5.8.4
Inspection During Storage
Generally inspect airframe and clean as necessary.
Inspect the interior of at least one cylinder through the spark plug hole for corrosion at
least once a month.
If, at the end of the 90 day period, the aircraft is to be continued in non-operational
storage -- repeat Steps 1-5 above (most will only need to be checked).
5.8.5
Indefinite Storage
For indefinite storage, treat the engine as per Temporary Storage Section above. In
Addition:
Drain fuel tank & ensure carburettor bowl is empty by running engine with fuel valve off
until it stops, or by draining the bowl manually.
Long term storage: Flood the cylinder / sump with corrosion inhibitor. Periodically
remove one spark plug per head, turn engine over then replace spark plugs.
5.8.6
Returning Engine to Service After Temporary Storage
After temporary storage, the procedures for returning the aircraft to service are as follows:
Check battery charge level and install.
Check carburettor air filter and service if necessary.
Remove warning placard from propeller.
Remove inlet & exhaust covers.
Remove, clean and gap spark plugs.
Drain all oil before rotating. While spark plugs are removed, rotate propeller several
revolutions using the starter to clear excess corrosion inhibitor from cylinders.
CAUTION
Ensure that the Master and Ignition Switches are OFF!
Install spark plugs -- torque to 11 Nm (8 ft/lbs).
Check fuel filter -- replace if necessary.
If returning to service after indefinite storage, fill fuel tank with correct grade of fuel.
Check fuel tank and fuel lines for moisture and sediment. Drain enough fuel to
eliminate any moisture and sediment.
Check fuel tank breather is clear.
