FAA APPROVED MODEL 182T
NOTE
If the engine does not start during the first few attempts, or if
engine firing diminishes in strength, it is probable that the
spark plugs have been frosted over. Preheat must be used
before another start is attempted.
During cold weather operations, no indication will be apparent on
the oil temperature gage prior to takeoff if outside air temperatures
are very cold. After a suitable warm up period (2 to 5 minutes at
1000 RPM), accelerate the engine several times to higher engine
RPM. If the engine accelerates smoothly and the oil pressure re-
mains normal and steady, the airplane is ready for takeoff.
WINTERIZATION KIT
A winterization kit is provided and may be utilized when cold
weather operations are conducted.
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
Refer to the general warm temperature starting information under
Starting Engine in this section. Avoid prolonged engine operation on
the ground.
