HANDLING,
SERVICE
&
MAINTENANCE
When
the
airplane
is
parked
outside
in
cold
climates
and it is
necessary
to
remove
ice
before
flight,
care
should be
taken
to
protect
the
painted
surfaces
during
ice
removal
with
chemical
liquids.
Isopropyl
alcohol
will
satisfactorily
remove
ice
accumulations
without
damaging
the
paint.
However,
keep
the
isopropyl
alcohol
away
from
the windshield and
cabin windows
since it
will
attack the
plastic
and
may
cause
it
to
craze.
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.
The
engine
may
be
cleaned,
using
a
suitable
solvent,
in
accordance
with
instructions
in
the
airplane
Maintenance
Manual.
Most
efficient
cleaning
is
done
using
a
spray
type
cleaner.
Before
spray
cleaning,
ensure
that
protection
is
afforded
for
components
which
might
be
adversely
affected
by
the
solvent.
Refer
to
the
Maintenance Manual
for
proper
lubrication
of
controls
and|
components
after
engine
cleaning.
The
induction air
filter
should
be
replaced
when
its condition
warrants,
not
to
exceed
500
hours.
