3.0 Operating Instructions

3.1 Starting 

Perform pre-flight inspection: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fuel Valve: ON

Carburetor heat: OFF

Mixture: FULL RICH

If a boost pump is installed: ON

Throttle: CRACKED ABOUT ¼ TRAVEL

Prime: 

   

 

 

 

 

 

Ignition: Both  

Starter: ENGAGE

10 

Throttle: Set at 1000 RPM

11 

Oil Pressure: VERIFY MINIMUM OIL PRESSURE WITHIN 15-20 SECONDS

Check oil level.  The maximum oil level acceptable for flight is six quarts, and the 
minimum level is three quarts.  Some engines tend to throw oil out the breather if 
completely full.  Engine characteristics should be monitored to determine optimum oil 
level.  For best results, 4 quarts is recommended.

Visually look at all areas of the engine that can be seen through the cowling.  Check the 
breather line area to see if significant blow-by is evident.  Check the area behind the 
starter ring gear if possible to ensure that the front oil seal is not leaking.  Oil dripping 
from the cowling in any location, or even evidence on the ground that oil is leaking 
is cause for concern that should be addressed.  Ensure that the induction air filter is 
clear and intact.  Older foam type filters should be pinched to ensure that they are not 
deteriorating, which draws particles into the engine.  Integrity of the air filter system 
should be checked to ensure that dirt or other debris is not being drawn into the 
engine.  Make sure no obstructions such as bird nests or insect nests are in evidence.

If a pump primer is installed, then prime 1–4 strokes.  Each engine has an optimum 
prime depending on temperature, altitude, etc.  Experience with the engine will help 
establish this procedure.

If a pump is not installed, priming can be accomplished by pumping the throttle.  This 
is more effective in warmer climates.
