INTEGRATED
SEAT
BELT/SHOULDER
HARNESSES
WITH INERTIA REELS.
Optional
integrated
seat belt/shoulder
harnesses
with inertia
reels
are available
for
the
pilot
and
front
seat
passenger.
The
seat belt/shoul-
der harnesses
extend
from
inertia
reels
in
the
cabin
ceiling
to
attach
points
inboard
of
the two
front
seats.
A separate
seat
belt
half
and
buckle
is located
outboard
of
the
seats.
The inertia
reels
are
located
in
the
aft
overhead
console,
and are
labeled
PILOT
and COPILOT.
Inertia
reels
allow
complete
freedom
of body movement.
However,
in
the
event
of
a sud-
den deceleration,
they
will lock up
automatically
to
protect
the
occupants.
To use
the
seat belt/shoulder
harness,
adjust
the
metal
buckle
half
on
the
harness
up far enough
to
allow
it
to
be drawn
across
the
lap of
the
occupant
and be fastened
into
the
outboard
seat
belt buckle.
Adjust
seat
belt
tension
by
pulling
up on
the
shoulder
harness.
To remove
the
seat belt/shoulder
harness,
release
the
seat
belt buckle
and allow
the
inertia
reel
to
draw
the
harness
to the
inboard
side of
the
seat.
STARTING ENGINE.
Ordinarily
the
engine starts
easily
with one or
two
strokes
of
the
primer
in warm
temperatures
to
six strokes
in cold weather
with
the throttle
open
approximately
1/2
inch.
In extremely
cold
temperatures
it may be necessary
to
continue
priming
while
cranking.
Weak intermittent
firing
followed
by
puffs
of black
smoke
from
the
exhaust
stack
indicate
overpriming
or flood-
ing.
Excess
fuel can be cleared
from
the
combustion
chambers
by
the
following
procedure:
Set
the
mixture
control
full lean
and
the throttle
full
open;
then
crank
the
engine
through
several
revolutions
with
the
starter·
Repeat
the
starting
procedure
without
any
additional
priming.
If
the
engine
is underprimed
(most
likely
in cold weather
with a cold
engine)
it
will
not fire
at all.
Additional
priming
will be necessary
for
the
next starting
attempt.
As soon
as
the
cylinders
begin
to
fire,
open
the throttle
slightly
to
keep it running.
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 gage does not
begin
to
show
pressure
within
30
seconds
in
the
summertime
and about
twice that
long in very
cold
weather,
stop
engine
and
investigate.
Lack
of oil pressure
can cause
serious
engine
damage.
After
starting,
avoid
the
use of carburetor
heat
unless
icing
conditions
prevail.
