STARTING
Before starting the engine, make sure the surrounding area
is
cleatq.
It
is good practice to call "CLEAR" before en-
gaging the starter, and to direct the propeller blast to an
open area before running up the engine. To prevent pro-
peller damage, keep engine
RPM
low while operating on
loose gravel.
The continuous-flow fuel injector will spray fuel into the
intake ports whenever fuel is under pressure in the lines
and the mixture control
is
not at
IDLE
CUTOFF.
Under
these conditions fuel injects into the cylinders even when
the engine is not running.
Fuel-injected, engines have no
separate priming system as do carburetor-equipped en-
gines, but greater care is required during startingto pre-
vent over priming and flooding of fuel injected engines.
Do not keep the mixture control in the
FULL
RICHposition
for longer than a few seconds when starting the engine.
The starting checklist is recommendedfor normal starting
procedures; however, under extreme climatic conditions,
alter
the starting procedure to accommodate existing con-
ditions. If the engine does not start after
10
or
15
seconds
of cranking, discontinue cranking and allow the starter to
cool for approximately five minutes before cranking again.
Allowing the starter to cool intermittently
will
prolong starter
life.
