ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT
The engine should be kept clean since dirty cooling fins and baffles can cause overheating of the
engine. Also, cleaning is essential to minimise any danger of fire and provide easy inspection of
components.
CAUTION
DO NOT hose engine. Electrical components may be damaged by moisture. Ensure electrical
components are protected against moisture. Caustic cleaning solutions should not be used.
Recommended cleaning procedure is lightly spray with degreasing fluid
– after sealing coils and
starter motor. WIPE clean with brush and cloth.
5.6
PROPELLER
Wash with soap and water, rinse with clean water and dry with cloth or chamois.
CAUTION
Do not use a wax based substance as this would make it almost impossible to refurbish the prop
if need at a later stage.
5.7
WHEELS
The wheels should be washed periodically and examined for corrosion, cracks or dents in the wheel
halves or in the flanges or hubs. If defects are found, remove and repair in accordance with Section
8. Discard cracked wheel halves, flanges or hubs and install new parts.
