• Check operation of both ignition circuits
• Inspect propeller for splits and chips. If any damage, repair
and/or rebalance before use
• Verify security of propeller mounting
• Inspect engine and gearbox for loose or missing nuts, bolts
and screws. Verify security of gearbox to engine mounting
• Check throttle, oil injection pump and choke actuation for free
and full movement
• Inspect exhaust for cracks, security of mounting, springs and
hooks for breakage and wear, verify safety wiring of springs
• Check operation of all engine instruments during warm up
• If possible, visually check engine and exhaust for excessive
vibration during warm up (indicates propeller out of balance)
• Verify that engine reaches full power rpm during take off roll
Non-compliance can result in serious injuries or death!
Do not start the engine if any person is near the engine.
On cold engine, apply choke fully. Ensure idle position of throttle
valves as opening throttle will greatly reduce choke effect re-
sulting in hard starting.
Make sure ignition switches are on and that you can shut them
off instantly if necessary. Pull starter until firmly engaged and
then pull smartly through.
Activate electric starter for max. 10 sec. (without interruption),
followed by a cooling period of 2 minutes.
Above procedure should be repeated until engine begins to
"fire". As soon as engine starts, shift the throttle slowly to low
speed and remove choke as soon as possible. Prolonged use
of choke can cause engine to flood.
If the engine fails to start or operates only on one cylinder,
check whether the ignition wiring is correctly connected to the
spark plug connectors, check spark plugs and check the igni-
tion is in ON position.
