any

intervention

of

either

malicious

persons

or

of

curious

and

keys

from

the

control

panel

switch

OFF

all

the

breakers

of

the

flight

services;

5.

Remove

all

the

removable

instruments

from

the

instrument

panel,

including

satellite

navigators,

two

‐

way

radios,

etc;

6.

Protect

the

gyroplane

(at

least

the

cockpit

and

engine)

from

dust

and

humidity

with

the

special

ventile

cover

supplied

by

Magni

Gyro.

WARNING:

Do

not

put

the

cover

on

the

gyroplane

when

the

engine

is

still

hot,

as

this

could

damage

the

engine

cover

and

cause

burning

and

scorching.

WARNING:

Any

rest

outside

should

only

be

occasional.

Proceed

as

follows:

1.

Avoid

letting

the

gyroplane

under

the

sun

for

lengthy

periods.

2.

If

the

gyroplane

is

exposed

to

the

sun,

cover

the

instrument

panel

with

a

refracting

cover.

3.

In

case

of

rain

or

of

an

overnight

rest,

cover

the

cockpit,

engine

and

rotor

head

with

the

special

ventile

covers

supplied

by
