SECTION 4 - NORMAL PROCEDURES CESSNA
FAA APPROVED MODEL 182T
Should the engine tend to die after starting, turn on the auxiliary
fuel pump temporarily and adjust the throttle and/or mixture as
necessary to keep the engine running. In the event of over priming
or flooding, turn off the auxiliary fuel pump, open the throttle from
1/2 to full open, and continue cranking with the mixture full lean.
When the engine fires, smoothly advance the mixture control to full
rich and retard the throttle to desired idle speed.
If the engine is under primed (most likely in cold weather with a
cold engine) it will not fire at all, and additional priming will be
necessary.
After starting, if the oil pressure indicator does not begin to
indicate pressure within 30 seconds in the summer time and
approximately one minute in very cold weather, stop the engine and
investigate. Lack of oil pressure can cause serious engine damage.
NOTE
Additional details concerning cold weather starting and
operation may be found under COLD WEATHER
OPERATION paragraphs in this section.
Recommended starter duty cycle: Crank the starter for 10
seconds followed by a 20 second cool down period. This cycle can
be repeated two additional times, followed by a ten minute cool
down period before resuming cranking. After cool down, crank the
starter again, three cycles of 10 seconds followed by 20 seconds of
cool down. If the engine still fails to start, an investigation to
determine the cause should be initiated.
TAXIING
When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be
held to a minimum and that all controls be utilized (Refer to Figure
4-2, Taxiing Diagram) to maintain directional control and balance.
Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low
engine speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller
tips.
