  • Page 26: Cold Weather Starting

    SECTION 3 LYCOMING OPERATOR’S MANUAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TIO-540 SERIES – ANGLE VALVE CYLINDER HEADS a. TIO-540 Series (Cold Engine). NOTE If engine fails to achieve a normal start, assume it to be flooded and use standard clearing procedure. Then repeat above procedure.

  • Page 27: Ground Check

    LYCOMING OPERATOR’S MANUAL SECTION 3 TIO-540 SERIES – ANGLE VALVE CYLINDER HEADS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS a. Head the aircraft into the wind. b. Leave mixture in “Full Rich”. c. Operate the engine on the ground only with the propeller in minimum blade angle setting.

  • Page 28: Operating In Flight

    The procedures described in this manual provide proper fuel/air mixture when leaning Lycoming engines; they have proven to be both economical and practical by eliminating excessive fuel consumption and reducing damaged parts replacement. It is therefore recommended that operators of all Lycoming aircraft power-plants utilize the instructions in this publication any time the fuel/air mixture is adjusted during flight.
