3.2.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

(1) TEMPORARY STORAGE - 30 to 90 Days

(a) Park and moor the airplane.
(b) Apply engine preservation. In extremely cold weather, it is advisable to drain the
oil sump immediately after stopping for a long period and to warm the oil to 100°F
before refilling the sump. To prevent excessive cooling of the oil sump and
excessively high oil viscosity in cold weather, the sump may be covered with an
oil-proof lagging. Refer to the latest edition of Manufacture's Service Letter.
(c) Fill the fuel tanks completely. Check for water accumulating each week.
(d) Wipe the tires with dry cloth, and treat them with tire protector spray. Mark the
tire positions and date with chalk. Turn the wheels and check air pressure
regularly.
(e) Remove the battery (Refer to Chapter 6.3.14) and ELT battery (Refer to Chapter
5.4.14) and store in accordance with standard practices. Clean the battery
compartment and the battery cable terminals to neutralize any battery acid that
may be present.
(f) Lubricate according to lubrication schedule. (Refer to Chapter 6.2.3)
(g) Clean the propeller to remove dirt, oil, and bug accumulation. A good practice is
to position the propeller in an angled or horizontal position.
(h) Clean and cover the instruments and panel. Observe any additional precautions
recommended by the various manufacturers of the avionics and the instruments.
