4.
Sit in the trike, pilot in the front seat, parking brake engaged, safety belt fastened. Pull the buckle
to release the winding system of the shoulder straps and fix it on the locating lug provided for this
purpose, on the belt's side.
Safety belts should be placed at hip level and tightened correctly. Safety belts
fastened at abdominal level may cause internal injury in the event of a violent shock.
5.
Rotate the battery ignition key to the "On" position (the green battery indicator light on the
dashboard will illuminate).
6.
Turn on the electronic instruments using the switch on the top right of the dashboard.
7.
Set the switch off the main fuel pump to "On".
8.
Set the two switches of the ignition lines to "On".
9.
Press the Start Power Switch. Keep it pressed during steps 9 to 12.
10. Check that the two red lights below the ignition line switches turn on and off after about 3
seconds. If not, consult the Rotax engine manual to identify the problem.
11. Check that the fuel pressure reaches 3 bar (43.5 psi).
12. Depress the accelerator pedal by 1 to 2 cm from the "idle" position (refer to the Rotax manual for
precise information on this operation depending on the temperature).
Make sure no one is standing close to the propeller and say aloud: "Clear prop", then pause.
13.
Engage the starter by pressing the starter button. Release the pressure on both pushers as soon as
the engine starts and runs at 1500 rpm minimum. Activate starter for max 10 seconds only,
followed by a cooling period of 2 minutes.
Be prepared to cut the engine immediately in case of runaway due to a
blocked throttle mechanism.
14. Check the extinction of the warning lights and the engine parameters. The oil pressure should rise
within 10 seconds after starting.
15. Adjust the throttle for more than 2500 rpm for 5 seconds (generator B switches to A) if the oil
pressure is stable and above 3 bar (43.5 psi).
If a warning light comes on or flashes after starting, perform a line and ignition test.
After this test, both warning lights must be off, otherwise a problem exists and no
takeoff must be undertaken.

Set the auxiliary fuel pump switch to "On".
17.
Start taxing only after the engine has reached its operating temperature parameters. Release the
parking brake by a short push on the brake pedal.
If the parking brake has been engaged with little pressure and has not been
released, the pilot may not feel his action when taxing, but the take-off distance will
be much longer.
