If the battery is not up to charge, recharge starting at a 4
ampere rate and finishing with a 2 ampere rate. Quick charges
are not recommended.
FUEL AND OIL REQUIREMENTS
Aviation Grade 91/96 Octane (minimum) fuel must be used
in the engine. Because the use of lower grades can cause
serious damage in a very short period of time, the engine war-
ranty is invalidated by such use.
The oil capacity of the Lycoming O-360-A4A is 8 quarts,
and the minimum safe quantity is 2 quarts. It is recommended
that the oil and oil filter be changed every 50 hours, or sooner
under unfavorable conditions. The following grades are recom-
mended for the specific temperatures:
Temperatures above 60° F S.A.E. 50
Temperatures between 30° and 90° F S.A.E. 40
Temperatures between 0° and 70° F S.A.E. 30
Temperatures below 10°F S.A.E. 20
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel screen in the strainer will require cleaning every
50 hour inspection. The strainer, located ahead of the firewall,
is accessible for cleaning by removal of the lower cowl. When
the strainer is reassembled after cleaning, a small amount of
grease applied to the gasket will facilitate assembly.
