10.3.4) Engine start
▲ WARNING! Do not take the engine into operation if any person
is near the aircraft.
On cold engine, apply choke fully. Ensure idle position of throttle
valves as opening throttle will greatly reduce choke effect resulting
in hard starting.
Make sure ignition switch is on and that you can shut it off instantly
if necessary. Pull starter until firmly engaged and then pull smartly
through.
■ CAUTION: At employment of an electric starter, activate
starter for max. 10 sec. only (without interuption),
followed by a cooling period of 2 min.
Above procedure should be repeated until engine begins to "fire".
As soon as engine starts, shift the throttle slowly to low speed and
remove choke as soon as possible. Prolonged use of choke can
cause engine to flood.
If the engine fails to start or operates only on one cylinder, check
whether the ignition wiring is correctly connected to the spark plug
connectors, check spark plugs and check the ignition is in ON
position.
■ CAUTION: Ensure grounding switch is in correct position and
wired correctly.
