24. Replacing and servicing batteries.
When replacing your airplane’s battery, use only an approved battery for your make and model airplane. You are also
permitted to add water (distilled water) and charge your battery. If you need to clean the battery, terminals, or battery box
area, baking soda works about the best. Flush with fresh water when you’re completed. Don’t allow any baking soda to
enter the battery.
Emergency Locator Transmitter battery replacement is also permitted, provided you are able to follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Don’t forget that the new expiration date for replacing (or recharging) the battery must be legibly
marked on the outside of the transmitter and entered in the aircraft maintenance record.
25. Cleaning of balloon burner pilot and main nozzles in accordance with the balloon manufacturer’s instructions.
Comply with manufacturer’s recommendations.

You are permitted to remove and replace non-structural standard fasteners, which also includes the removal and
replacement of screws or rivets used to attach fasteners.
Remember that you must use the approved fasteners, screws, and rivets for your airplane.
If you are one of those mechanically gifted people, have at it ‘ drive those rivets. But if you like to put a square peg in a
round hole, this may be a complex task for you. Leave it to the professionals.
