7.12.1 Engine Controls
Throttle
Engine power is controlled by a throttle located on the left and right sides of the instrument panel.
It is readily identified by smooth black cylindrical knobs. The throttle operates in the conventional
sense in that when fully forward the throttle is full open, and in the fully aft position, the throttle is
closed.
Choke
The choke is a push-pull control located in the centre of the lower section of the instrument panel
and is only used for engine starting. It is fitted with a black knob. The choke ON position is full
back, and full forward is choke OFF, or normal.
Carburettor Heat
The carburettor heat control is a push-pull control located in the centre of the lower section of the
instrument panel. With the control pushed fully forward (in), cold filtered air is selected. Fully aft
(heat ON) selects heated filtered air from a muff around the exhaust pipes. The knob is a
rectangular shape.
7.12.2 Engine Instruments
Engine operation is monitored by a tachometer, oil pressure and oil temperature, fuel pressure
and cylinder head temperature gauges. These instruments are located in the instrument panel in
front of the pilot and are marked with green arcs to indicate the normal operating range, yellow
arcs to indicate precautionary ranges and red lines at the maximum/minimum allowable limits.
These limits and gauge markings are also given in Section 2 of this manual.
7.12.3 Engine Oil System
Oil for engine lubrication is supplied from a sump at the bottom of the engine. The oil capacity of
the engine is 2.3 litres (2.02 US quarts). Oil is drawn from the sump through an oil suction
strainer screen into the engine driven oil pump. An adaptor on the engine underneath the oil filter
directs oil through the oil cooler. On returning to the engine, the oil passes through the full flow
replaceable element oil filter. The filtered oil then enters a pressure relief valve that regulates the
engine oil pressure by allowing excessive oil to return to the sump, while the remaining oil under
pressure is circulated to the various engine components for lubrication. Residual oil returns to the
sump by gravity flow.
An oil filler cap/dipstick is located on the top of the engine and is accessible through an access
door in the engine cowling. The dipstick is marked to show upper and lower oil level limits. To
minimise possible loss of oil through the breather, filling the sump to the low mark on the dipstick
instead of the high is sufficient for routine operations. The upper dipstick mark should be used
for flights of 3 hours endurance or longer. For engine oil grade and specifications, refer to
Section 2 of this manual. An oil pressure indicator is provided on the instrument panel.
WARNING
The oil level must be visible on the dip stick. Do not run the engine if the sump oil
level is below the bottom of the dipstick.
