ENGINE CONTROLS
Engine manifold pressure is set using the throttle control. The throttle
control is a smooth black knob located at the center of the instrument
panel below the standby instruments. The throttle control is configured
so that the throttle is open in the forward position and closed in the full
aft position. A friction lock, located at the base of the throttle, is
operated by rotating the lock clockwise to increase friction or
counterclockwise to decrease friction.
Engine speed is controlled by the propeller control. The propeller
control is a fluted blue knob located immediately to the right of the
throttle control. This system is described under Propeller in this section.
Engine fuel mixture is controlled by the mixture control. The mixture
control is a red knob, with raised points around the circumference,
located immediately to the right of the propeller control and is equipped
with a lock button in the end of the knob. The rich position is full
forward, and full aft is the idle cutoff position. For small adjustments, the
control may be moved forward by rotating the knob clockwise, and aft
by rotating the knob counterclockwise. For rapid or large adjustments,
the knob may be moved forward or aft by depressing the lock button in
the end of the control, and then positioning the control as desired.
