3.
Fuel Pump AUX
switch
OFF
4.

12.
Oil Pressure

13.
ALT 1 / ALT 2
warning lights
OFF
CAUTION
The oil pressure has to show rising values within 10 seconds after engine start, otherwise shut
down the engine immediately!
NOTE
The starter may not be operated for more then 10 seconds at a time. Allow the starter to cool
off for at least 2 minutes between attempts.
CAUTION
BAT2 switch must be turned ON at all times during flight to ensure a stabilized control voltage
at the ALT2 regulator-rectifier unit. If the on-board power supply fails, ALT2 will ensure the
MAIN fuel pump power supply.
NOTE
As long as the propeller keeps moving (also in windmilling) ALT2 will feed the MAIN fuel pump
with electricity even in the event of inadvertently switching off ALT2 AND BAT2. However, in
this case the stabilizing effect of BAT2 is no longer available, which, in the event of additional
extreme voltage fluctuations in the on-board power supply, could result in an automatic shut
down of the ALT2 regulator-rectifier unit and cause an engine stoppage.
