is placed in the on position. Conservative use of airplane battery
power for fuel quantity indication is permissible.
(c) Momentarily hold fuel quantity repeater-indicator (gage) test switch in test
position to test indicators; pointers will move towards zero, when switch is
released, pointers will return to original quantity.
(d) Monitor main tank fuel quantity indicators (or magnetic dripless fuel
measuring sticks, if fuel quantity indicators are inoperative).
(e) Continue fueling until desired fuel load in each main tank is attained.
