Feathering the engine, if engine does not start:
WARNING
One attempt to feather the engine results in a loss of altitude
of up to 500 ft. Do not attempt to feather the engine if the
altitude is insufficient to execute the procedure.
CAUTION
If the propeller does not feather after the first attempt, do not
carry out further attempts to feather the propeller to avoid
further loss of altitude.

In order to feather the propeller the propeller RPM must be

of the start locks will not disengage and the propeller will keep
wind-milling.
