Cirrus SR20 and SR22
Section 3
11. Power Lever ...............................RETARD (to maintain 1000 RPM)
Adjust the power lever as necessary to maintain engine
smoothness and engine speed at 1000 RPM.
12. Oil Pressure ....................................................................... CHECK
After starting engine, if the oil gauge does not begin to show
pressure within 30 seconds in warm weather and about 60
seconds in very cool weather, shut down engine and
investigate cause. Lack of oil pressure indicates loss of
lubrication, which can cause severe engine damage.
13. Mixture (SR22 Turbo) .............................................................. Lean
Lean the mixture for maximum RPM rise shortly after engine start
and leave the mixture lean during taxi until the run up.
It is acceptable to lean the SR20 and SR22 using the same
procedure described above for high altitude operations or if spark
plug fouling is suspected.
14. Alt Master Switches .................................................................. ON
Turn on both alternator master switches after engine start.
Alternators should be left OFF during engine starting to avoid
high electrical loads.
15. Avionics Power Switch .............................................................. ON
Turn on avionics power switch and verify all avionics power up.
16. Engine Parameters ........................................................ MONITOR
Monitor all engine parameters to include manifold pressure,
engine speed, oil pressure and temperature, EGT's, and CHT's. If
any system displays an abnormal indication, engine shutdown
should be considered and the problem investigated.
17. External Power (if applicable).................................. DISCONNECT
Verify external power is removed and external power door secured
by the assisting personnel. Consider reducing power to idle while
external power is disconnected to minimize propeller blast.
