3. Do not operate an alternator on an open circuit. Be sure
all circuit connections are secure.

the alternator or electronic voltage regulator.

MAGNETOS

Ordinarily, the magnetos will require only occasional adjust-
ment, lubrication, and breaker point replacement. This work
should be done by a Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Autho-
rized Outlet.
To be safe, treat the magnetos as hot
whenever a switch lead is disconnected at
any point; they do not have an internal
automatic grounding device. Otherwise, all
spark plug leads should be disconnected or
the cable outlet plate on the rear of the
magneto should be removed.
