WARNING
Section VIII
Handling, Serv - Maint
Do not expose control surface trim tab hinge
lines and their pushrod systems to the direct
stream or spray of high-pressure, soap-and-
water washing equipment. Fluid dispensed at
high pressure could remove the protective lubri-
cant, allowing moisture from heavy or pro-
longed rain to collect at hinge lines, and then to
freeze at low temperatures. After high-
pressure or hand washing, and at each periodic
inspection, lubricate trim tab hinge lines and
trim tab pushrod end fittings (Brayco 300 per
Federal
Specification VV-L-800 preferred). See
Consumable Materials.
CAUTION
When cleaning landing gear areas with solvent,
especially if high-pressure equipment is used,
exercise care to avoid washing away grease
from landing gear components. After washing
the landing gear areas with solvent, lubricate
all lubrication points, or premature wear may
result.
Do not apply wax, polish, rubbing compound, or
abrasive cleaner to any uncured painted
surface. Use of such items can permanently
damage the surface finish. Also, waxes and
polishes seal the paint from the air and prevent
curing.
