ENGINE CARE
Engine Compartment Cleaning
The engine compartment may be cleaned using a suitable solvent. The
most efcient cleaning is accomplished by using a spray-type cleaner.
Prior to performing a spray cleaning, ensure that protection is provided for
components which might be adversely affected by the solvent. Refer to the
KODIAK 100 Airplane Maintenance Manual for proper lubrication of controls
and components after engine cleaning.
Engine Compressor Wash
Instituting a regular compressor wash program will result in an increase in
performance and service life of the hot section components. A compressor
wash ring is installed on the top of the engine adjacent to the air inlet screen
to facilitate regular washing of the compressor section.
Compressor washes may be performed by motoring the engine with the
starter. Depending on the nature of the operating environment and the type of
deposits in the engine gas path, different compressor wash methods may be
used to remove salt, dirt, or other baked-on deposits which accumulate over a

solvent free, non-abrasive, anti-static acrylic cleaner. Do not use gasoline,
alcohol, benzene carbon tetrachloride, thinners, acetone, or glass window
cleaning sprays.

clean acrylic or polycarbonate windows. Newspaper-type products, and
some paper towels, are highly abrasive and will cause ne scratches.

3. To prevent scratches caused by dirt accumulation on the cloth, fold the
cloth to expose a clean area after each pass.
4. Using a moist cloth or chamois, gently wipe the windows clean of all
contaminates.
5. Apply acrylic cleaner to one area at a time, then wipe away with a soft,
cotton cloth.
