quality automotive or airplane wax. Do not use a wax containing silicone because silicone materials are difficult to remove.
E. Surface Deicer Boots
The surfaces of the deicer boots should be checked for indications of engine oil after servicing and at the end of each flight. Any
oil spots that are found should be removed with a nondetergent soap and water solution. Care should be taken when cleaning to
avoid scrubbing the boots because the conductive coating (A56B) must not be removed from the boot surface. The boots are
made of soft, flexible stock that can be damaged if gasoline hoses are dragged over the surface of the boots or if ladders or
platforms are rested against them.
F. Landing Gear
The landing gear (nose and main) should be washed with low pressure water and mild detergent as soon as is practical
following operation on salty or muddy runways. Using low pressure air, blow off all water before flight or storage of the airplane.
G. Placard Replacement
Ensure all placards are in place and legible whenever the airplane has been repainted or touched up after repairs. Replace any
placards that have been defaced after such repainting or repairs.
H. Plastic Windows
The plastic windows should be kept clean and waxed at all times. To prevent scratches and crazing, wash the windows carefully
with plenty of soap and running water.
CAUTION: When washing the windshield, do not use water from a bucket or pail. Sand, dirt particles or other
debris may collect in the standing water and cause scratches in the plastic.
Use the palm of the hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft cloth, chamois or sponge may be used only for the purpose of
carrying water to the surface of the window. After washing, rinse the window thoroughly with running water and dry it with a clean,
moist chamois. Do not rub the plastic window with a dry cloth, because this will cause an electrostatic charge which attracts
dust.
Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with kerosene (20, Table 2, 12-00-00), aliphatic naptha (2, Table 2, 12-00-00) or
hexane (18, Table 2, 12-00-00), then rinse the window with clear water.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, benzene, alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher or anti-ice fluid,
lacquer thinner, or glass cleaner with a base of these materials, for such materials will soften the plastic
and may cause crazing. Aliphatic naptha and similar solvents are highly flammable and extreme care
must be exercised when using these chemicals.
If it is desirable to use a commercial cleaner to clean the plastic windows, use only cleaners that are approved by Textron
Aviation Inc. There are several cleaners available commercially that state that they are approved for use on acrylic surfaces.
However, it has been discovered that some of these cleaners cause acrylic plastic to craze. Therefore, only the following
product is approved as a cleaner for acrylic plastic windows: Federal Specification P-P-560 (4, Table 2, 12-00-00). Follow the
directions on the container.
After washing plastic windows with soap and water, apply a good grade of commercial wax. The wax will fill in minor scratches
and help prevent further scratches. Apply a thin, even coat of wax and bring it to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry,
soft flannel cloth. Never use a power buffer, as the heat generated by the buffing pad may soften the plastic.
If the windows were cleaned with one of the commercial cleaners mentioned previously, it will not be necessary to apply wax.
Each of these cleaners contains wax, as well as cleaning agents.
I. Windshields
Glass windshields with antistatic coating should be cleaned as follows:
(1) Wash excessive dirt and other substances from the glass with clean water.
(2) Clean the windshield with mild soap and water or with a 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol (1, Table 2, 12-00-00) and
water. Wipe the glass surface in a straight rubbing motion with a soft cloth or sponge. Never use any abrasive materials or
any strong acids or bases to clean the glass.
(3) Rinse the glass thoroughly and dry, but do not apply wax.
NOTE:It is essential that the windshield wipers be thoroughly cleaned. Operating the wipers when they
are dirty is a common source of scratches on the windshield. Do not attempt to polish out such
nicks or scratches in the glass surface.
4. Cleaning Airplane Interiors
The seats, rug, upholstery panels and headlining should be vacuum-cleaned frequently to remove as much surface dust as possible.
Experience has shown that commercial, foam-type cleaners or shampoos can be used to condition the surfaces of rugs, carpets and
upholstered materials. The upholstery should be vacuum-cleaned, and the stains should be removed. A solution of the cleaner can be
prepared by mixing a small amount in a bucket of water and beating the solution until a heavy foam forms.
Apply the foam uniformly with a brush over the surface to be cleaned, then remove the suds with a vacuum cleaner or by wiping the
surface with a brush or cloth. Because there is very little moisture in this foam, wetting of the fabric or retention of moisture in the warp
does not occur. Unlacquered metal fittings and furnishings within the airplanes can be cleaned using most commercial metal
polishes. Use a soft, clean rag for application; then polish to a brilliant gloss with a dry cloth. Protect the finish with a good grade of
wax.
A. Upholstery
The most effective method of cleaning upholstery is directly dependent on the type of upholstery involved. For instance, a fabric
type of upholstery that has been flame-proofed should never be treated by the application of cleaners with a water base. The
reason for this is that the flame retardant on the fabric is water soluble and will be diluted to a point where the fire-resistant
quality is rendered useless. Also, the natural capillary action of the water in the fabric will cause the salts of the flame-retardant
chemicals to rise to the surface resulting in unsightly faded spots.
