Check tow release clutch to assure proper function and clean
condition.
7.2 Take-Off
During take-off, special care has to be taken that the climb rate and
airspeed are adopted are to the required values of the towed glider.
Watch your rate of climb immediately after take-off (do not exceed
the gliders climb capability)!
To maintain permissible water- and oil temperatures during climb
and descent, the aircraft must be equipped with an oil temperature
regulation flap. During climb the operating lever of this flap should be
in the "open/cooler" position.
