Use of external power

completely depleted battery and no engine indication is not advised.
WARNING
The external power connection and disconnection is only possible with the
outside person temporarily out of sight from pilot station. If an outside
person is used a clear coordination before the operation between the pilot
and the outside help is mandatory. The outside person is advised to
always keep one hand on the left wing leading edge as visible sign to the
pilot of a save position. Under no circumstances the outside person shall
move other than along the leading edge when engine is running. Removal
of the external power connection with engine running is not advised.

Engine starting
NOTE
The engine manufacturer limits engine starting to an ambient
temperature below 50°C and oil temperature above -25°C. Note that the
engine ambient (inside cowling) is not identical to outside air.
NOTE
Engine cranking power surge, especially in cold and low battery state
conditions causes supply voltage drop to the indication. To prevent loss
of indication during start the back-up battery is used.
