Oil level check
To avoid overfilling of oil tank, and high oil consumption, an oil level check is
recommended within 30 minutes after engine shutdown. Ideal interval is 15 to
20 minutes. If more than 30 minutes have passed and the dipstick indicates that oil is
needed, start the engine and run at LO-IDLE for five minutes, and recheck oil level.
Check oil level against marking on dipstick and top-up as required. Normal oil level is
between MAX HOT and one US quart (0.83 Imp. Quart, 0.95 litres) below MAX HOT,
with engine in horizontal attitude.
●
NOTE
●
Filling the oil to the maximum level may result in high consumption rate, with the
oil exiting through the accessory gearbox breather.

CAUTION
▲
When filler cap assembly is installed and locked, no movement is
allowed.
▲
Fuel
Total capacity each tank : 150.5 USG (570 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 contamination is 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.
