4.4.2 STARTUP AND TAXI
4.4.2.1 Before Starting the Engine
Adjust the pilot seat using the pins on the sides of the
seat-base. The pins must be securely installed prior to
flight. Adjust the straps to accommodate the passenger.
Make certain the forward bar under the passenger seat
does not conflict with the control systems. Seat belts
should be fastened and the passenger briefed. Close the
door. Engage the parking brakes, which are individual
valves located on each brake master cylinder. Ensure
that the fuel selector is in the BOTH position. Verify that
the avionics master switch is off and ensure that the
propeller area is clear.
4.4.2.2 Starting the Engine
Turn the master switch on. Push the mixture control in to
full rich. If the engine is cold, it may be desirable to prime

unlocks, pull it out, allowing the pump to fill with fuel, and
push it in, normally three times (more priming may be
required in colder weather). After priming, make sure the
control is locked. Open the throttle 1/2 inch. Verify the
propeller area is clear and engage the starter. Oil
pressure should rise within 30 seconds; otherwise, shut
the engine down. Turn on any lights that may be
required. The avionics master may now be switched on
and the radios tuned, as necessary.
4.4.2.3 Starting Engine when Flooded
The throttle should be in the full open position. Turn the
master switch on. The mixture control should be in the
idle cut-off position. Verify the propeller area is clear and
engage the starter. As soon as the engine starts, move
the mixture control to the rich position and retard the
