button to switch of the warning.
- Stop the propeller with the manual propeller brake (handle on left side of
cockpit, see section 7.2)
- Center the propeller as exactly as possible in the retracting position by
varying the manual force on the handle of the propeller brake and hold the
propeller there.

- Retract the power plant with the emergency system.
CAUTION:
If it is not possible to hold the propeller exactly in the retracting
position, the power plant can still be retracted to a large extend. To
prevent damages to the airframe, the retraction has to be stopped, if
possible, as soon as the not properly aligned propeller touches audibly
the engine doors.
