CHEROKEE "D"
SECTION Ill
ENGINE POWER LOSS
The most common cause of engine power loss is mismanage-
ment of the fuel. Therefore, the first step to take after engine
power loss is to move the fuel selector valve to the tank not
being used. This will often keep the engine running even if there
is no apparent reason for the engine to stop on the tank being
used.
If changing to another tank does not restore the engine:
1. Check fuel pressure and turn on electric fuel pump if off.
2.
Push mixture control to full "RICH."
3. Check ignition switch. Turn to best operating magneto -
left, right, or both.
MOORING
The Cherokee should be moved on the ground with the aid
of the nose wheel tow-bar provided with each plane and secured
in the baggage compartment. Tie down ropes may be secured to
rings provided under each wing and to the tail skid. The aileron
and stabilator controls should be secured by looping the safety
belt through the control wheel and pulling it tight. The rudder is
held in position by its connections to the nose wheel steering
and normally does not have to be secured. The flaps are locked
when in the full up position and should be left retracted.
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
It is the responsibility of the owner and pilot to determine
that the airplane remains within the allowable, weight vs. center
of gravity envelope while in flight. For weight arid balance data
see the Airplane Flight Manual and Weight and Balance form
supplied with each airplane.
