CAUTION: After starting, if the oil gauge does not begin to show pressure
within 30 seconds in warm weather and about 60 seconds in very cold
weather, shut down engine and investigate cause. Lack of oil pressure indi-
cates loss of lubrication, which can cause severe engine damage. In this time
also consider the time the avionics suite needs to start displaying engine
information.

cases cause fire. Taxi over loose gravel at low engine speed to avoid dam-
age to the propeller tips.
WARNING: Maximum continuous engine speed for taxiing is 1800 RPM
on flat, smooth, hard surfaces. Power settings slightly above 1800 RPM are
permissible to start motion, for turf, soft surfaces, and on inclines. Use mini-

If the 1800 RPM taxi power limit and proper braking procedures are not ob-
