WARNING!

Visual fuel quantity indicator (tubes) in cockpit do not always provide relevant

information about the actual fuel quantity on board. Because of wing dihedral, angle of attack,

sideslip and reservoir supply point the readout may be incorrect. Flying with less than 1.5 Inch

(30 mm) (see red marking!) of indicated fuel (measured from the bottom of the tube upwards in

any of the reservoirs) is therefore regarded as hazardous any may result in engine fuel starvation

and/or engine failure.

CAUTION!

Due to the position of the fuel reservoir supply point, flying in considerable sideslip

for a long time may result in fuel starvation to the engine if the fuel tank in the opposite direc-

tion of the sideslip is closed. Should this occur, righten the flight and re-open the fuel tank in

question immediately to prevent engine failure.

Draining of water and/or particles is carried out by draining the contents of the gascolator, installed

below the bottom engine cover and reachable through a dedicated placarded opening. Unscrew the

discharge valve and drain at least 1 cup of fuel in a transparent canister, verify for water/particle con-

tamination. Always fasten the draining valve before flight!

When using the single point fuel valve, found below the cowl opening (placarded), make sure you

have closed it before flight. The single point fuel valve can either be used for fuelling the aircraft by

using a pump and container, or for discharging all of the fuel on board before disassembling the

aeroplane.

Electrical system

Dual electronic ignition. Standard, 12 V circuit charges the battery and

provides power to all appliances and instruments.

master switch:

key type

avionics switch:

avionics active with key position II

ignition switches:

separated for each system

other switches:

fused and equipped with control lights

battery:

12 V, 10 Ah

measured power

consumption of some

circuit breakers:

Landing light: 4.5 A,

Nav/Strobe lights: 1 (steady) - 2 (peak) A , Cockpit light: 0.5 A,

Radio & Transponder, EFIS, autopilots:

Please consult item’s operating manual

Characteristic are separate magneto switches in form two toggle switches and a key-type three

stage master switch, which also operated as the avionics switch. Therewith are individual fused rock-

er switches used to control individual electrical loads (radio, transponder, lights, efis, ems, autopilot,

etc.).

The only electrical load which can be used without the master switch in either ALL ON or ENGINE

only position is the 12 V plug, all other loads function only when the master (key) is in the ALL ON

position.

The position I (ENGINE ONLY) is there to provide continuous operation of the engine in case of emer-

gency, where all other electrical load (12 V plug is the exception) are disengaged.
