The powerplant instruments are located on the instrument panel on the co-
pilot's side. The ignition switch is present in form of a key switch. The
ignition is turned on by turning the key to position BOTH. The starter is
operated by further turning against spring load to the right (position
START). The engine is shut off by the ignition switch.
Due to the backlash in the reduction gear, the propeller can be easily turned
approximately 30° by hand. Sudden throttle movements should be avoided
to prevent impact load in the gearbox.
