NORMAL PROCEDURES
Should
the engine tend to die after starting, turn on the
auxiliary
fuel
pump temporarily
and
adjust
the throttle and/or
mixture
as
necessary
to
keep the engine running. ln the event of over
priming
or flooding, turn off the auxiliary fuel pump, open the throttle
from
112
lo
full open, and
continue cranking with
the
mixture full
lean.
When the engine fires, smoothly
advance
the mixture control to
full
rich
and retard the throttle
to
desired idle speed.
lf the engine is under primed (most likely in cold weather with
a
cold engine)
it
will not fire at all, and
additional priming
will
be
necessary.
After starting,
if
the oil pressure
indicator
does not begin to
show
pressure within
30
seconds in the summer time and
approximately
one minute in very cold weather, stop the engine and
investigate.
Lack
of oil pressure can cause serious engine damage.
NOTE
Additional details concerning
cold weather starting
and
operation
may
be
found under COLD
WEATHER
OPERATION paragraphs
in
this section.
Recommended
starter duty
cycle.
Crank
the
starter
for
10
seconds
followed by a 20
second
cool down
period.
This cycle
can
be
repeated
two
additional times, followed
by
a
ten
minute
cool
down period before
resuming
cranking.
Repeat
cranking
procedures
above
one
more
time. lf
the
engine
still fails
to
start,
an
investigation
to
determine the cause should be initiated.
TAXIING
When taxiing,
it
is
important that speed
and use
of
brakes
be
held
to a
minimum and that all controls be utilized (Refer
to
Figure
4-2,
Taxiing
Diagram) to maintain directional control and balance.
Taxiing
over loose
gravel
or
cinders should
be
done
at
low
engine speed
to
avoid abrasion and stone damage
to the
propeller
tips.
