Refill through the system filling inlet which is located on the engine upper rear
part. A gage located on the filling cap indicates oil level and is calibrated in
quarts to maximum level under cold conditions ”MAX COLD” and to
maximum level under hot conditions ”MAX HOT”. Normal oil level is
approximately one quart below maximum level.
To avoid over servicing of oil tank and high oil consumption, check oil level
within 10 minutes after engine shutdown.
If more than 10 minutes but less than 30 minutes have passed and the
dipstick indicates that oil is needed, carry out a normal dry motoring cycle and
reverify level before adding oil.
If more than 30 minutes have passed and the dipstick indicates that oil is
needed, start the engine and run at ground idle (low idle) for 5 minutes.
Reverify oil level before adding oil.
FUEL
Total capacity each tank : 145.3 us gal (550 l).
NOTE :
To minimize condensation, it is recommended that airplane be refueled after
each flight, respecting weight and balance limits.
CAUTION
NEVER FLY THE AIRPLANE WITH CONTAMINATED (WATER, SAND,
RUST, DUST...) OR UNAPPROVED FUEL
Before each flight and after each fueling, use a sampler to bleed off some fuel
through each tank and fuel filter drain to detect possible contamination and
be sure that fuel used is the proper quality. If there is contamination present,
continue draining through all draining points until fuel is free of contamination.
If quality of fuel used is not correct, defuel airplane completely and refuel with
proper quality fuel.
