UNSCHEDULED SERVICING
1. General
This chapter describes how to clean the aircraft and how to remove snow and ice from the aircraft.
2. Exterior Cleaning
The outer surfaces of the DA20-C1 aircraft must be kept clean to keep the good performance
characteristics of the aircraft. The leading edges of the wings are specially important.
Protect all control surface bearings and other lubricated components before cleaning the aircraft.
Use large quantities of water to clean the aircraft. If necessary, add a mild-cleaning agent to the water.
Remove excess dirt or dead insects immediately after flight. Dried-on dirt is difficult to remove.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE CLEANING OR POLISHING AGENTS WHICH CONTAIN SILICONE.
IF THE AIRCRAFT NEEDS REPAIR, SILICONE CAN PREVENT REPAIR
MATERIALS FROM BONDING CORRECTLY.
Approximately once a year, apply a silicone-free automotive polish to the outer surface.
3. Canopy Cleaning
CAUTION: DO NOT RUB THE CANOPY WHILE IT IS DRY. DO NOT USE DIRTY CLOTHS OR
SPONGES. THE PLEXIGLASS CANOPY SCRATCHES VERY EASILY WITH EVEN
THE SMALLEST PARTICLES OF DUST.
Clean the canopy with large quantities of water. Use clean sponges and a good chamois leather which is
not used for any other purpose.
Polish dull or scratched areas using a special Plexiglas cleaner. Remove scratches with special
polishing emery cloth (e.g. Micromesh)
4. Interior Cleaning
Clean the interior with a flameproof vacuum cleaner.
5. Engine Cleaning
Use a cold cleaning agent to clean the engine.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LET THE CLEANING AGENT GET INTO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
AND ENGINE INTAKES.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LET THE CLEANING AGENT CONTAMINATE THE VACUUM PUMP AND
COMPONENTS. YOU MAY DAMAGE THE VACUUM PUMP.
CAUTION:
DO NOT START THE ENGINE UNTIL ALL OF THE CLEANING AGENT HAS
EVAPORATED.
