SECTION 2 CESSNA
AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION MODEL 162
GARMIN G300
U.S.
ENGINE
The airplane is powered by a normally aspirated, direct drive, air-
cooled, horizontally opposed, carbureted four cylinder engine with a
wet sump lubrication system. The engine is a Teledyne Continental O-
200-D rated at 100 horsepower at 2750 RPM. Major accessories
include a starter, gear-driven alternator, dual magnetos and a full flow
oil filter mounted on the rear of the engine accessory case.
ENGINE CONTROLS
Engine power is set using the throttle control. The throttle control is a
smooth black knob located at the center of the instrument panel. The
throttle control is configured so that the throttle is open in the forward
position and closed in the full aft position. A friction lock, located at the
base of the throttle control knob, is operated by rotating the lock
clockwise to increase friction or counterclockwise to decrease friction.
Engine fuel mixture is controlled by the mixture control. The mixture
control is a red knob, with raised points around the circumference,
located immediately to the right of the throttle control and is equipped
with a lock button in the end of the knob. The rich position is full
forward, and full aft is the idle cutoff position. For small adjustments, the
control may be moved forward by rotating the knob clockwise, and aft
by rotating the knob counterclockwise. For rapid or large adjustments,
the knob may be moved forward or aft by depressing the lock button in
the end of the mixture control knob, and then positioning the control as
desired.
