Care of the Airplane
INTERIOR CARE.
To remove dust and loose dirt from
the upholstery and carpet, clean the
interior regularly with a vacuum
cleaner.
Blot up any spilled liquid promptly,
with cleansing tissue or rags. Don't
pat the spot - press the blotting mat-
erial firmly and hold it for several
seconds. Continue blotting until no
more liquid is taken up. Scrape off
sticky materials with a dull knife,
then spot-clean the area.
Oily spots may be cleaned with
household spot removers, used spar-
ingly. Before using any sol vent read
the instructions on the container and
test it on an obscure place in the
fabric to be cleaned. Never saturate
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 dryas
possible and remove it with a vacuum
cleaner.
The plastiC trim, headliner, in-
strument panel and control knobs
need only be wiped off with a damp
cloth. Never use a volatile solvent
on plastic.
INSPECTION SE RV ICE AND
INSPECTION PERIODS.
With your airplane you will re-
ceive an Owner's Service Policy.
Coupons attached to the policy en-
title 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 purchase the
airplane accomplish this work.
Civil Air Regulations require that
all airplanes have a periodic (annual)
inspection as prescribed by the ad-
ministrator, and performed by a
person deSignated by the adminis-
trator. In addition, 100-hour peri-
odic inspections made by an "ap-
propriately-rated mechanic" are re-
quired if the airplane is flown for
hire. The Cessna Aircraft Company
recommends the IOO-hour periodic
inspection for your airplane . The
procedure for this 100-hour inspec-
tion has been carefully Worked out by
the factory and is followed by the
Cessna Dealer Organization. The
complete familiarity of the Cessna
Dealer Organization with Cessna
equipment and with factory-approved
procedures provides the highest type
of
service possible at lower cost.
Time studies of the IOO-hour in-
spection at the factory and in the
field have developed a standard flat-
I · il.tl~ charge for this inspection at any
'~' o 5na Dealer. Points which the
III spcction reveals require modifica-
I IOn or repairs will be brought to the
owner's attention by the Dealer, and
quotations or charges will be made
ac:cordingly. The inspection charge
tines not include the oil required for
the oil change.
Every effort is made to attract the
be st mechaniCS in each community
In Cessna service facilities. Many
Dealers' mechanics have attended
Cessna Aircraft Company schools
and have received specialized in-
structions in maintenance and care
of Cessna airplanes. Cessna service
instruction activity in the form of
service bulletins and letters is con-
stantly being carried on so that when
you have
your Cessna inspected and
serviced by Cessna Dealers' mecha-
nics, the work will be complete and
done in accordance with the latest
approved method.
Cessna Dealers carry a full com-
plement of Cessna service parts and
have complete repair and service
facilities, including such specialized
jigs and tools as may be necessary.
Your Cessna Dealer will be glad
to give you current price quotations
on all parts that you might need and
advise you on the
practicality of parts

be necessary from time to time.
