CLEANING HELICOPTER
CLEANING EXTERIOR INCLUDING ROTOR BLADES
The helicopter should be washed with mild soap and water. Harsh abrasives, alkaline soaps, or detergents should not be used because they could scratch painted or plastic surfaces or could cause corrosion of metal. Cover areas where cleaning solution could cause damage. Use the following procedure:
1. Rinse away loose dirt and salt residue with water.
2. Apply cleaning solution with a soft cloth, sponge, or soft bristle brush.
3. To remove stubborn oil and grease, use a cloth dampened with aliphatic naphtha.
4. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly.
5. Apply carnauba wax to rotor blades and renew wax when water no longer beads on blade surface. Any good automotive wax may be used to preserve other painted surfaces. Soft cleaning cloths or a chamois should be used to prevent scratches when cleaning or polishing.
CAUTION
Never use high-pressure spray to clean helicopter. Never blow compressed air into main or tail rotor blade tip drain holes.
CLEANING WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS
1. Remove dirt, mud, and other loose particles from exterior surfaces with clean water.
2. Wash with mild soap and warm water or with aircraft plastic cleaner. Use a soft cloth or sponge in a straight back and forth motion. Do not rub harshly.
3. Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or aliphatic naphtha.
CAUTION
Do not use gasoline, other alcohols, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, thinner, acetone, or window (glass) cleaning sprays.
4. After cleaning plastic surfaces, apply a thin coat of hard polishing wax. Rub lightly with a soft cloth. Do not use a circular motion.
5. Scratches can be removed by rubbing with jeweler’s rouge followed by hand polishing with commercial plastic polish. Use a figure eight motion when polishing.
CLEANING UPHOLSTERY AND SEATS
1. Vacuum and brush, then wipe with damp cloth. Dry immediately.
2. Soiled upholstery, except leather, may be cleaned with a good upholstery cleaner suitable for the material. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid soaking or harsh rubbing.
CAUTION
Avoid use of solvents, detergents, or aerosol sprays near CO sensor. Tape off openings in top and bottom of sensor housing when cleaning cabin interior.
3. Leather should be cleaned with saddle soap or a mild hard soap and water.
CLEANING CARPETS
Remove loose dirt with a whisk broom or vacuum. For soiled spots and stains, use nonflammable dry cleaning liquid.
