STORAGE
1.
A.
The following guidelines are applicable for situations in which the aircraft is not to be used for
periods of time between 7 and 30 Days. They are meant to help prevent deterioration of the
aircraft during periods of non-use.
(1) To prepare the engine for storage, check for correct oil level and add oil if necessary to bring
the level to the full mark. Then, run the engine for at least five minutes at 1200 to 1500 RPM
with oil and cylinder heat temperatures in the normal operating range. Shut down the
engine.
(2) Top up the fuel tanks to prevent condensation of water in the tanks.
(3) Install covers over the cabin area to keep out moisture and sunlight. Install Pitot tube cover.
To prevent oxidation of the finish, the use of covers over the composite fuselage during
extended periods of outdoor tie-down, especially in summer time, is recommended.
BEFORE ROTATING THE PROPELLER BLADES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE
IGNITION SWITCH IS IN THE OFF-POSITION AND THE THROTTLE IS
CLOSED.
DO NOT ROTATE THE PROPELLER CLOCKWISE.
(4) After every seven days during storage, rotate the propeller by hand. After rotating the
engine six revolutions, stop the propeller 60° to 120° from its former position.
(5) If, at the end of 30 days, the aircraft will not be removed from storage, the engine should be
started and run in a safe area. The preferred method is to fly the aircraft for at least 30
minutes.
