Start the engine (“Engine Start” instructions in OI-24, Chapter 7).
NOTE: If a small puff of smoke is emitted from the engine
immediately upon engine start-up, there may have been a small
amount of preservation oil remaining in the cylinders, induction
system, and/or fuel nozzles/lines. The smoke should quickly
dissipate; if smoke persists, shut down the engine (“Engine
Shutdown” in OI-24, Chapter 7) and investigate the cause.

Check the HSA panel for persistent annunciator lamp illuminations. If a lamp is lit,
address the cause.
