1 GENERAL
The induction air for the engine enters through a filter on the lower side of the cowling.
Alternatively, the pilot may use the carburetor heat control, which operates a butterfly valve that
allows heated, unfiltered air to feed into the carburetor. The carburetor heat control is located on
the instrument panel.
CAUTION
Ground operations with the carburetor heat control in the hot position
must be limited because it allows air to bypass the filter.
Should the air filter become obstructed, the carburetor air control provides an alternate manual
means of supplying the engine with air for the induction system.
