GDU 1040 Display Screens
-- CAUTION --
The GDU 1040 display screens use a lens coated
with a special anti--reflective coating that is very
sensitive to skin oils, waxes and abrasive clean-
ers. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL
HARM THE ANTIREFLECTIVE COATING. It is very
important to clean the lens using a clean, lint--
free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is
specified as safe for anti--reflective coatings.
NOTE:
Refer to M20TN Illustrated Parts Catalog, Section
11--10--00, for material, leather, and carpet part
number and vendor information.
Normal household cleaning practices are recom-
mended for routine care. Frequently vacuum clean
seats, carpets, fabric, side panels and headliner to re-
move as much surface dirt and dust as possible.
Interior surfaces of the aircraft may be cleaned more
extensively using the following procedures. Avoid the
use of harsh cleaners that contain abrasives.
-- WARNING --
Before using a cleaning material, obtain the haz-
ard code and incorporate necessary protection.
1. Leather coverings for seats, seat headrests, seat
armrests and carpet binding may be cleaned with com-
mercially available leather cleaning products. Follow
the instructions on the product label, or:
A. Leather Care Instructions:
(1) Gently dust surface area regularly with a dry,
soft cloth. Due to the natural characteristics of leather,
scratches and marks may appear on the surface over
time. This appearance is the “character” of natural
leather.
(2) Use a clean, slightly damp cloth with clear
lukewarm water to clean the entire area. For example,
the entire seat cushion or arm rest. Start at the outside
of the spill and work your way towards the center.
Never Use: Saddle soaps, oils, abrasives, furniture pol-
ish, varnish or ammonia.
2. Neather Leather material is applied to interior
items including, glareshield, interior side panels, low-
er door panel, upper interior panels and headliner.
Interior Neather Leather is applied over fiberglass
formed panels. A brushable, heat--resistant adhesive
(3M 1300, St. Claire 4587 or Scotch Grip 1357)
bonds the material to the fiberglass sub--surface.
-- CAUTION --
Fiberglass components are attacked and deterio-
rated by the following products: Ketone, aliphatic
esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and slightly
softened by aromatic hydrocarbons.
A. Neather Leather Cleaning Instructions:
Always pre--test cleaners, detergents and solvents in
an inconspicuous area for colorfastness.
(1) Spot clean with mild soap and water. For
stubborn stains, use mild solvent such as Fantas-
tik

(2) Air dry or dry quickly with warm setting of a
hair dryer.
3. Acoustone speaker grille cloth is applied over
the speaker panel located in the headliner assembly.
A. Cleaning Instructions:

damage to audio speakers mounted behind
