The power lever should be moved slowly, in order to avoid

wooden propeller blades produce more rapid RPM changes

WARNING
In case of a malfunction of the engine control unit it is possible
that the propeller blades will remain in the position of highest
pitch. In this case the reduced engine performance should
be taken into consideration.
