Dull or scratched canopy sections can be returned to their
transparent state by treating with especially formulated
plexiglass cleaning agents.

Interior Cleaning

Prior to the first acrobatic flight of the day it is recom-
mended to clean the interior with a vacuum cleaner to
remove dust and loose dirt. If liquid is spilled on the cockpit
floor, blot it up promptly with cleansing tissue or rags.
Continue blotting until no more liquid is taken up.
Never use gasoline, benzine, alcohol, acetone, carbon
tetracloride, fire extinguisher fluid, anti-ice fluid, lac-
quer thinner, or glass cleaner to clean the canopy. These
materials will damange the canopy and may cause se-
vere crazing.

Engine Cleaning

Accumulation of dirt and oil within the engine compartment
creates a fire hazard and hampers inspection. All cleaning
operations have to be performed in well ventiated work
areas, and it is ensure that adequate fire-fighting and safety
equipment is avaiable.
The engine is cleaning as follows:
1 Allow the engine after running to cool before cleaning.
2 The magnetos, alternator, starter, the air inlets and
the engine cowling (the inside of the engine cowling
is covered with water soluble fire protection paint
(CFRP cowlings up to SN 1323 and GFRP cowlings))
must be protected against cleaning agents.
3 Wash down engine compartment using a nonflammable
engine cleaning agent.
4 Thorougly rinse with clean, warm water to remove all traces
of cleaning agents.