NOTE: Clean wool and wool blended upholstery fabrics by dry cleaning ONLY. After 5 dry cleanings, have the
upholstery treated with a fire retardant at a service company or spray the fabric with a fire retardant (6,
Table 2, 12-00-00) or equivalent.
Clean the fabric upholstery manually as follows:
(1) Remove the upholstery from the airplane.
(2) Use a stiff-bristled brush and brush the upholstery along the weave. (A nylon-bristled fingernail brush can be used).
(3) Vacuum the entire surface to remove any salt residue or dirt stains.
(4) Apply dry cleaning solvent (35, Table 2, 12-00-00) sparingly on a lint-free cloth and clean stains as required.
(5) Allow the upholstery to completely dry.
(6) Treat the upholstery with a fire retardant (6, Table 2, 12-00-00).
(7) Install the upholstery.
Clean leather upholstery with a nonabrasive, chemically neutral, nonreactive, emulsion-type cleaner such as saddle soap.
Apply it over the dirty surface using a sponge or soft cloth (use a gentle, wiping motion; do not scrub). Do not allow the
cleaner to dry on the material surface. Wipe the cleaner off before it drys. Treat leather after cleaning with wax or a leather
conditioner.
B. Interior Cabin Trim
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the plastic interior trim, never use MPK, naptha, mufti, stoddard solvent, gasoline,
lacquer thinner, or other types of paint cleaners as cleaning agents.
Using soap and water, wash the plastic interior trim. Scrubbing with a brush and detergent soap will usually provide adequate
cleansing; however, alcohol may be used to remove contaminants that are soluble in alcohol.
5. Lubrication
A. Sealed Bearings
Sealed bearings are prepacked with grease and do not require periodic lubrication. Sealed bearings must be replaced when
normal airplane inspection procedures indicate that the bearing will no longer operate satisfactorily. The lubrication of sealed
bearings must not be attempted unless facilities are available for removing and replacing seals. When sealed bearings are
cleaned and lubricated, the work must be done in strict compliance with applicable bearing maintenance directives.
B. Wheel Bearing Lubrication
CAUTION: Improper axle nut installation, mixing of lubricants, contamination or washout of grease in wheel
bearings will damage bearings and may result in loss of the wheel.
DO NOT MIX lubricants of different types or manufacturers. If the lubricant is changed or unknown,
make certain that all the affected components are thoroughly cleaned before lubrication.
Wheel bearing grease lubrication intervals vary significantly depending upon the operation of the individual airplane. Grease
change intervals at tire change is acceptable if the service history has been satisfactory. If the service history is unknown or if
the history dictates shorter intervals, Operators should change grease at 200 hour intervals or at tire change (which ever comes
first) unless a longer interval can be shown to be acceptable.
Exercise care when washing area. Contamination or washout of grease in the wheel bearing will damage the bearing and may
result in loss of the wheel.
When performing wheel bearing lubrication, inspect bearings, hub caps, and seals for condition. Replace any questionable
parts. Perform the MAIN LANDING GEAR WHEEL INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. Chapter 32-40-01) or the NOSE LANDING
GEAR WHEEL INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. Chapter 32-40-00). Ensure the axle nuts are properly torqued and safetied.
C. Spline Drives
The 1900D engines have wet spline lubrication and lubrication of the splines is not required when installing an accessory. The
air conditioning compressor end of the quill shaft requires lubrication. Refer to Chapter 21-52-00 for lubrication of the quill shaft
splines.
D. Gaskets and Packings
When lubricating gaskets and packings, use the type of fluid in the system for the gaskets and packings.
E. Control Cables and Cable Pressure Seals
Clean the pressure seals and the control cables for the length of travel through the pressure seals with cleaning solvent, (35,
Table 2, 12-00-00). Fill the seal with lubricant and lubricate the cleaned area of the cable and one inch beyond with grease, (12,
Table 2, 12-00-00). On all the remaining length of cable, apply corrosion-preventive compound, (5, Table 2, 12-00-00) with a
brush. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth.
F. Lubrication of Threads
Lubricate all plumbing fittings with the proper lubricant (Ref. Figure 201 and Table 201).
When applying lubricants, observe the following rules:
(1) Clean the threads before applying the lubricant.
(2) Use only thin coats of the selected thread lubricant.
(3) Apply lubricant to the male threads only.
(4) On straight-thread fittings, lubricate the first three threads.
(5) On tapered-thread fittings, do not lubricate the first two threads. Apply the lubricant to the next three threads only.
(6) Never allow lubricant to enter fittings or flare areas.
(7) Lubricate engine fittings only with the fluid transported in the lines, such as engine oil. Do not lubricate air lines.
