After the first 25 hours of operation, drain engine oil sump and clean
the oil pressure screen. If an oil filter is installed, change filter
element at this time. Refill sump with straight mineral oil and use
until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil consumption has sta-
bilized; then change to dispersant oil. On aircraft not equipped with
an oil filter, drain the engine oil sump and clean the oil pressure *Fan-Driven Wstem

the oil change interval may be extended to 100-hour intervals, pro-
viding the oil filter element is changed at 50-hour intervals. Change
engine oil at least every 6 months even though less than the recom-
mended hours have accumulated. Reduce intervals for prolonged
operation in dusty areas, cold climates, or when short flights and
long idle periods result in sludging conditions.

After the finish has cured completely, keeping the aircraft clean and
waxed is important. Besides maintaining the trim appearance of the air-
craft, cleaning reduces the possibility of corrosion and makes inspection
and maintenance easier. During agricultural spraying and dusting opera-
tions, daily hosing down of the aircraft is highly recommended. Prior to
cleaning the exterior, mask off pitot and static system openings to pre-
vent entry of water. Wash the aircraft with cold or lukewarm water and
mild soap as noted above. Harsh or abrasive soaps or detergents which
cause corrosion or scratches should never be used. To remove stubborn

After cleaning, the painted surfaces may be waxed with a good automotive

If your aircraft is to retain that new-plane performance and dependa-
bility, certain inspection and maintenance requirements must be followed.
It is wise to follow a planned schedule of lubrication and preventive main-
tenance based on climatic and flying conditions encountered in your locality.

GROUND HANDLING.
When maneuvering the aircraft by hand, push at the wing struts, stub
wing, landing gear struts, leading edge of the stabilizer adjacent to the
fuselage, at the root of the vertical fin, or lift the tail with the stowable
lift handles, which are located on the sides of the tailcone near the hori-
zontal stabilizer. Do not lift the empennage by the tip of the horizontal
stabilizer or elevator; likewise, do not shove sidewise on the upper por-
tion of the fin.
