FLYABTE
STORAGE
Flyable
storage
applies to
all aircra-ft
which will
not
be
flown
for
an
indefinite perid
but
which are
to be
kept
ready to
fly
with
the least
pos-
sible
preparation-
If
the aircraft
is
to be
stored
temporarlly,
or
indefi-
nitely,
refer
to
the
Service
Manual
for
proper
storage
procedures.
Aircraft
which are
not
in
daily flight should
have the
propelters
rotatec
by hand, five
revolutions
at
lea-st
once each
week.
In
damp
climates and
in
storage
areas
where
the
daily
temperature
variation
can cause
conden-
sation, propeller
rotation
should
be accomplished
more
frequenily.
Ro-
tating
the
propeller
an
odd
number
of
revolutions,
redistributes
residual
oil
on the
cylinder
walls, crankshaft
and
gear
surfaces
ard repositions
the
pistons
in the
cylinders, thus
preventing
corrosion.
Rotate
propel-
Iers as
follows:
(1)
Throttles
-
IDLE.
(2)
Mixtures
-
IDLE
CII:I-OFF.
(3)
Magneto
Switches
- OFF.
(4)
Propellers
-
ROTATE
CLOCKWISE. Manually
rotate
propellers
five
revolutions,
standing
clear
of
arc
of
propeller
blades.
Keep fuel
tant<s
h11 to minimize
condensation
in the
fuet
tanks.
Main-
tain battery
at
full
charge
to
prevent
electrolyte

weather.
rf the
aircraJt
is
stored
outside,

tion
of
