such
gasoline,
benzine,
acetone,
carbon tetrachloride,
fire
extinguisher
fluid,
anti-ice
fluid, laquer
thinner,
or glass
cleaner
should
not be
used. These materials
will soften the
plastic
and
may
cause it to craze.
ENGINE
Clean the engine
with
neutral
solvent.
Spray or brush the
fluid over
the engine, then wash
off
with
water and
allow
to
dry.
Solutions
which
may
attack
rubber or plastic
should
not be
used.
LUBRICATION
Proper
lubrication
is essential
in
keeping the airplane
components
in
top condition.
If this
operation
is per-
formed
thoroughly,
general
maintenance
will
be
reduced
and
the
service
life of
the
airplane
will be
greatly
increased.
The grease
fittings or
parts must be
wiped clean to make
sure
that no
dirt is
carried
into
the
part when
lubricated.
Apply
lubricant
sparingly,
but with
assurance
that
the
bearing
surfaces
are adequately covered. Wipe
off excess
lubricant
to
prevent
the
accumulation
of dust
and foreign
material.
NOTE
Lubricate
all
pivotal
points
as
shown
on
the
Lubrication
Diagram
in the Shop Manual to
ensure freedom
of
movement and
proper func-
tioning. More
frequent
lubrication
may be
re-
quired because
of
climate, or frequent
usage of
the
airplane.
