9.3. EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
On the right side of the tail cone, an external power is present. Using this device it
is possible to feed the electric system directly on the main bus bar, by an external
power source. It should be used at the engine start-up in cold weather condition.
A white advisory “EXT. POWER” label will appear on Garmin PFD display upon
connection of external power in order to advise pilot; the label will disappear up-
on disconnection of ground external power.
CAUTION
Exercise caution while applying external power.
Exercise extreme caution while disconnecting external power with
engine running due to airflow coming from the propeller.
Approach the power supply receptacle from rear of the wing.
Make a positive check, upon disconnection, that:
- the power chord is free from any aircraft structure
- the receptacle is firmly closed.
Follow this procedure to start the engine using the external power source.

2. Open the receptacle door and insert the external power source’s plug into the
socket
3. Engine start-up procedure (see Sect. 4 in this manual)
