it
on an obscure place on the fabric to be cleaned. Never satu-
rate 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.
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 kerosene.
Volatile solvents, such as mentioned in paragraphs on care of the wind-
shield, must never be used since they soften and craze the plastic.
INSPECTION SERVICE AND INSPECTION PERIODS.
With your airplane you will receive an Owner's Service Policy. Cou-
pons attached to the policy entitle you to an initial inspection and the first
100-hour inspection at no charge. If you take delivery from your Dealer,
he will perform the initial inspection before delivery of the airplane to
you. If you pick up the airplane at the factory, plan to take it to your
Dealer reasonably soon after you take delivery on it. This will permit
him to check it over and to make any minor adjustments that may appear
necessary. Also, plan an inspection by your Dealer at 100 hours or 180
days, whichever comes first. This inspection also is performed by your
Dealer for you at no charge. While these important inspections will be
performed for you by any Cessna Dealer, in most cases you will prefer
to have the Dealer from whom you purchased the airplane accomplish
this work.
Federal Aviation Regulations require that all airplanes have a peri-
odic (annual) inspection as prescribed by the administrator, and per-
formed by a person designated by the administrator. In addition, 100-
hour periodic inspections made by an "appropriately-rated mechanic"
are required
if
the airplane is flown for hire. The Cessna Aircraft
Company recommends the 100-hour periodic inspection for your air-
plane. The procedure for this 100-hour inspection has been carefully
worked out by the factory and is followed by the Cessna Dealer Organ-
ization. The complete familiarity of the Cessna Dealer Organization
with Cessna equipment and with factory-approved procedures provides
the highest type of service possible at lower cost.
