FLYABLE
STORAGE
Airplanes 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,
lhe
propeller should be
rotated
by
hand through
five
revolutions.
This action
"limbers"
the oil
and
helps prevent any
accumulation
of
corrosion
on
engine
cylinder
walls.

FOR
MAXIMUM SAFETY, CHECK
THAT
THE
IGNITION SWITCH
IS
OFF, THE THROTTLE
IS
CLOSED, THE M¡XTURE CONTROL
IS IN
THE
IDLE CUT OFF POS¡TION, AND THE AIRPLANE
IS
SECURED BEFORE ROTATING
THE
PROPELLER BY HAND. DO NOT STAND
WITHIN
THE ARC OF THE PROPELLER BLADES
WHILE
TURNING THE PROPELLER.
After 30 days, the airplane should be flown for 30 minutes or
a
ground runup should be made just long enough
to
produce an
oil
temperature within
the
lower green
arc
range. Excessive
ground
runup should be avoided.
Engine runup also
helps
to
eliminate excessive
accumulations of
water in the fuel system and other air spaces in the engine.
Keep
fuel tanks full
to
minimize condensation
in
the
tanks. Keep
the
battery fully charged
to
prevent
the electrolyte from freezing in
cold
weather.
lf
the
airplane
is to be
stored temporarily,
or
indefinitely,
refer to
the
Maintenance Manual for proper storage procedures.
SERVICING
ln addition to the
Preflight lnspection
covered in
Section
4
of this
handbook, complete servicing, inspection and test
requirements
for
your
airplane
are
detailed
in
the
Maintenance Manual.
The
Maintenance Manual outlines
all
items which require attention
at
specific intervals plus those items which require
servicing,
inspection, and/or testing
at
special intervals.
