position, but provides adequate condenser cooling from
the airstream. The air conditioner condenser-extended
warning light is not illuminated in the flight extension posi-
tion.
When the air conditioner is turned off, the condenser re-
turns to the retracted position, the position which produces
minimum drag.
For cooling, cabin air is drawn into the evaporator module
plenum below the forward edge of the left front seat. When
cabin ambient air at a temperature of approximately 90" F
passes over the evaporator coils the temperature of the air
is reduced to approximately 56°F, then the evaporator
module electric blower forces the cooled air through outlet
ducting to adjustable louvers below the control console.
The cabin air continues to circulate as described until the
air conditioner is turned off.
After engine start the air conditioner may be turned on by
actuating a three-way toggle switch on the control console
below the center of the upper subpanel. Either a high or a
low blower speed may be selected, and the airflow can be
distributed by moving the adjustable louvers up and down
and from side to side.
Before takeoff make certain that the air conditioner is off
and that the air conditioner condenser-extended warning
light is extinguished. Pressing the warning light test button
on the instrument panel will verify that the bulb is function-
ing.
After takeoff with the landing gear retracted and the
airplane clear of all obstacles, the air conditioner may be
turned on if desired.
The air conditioner should be turned off before engine
shutdown.
