airplane. If difficulty is encountered with the water freezing on
boots, direct a blast of warm air along the region being cleaned
using a portable ground heater.
As an alternate cleaning solvent, use benzol or nonleaded
gasoline. Moisten the cleaning cloth in the solvent, scrub lightly,
and then, with a clean, dry cloth, wipe dry so that the cleaner does
not have time to soak into the rubber. Petroleum products such as
these are injurious to rubber, and therefore should be used
sparingly if at all.
With the deicer boots properly cleaned, a coating of Agemaster
No. I should be applied ·as described in the PA-46-3 IOP Service
Manual. This treatment helps protect the boot rubber from ozone
attack, aging and weathering.
After the Agemaster coating is dry, a coating of B.F. Goodrich
lcex may be applied to the boots if icing conditions are anticipated.
For specific instructions refer to the PA-46-31 OP Service Manual.
