The starter may be switched on continuously for 10 sec., maximum.
Subsequently, it needs to be allowed to cool for at least 2 min. When
starter is working the “STARTER ENGAGED” light is illuminated.
NOTE
After completing the engine start, check whether the oil
pressure starts to rise within 10 sec. The speed of the engine
may be increased, only when the oil pressure is stabilised
above 2 bar (29 psi).
CAUTION
To avoid damage to battery or starter, never keep the starter
switched on for longer than 10 sec. Allow at least 2 min. before
switching on again. Never switch the starter on if the propeller
has not stopped rotating. Do not start the engine when the
battery is weak – this may cause damage to the engine starting
system. Proper propeller rotation is evidence of good condition
of the battery. Otherwise, switch off the engine, the starter and
battery switches and have the fault repaired.
