Cessna 172 1964 - Inspection Service and Periods

and test it on an obscure place on the fabric to be cleaned. Never satu-
rate the fabric with a volatile solvent; it may damage the padding and
backing materials. ·
Soiled upholstery and carpet may be cleaned with foam -type detergent,
used according to the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize wetting
the fabric, keep the foam as dry as possible and remove it with a vacuum
cleaner.
The plastic tri.m, instrument panel and control knobs need only be
wiped off with a damp cloth. Oil and grease on the control wheel and
control knobs can be removed with a cloth moistened with kerosene.
Volatile solvents, such as mentioned in paragraphs on care of the wind-
sheid, must never be used since they soften and craze the plastic.
INSPECTION SERVICE AND INSPECTION PERIODS.
With your airplane you will receive an Owner's Service Policy. Cou-
pons attached to the policy entitle you to an initial inspection and the first
100-hour inspection at no charge. If you take delivery from your Dealer,
he will perform the initial inspection before delivery of the airplane to
you. If you pick up the airplane at the factory, plan to take it to your
Dealer reasonably soon after you take delivery on it. This will permit
him to check it over and to make any minor adjustments that may appear
necessary. Also, plan an inspection by your Dealer at 100 hours or 90
days, whichever comes first. This inspection also is performed by your
Dealer for you at no charge. While these important inspections will be
performed for you by any Cessna Dealer, in most cases you will prefer
to have the Dealer from whom you purchased the airplane accomplish
this work.
Civil Air Regulations require that all airplanes have a periodic
(annual) inspection as prescribed by the administrator, and performed
by a person designated by the administrator. In addition, 100-hour
periodic inspections made by an "appropriately-rated mechanic" are
required if the airplane is fl.own for hire. The Cessna Aircraft Company
recommends the 100-hour periodic inspection for your airplane. The
procedure for this 100-hour inspection has been carefully worked out by
the factory and is followed by the Cessna Dealer Organization. The com -
plete familiarity of the Cessna Dealer Organization with Cessna equip-
ment and with factory-approved procedures provides the highest type of
service possible at lower cost.
