1. GENERAL

A. Parking
The brakes can be set for parking by depressing the pilot's brake pedals and pulling out the parking
brake control. Do not attempt to lock the parking brake by applying force to the parking brake handle; it
controls a valve only, and cannot apply pressure to the brake system. To release the brakes, depress
the brake pedals and push the parking brake control in.
NOTE: Do not set the parking brakes during low temperatures when an accumulation of moisture may
cause the brakes to freeze, or when they are hot from severe use.

B. Control Locks
The control lock consists of a U-shaped clamp and three pins connected by a chain. The pins lock the
primary flight controls and the U-shaped clamp fits around the engine power control levers and serves
to warn the pilot not to start the engines with the control locks installed. It is important that the locks be
installed or removed together due to the possibility of an attempt to taxi or fly the airplane with the power
levers released and the pins still installed in the flight controls.

1. CONTROL LOCKS

A. Installation
The control lock consists of a U-shaped clamp and three pins connected by a chain. The pins lock the
primary flight controls and the U-shaped clamp fits around the engine power control levers and serves
to warn the pilot not to start the engines with the control locks installed. It is important that the locks be
installed or removed together due to the possibility of an attempt to taxi or fly the airplane with the power
levers released and the pins still installed in the flight controls. Install the control locks in the following
sequence:

(1) Position the U-clamp around the engine power controls.

(2) Insert the small pin in the elevator-aileron pilot's control from the upper side of the pilot's control
column.

NOTE: On airplane serials U-165 and after, and airplanes U-1 thru U-164 that have incorporated
Service Instructions No 0887-155, the control wheel must be fully forward and rotated to
the left 15 degrees before the control pin can be inserted.

(3) Insert the largest pin in the pilot's right rudder pedal by pushing forward on the left rudder pedal
and inserting the pin into the hole, located on the inside of the pilot's right rudder pedal

(4) Neutralize the rudder pedals and slide the pin into the hole in the left rudder pedal.

B. Removal
(1) Remove the pins from the pilot's left and right rudder pedals.

(2) Remove the elevator-aileron pin from the upper side of the pilot's control column.

(3) Remove the U-shaped clamp from the engine power controls.

NOTE: The control locks should be removed before towing, as serious damage could result in the
steering linkage if towed by a tug with the rudder locks installed.

1. GENERAL

A. Engine
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should preservative oil be sprayed into the compressor or turbine
end of the engine. Dirt particles deposited on the blades and vanes during engine operation
will alter the airfoil shape and will adversely affect compressor efficiency.

(1) 0 to 7 Days - The engines may be left in an inactive state, with no preservation protection
requirements, provided: the engine is sheltered; the humidity is not excessively high; the engine is
not subject to extreme temperature changes, which would produce condensation.

CAUTION: The propeller must be restrained to prevent windmilling (Ref. PROTECTIVE

COVERS, 10-20-00).

(2) 8 to 28 Days - Engines that are inactive up to 28 days require no preservation provided all engine
openings are sealed off and the relative humidity in the engine is maintained at less than 40%.
Humidity control is maintained by placing desiccant bags (98, Table 6, 91-00-00) in the engine
exhaust duct.

NOTE: Ensure that the desiccant bags are kept off of all engine parts by placing the bags on
racks. Provide suitable windows in the exhaust closures for observation of the humidity
indicators.

(3) 29 to 90 Days - Engines inactive for a period exceeding 28 days, but less than 90 days, need only
have the fuel system preserved as noted in the following paragraphs.

CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken to prevent foreign material from being drawn into the
engine fuel system. Equipment must be fitted with suitable filters, or strainers. no
coarser than 10-micron ratings.

(a) Close the normal fuel supply shutoff valve. Disconnect the fuel inlet line to the fuel pump or to
the oil- to-fuel heater and connect a suitable oil supply line to the fuel pump or the oil-to-fuel
heater. Supply lubricating oil (1, Table 6, 91-00-00) at a pressure of 5 to 25 psi and a
temperature of at least 16°C (60°F).

