Fuel system

•

Check both fuel tanks for their condition ensuring their
attachments are secure, there are no leaks, the filler caps
secure and the fuel level in the tanks corresponds to the fuel
level on the gauge. Ensure operation of the fuel shut-off valve
and check there is no water in the fuel settling tank.

•

Check the fuel system conduits for overall condition and that
they are not slit, rotten or bent.

•

Check that the fuel filters are not polluted with water.

Rotor

•

Check the rotor head, its condition and freedom of movement.·

•

Check the security of bolts and nuts securing the rotor blades

to the hub.·

•

Check visually blades for scratches, nicks, signs of cracks, or
other damage The blades must be clean.

•

Check that the rotor swings freely against the head and in the
full range between the stops.

Prerotation mechanism

•

Check the V-belts for damage or delamination.

•

Check the pre-rotation sheave for damage or cracks.

•

Check the rotor drive transmission rotates freely and is
lubricated.

•

Check the overall condition of the  pre-rotation mechanism for
cracks or other damage.

•

Check that the pre-rotation brake operates correctly - it should
block movement when pulling down the V-belts on the left
side. The clutch cable should have several millimetres of
clearance with no tension.

Cabin

•

Check the opening and closing of the doors to ensure that the
hinges and locks operate correctly.
