EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
PA-32R-301, SARATOGA II HP
3.23 ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP FAILURE
•
If an engine driven fuel pump failure is indicated, retard the throttle and
tum ON the electric fuel pump. The throttle should then be reset as required. A
landing should be made at the nearest appropriate airport as soon as possible
and the cause of the failure investigated.
CAUTION
If
normal engine operation and fuel flow is not
immediately re-established, the electric fuel
pump should be turned off. The lack of a fuel
flow indication while the electric fuel pump is on
could indicate a leak in the fuel system, or fuel
exhaustion. If fuel system leak is verified,
switch fuel selector to off.
3.25 IDGH OIL TEMPERATURE
An abnormally high oil temperature indication may be caused by a low
oil level, an obstruction in the oil cooler, damaged or improper baffle seals, a
defective gauge, or other causes. Land as soon as practical at an appropriate
airport and have the cause investigated.
A steady, rapid rise in oil temperature is a sign of trouble. Land at the
nearest airport imd let a mechanic investigate the problem. Watch the oil
pressure gauge for an accompanying loss of pressure.
3.26 ELECTRICAL FAILURES
Loss of alternator output is detected through Alternator Inop
annunciator illumination, zero alternator ammeter indication and negative
battery ammeter indications (battery is supplying aircraft power). If these
indications are present, the battery is the only source of aircraft power and
electrical loads should be reduced to a minimum.
First, check the alternator circuit breaker for a popped circuit (breaker
out).
Next reset the alternator by moving the ALT switch to OFF for one
second and then to ON. If the trouble was caused by a momentary
overvoltage condition (30.5 volts and up) this procedure should return the
ammeter to a normal reading.
