SUPPLEMENT
OXYGEN SYSTEM
SECTION 1
GENERAL
A four-place oxygen system provides the supplementary oxygen
necessary for continuous flight at high altitude. In this system, an oxygen
cylinder, located behind the rear baggage compartment wall, supplies the
oxygen. Cylinder pressure is reduced to an operating pressure of 70 psi by
a pressure regulator attached to the cylinder. A shutoff valve is included as
part of the regulator assembly. An oxygen cylinder filler valve is located
behind a removable cover on the left side of the fuselage aft of the baggage
compartment door. Cylinder pressure is indicated by a pressure gage
located in the overhead oxygen console.
Four oxygen outlets are provided; two in the overhead oxygen console
(
and two in the cabin ceiling just above the side windows, one at each of the

those for the passengers; it is color-coded with a red band
adjacent to the plug-in fitting. The passenger hoses are
color-coded with an orange band.
If
the airplane owner
prefers, he may provide higher flow hoses for all pas­
sengers. In any case, it is recommended that the pilot use
the larger capacity hose. The pilot's mask is equipped with
a microphone to facilitate use of the radio while using
oxygen. An adapter cord is furnished with the
microphone-equipped mask to mate the mask microphone
lead to the auxiliary microphone jack located on the left
side of the instrument panel. To connect the oxygen mask
microphone, connect the mask lead to the adapter cord and
plug the cord into the auxiliary microphone jack.

an
optional microphone-headset combination has been in
