INTERIOR CARE.
To
remove
dust
and loose
dirt
from the
upholstery
and
carpet,
clean
the
interior regularly
with a vacuum
cleaner.
Blot up
any
spilled liquid promptly with cleansing
tissue or rags.
Don't pat the spot;
press
the blotting
material firmly
and hold
it for
several
seconds.
Continue blotting until
no
more
liquid is taken up.
Scrape
off
sticky materials
with
a
dull knife, then
spot-clean
the
area,
Oily
spots
may
be
cleaned with household spot
removers,
used spar~
ingly.
Before using any solvent,
read
the
instructions
on
the
container
and
test it
on an
obscure
place
on
the
fabric
to
be
cleaned.
Never
satu-
rate
the
fabric
with
a volatile
solvent;
it
may damage the padding
and
backing
materials.
Soiled
upholstery
and
carpet
may be cleaned with a foam-type
deter-
gent, used according
to
the
manufacturer's instructions.
Keep the foam
as
dry as possible
and
remove
it
with a vacuum
cleaner,
to minimize
wetting the
fabric.
If
your
airplane is
equipped with
leather
seating, cleaning
of
the
seats
is
accomplished using
a
soft cloth or sponge dipped in mild soap
suds.
The soap suds, used
sparingly,
will
remove traces
of
dirt
and
grease.
The
soap should
be
removed with a clean damp cloth.
The
plastic trim, headliner, instrument
panel and control knobs need
only
be
wiped
off
with a damp cloth. Oil and
grease
on
the
control
wheel
and
control
knobs can be removed with
a
cloth moistened with Stoddard
solvent.
Volatile
solvents,
such
as
mentioned in
paragraphs
on
care
of
the windshield, must
never
be
used
since
they soften and
craze
the
plastic.
FLYABLE
STORAGE.
Aircraft
placed in
non-operational storage for a
maximum
of 30
days
or those which
receive
only
intermittent operational
use
for
the
first
25
hours
are considered
in flyable
storage status. Every
seventh
day
during
these periods,
the
propeller
should
be
rotated
by
hand through five
revolu-
tions.
This
action
"limbers'
the oil and
prevents
any accumulation
of
cor-
rosion
on engine cylinder
walls.
IMPORTANT
For
maximum safety, check
that
the ignition switch
is
5-4
