If the engine does not fire within five to ten seconds, disengage
the starter, prime the engine and repeat the starting procedure.
Starting Engine When Hot
Open the throttle approximately 1/2 inch. Turn ON the master
switch and the electric fuel pump. Move the mixture control lever
to full RICH and engage the starter by rotating the magneto switch
clockwise. When the engine fires, release the magneto switch and
move the throttle to the desired setting.
Starting Engine When Flooded
The throttle lever should be full OPEN. Turn ON the master
switch and turn OFF the electric fuel pump. Move the mixture
control lever to idle cut-off and engage the starter by rotating the
magneto switch clockwise. When the engine fires, release the
magneto switch, advance the mixture and retard the throttle.
Starting Engine With External Power Source
An optional! feature called the Piper External Power (PEP)
allows the operator to use an external battery to crank the engine
without having to gain access to the airplane’s battery.
Turn the master switch OFF and turn all electrical equipment
OFF. Connect the RED lead of the PEP kit jumper cable to the
POSITIVE (+) terminal of an external 12-volt battery and the
BLACK lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. Insert the plug of the
jumper cable into the socket located on the fuselage. Note that when
the plug is inserted, the electrical system is ON. Proceed with the
normal starting technique.
After the engine has started, reduce power to the lowest possible
RPM, to reduce sparking, and disconnect the jumper cable from the
aircraft. Turn the master switch ON and check the alternator
ammeter for an indication of output. DO NOT ATTEMPT
FLIGHT IF THERE IS NO INDICATION OF ALTERNATOR
OUTPUT.
