NORMAL PROCEDURES
RSUK0287_POH_Cavalon Revision 2, Issue Date 24.06.2015 4-8
WARNING
Before activating the pre-rotator, check area is clear.
WARNING
Prior to releasing the wheel brake, make sure that the control stick is fully aft, if
headwind component allows. A take-off run with flat rotor system may have
fatal consequences.
WARNING
With the rotor speed below green arc relative speed must be built-up carefully
to allow rotor speed to increase first. If the situation cannot be corrected, abort
take-off run.
CAUTION
Do not engage pre-rotator at too high engine RPM or until too high rotor RPM
as this will lead to pre-rotator drive damage.
CAUTION
Avoid overtorqing of the pre-rotator drive! Overtorqing will occur if RPM/power
is fed excessively or abruptly. In case of a stalling engine, release pre-rotator
button temporarily. Do not yank the throttle control while the clutch is engaged!
NOTE
Perform take-off into the wind and with least possible crosswind component.
NOTE
To avoid unintended engagement in flight the pre-rotator can only be activated
with the control stick in its most forward position.
