HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
INTERIOR CARE
To remove du st and loose di rt from the upholstery, head1i ner and ca r-
pet, 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 material finnly and hold it for
several seconds. Continue blotting until no more 1 iquid 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 sparingly.
Before using any sol vent, read the instructions on the container and test
it on an obscure place on the fabric to be cleaned. Never saturate the
fabric with a volatile solvent; it may damage the padding and backing
material s.
WARNING
.Use all cleaning agents in accordance with the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
•
The use of toxic or inflammable cleaning agents is
discouraged. If these cleaning agents are used,
i
nsu re adequa te vent il a ti on is provi ded to prevent
harm to the user and/or damage to the airplane.
Soiled uphol stery 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, instrument panel and control knobs need only be wiped
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 windshield, must never be
used since they soften and craze the plastic.
WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELDS
The plastic windshields and windows should be kept clean and waxed at
all times. To prevent scratches and crazing, wash them carefully with
plenty of soap and water, using the palm of the hand to feel and di slodge
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. Wiping with
a moist chamois
will remove both the dust and this charge.
If the optional electrical windshield is installed, it is recommended
that a suitable anti-static agent be applied to the window after each
cleaning. A recommended anti-static agent for this purpose is ANSTAC-M
(Chemical Development Corp), or Wilco Anti-Static Cleaner (Wilco Co.), or
equivalent. Apply the anti-static agent per the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
