4.1 Pre-start Inspection
1. Perform "Pre-flight check" (refer to Chapter 6, Section 6.1,
Page 2 of this Manual)
2. Check fuel, oil and coolant quantities (refer to the aircraft
manufacturer´s specifications)
3. Fuel shut-off valve - "OPEN"
4. Main switch for electrical system - "ON"
5. Check whether the load selector moves freely, check load
indicator: at 0 speed, load must be shown as 0%. The load
indicator is described in your Pilot´s Operating Handbook.
WARNING: For operation with diesel, the aircraft must not be started if the
temperature of the fuel in the tank is below -5°C (-10°C if
Liqui Moly „Diesel Fliess-Fit“, No.: 5130 is added according to
the manufacturer’s specifications).
If you do not know what fuel grade is in the tank, always assume
it is additive-free Diesel.
WARNING: No coolant loss may occur during operation! Any coolant loss
must immediately be followed by a technical inspection by an
authorized person. Coolant loss could result in engine
malfunction, which can lead to engine failure!
Note: All speed-related data in the operation and maintenance manual
refer to propeller speeds unless otherwise specified explicitly as
engine speeds.
