  • Page 20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATING DETAILS FUEL SYSTEM NOTE With full cabin loading with either standard or long range tanks, it will be necessary to reduce the fuel load to keep the aircraft within approved weight limits. Refer to Section IV for weight and balance control procedures.
  • Page 22 NOTE Take off with the fuel selector valve handle in the BOTH ON position to prevent inadvertent take-off on an empty tank. However, during long range flight with the selector valve handle in the BOTH ON position, unequal fuel flow from each tank may occur if the wings are not maintained exactly level.

  • Page 39 NOTE Use heavy strokes of primer for best atomization of fuel. After priming, push primer all the way in and turn to the locked position to avoid the possibility of the engine drawing fuel through the primer.
  • Page 40 NOTE If the engine does not start during the first few attempts, or if engine firing diminishes in strength, it is probable that the spark plugs have frosted over. Preheat must be used before another start is attempted. IMPORTANT Pumping the throttle may cause a raw fuel to accumulate in the intake air duct, creating a fire hazard in the event of a backfire.
  • Page 41 HOT WEATHER OPERATION NOISE ABATEMENT NOTE The above recommended procedures do not apply where they would conflict with Air Traffic Control clearances or instructions, or where, in the pilot’s judgement, an altitude of less than 2,000 feet is necessary for him ti adequately exercise his duty to see and avoid other aircraft.
