8.6 CLEANING AND CARE
8.6.1 WINDSHEILD AND WINDOWS
The Lexan windshield and windows should be cleaned with mild soapy
water, rinsed in fresh water and wiped dry with a chamois.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent-based cleaners, spirits, fuel, glass
cleaner, acetone, alcohol, etc. on the Lexan windows. If fuel should
accidentally spill on the Lexan, flush quickly and liberally with water.
Lexan will craze and rapid cracking will occur if fuel or solvents comes
into contact with the Lexan.
8.6.2 PAINTED FABRIC AND FIBERGLASS SURFACES
Generally, all the painted surfaces can be kept bright and clean by
washing with mild soapy water, rinsing with fresh water and wiping dry
with a chamois.
For spot cleaning and removal of general stains, oil marks,
insects, etc., Windex window cleaner is an excellent cleaning
agent.
The central and aft location of the engine exhaust system results,
over a period of time, in a buildup of a brownish exhaust deposit
on the vertical fin and rudder. This deposit can be cleaned off with
Windex and cloth.
8.6.3 PROPELLER CARE
Preflight inspection should include a close examination of the propeller
blades for nicks, cracks and any other damage. Wiping the blades with
“Mr. Sheen” or a similar cleaner will remove oil, insects and stains. The
application of a light film of anti-corrosion material on the aluminum
leading edge of the blades will assist in preventing possible corrosion.
Checking for satisfactory propeller bolt tension should be included
as part of the preflight inspection.
Regular and thorough inspection of the propeller will assist in long,
trouble free service.
