SERVICING - GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a safety
precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or maintenance.
Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from
jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or maintenance
should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of safety, should it
become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain variations
must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.

The information in this chapter provides instructions for replenishment and servicing of the airplane and/or
components, which can be accomplished as routine maintenance. For other servicing procedures of the various
airplane components, refer to the applicable chapter.

After servicing, the access door/panels, covers and caps which have been removed should be securely installed.

CAUTION: Do not step on any of the airplane's outer surfaces unless authorized by markings.

EMERGENCY BRAKE AND MAIN GEAR DOOR-CLOSE NITROGEN BOTTLE SERVICING

(RK-100 AND AFTER)
Servicing the emergency brake and main gear door-close nitrogen bottle consists of maintaining the nitrogen
pressure in the bottle at 1350 to 1650 psig. Check the bottle pressure by observing pressure gage on the RH side
panel of the cockpit (Ref. Figure 209). RK-100 thru RK-120 with Kit 128-5033 and RK-156 and After installed also
have an additional pressure gage in the LH nose compartment. If the gage indicates less than 1350 psi of pressure,
add compressed nitrogen (10, Chart 202, 12-00-00) to the bottle as follows:

a. Remove the LH nose electronic compartment door (811AL) to gain access to the charging valve.

b. Loosen the valve cap on the charging valve one turn to release trapped pressure, then remove the cap.

c. Connect the pressure gage assembly (3, Chart 201, 12-00-00) to the charging valve (Ref. Figure 207).

d. Close the bleed valve on the pressure gage assembly.

e. Connect the service line hose to the pressure gage assembly.

f. Open the charging valve by turning the swivel nut counterclockwise 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn past the free play area
of the valve (Ref. Figure 209).

g. Charge the bottle to a few pounds over 1500 psig.

h. Shut off the nitrogen supply and disconnect the service line hose.

WARNING: Pressure will escape through the charging stem of the pressure gage assembly. Do not cover
stem with hands or point toward face.

i. Allow the pressure to stabilize. If necessary, bleed the pressure down to 1500 psig by slowly cracking the bleed
valve.

j. Close the charging valve by turning the swivel nut clockwise past the free-play area and torque the nut to 50 to
70 in.-lbs. (60 - 80 kg-cm).

k. Bleed the pressure from the pressure gage assembly.

l. Remove the pressure gage assembly from the charging valve.

m. Install the valve cap finger-tight.

n. Install the LH nose electronic compartment door (811AL).

SCHEDULED SERVICING
LUBRICATION SCHEDULE
Prior to performing the various lubrication tasks in each area, it is important that proper safety precautions and
access to the specified areas be accomplished.

Use only clean and approved lubricants. Remove all excess oil and grease that accumulates near the lubrication
fittings and areas. Refer to the Lubrication Schedules, for proper lubricants and the hourly intervals for lubrication.

WARNING: Solvents used in the following text are flammable; observe normal safety precautions during
use.

LUBRICATION
WARNING: Use only specified greases by product name/manufacturer. DO NOT MIX greases.
The following lubrication schedule is organized so that related items requiring lubrication are grouped together. Each
lubrication point is identified and indexed for location on the accompanying illustration. Lubrication time intervals are
incremented to occur at times coincident with the detailed inspection intervals listed in Chapter 05-20-01 for Model
400 airplanes and Chapter 05-20-02 for Model 400A airplanes.

LUBRICATION PRECAUTIONS

a. Cleanliness is essential to good lubrication. Lubricants and dispensing equipment must be kept clean. Use only
one lubricant in a grease gun or oil can.

b. The lubricant used for relubrication and the lubricant used in the assembly or installation of parts should be of
the same type.

c. Store lubricants in protected containers kept closed at all times when not in use.

d. Wipe grease fittings and areas to be lubricated with clean dry cloths before lubricating.

e. All lubricant containers should have a label showing contents and shelf life.

f. To lubricate threads, apply a small quantity of the specified lubricant on external threads only.

g. To apply lubricant on press-type fittings, lubricate only to the extent that lubricant comes out slightly around the
bushing and bearing.

h. After any lubrication, clean excess lubricant from all but actual working parts.

i. All sealed or prepacked antifriction bearings are lubricated by the manufacturer with grease (3, Chart 202,
12-00-00) unless otherwise specified.

j. Do not oil antifriction bearings or expose them to spray from steam or chemical cleaners. When exterior bearing
surfaces are cleaned, wipe with a cloth dampened with solvent (2, Chart 202, 12-00-00).

k. Friction bearings of the porous, sintered type are prelubricated. An occasional oiling of such bearings by a squirt
can of general purpose oil (5, Chart 202, 12-00-00) will extend their service life.

l. Use general purpose oil (5, Chart 202, 12-00-00) to lubricate unsealed pulley bearings, rod ends, pivot ends,
hinge points and any other friction points obviously needing lubrication.

