SHOULDER HARNESSES.
Shoulder
harnesses are
provided
as standard
equipment for the pilot
and
front seat passenger,
and
as
optional equipment for the
rear
seat
passengers.
Each
front seat harness is attached
to a
rear
door
post just
above
window
line and
is
stowed above the cabin door. When stowed, the
har-
ness is
held in place
by two
retaining clips,
one
above the door and
one
at the
top of
the
forward
door post.
The
optional
rear
seat
shoulder
har-
nesses are attached
adjacent to the lower
corners
of
the
rear
window.
Each
rear
seat harness is
stowed behind a
retaining
clip located at the
bottom edge
of
the aft side window.
To
use the
front
and
rear
seat
shoulder
harnesses, fasten
and
adjust
the
seat belt
first.
Remove the
harness from
the stowed position,
and
lengthen
as required
by
pulling on the end
of
the
harness
and the
narrow
release strap.
Snap
the
harness metal
stud
firmly
into the
retaining slot
adjacent
to the
seat belt
buckle. Then
adjust
to
length
by
pulling
down on
the
free
end
of
the
harness.
A
properly
adjusted
harness
will
permit
the
occupant
to
lean
forward
enough to
sit
completely
erect
but
is
tight enough
to
prevent excessive forward
movement
and
contact with
objects during
sudden
deceleration.
Also, the pilot will want the
freedom
to
reach
all
controls easily.
Releasing
and
removing the shoulder harness. is accomplished
by
pulling upward
on
the
narrow release strap
and removing the
harness
stud
from
the
slot
in the
seat belt
buckle.
In
an emergency, the shoulder
harness
may
be
removed
by
releasing
the
seat belt first,
and
then pulling
the
harness
over the head
by
pulling
up on
the
release strap.
STARTING ENGINE.
Ordinarily
the engine
starts
easily
with
one
or
two
strokes
of
the
primer
in
warm
temperatures
to
six strokes
in
cold
weather
with the
throttle
open approximately 1/2 inch.
In
extremely
cold
temperatures
it may be
necessary
to continue priming while cranking. Weak
inter-
mittent firing
followed by puffs
of
black smoke from the exhaust
stack
indicate overpriming or flooding.
Excess
fuel can
be
cleared from
the
combustion
chambers
by the following
procedure:
Set the mixture
control
full
lean
and the
throttle
full open; then
crank
the engine through
several
revolutions with the
starter.
Repeat the
starting procedure
without any
additional
priming.
