Before Engine Start
It is recommended that deicing / anti-icing is done with the engines shutdown to minimize
deicing fluid ingestion into the engines and bleed air ducting.

Deicing Equipment
CAUTION
Be careful when you remove contamination manually. This can damage the aircraft
surface or components.
CAUTION
The aircraft must sprayed from the front. Spraying from the rear can force fluid into
aerodynamically quiet areas from where it may not be able to drain.
