PROLONGED OUT OF SERVICE CARE
Storage procedures are intended to protect the airplane
from deterioration while it is not in use. The primary
objectives of these measures are to prevent corrosion and
damage from exposure to the elements.
Flyable Storage (7-30 days) has been considered here. For
more extended storage periods, consult the Beech
Airplane Shop Manual and Continental Service Bulletin
M 81-3 or later issue.
FLYABLE STORAGE - 7 TO 30 DAYS
MOORING
lf airplane cannot be placed in a hangar, tie down securely
at the three points provided. Do not use hemp or manila
rope. lt is recommended a tail support be used to compress
the nose strut and reduce the angle of attack of the wings.
Attach a line to the nose gear.
ENG/NE PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
Engines in airplanes that are flown only occasionally tend
to exhibit cylinder wall corrosion much more than engines
that are flown frequently.
Run engine at least five minutes at 1200 to 1500 rpm with
oil and cylinder head temperatures in the normal operating
range.
Check for correct oil level and add oil if necessary to bring
level to full mark.
FUEL CELLS
Fill to capacity to minimize fuel vapor and protect cell inner
liners.
