WARNING
The airplane does not lend itself to hand starting
(propping) due to its tricycle gear. This practice is
very dangerous.
ACCESSORIES
The engine is equipped with two alternators as sources of electrical
power to charge the batteries and operate various items during flight.
Proper operation of the charging system is evident if the running
system voltage is between 27.6 and 28.4 volts DC. Since a charged
lead-acid battery has a voltage of 24.2 to 24.8 volts the battery should
be continuously charging while the engine is running.
FIRE DETECTION & EXTINGUISHING
No built in fire detection is provided nor is an extinguishing system. A
fire extinguisher is located under the forward portion of the pilot seat.
It should be checked regularly and kept handy in case of need.
Starting an over primed engine is the most likely time you may need
the unit. If the engine backfires and catches fire, continue cranking the
engine and attempt to draw the fire back into the engine where it
belongs. If the radio is on, advise your situation. If cranking the
engine fails, or cranking is not possible for some reason, introduce the
contents of the extinguisher into the engine compartment via the
cooling inlets and remain clear of the aircraft. While your aircraft is
made of fire resistant materials and its fumes are essentially non-toxic,
it is, nonetheless, a flying fuel tank and must be treated as such.
ABNORMAL OPERATION
After a few hours of operating this airplane you will become familiar
with its operation from its flight controls to the engine. It is good
practice to make written notes of how it is operating so that you can
spot changes. These may be toward stabilizing or deteriorating
indications and need watching. From the engine’s standpoint, oil
consumption for example will be high on a new engine and decrease
over the first 15 to 50 hours and then stabilize. From this point it
should remain stable for many hours until the rings begin to deteriorate
with a corresponding increase in oil consumption. Should piston rings
begin to stick an increase in consumption will generally be noted and
corrective actions or repairs can be made in a timely manner.
Continuous monitoring of engine parameters such as oil pressure, CHT
and EGT (individual and spreads) along with airspeed, altitude,
temperature and power setting for example will be rewarded by an
intimate knowledge of your engine, as well as reduced maintenance and
vastly increased reliability.
