CARE OF WINDSHIELD
AND WINDOWS
A certain amount of care
is
needed to keep the
plexiglas
windows
clean and unmarred. The
following procedure is
recommended:
1. Flush with clean water
and
dislodge
excess dirt, mud,
etc.
with
your hand.
2. Wash with mild soap and water or Piper Plastic Cleaner. Use a
soft
cloth or sponge. Do not
rub.
3.
Remove oil,
grease
or
sealing compounds
with a soft
cloth and
kerosene.
4.
After cleaning, apply a thin coat of
hard polishing
wax. Rub
lightly
with a soft cloth.
5.
A severe
scratch
or
may may
be
removed
by
using
jeweler's
rouge
to
rub
out the
scratch,
smoothing,
and then
applying wax.
BATTERY SERVICE
Access for service or
inspection
of
the
battery
is
obtained through
the removal of the
panel
at
the
right
rear side of
the
baggage
compartment.
The stainless steel box
has
a
plastic drain
tube which
is
normally closed off with
a clamp
and
which should
be
opened
occasionally
to drain
off any accumulation of
liquid. The battery
should
be
checked
for proper fluid level,
but
must
not
be filled
above
the
baffle plates.
Use
only water
-
no acid. A hydrometer check should
be
performed
to
determine the
percent
of charge
present
in
the
battery.
If
the
battery
is
not up to charge,
recharge starting
at a
4
ampere
rate and
finishing
with
a
2
ampere rate.
Quick
charges are
not
recommended.
