WHAT TO DO IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
During the start sequence the Ecu will be in charge of everything, controlling temperature
and RPM. The only thing the user can do is to abort the sequence by lowering the trim in the
case that something abnormal (excessive flames in the exhaust, etc).
If a problem is detected, first:
Move the trim to the low position to abort the sequence.
If there is a fire in the engine and the problem is because the starter has failed or the
engine is seized (not turning),
IMMEDIATELY APPLY THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
through
the intake side of the engine, never trough the exhaust.
If there is a fire, but the rotor remains free to spin and the starter is OK, raise the trim
and stick to the full power position for 3 seconds, this will connect the starter manually to
ventilate the engine and extinguish the fire.
The throttle channel acts as a starter switch.
USE SHORT BURSTS OF STARTER. Using the starter for long time can destroy the
starter motor.

Verification of glow plug
StartOn:
Test of the starter

Running:
Engine working correctly, pilot have full control of engine power.
Stop:
Engine off.
Cooling:
Starter operating to cool the engine.
GlowBad:
Defective or disconnected glow plug.
StartBad:
