity, with wet-torque requirements rather than one universal wing-bolt value. Chapter 5 includes the 100-hour/annual inspection program and the 50-hour spin inspection applicable to F33C aircraft operated in acrobatic spins.

Fuel, Cabin Systems and Electrical Diagnosis

Fuel-system data distinguishes the 44-gallon usable/50-gallon capacity and 74-gallon usable/80-gallon capacity configurations. B36TC serials EA-242, EA-273 and after use the 102-gallon usable/108-gallon capacity system.

Oil servicing includes a normal 100-hour oil and filter change interval. Air-conditioning instructions distinguish R-12 installations from R-134a systems beginning at CE-1792, E-2945 and EA-579.

The Air-Conditioning System Schematic and Pressure System Schematic support system diagnosis. The Airplane Zoning Diagram locates equipment, while the Lubrication Schedule identifies service points.

Navigation and communication coverage includes pitot/static testing and static-discharge equipment. Electrical sections address DC generation and load distribution; component-level avionics service is referred to the applicable equipment manufacturer's data.

Shop Equipment and Component Cautions

Special-tool references include TS1222-3 and TS1222-5 wing-bolt wrenches with TS1171/TS1176-series torque-wrench adapters. Other equipment includes 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.

Landing-gear cautions address actuator worm-shaft damage requiring teardown and magnetic inspection after electrical operation with the emergency crank engaged; they also explain how pressurized strut pistons can slide out when the torque-knee extension stops are disconnected. Wing-attach cautions specify new mounting nuts and warn that incorrect dry-film-lubricated nuts can produce improper bolt preload 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.

A Preview of Spark-Plug and Refrigerant Service Data

The spark-plug servicing section specifies 300–360 in-lb with no lubrication. Plug selection and gap are referred to Continental Service Bulletin M77-10.

Air-conditioning servicing specifies a full refrigerant charge of 2.4 lb and system evacuation to a 125-micron level. These entries sit alongside serial-specific refrigerant and compressor-oil requirements.
