CLEANING AND CARE (Continued)
PROPELLER CARE
Preflight inspection of propeller blades for nicks, and wiping them
occasionally with an oily cloth to clean off grass and bug stains will
assure long blade life. Small nicks on the propeller, particularly near the
tips and on the leading edges, should be dressed out as soon as
possible since these nicks produce stress concentrations, and if
ignored, may result in cracks or failure of the propeller blade. Never use
an alkaline cleaner on the blades; remove grease and dirt with
Stoddard solvent.
PROPELLER HEAT BOOT
The propeller heat boots have a special electrically conductive coating
to bleed off static charges which cause radio interference and may
perforate the boots. Servicing operations should be done carefully to
avoid damaging this conductive coating or tearing the boots.
To prolong the life of propeller heat boots, they should be washed and
serviced on a regular basis. Keep the boots clean and free from oil,
grease and other solvents which cause rubber to swell and deteriorate.
Outlined below are recommended cleaning and servicing procedures.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS WHEN
CLEANING BOOTS. DISREGARD INSTRUCTIONS
WHICH RECOMMEND PETROLEUM BASE LIQUIDS
(MEK, NON-LEADED GASOLINE, ETC.) WHICH CAN
HARM THE BOOT MATERIAL.
1. Clean boots with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
Isopropyl alcohol can be used to remove grime which
cannot be removed using soap. If isopropyl alcohol is used
for cleaning, wash area with mild soap and water, then rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
