SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
4.
If
there is fuel vapor in the lines, it will pass into the injector
nozzles in 2 to 3 seconds and the engine will gradually slow down
and stop. When engine speed starts to
decrease,
hold the left half of
the auxiliary fuel pump switch in the HI position for approximate-
ly one second to clear out the vapor. Intermittent use of the HI
position of the switch is necessary since prolonged use of the HI
position after vapor is cleared will flood out the engine during a
starting operation.
5.
Let the engine run at 1200 to 1400 RPM until the vapor is eliminated
and the engine idles
normally.
If
prolonged cranking is necessary, allow the starter motor to cool at
frequent intervals, since excessive heat may damage the armature.
After starting, if the oil pressure gage does not begin to show pressure
within 30 seconds in normal temperatures and 60 seconds in very cold
r""·
weather, shut off the engine and investigate. Lack of oil pressure can cause
serious engine damage.
TAXIING
Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine
speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller
tips.
Refer to
figure 4-2 for additional taxiing instructions.
BEFORE TAKEOFF
WARM-UP
Since the engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight cooling,
precautions should be taken to avoid overheating on the ground. Full
power checks on the ground are not recommended unless the pilot has good
reason to suspect that the engine is not turning up properly.
MAGNETO CHECK
The magneto check should be made at 1700 RPM as follows. Move
ignition switch first to R position and note RPM. Next move switch back to
BOTH to clear the
other
set of plugs. Then move switch to the L position,
note RPM
and
return the switch to the BOTH position. RPM drop should not
exceed 150 RPM on either magneto or show greater than 50 RPM differen-
tial between magnetos.
If
there is a doubt concerning operation of the
ignition system, RPM checks at higher engine speeds will usually confirm
whether a deficiency exists.
