PROPELLER CARE
Preflight inspection of propeller blades for nicks and wiping them
occasionally with an oily cloth to clean off grass and bug stains will assure
long blade life. Small nicks on the propeller, particularly near the tips and on
the leading edges, should be dressed out as soon as possible since these
nicks produce stress concentrations, and if ignored, may result in cracks.
Never use an alkaline cleaner on the blades ; remove grease and dirt.
ENGINE CARE
Refer to Maintenance Manual for the procedures to follow.
INTERIOR CARE
To remove dust and loose dirt from the upholstery and carpet, clean the
interior regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
For additional information, refer to Maintenance Manual.
FRONT ASH–TRAY
To empty front ash–tray, remove it while holding it on its edges (if necessary,
lift it up with a screwdriver wrapped up in a cloth).
REAR ASH–TRAYS
To empty a rear ash–tray, open it tilting its movable part to its stop, then push
moderately on central part to disengage the ash–box.
To install again the ash–box, insert upper part then push on lower part.