CAUTION: Under no circumstances permit preservative oil to enter engine where it may
come in contact with the thermocouple probe assembly. Oil contamination of
harness may cause complete failure of the thermocouple system.

(b) To prevent lubricating oil from entering the fuel manifold, disconnect No. 1 and No. 2
manifolds and bypass and dump lines at the starting flow control. Cap off No. 1 manifold and
the bypass and dump outlets. Allow No. 2 manifold to drain into a suitable container.

CAUTION: Do not exceed the starter motor operating time of 40 seconds ON, 60 seconds
OFF, 40 seconds ON, 60 seconds OFF, 40 seconds ON, then 30 minutes OFF.

(c) With the ignition system OFF, the power lever at TAKEOFF position and the condition lever
at HlGH IDLE, motor the engine while moving the condition lever from HIGH IDLE to
CUTOFF and back to HlGH IDLE.

(d) After motoring the engine, check to see if oil is draining from the No. 2 manifold outlet If
required, repeat the motoring cycle until oil drains from the outlet.

(e) Following the motoring cycle, return the power lever to IDLE and the CONDITION LEVER to
CUTOFF. Reconnect all lines to the starting fuel control and reconnect the fuel supply line to
the oil-to-fuel heater.

(f) Ensure that all shipping plugs, caps and covers are installed, that the engine intake and
exhaust openings are covered, and that desiccant and humidity indicators are installed.

(4) 91 Days and Over - Engines inactive over 90 days, or removed for long term storage must, in
addition to the 29 to 90 day procedures, have the engine oil drained and have unused accessory
drive-ends sprayed as noted in the following sub-paragraphs:

CAUTION: Do not exceed the starter motor operating time of 40 seconds ON, 60 seconds OFF,
40 seconds ON, 60 seconds OFF, 40 seconds ON, then 30 minutes OFF.

(a) Close the fuel shutoff valve and motor the engine until oil pressure and compressor speed
(N1) are indicated.

(b) Remove the drain plugs from the tank, accessory gearbox and propeller reduction gearbox.

(c) With the drains open, motor the engine to permit scavenger pumps to clear the engine as
indicated by the cessation of a steady stream of oil from the drains. To prevent excessive
operation with limited lubrication, limit rotation to the shortest possible time to accomplish the
complete draining.

(d) Remove the oil filter element and allow it to drain to a slow drip (approximately one-half
hour), then reinstall the filter and close the drains.

(e) Install plugs, caps and covers over all openings to prevent entry of foreign materials and
accumulation of moisture.

NOTE: If the engine is to remain in the airplane, place desiccant bags in the exhaust and
inlet ducts.

(f) Tag the oil filler cap with the date of preservation.

(g) Install humidity indicators in the air inlet end and exhaust end of the engine compartment.
Cover with suitable airtight moisture barrier and provide inspection windows at each end for
observation of the humidity indicators.

NOTE: Inspection of a preserved unit should be performed every two weeks if the airplane
is stored outside, or every 30 days if the airplane is stored inside. If the relative
humidity indicator is less then 40%, no further action is required. If humidity
indicated is in excess of 40%, the desiccant bags must be replaced with freshly
activated bags.

B. Airplane
(1) Disconnect and remove the nickel-cadmium battery, then place in a suitable storage area.

CAUTION: It is imperative that the storage areas of nickel- cadmium batteries be separated (in
different buildings if possible) from lead acid batteries so that no contamination, even
from fumes, is possible.
Clean the battery compartment, quick disconnect plug, cables, and vent hoses with a solution of 5
ounces of boric acid dissolved in one gallon of water, then rinse with dean water and allow to dry.
Seal the battery vent tubes and cover the quick disconnect plug with barrier material.

