manufacturer’s instructions.
Interior plastic parts should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Oil and
grease can be removed with cloth dampened slightly with kerosene.
Volatile solvents such as those cautioned against for the windshield are
to be avoided here as well.
EXTERIOR PAINTED SURFACES
CAUTION
Avoid the use of high pressure cleaning systems
and solvents. They can damage parts such as
propeller hubs, pitot probes and static ports.
Cover cooling ports to the interior and avionics.
ENGINE
Clean the engine with a neutral solvent. While the engine is warm but
not hot, spray with solvent and allow setting a few minutes. Follow
with a spray wash and allow to dry. Avoid excessively high pressures,
which can force entry of water and/or solvents under seals resulting in
contamination of the sealed system or entry through the firewall into
the cabin. Use caution and protect any electrical relays or switches
you may have installed in the engine compartment as well. Use only
solvents that do not attack rubber or plastics.
