g) Starting
•
The ultralight has to be in a secure zone; make sure it is facing an unobstructed
place while taking into account the effect of the blast of the propeller upon the
surroundings.
•
Fill the fuel tank with a 50:1 mixture of premium petrol (GB), gasoline (US) and
synthetic oil (please refer to the engine user’s manual for details). The gauge is
located on the right at the tank’s front.
•
Make sure the fuel valve is open (see the above paragraph « setting and functions
of controls »).
•
Use the primer bulb (engine cold only) to prime the engine.
•
Sit in the trike, on the front, parking brake engaged, safety belt closed.
•
Open the choke lever (engine cold only).
•
Make two or three fuel injections using the primer pump on the right of the
passenger’s seat (engine cold only), near the choke lever.
•
Set the throttle lever and the foot pedal on
“idle”
position.
WARNING: you must hear the throttle valve closing before starting the
engine. Move the throttle lever back and forth to check that the piston on
each carburetor returns to idle position. If you do not hear this noise, the
reason may be a wrong adjustment or the cables may be stuck. In these
conditions, you may lose the control of the aircraft and cause a serious
accident, or even death, due to the strong push after starting.
•
Put the general ignition switch on the “on” position.
•
Make sure no one is standing close to the propeller and say out loud: “Clear prop”
then turn the key of the battery switch to the first position. The battery green light
must switch on. Turn the key to the “start”position. Release the key once the engine
has started. (Activate starter for max 10 seconds only, followed by a cooling period
of 2 minutes).
•
Turn the choke down once the engine has been running a few seconds.
•
Adjust throttle to achieve smooth running at approx. 2500 rpm.
WARNING :
for free cooling system engines (case of ROTAX 582 and 912), avoid a
long continued ground-run to prevent overheating due to lack of airflow wind particularly
if the outdoor temperature is high.
