STOPPING ENGINE
At the pilot's discretion, the flaps should be raised and the electric
fuel
pump turned OFF. The air conditioner and radios should be turned OFF,
and the engine stopped by disengaging the mixture control lock and pulling
the mixture control back
to idle cut-off. The throttle should be left full aft
to avoid engine vibration while stopping. Then the magneto and master
switches must be turned
OFF. ·
NOTE
When alternate fuels are used, the engine
should be run up to
1200 RPM for one minute
prior to shutdown to clean out any unburned
fuel.
NOTE
The flaps must be placed in the UP position
for the flap step
to support weight. Passengers
should
be cautioned accordingly.
4.35 PARKING
If necessary, the airplane should be moved on the ground with the aid of
the nose wheel tow bar provided with each airplane and secured behind the
rear seats. The aileron and stabilator controls should
be secured by looping
the safety belt through the control wheel and pulling it snug. The flaps are
locked when
in the UP position and should be left retracted.
Tie downs can
be secured to rings provided under each wing and to the
tail skid. The rudder
is held in position by its connections to the nose wheel
steering and normally does not have to be secured.
