and
After
The
windshield
and plastic
windows
should
be kept clean
and waxed at all times. To prevent scratches
wash
the
windows
carefully
with
plenty
of soap and
water,
using the
palm of the hand to feel and dislodge
dirt
and mud. A soft
cloth, chamois or sponge may be used,
but
only
to carry
water
to the surface. Rinse thoroughly, then dry
with
a
clean,
moist
chamois. Rubbing the surface of
the
plastic
with
a dry cloth builds up an electrostatic charge
which
attracts
dust
particles in
the
air.
Remove oil and grease
with
a cloth
moistened
with
iso-
propyl alcohol. Never use gasoline, benzine, alcohol, ace-
tone, carbon tetrachloride,
fire
extinguisher
fluid,
anti-ice
fluid,
lacquer
thinner
or glass cleaner. These
materials
will
soften plastic and may cause it to craze.
After
thoroughly
cleaning, the surface should be waxed
with
agood grade of commercial wax. The
wax
will
fill
in
the
minor
scratches and help prevent
further
scratching.
Apply
a
thin,
even coat of
wax
and bring it to a
high
polish by
rubbing
lightly
with
a clean, dry,
soft
flannel
cloth. Do
not
use a
power
buffer;
the
heat
generated by
the
buffing
pad
may soften
the
plastic.
SURFACE DEICE BOOTS
The surfaces of
the
deice boots should be checked
for
indi-
cation of engine oil
after
servicing and at
the
end of each
flight.
Any oil spots
that
are
found
should
be removed
with
a
non-detergent
soap and
water
solution.
Care
should
be
exercised
during
cleaning. Avoid
scrubbing
the
surface
of
the
boots as
this
will
tend to remove the special
graphite
surfacing. The deice boots are made of soft,
flexible
stock
which
may be damaged if qasoline hoses are dragged over
the
surface of the boots or if ladders and
platforms
are
rested against them.
