Handling, Serv- Maint
The plastic trim, instrument panel, and eontroi knobs need
only be wiped with a damp cloth . Oil and grease on the
eontroi wheel and eontroi knobs can be removed with a
cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Volatile solvents,
such as gasoline, benzine, acetone, carbon tetrachloride,
fire extinguisher fluid, anti-ice fluid , laquer thinner, or
glass cleaner should not be used . These materials will
soften the plastic and may cause it to craze.
ENGINE
Clean the engine with
neutrał
solvent. Spray or brush the
fluid over the engine, then wash off with water and allow
to dry. Solutions which may attack rubber or plastic should
not be used.
LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is essential in keeping the airplane
components in top condition . lf this operation is per-
formed thoroughly,
generał
maintenance will be reduced
and the service life of the airplane will be greatly
increased.
The grease fittings or parts must be wiped clean to make
sure that no dirt is carried into the part when lubricated.
Apply lubricant sparingly, but with assurance that the
bearing surfaces are adequately covered . Wipe off excess
lubricant to prevent the accumulation
ot
dust and foreign
materiaL

Lubricate all pivotal points as shown on the
Lubrication Diagram in the Shop Manual to

tioning . More frequent lubrication may be re-
quired because of climate, or frequent usage
ot
the airplane.
