SECTION IV
OPERATING INFORMATION
MODEL 560
The application of both AGE MASTER Number 1 and ICEX should be in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommended directions as outlined on the containers.
CAUTION
• PROTECT ADJACENT AREAS, CLOTHING, AND USE PLASTIC OR RUBBER
GLOVES DURING APPLICATIONS, AS AGE MASTER NUMBER 1 STAINS AND
ICEX CONTAINS SILICONE WHICH MAKES PAINT TOUCHUP ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE.
• ENSURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER’S WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ARE
ADHERED TO WHEN USING AGE MASTER NUMBER 1 AND ICEX.
If a high gloss finish is desired on the deice boots, ACROSEAL coating (available from Huber Inc., 114
North St. Francis Street, Wichita, KS 67202) may be used in lieu of AGE MASTER Number 1 and/or ICEX.
Preparation for application of ACROSEAL is the same as required for AGE MASTER Number 1 and ICEX.
Apply a thin layer of ACROSEAL on the clean and dry surface of the deice boot with a cloth swab. Let dry
thoroughly and hand buff with a soft cloth.
Small tears and abrasions can be repaired temporarily without removing the boots and the conductive
coating can be renewed.
ENGINES
The engine compartments should be cleaned using a suitable solvent. Most efficient cleaning is done
using a spray-type cleaner. Before spray cleaning, ensure protection is afforded for other components
which might be adversely affected by the solvent. Refer to the Airplane Maintenance Manual for proper
lubrication of components after engine cleaning.
INTERIOR CARE
To remove dust and loose dirt from the upholstery, headliner and carpet, clean the interior regularly
with a vacuum cleaner.
WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELDS
The acrylic windshields and windows should be kept clean and waxed at all times. To prevent
scratches and crazing, wash them carefully with plenty of soap and water, using the palm of the hand to
feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft cloth, chamois or sponge may be used, but only to carry water to
the surface. Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a clean, moist chamois. Rubbing the surface of the plastic
with a dry cloth builds up an electrostatic charge which attracts dust particles in the air. Wiping with a moist
chamois will remove both the dust and this charge.
Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with kerosene. Never use gasoline, benzine, acetone,
carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher fluid, lacquer thinner or glass cleaner. These materials will soften the
acrylic and may cause it to craze.
After removing dirt and grease, if the surface is not badly scratched, it should be waxed with a good
grade of commercial wax. The wax will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further scratching. Apply a
thin, even coat of wax and bring it to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry soft flannel cloth. Do
not use a power buffer; the heat generated by the buffing pad may soften the acrylic. If the surface is badly
scratched refer to the Airplane Maintenance Manual for approved repairs.
Do not use a canvas cover on the windshield unless freezing rain or sleet is anticipated. Canvas
covers may scratch the acrylic surface.
OXYGEN MASKS
The crew masks are permanent-type masks which contain a microphone for radio transmissions. The
passenger masks are oro-nasal type which forms around the mouth and nose area. All masks can be
cleaned with alcohol. Do not allow solution to enter microphone or electrical connections. Apply talcum
powder to external surfaces of passenger mask rubber face-piece.
