Brake lever Brake locking pawl Choke lever
Throttle Brake fluid container (with level marks, DOT4 fluid)
Note: when topping up the brake fluid, take the cap off, then the rubber concertina
between the cap and the reservoir. Top up, and refit the concertina (that keeps
air/moisture from the fluid), flattening the concertina as required prior to fitment. Refit the
cap tightly.
The rear cockpit is not fitted with a throttle as standard – this is an instructor option fit. The
unit is retained with two screws from the top, and one screw and nut retaining the link to
the front throttle. The unit may be removed, but removal or refitment must be noted in the
aircraft logbook, and must be dual inspected. The unit may also be fitted with a brake
lever to operate the mainwheel brakes via a Bowden cable to the front seat throttle
cluster. Again, this may be removed, with the appropriate tools and replacement parts,
and noted in the aircraft logbook with a dual inspection.
The rear cockpit may also be fitted with magneto cut off switches. These are not intended
to be removed once fitted.
Similarly, the rear seat rudder pedals are an option fit for instruction. These may only be
removed by an engineer, as these require disturbing a flight control.
Note that where the rear seat brake is fitted, the cable must be adjusted to allow the front
seat brake lever to go fully to its stops – or the brakes will bind on and hand ground
handling will be adversely affected.
