4.13 ENGINE START (4.5c) (continued)
4.13b

Normal Start - Hot Engine (4.5c)

Open the throttle approximately l/2 inch. Turn ON the alternator and
battery master switches, and the electric fuel pump. The mixture control lever
should be in idle cut-off. Check that the propeller area is clear, and engage the
starter by rotating the magneto switch clockwise. When the engine fires,
release the magneto switch, advance the mixture, and move the throttle to the
desired setting. Check the oil pressure.
4.13c

Engine Start When Flooded (4.5c)

The throttle lever should he full OPEN. Turn ON the alternator and battery
master switches, and turn OFF the emergency fuel pump. The mixture control
lever should be in idle cut-off. Check that the propeller area is clear, and
engage the starter by rotating the magneto switch clockwise. When the engine
fires. release the magneto switch, advance the mixture, and retard the throttle.
Check the oil pressure.
4.13d

Engine Start With External Power Source (4.5c)

An optional feature called the Piper External Power (PEP) allows the
operator to use an external battery to crank the engine without having to gain
access to the airplane's battery.
Turn OFF the alternator switch, the battery master switch, and all
electrical equipment. Connect the RED lead of the PEP kit jumper cable to the
POSITIVE (+) terminal of an external 12-volt battery and the BLACK lead to
the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. Insert the plug of the jumper cable into the socket
located on the fuselage. Note that when the plug is inserted, the electrical
system is ON. Proceed with the normal starting technique.
After the engine has started. reduce power to the lowest possible rpm and
disconnect the jumper cable from the aircraft. Turn the alternator and battery
master switches ON. Check the alternator ammeter for an indication of output.
DO NOT ATTEMPT FLIGHT IF THERE IS NO INDICATION OF
ALTERNATOR OUTPUT.
It is possible to use the ship's battery in parallel
by turning only the battery master switch ON.
This will give longer cranking capabilities, but
will not increase the amperage. Care should be
exercised because if the ship's battery has been
depleted, the external power supply can be
reduced to the level of the ship's battery. This can
be tested by turning only the battery master
switch ON momentarily while the starter is
engaged. If cranking speed increases, the ship's
battery is at a higher level than the external
power supply.
