When the airplane is not stored in a hangar, the air inlet should be covered
to protect the induction system from birds and debris. Install the control
locks, propeller bungee and exhaust covers.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Use appropriate covers on the aircraft when it is parked. Make certain the
compressor rotor is not frozen if the aircraft is in a freezing atmosphere.
To assure consistent starts below 4
C (40
F) cold weather fuels as
described in the limitations, Section 2, are recommended. Additionally, for
flight at ambient temperatures of 4
C (40
F) and below, the fuel must have
an anti-icing additive.
If equipment is available and conditions allow, when the aircraft has been
cold soaked at temperatures below 4
C (40
F), use an auxiliary power
source for faster, more satisfactory starts.
If the aircraft has been cold soaked at a temperature below –18
C (0
F)
and a battery start must be made, preheat the engine fuel control and
battery. When a cold weather start is anticipated, the battery should be
removed and stored at normal room temperature.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME HEATER TO
PREHEAT THE BATTERY OR THE ENGINE FUEL
CONTROL.
NOTE
Variations in jet fuels can affect engine lightoff in cold
ambient conditions. The engine may experience a
short delay before lightoff after the Fuel Cutoff
Control is moved to the RUN position. This delay
should be less than three seconds regardless of the
type of fuel used. If the lightoff delay exceeds three
seconds, return the Fuel Cutoff Control to CUTOFF
and continue to motor the engine with the starter for
thirty seconds to purge unburned fuel from the
engine.
