SECTION 7 CESSNA
NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 162
GARMIN G300
U.S.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
(Continued)
STARTING
(Continued)
Cold weather starting procedures are the same as the normal starting
procedures. Refer to Amplified Normal Procedures, Starting Engine in
this section. The amount of fuel priming required for engine start is
dependant upon temperature. The colder the engine, the more prime is
required. In extremely cold temperatures, it may be necessary to
continue priming while cranking the engine. If the engine is under
primed it will not fire at all, and additional priming will be necessary. As
soon as the cylinders begin to fire, open the throttle slightly to keep it
running. Use caution to prevent inadvertent forward movement of the
airplane during starting when parked on snow or ice.
CAUTION
HEAVY PRIMING AND THROTTLE PUMPING DURING
START INCREASES THE RISK OF INDUCTION SYSTEM
FIRE RESULTING FROM A BACKFIRE OR OTHER
ABNORMALITY DURING START. IN THE EVENT OF AN
ENGINE FIRE, CONTINUE CRANKING TO SUCK THE
FLAMES INTO THE ENGINE. REFER TO SECTION 6,
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, FIRES, DURING START
ON GROUND.
NOTE
If the engine does not start during the first few attempts, or
if engine firing diminishes in strength, the spark plugs may
be frosted over. Preheat must be used before another start
is attempted.
