Starter: ENGAGE
10
Throttle: Set at 1000 RPM
11
Oil Pressure: VERIFY MINIMUM OIL PRESSURE WITHIN 15-20 SECONDS
a
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.
b
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.
a
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.
b
If a pump is not installed, priming can be accomplished by pumping the throttle. This
is more effective in warmer climates.
