2 - INSTRUMENTS
The aluminium instrument panel (see Fig. E-4) is sub-divided in three distinct ar-
eas: The left area holds flight instruments, the right area holds engine controls and
the central area can holds nav/com instruments (if installed). The lower portion of
the instrument panel holds:
-
switches for magneto and navigation, landing and strobe light if installed;
-
flap switch and circuit protection fuses;
-
throttle knobs.
Individual instruments may be accessed for removal by releasing screw located next
to magnetic compass and sliding instrument panel protective cover along railings.
Before removing individual instruments, use particular care in disconnecting wires,
hoses or other links as the case applies.
When installing instruments, follow recommendations below:
1)
Do not over-tighten bolts as plastic instrument casing may break.
2)
Insure hoses are free of any foreign matter and that no tight radius turns are pre-
sent as this may choke hose or cause malfunction.
3)
Insure proper grounding and tightening of all electrical instruments.
