Cessna 310P 310Q & Turbo 310 1969-1974 Service Manual PDF

Description

Cessna 310P, 310Q and Turbo 310 Series Service Manual – 1969 thru 1974

This is the full Cessna service manual for the 1969 through 1974 Model 310 and Turbo 310 Series aircraft. It covers the 310P, 310Q, Turbo 310P and Turbo 310Q, plus the 310QII and Turbo 310QII which are the same airframes with certain optional equipment installed as standard. The December 1974 reprint consolidates the original December 1970 basic manual with Changes 1 through 8 issued between April 1971 and May 1974, so the procedures and specifications reflect the factory service position as of that date.

At 925 pages, this is the deep reference a shop reaches for when a 310 needs more than a line inspection – gear rigging, engine mount shimming, control cable tensions, fuel system purging, structural repair and everything between.

Taken as a whole, the manual walks a technician from first principles through to component-level service. Section 2 alone carries the inspection charts, the lubrication diagram set, the service chart and the components-and-location chart – the working backbone of any scheduled maintenance visit. From there the book moves into each system with removal, disassembly, cleaning, inspection, repair, assembly, installation, rigging and troubleshooting detail, including the expanded paragraphs the inspection chart points back to. Vendors’ publications are referenced where a component’s complete disassembly and parts breakdown is handled by a separate document.

Models, Engines and Serial Coverage

The certification table in the foreword sets the coverage out clearly: the 1969 model year is the 310P and T310P, the 1970-1973 years are the 310Q and T310Q, and the 1974 year is the 310Q / 310QII and T310Q / T310QII. Procedures throughout the book are keyed to serial numbers where a change occurred – you will see 310P0001 and On, 310Q0001 and On, 310Q0401 and On, 310Q0601 and On, 310Q0901 and On, 310P0120 and On, and 310Q0824 and On called out at the exact step where the aircraft differs.

The 310P is powered by two Continental IO-470-VO six-cylinder horizontally-opposed fuel-injection engines. The Turbo 310P and Turbo 310Q use the Continental TSIO-520-B turbocharged, fuel-injected six-cylinder engine. Both drive constant-speed, all-metal, full-feathering propellers – McCauley two-blade as standard, three-blade optional. The general description also records the fully retractable, electrically operated tricycle landing gear, electrically operated split-type wing flaps, and flight-adjustable trim tabs on the right elevator, left aileron and rudder.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

With this Cessna 310 service manual on hand you can carry out the jobs that keep a 310 airworthy and correctly rigged rather than merely running. That includes landing gear actuator and manual extension system work, main and nose gear removal and rebuild, gear door rigging, nose gear steering and shimmy dampener servicing, brake system bleeding and master cylinder overhaul, wing removal and reinstallation with the correct front and rear spar bolt torque values, horizontal and vertical stabilizer removal, control pedestal removal and rigging, cabin step cable and turnbuckle adjustment, flap and trim actuator service, engine mount inspection against the eccentricity and thickness limits, exhaust system leak checking, and the painting, corrosion treatment and structural repair procedures in Section 16.

Getting these procedures right matters. The manual spells out torque figures, cable tensions, control surface travels, rigging sequences and operating times – and it also warns where a wrong move causes damage, such as the 55-degree nose gear towing limit, the risk of an aircraft tipping backward when the aft fuselage is entered, or the fuel cell damage that paint stripper can cause. Having the factory’s own sequence and numbers in front of you is the difference between a repair that holds and a repeat visit.
