4.4.8.2 Choke
The choke is usually required on the first start of the day or when the
temperature is near 0°C or lower. To activate, pull the choke handle out
and turn it counter-clockwise to about the 10 o’clock position (if such a type
of choke lever is installed). When the engine starts, allow it to run with full
choke for 30 sec to 1 minute and then slowly reverse the procedure and
push the handle in fully. The engine may hesitate or stop while doing this
so increase the throttle slightly to keep the engine running. Make small
throttle adjustments to avoid increasing the RPM above the recommended
maximums stated in the Aircraft Operating Instructions section on engine
starting. Ensure the choke is completely off before take off is attempted.