C26 12-20-00 Oct 01/13
 MODEL 400/400A MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CONTROL CABLE LUBRICATION

When the cable is dirty, it should be wiped with a cloth dampened with solvent (2, Chart 202, 12-00-00) and touched
up with corrosion preventative compound (1, Chart 202, 12-00-00).

LUBRICATION SCHEDULE - MAIN LANDING GEAR

Figure 201, Sheet 1
WARNING: When performing maintenance that includes disturbing the down and locked position of the
landing gear, a landing gear extension and retraction check must be performed in accordance
with Chapter 32-00-00.
WARNING: Use only specified greases by product name/manufacturer. DO NOT MIX greases.

ENVIRONMENTAL FALLOUT (ACID RAIN)

In certain areas of the country where chemicals may be present in the atmosphere, avoid outside storage when
conditions exists where moisture may collect on painted surfaces. Acids which remain in standing water can stain
the paint topcoat and cause permanent damage to the finish. Flush off residual moisture with clean water and dry
the surface. At this time, waxing the surface can provide protection from acid rain damage.

WINDSHIELD CLEANING (RJ-1 AND AFTER; RK-1 THRU RK-242 WITHOUT KIT 128-5405
INSTALLED)
NOTE: It is essential that the windshield wipers be thoroughly cleaned. Grit trapped by the wipers is a common
source of scratches in the windshield when the wipers are operated. Do not attempt to polish such nicks or
scratches in the glass surface.

The electrically heated windshields have an outer glass surface that has an anti-static coating. Clean as follows:

a. Wash excessive dirt and other substances from the glass with clean water.

b. Wash the windshield clean with soap (16, Chart 202, 12-00-00) and water or a 50/50 solution of cleaner (14,
Chart 202, 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 acid base material to clean the glass.

c. Rinse the glass thoroughly and dry. Do not apply wax.

d. In severe situations the following solvents (17, 18 and 19, Chart 202, 12-00-00) are permitted.

CAUTION: Extreme care must be used in the application of any solvent due to its reaction to seals, bumpers and
interlayers (Polyvinyl Butyral) of laminated glass, etc. Improper use can lead to premature windshield
failure. No scratch removal is authorized on glass surface of the outer windshield panel.

WINDSHIELD CLEANING (RJ-1 AND AFTER AND RK-1 THRU RK-242 WITH KIT 128-5405
INSTALLED; RK-243 AND AFTER)
CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR SURFACE SEAL WINDSHIELD - EXTERIOR ONLY

CAUTION: Make sure that the windshield heat is turned off. The windshield should not be hot to touch and should
be out of direct sunlight. Do not apply polish or wax to the glass surface.
For windshield Surface Seal application and removal, refer to Model 400/400A Component Maintenance Manual,
P/N 128-590001-81.

a. Flush the windshield surface with clean water to remove excess dirt.

CAUTION: Wear linen/polypropylene gloves to prevent possible contamination of the glass surface from skin
oil. Wash windshield with PPG’S PRIST glass cleaner. If PRIST is not available, alternate cleaning
solutions include a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, a 50/50 mixture of rubbing alcohol
and water, or Windex (Clear or Orange) glass cleaner.

b. Wash the front and side windshields with cleaning solution.

CAUTION: When using a plastic cleaning pad, be extremely careful that removed adhered particles do not
become embedded in the pad and become a potential cause of scratches in the coating or glass.

c. Adhered particles can be dislodged using the cleaning solution and a plastic cleaning pad.

d. Flush the windshield thoroughly with water. Wipe dry with strokes in one direction using a lint-free cloth.

PLASTIC WINDOW CLEANING

The plastic windows should be kept clean and waxed at all times. Any nonacid, nonabrasive material may be used
for this purpose. Windex and similar commercial cleaners containing ammonia will destroy or craze the plastic
windows and MUST NOT BE USED. Automobile cleaners and waxes may be used on plastic windows only if they
are nonacrylic. To prevent scratches and crazing, wash the windows carefully with plenty of soap and water. Use
the palm of the hand to 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.

Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with cleaning solvent, (19, Chart 202, 12-00-00). Never use gasoline,
kerosene, benzene, alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher or anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner, or glass
cleaner. These materials will soften the plastic and may cause it to craze.

POLISHING WINDOWS
CAUTION: Do not wipe the acrylic window surface with a hard cloth or dry flannel cloth. Use a flannel cloth
dampened with water.
NOTE: After cleaning, apply polish over the entire surface.

If the surface is not badly scratched after dirt and grease removal, it should be polished with a good grade of
commercial wax. The polish will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further scratching. Apply a thin, even coat
of polish and bring it to a high polish as instructed by the following procedure. Do not use a power buffer; the heat
generated by the buffing pad may soften the plastic.

Page 250
Oct 01/13 12-20-00 C26
 MODEL 400/400A MAINTENANCE MANUAL

a. Apply polish (20, Chart 202, 12-00-00) with a flannel cloth dampened with water. Polish the surface lightly two
or three times using a circular motion. Wipe evenly over the entire surface.

b. After applying polish, wipe it dry with a clean flannel cloth dampened with water. The polish is effective in
preventing accumulations of dust and dirt on acrylic windows.

LEATHER OR VINYL CLEANING

CAUTION: The color of leather may be a surface dye only. Do not rub the leather with hard or coarse materials.
While working in the cabin, use protective covers on upholstery. Use only mild detergent with a soft cloth
to clean soiled leather.

To remove a light film of grit and dust, an occasional dusting is required. To remove almost any stain, wash as
follows:

NOTE: Never use saddle soap, furniture polishes, oils, varnishes, ammonia water, or solvents of any kind.

a. Use lukewarm water.

b. With Castile, Ivory, or any other mild soap, work up a thin layer of suds on a piece of cheesecloth and apply to
the stained area.

c. With a piece of cheesecloth dampened in clean water remove the soap film.

d. Dry the dampened area with a dry, soft cloth.

FABRIC CLEANING
Dust has impurities which affect fabrics; therefore, vacuuming at regular intervals is recommended. Dry cleaning
should be done at regular intervals before excessive soil has accumulated. The actual cleaning of draperies and
upholstery must be performed by a professional dry cleaner. Very few fabrics are washable.

LAMINATE CLEANING
The decorative surface may be readily cleaned with warm water and a mild soap. The use of abrasive or special
cleansers should be avoided. Stubborn stains may be removed with organic solvents or a two-minute exposure to
a hydrochloride bleach, such as Clorox, followed by a clean water rinse.

UNPAINTED SURFACE INSPECTION

This procedure provides information to inspect the leading edges and other unpainted surfaces for corrosion and to
polish these surfaces to provide protection from the environment.

a. INSPECTION -

1. Inspect the wing leading edges for corrosion.

2. Inspect the wing stall fences for corrosion.

3. Inspect the horizontal stabilizer leading edges for corrosion. If corrosion cannot be removed by the polishing
procedure in Step b., refer to Chapter 55-00-02 in the Model 400/400A Structural Repair Manual for
corrosion repair.

4. Inspect the thrust reverser stangs (if installed), doors and anti drag fairing for corrosion.

C26 12-20-00 Oct 01/13
 MODEL 400/400A MAINTENANCE MANUAL

5. Inspect the windshield frames for corrosion.

6. Inspect the engine inlets for corrosion.

7. Inspect the pitot probes for corrosion.

NOTE: Perform Step b. if corrosion is found on any item in Step a. Perform Step b. if the owner desires to polish
the surface. Perform Step c. if no corrosion is found.
In coastal areas or when operating in an environment conducive to corrosion, it may be necessary to polish
at more frequent intervals.

b. POLISHING -

CAUTION: Do not allow any polish or masking tape to enter or clog the pitot probe inlet or drain ports.

1. Clean the surface to be polished with water and clean, cotton wiping cloths. Allow area to dry.

2. Mask around the area to be polished with paper (23, Chart 202, 12-00-00) and tape (24, Chart 202,
12-00-00).

CAUTION: Do not buff the surfaces such that they become to hot to touch with bare hands. Allow the surfaces
to cool between polishing steps. Use constant movement and light pressure to avoid creating “HOT
SPOTS” on the surfaces. Do not use any buffing or polishing compounds that contain uncured
silicones that could damage adjacent painted surfaces.

