Cleaning
Care and regular cleaning of engine, propeller, rotor system and fuselage is the basic foundation for
airworthiness and reliability. Therefore, the gyroplane should be cleaned after every last flight of the
day or more often, if environmental conditions dictate.
In order to protect the gyroplane against dirt, dust, bird soil, and sunlight, the aircraft should be
covered with a light plastic tarpaulin or cloth. Openings of the engine and airspeed indicator should be
closed after the flight (insects, birds etc.).
Contamination can be cleaned with clean water, possibly with mild cleaning additives. To clean the
rotor it is best to soak contamination with a cloth or towel, wipe with soft or micro-fibre cloth, and rinse
thoroughly with water.

Lubrication: Teeter hinge
The teeter hinge consists of a steel bolt running in special Teflon coated bushings. In order to provide
proper bearing action and to avoid wear and bearing play, which will cause rotor vibration in
consequence, regular lubrication is essential. In order to do so, the best practise is to perform work
steps 5 to 7 from Job Card 62-11-00 6-1 INSPECTION: ROTOR
– TEETERING PARTS. Make sure to
apply grease also on the outer (secondary) bearings inside the teeter tower.
Lubrication: Pre-rotator drive coupling sleeve
Apply a thin layer of lubricant AG-LUB-03 on coupling sleeve when in extended position in regular
intervals, at latest when the sliding surface feels dry or after flight through rain.
Lubrication: Pre-rotator belt and pulleys
Spray clutch belt and pulleys with AG-LUB-04 (Silicone Spray) regularly, at latest when the clutch
begins to judder!

Servicing: Engine Air Filter
The air intake filters need to be replaced or cleaned according to the manufacturer‘s recommendation.
Depending on environmental conditions, such as dust, sand, or pollution the recommended rate of
maintenance should be increased as required.
