Press starter switch for max. 10 sec. (followed by a cooling period of 2 min.).
After engine start, observe oil pressure. Oil pressure has to be built up within
10 sec.
Let engine run for approx. 2 min. at 2000 rpm. Then first use the throttle lever
to bring the engine to approx. 2500 rpm and then run through warming up pe-
riod, until the oil temperature reaches 50 °C (122 °F).
Check temperatures and oil pressure: At a steady oil temperature above
50 °C (122 °F) and oil pressure above 2 bar (200 kPa) engine speed may be
increased.
Ignition check as per the current Operators Manual.
Conduct a short full throttle run and check that the engine reaches the max.
full power speed. Consult the pilot's operating handbook for maximum speed,
as it depends on the propeller used.
