6.6 CHECKING OIL LEVEL
Before checking the oil level, be sure the ignition switch is OFF. The oil level
should be checked with the aircraft in level attitude.
Remove the oil tank cap, turn the propeller in the correct direction of
rotation until you hear the oil gurgle in the tank. Insert the cleaned dipstick
fully for measurement and verify the oil level.
The oil level should be in the upper half (between the “50%” and the max.
mark) and should never fall below the min. mark.
Difference between “min” and “max” mark is 0.45 lt (0.12 gal).
6.7 CHECKING COOLANT LEVEL
Check the coolant level with engine cold!
Open the black expansion tank and verify it is full. The white tank should be
approximately in the middle.
Coolant type: Mixture antifreeze concentrate coolant and water; 50% -
50%.
