9.2-6 WEIGHT AND BALANCE
The Equipment List and Empty Weight and Balance data must reect this
propeller installation.
NOTE: Do not move the power lever from this position after the engine
stops.
CAUTION: If the propeller fails to engage the start locks (due to
misalignment of the power lever) the blades will slowly move into the
feather position. The propeller control must be moved to the FEATHER
position prior to starting the engine or considerable thrust will be produced
upon engine start as the propeller unfeathers rather than the anticipated
zero thrust.
