ENGINE CARE
The engine may be cleaned with Stoddard solvent, or equivalent, then dried thoroughly
Particular care should be given to electrical equipment before cleaning.
Cleaning fluids should not be allowed to enter magnetos, starter alternator
and the like. Protect these components before saturating the engine with
solvents. All other openings should also be covered before cleaning the
engine assembly. Caustic cleaning solutions should be used cautiously
and should always be properly neutralized after their use.
INTERIOR CARE
To remove dust and loose dire from the upholstery and carpet, clean the interior regularly with
a vacuum cleaner.
Blot up any spilled liquid promptly with cleansing tissues or rags. Don't pat the spot; press the
blotting material firmly and fold 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 sparingly. Before using any
solvent, read the instruction on the container and test it on an obscure place on the fabric to be
cleaned. Never saturate the fabric with a volatile solvent; it may damage the padding and
backing materials.
Soiled upholstery and carpet may be cleaned with foam-type detergent, used according to the
manufacturer's instructions. To minimize wetting the fabric, keep the foam as dry as possible
and remove it with a vacuum cleaner.
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.