(2) Fuel Cells - If the airplane is to be in storage 90 days or less, the fuel cells need only to be filled to
capacity to minimize fuel vapor and protect the cell inner liners. Over 90 days, drain the cells, then
flush, spray or rub a thin coating of light engine oil (99, Table 6, 91-00-00) on the inner liners of all
fuel cells.

(3) Propellers - Remove dirt, oil, and bug accumulation from propellers with water and a soft brush.
Clean the propellers with solvent (38, Table 6, 91-00-00), then coat the blades with corrosion
preventive compound (88, Table 6, 91-00-00). Wrap the propeller blades with barrier material and
secure with tape. Touch up the propeller spinners with paint if necessary, then secure the blades
to prevent rotation.

(4) Avionics - Clean and cover any equipment sensitive to dust or moisture and take any additional
precautions recommended by the manufacturer of such equipment.

(5) Instruments - If the airplane is to be in storage for more than 90 days, cover the instrument panel
with barrier material and secure with tape.

(6) Seats - Clean and install protective covers.

(7) Stall Warning Unit - If the airplane is to be in storage for 90 days or more, remove the stall
warning unit, then tape connections, and store in a room of low humidity.

(8) Landing, Strobe, and Taxi Lights - For 90 days or longer, cover with barrier material and tape.

(9) Flight Control Surfaces - Up to 90 days, lock with internal locks. Over 90 days, lubricate all hinge
pins, bearings, bell cranks, chains, control rods, and quadrants in accordance with the Lubrication
Schedule, (Figure 203, 12-20-00), and coat lightly with corrosion preventative compound
(88, Table 6, 91-00-00). Lock with internal locks.

(10) Wing Flap Tracks and Rollers - If over 90 days, coat the flap tracks and rollers with corrosion
preventative compound (88, Table 6, 91-00-00). Place flaps in retracted position.

(11) Landing Gear - Clean the brakes and apply a coating of primer (100, Table 6, 91-00-00) to the
brake discs. Touch up all spots where paint has been chipped from the wheels. After mooring,
cover or wrap the wheels with barrier material and secure with tape. Check air pressure
periodically and inflate tires as necessary. It is recommended that unserviceable tires be used for
prolonged storage. Coat the exposed surfaces of the shock strut pistons and nose gear shimmy
dampener piston with preservative hydraulic fluid (101, Table 6, 91-00-00) and protect with barrier
material. Fabricate hardwood collars for the strut pistons to prevent bottoming the struts when
deflated. Install the collars over the barrier material. Slowly deflate struts until they rest on the
wooden collars.

CAUTION: Do not apply corrosion preventative to the exposed surfaces of the landing gear strut
piston or to the extended polished surfaces of the hydraulic cylinders.

(12) Hydraulic System - Fill the hydraulic reservoir to operational level and inspect the system for
leaks, then repair as necessary prior to storage.

(13) Loose Tools and Equipment - Remove and store in a room of low humidity for storage over 90
days.

(14) Airframe - If over 90 days, install covers over pitot head and cover static ports with barrier material
secured with tape. Clean all exposed antennas and connections. Remove windshield wipers and
blades, then wrap, tag, and store in cockpit. Cover windows and windshield with either: (1)
strippable coating, (2) alkali removable coating, or (3) barrier material secured with tape.

(15) Mooring - If the airplane cannot be placed in a hanger, tie it down securely using the three points
provided. Do not use hemp or manila rope. It is recommended that a tail support be used to
compress the nose strut and reduce the angle of attack of the wings. Attach a line to the nose
gear.

(16) Grounding - Static ground the airplane securely and effectively.

C. Removal from Storage

(1) Remove all covers, tape, control locks, tie downs and tags from the airplane.

(2) Fill the oil tank to operating level with specified oil (1, Table 6, 91-00-00).

(3) Provide a source of specified fuel, as outlined in Chapter 12, and connect to the fuel inlet port on
the fuel control assembly.

(4) Disconnect the fuel line between the fuel control assembly and fuel shutoff valve. Connect a line to
the fuel control assembly to drain overboard.
