One of the first steps in obtaining the utmost performance, service,
and flying enjoyment from your Cessna is to familiarize yourself with your
airplane's equipment, systems, and controls. This can best be done by
reviewing this equipment while sitting in the airplane. Those items whose
function and operation are not obvious are covered herein.
ENGINE CONTROLS.
THROTTU, MIXTURE AND
PROPELLER CONTROLS.
The push-pull throttle incorporates
a lock button to secure it in any de-
sired setting. To operate the throttle,
depress the lock button, then adjust
the control knob as necessary. Re-
lease pressure on the lock button to
lock the control. To make minor
adjustments simply screw the control
in or out without pressing the button.
The push-pull mixture control in-
corporates a lock button to prevent
inadvertent leaning or shutting off
the fuel supply. To operate the con-
trol , depress the lock button, then
push the knob in for rich mixture or
pull it out for lean mixture. Pulling
the knob all the way out is idle cutoff
for stopping the engine. Release
pressure on the lock button to lock
the control. To make minor adjust-
ments simply screw the control in
or out without preSSing the button.
The propeller control is the push-
pull type and changes the setting of
the propeller governor to regulate
engine speed. It is identical, in
operation, to the mixture control.
Pushing the knob forward increases
RPM; pulling the knob out decreases
RPM.
For all ground operations, and for
take-off , the propeller control should
be full in (high RPM). After take-
off, reduce throttle first, then reduce
RPM. Since a small control move-
ment will produce a considerable
RPM change, you should set up climb
and cruise RPM by screwing the knob
in or out.
Propeller surging (RPM variation
up and down several times before en-
gine smooths out and becomes steady)
can be prevented by smooth throttle
and propeller control knob operation.
Do not change the throttle and pro-
peller control settings with jerky and
rapid motions.
