GENERAL

The EXTRA 200 can be equipped with two versions of an optional external power recep-
tacle system. The "normal" system (PN 93102.16-01) provides the capability to start the en-
gine independent of the board battery and is limited to this use. The "continuous operation"
system (PN 93102.16-02) further allows feeding the electrical system for longer periods.

The operation limitations are not affected due to the installation of the external power
receptacle system. For the location of the external power receptacle and protection of the
electrical connection cable against overheating the following placard has to be attached on
