WARNING
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE THE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE
MANUFACTURER’S HEALTH AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION
Do not let the aircraft tires stay for a long time in the soap solution. The soap
solution can cause damage to the tires.
CAUTION
Make sure that the water used to clean the aircraft is free from contamination. If the
water has contamination it can cause corrosion or damage to the external surface
of the aircraft.
CAUTION
Do not use high pressure water to clean the external surface of the aircraft. High
pressure water can cause damage to the external surface of the aircraft.
CAUTION
Make sure to flush the aircraft surfaces in the direction of the airflow, from nose to
tail. Do not point the hose at vents or openings in the aircraft structure. This will
prevent water from going into the aircraft.
CAUTION
Take care when you clean the wing leading edge. You must make sure that you do
not scratch the wing leading edge.
CAUTION
Do not clean the wing leading edge with the soft bristled brush. This can cause
damage to the wing leading edge.
CAUTION
Do not let the water go into the pitot-static probes. Water can cause a blockage in
the pitot system.
Note
In hot climates, it is recommended not to clean the aircraft during the hottest hours of the
day.
