MANUAL
STORAGE
The
storage
procedures
are
intended
to
protect
the
airplane
from
deterioration
while the
airplane
is
not
in
use.
The
primary
objective
of these
measures are
to
prevent
corrosion
and
damage
from
exposure
to
the
elements.
Refer
to
I
Teledyne
Continental
Motors
S1199-1
for information
on
engine preservation
for
active
and
stored
airplanes.
The
three
types
of
storage
are:
a.
Flyable
storage
7
to
30
days.
b.
Temporary
storage
31
to
90
days.
c.
Indefinite
storage
91
days
and after.
FLYABLE STORAGE
7
TO
30
DAYS
Mooring
a.
Place
the
airplane
in
a
hangar.
b.
If
the
airplane
cannot
be
placed
in
a
hangar,
tie it down
securely
at
the three tie-down
points
provided
on
the
airplane.
Do
not
use
hemp
or
manila
rope.
It is
recommended that
a
tail
support
be
used
to
compress
the
nose
strut
which will
reduce the
wing angle
of
attack.
Attach
a
line
to
the
nose
gear.
Engine
I
a.
Operate
the
engine
until
the oil
temperature
reaches the normal
range.
Drain
the oil
supply
from
the
sump
as
completely
as
possible
and
replace
the drain
plug.
b.
Fill
the
sump
to
the
full
mark
on
the oil
dipstick
with
corrosion
preventive
compound
(3,
Chart
3).
This
will
mix
1
with normal
oil,
is suitable
as
a
lubricant
and will
provide
protection
against
corrosion.
c.
Run
the
engine
at
least
5
minutes
at
a
speed
between
1,200
and
1,500
rpm
with the
oil
temperature
and
cylinder
head
temperature
in the normal
operating
range.
WARNING: Before
rotating
the
propeller
blades,
make certain
the
magneto/start
switches
are
OFF,
throtHss
are
in the
CLOSED
position,
and the
mixture controls
are,
in the
IDLE
CUT-OFF
position.
Always
stand clear while
turning
the
propeller.
d.
Each
seven
days during flyable
storage,
the
propeller
shall be rotated
by
hand without
running
the
engine.
After
1
rotating
the
engine
six
revolutions,
stop
the
propeller
120"
from
its
previous
position.
e.
If
at
the
end
of
30
days
the
airplane
will
not
be
removed from
storage,
the
engine
shall
be
started
and
ran.
The
preferred
method
will be
to
fly
the
airplane
for
30 minutes. If
flying
the
airplane
is
impractical,
a
ground
run
shall
be
made
of
30 minutes
duration,
and
up
to,
but
not
exceeding
normal oil
temperatures.
Fuel
Cells
a.
Fill
the fuel cells
to
capacity
to
minimize
fuel
vapor.
Flight
Control Surfaces
a.
Lock the
flight
control surfaces
with internal locks.
