Handling
8.5.2 CANOPY AND REAR DOOR
The canopy and rear door should be cleaned with 'Plexiklar' or any other acrylic glass
detergent if available; otherwise use lukewarm water. Final cleaning should be done with
a clean piece of chamois-leather or soft cloth. Never rub or polish dry acrylic glass.
8.5.3 PROPELLER
Damage and malfunctions during operation must be inspected by authorized personnel.
Surface
The manufacturer uses PU paint or acrylic paint which is resistant to almost any solvent.
The blades may be treated with commercial automotive cleaning agents or preservatives.
The penetration of moisture into the wooden core must be avoided by all means. Should
doubts arise, an appropriately rated inspector must be consulted.
8.5.4 ENGINE
Engine cleaning is part of the scheduled inspections.
Do not use acidic detergents (e.g. automotive wheel cleaners)
for cleaning the exhaust system.
