HEATING
AND
VENTILATING
SYSTEM
Heat
for the cabin interior and the defroster system
is
provided by a
shroud attached to the muffler (Figure 7-19). The amount
of
heat can
be
regulated with the controls located on the far right side
of
the instrument
panel.
The
a.irflow between front and rear seats can be regulated by the heat
diversion controls located on either side
of
the console
atop
the heat ducts.
CAUTION
When cabin heat
is
operated, heat duct surface
becomes hot. This could result in burns if arms
or
legs
are placed
too
close
to
heat duct outlets
or surface.
Fresh
air
inlets are located in the leading edges
of
the wings near the
fuselage. At each front seat location there
is
an
adjustable fresh air outlet on
the side
of
the cabin near the floor. Rear seat vents are optional. Cabin air
is
exhausted through
an
outlet located below the rear seat.
An optional overhead ventilating system with outlets over each seat
is
also available. An additional
option
to aid in fresh air circulation
on
models
without air conditioning is a cabin air blower to force air through the over-
head vent system. This blower
is
operated by a fan switch with four positions-
OFF,
LOW,
MED,
and HIGH. The switch
is
located
on
the right side
of
the
instrument panel with the heater and defroster controls.
