Hot engine procedure
The same as for cool engine start, but without turning the propeller and
the starting device (choke) is to be set to OFF.
Procedure for low temperature
The procedure is the same as for cool engine, but the throttle lever may
be set to idle only. The carburettor heating is to be switched on. The oil
pressure is to be observed carefully. It may be lower because of
increased drag of the flow through the oil pump.
If necessary, have the engine warmed up using a hot air blower.
To improve the engine operations in low ambient temperature it is
recommended that the air intake covers are used.
NOTE
At low ambient temperature engine starting may prove
difficult, because of a drop in the capacity of the
battery.
