imbalance or during periods of intentional uncoordinated
flight maneuvres. During prolonged operation with the fuel
selector in either the LEFT or RIGHT position the fuel
balance and temperatures should be closely monitored.

minimum permissible fuel temperature!
CAUTION: In turbulent air it is strongly recommended
to use the BOTH position.
