NEARLY DEPLETED.
When using a 12-volt battery for external power starting and the airplane’s battery is nearly depleted, the
following procedure should be used:
1. Disconnect the airplane’s battery at the negative terminal to prevent excessive loading of the external
starting battery.
2. Check that all of the airplane’s electrical equipment is turned OFF.
3. Connect the external battery to the external power receptacle; turn master switch ON and start engine
using normal starting procedure.
4. Turn master switch OFF; remove external battery, and then reconnect the battery at the negative