3. Apply aluminum polish (25, Chart 202, 12-00-00) and buff surface with a buffer (9, Chart 201, 12-00-00) and
buffer pad (26, Chart 202, 12-00-00) until the area is aesthetically acceptable, uniform in appearance and
with a minimum of swirl marks. Use the wheel rake (10, Chart 201, 12-00-00) as required.

4. Install a new, clean buffer pad (26, Chart 202, 12-00-00) and use metal polish (27, Chart 202, 12-00-00) to
buff and polish the entire area to its final finish.

NOTE: Use only clean, soft cloth (such as flannel) to remove polish.

5. Remove any remaining polishing residue with a cloth. Do not use any solvents. Do not touch the polished
area with bare hands.

NOTE: If Step b. was performed due to the presence of corrosion, repeat Step a. If corrosion is still present,
contact Beechcraft Technical Support. If corrosion is no longer present or was not present when Step
b. was performed continue with this procedure.

6. Remove the masking materials.

c. WAXING -

CAUTION: Do not allow any wax to enter or clog the pitot probe inlet or drain ports.

1. Wax the inspected or polished areas with wax (28, Chart 202, 12-00-00). Do not allow wax to contact the
surface of the windshield.

2. Ensure the pitot probe inlet and drain ports are not obstructed following the waxing procedure.

EXTERIOR PAINT CARE

NOTE: Any time work is done to the RVSM area a RVSM REGION INSPECTION and a STATIC PORT
INSPECTION are required, refer to Chapter 34-10-01.
NOTE: For unpainted exterior surface care, refer to UNPAINTED SURFACE INSPECTION.
DURING THE CURING PERIOD

Check with the paint manufacturer for the curing time of the paint.

a. Avoid long flights in rain or sleet. Avoid any operating conditions that may cause abrasion or premature finish
deterioration.

CAUTION: Prior to washing, attach the pitot covers and plug off all other openings. Be particularly careful to mask
off static air buttons before washing.

b. Clean airplane with mild detergents and water only. Use a clean soft rag free from dirt and grime. Rinse with
clear water thoroughly.

c. Use no waxes, polishes, rubbing compounds or abrasive cleaners of any type. Use of such items can
permanently damage the surface finish.

d. Oil or soot deposits on cowlings, wheel wells, etc. may be removed with automotive tar removers.

AFTER THE CURING PERIOD

Check with the paint manufacturer for the curing time of the paint.

CAUTION: Prior to washing, attach the pitot covers and plug off all other openings. Be particularly careful to mask
off static air buttons before washing or waxing.

a. Continue to wash the airplane regularly. Use mild detergents and water only. Thorough clear water rinsing
prevents detergent residue buildup that can dull the paint’s finish.

b. Normally waxing is not necessary. However, the surface may be kept well waxed as a means of affording
maximum protection against acid rain and ultraviolet damage if exposure is unavoidable. Use a high quality
automotive waxing product. Never use rubbing compounds or abrasive cleaners of any type.

c. In certain areas, where chemicals may be present in the atmosphere, i.e. acid rain, avoid outside storage when
conditions are such that moisture may form or collect on painted surfaces. Left unattended, acids in standing
water from rain, snow, fog, dew, etc. can stain the paint topcoat resulting in permanent damage to the finish.
Any standing moisture from atmospheric sources or moisture related residue should be flushed off with clean
tap water as soon as possible and dried.

PAINT STRIPPING PROCEDURES

Beechcraft Corporation has two approved methods of paint removal: Dry Media Blasting and Chemical Stripping.

DRY MEDIA BLASTING PROCESS

Beechcraft Corporation recommends two materials for the dry media blasting process: Envirostrip and Plastic Media
Type V.

Page 253
C26 12-20-00 Oct 01/13
 MODEL 400/400A MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Envirostrip is the preferred media method on all surfaces and should be used exclusively to strip skin panels without
limitations (31, Chart 202, 12-00-00).

Plastic Media Type V may be used only on castings and forgings.

CAUTION: Due to the aggressive nature of plastic media blasting, use extreme caution when using any plastic
media stripping methods that can cause damage to skins.
CHEMICAL STRIPPING

Chemical stripping is another acceptable method of paint removal using environmentally friendly strippers (32, Chart
202, 12-00-00).
