7.14 SEAT BELTS AND SHOULDER HARNESSES
Both seat positions are equipped with retractable three-point
integrated seat belt/shoulder harnesses with inertia reels.
To use the seat belts/shoulder harness, position the adjustable
metal link on the harness at about shoulder level, pull the link and
harness downward, and insert the link into the lower seat belt
buckle. Adjust belt tension across the lap by pulling upward on the
shoulder harness. Release the belt by pressing inward on the red
release button, which will allow the inertia reels to pull the harness
back into the retracted position.
7.15 FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel is contained in a single 20-gallon tank located under the
baggage floor behind the seats. The fuel quantity indicating system
uses an auto-calibrating float-type fuel level sensor that is accurate
to within ± one gallon in coordinated, straight and level,
unaccelerated flight. A separate fuel level sensing system will
activate a red LED warning light on the fuel quantity gauge when
less than two gallons of fuel remain.
A fuel filler cap is located on the left side of the fuselage exterior,
just aft of the cockpit. There is small tube within the fuel filler neck
that allows fuel to be drawn up from the sump at the bottom of the
tank for removal of contaminants and inspection.
A fuel shutoff valve is located in the overhead console. The valve is
normally left open but can be closed during certain emergency
situations. Two electric fuel pumps, one powered and controlled by
each lane (A & B) of the Engine Management System (EMS) provide
redundant positive-pressure fuel flow from the tank to the 912iSc2
Sport engine. A fuel quantity gauge calibrated from 0 to 20 gallons
is mounted on the lower left portion of the secondary instrument
cluster.
NOTE: Do not run the electric boost pumps (i.e. do
not turn the ignition key) with the fuel shutoff
valve in the closed position or pump damage
could result.
Fuel feeds by gravity to the bottom of the fuel tank where the sump
and fuel pickup for the engine are located. The fuel tank is shaped
