6.4 CLEANING
It is important to keep the gyroplane and its engine clean to maintain it in
good condition. When cleaning, some mistake or damage can be found.
Rotor blades and propeller should be always clean as they are very
important to attain the best performance.
In order to protect the gyroplane from dust, humidity, bird soil... is
advisable to cover it when parked in the hangar.
Caution
Do not use high pressure sprayers as they can damage electrical
connections, bearings or paint.
Do not use solvents or gasoline as they can damage some parts of the
gyroplane.
Use car soap with water to clean the external parts. Windscreen and canopy
should only be cleaned with polycarbonate soap or polish (ELA part
Nº071717).
Protect the metal parts of the gyroplane and engine against corrosion,
especially in high humidity conditions, with "WD-40" spray or equivalent.
