Oil level check :
To avoid overfilling of oil tank, and high oil consumption, an oil level check is
recommended within 30 minutes after engine shutdown. Ideal interval is 15 to
20 minutes. If more than 30 minutes have passed and the dipstick indicates
that oil is needed, start the engine and run at LO--IDLE for five minutes, and
recheck oil level.
Check oil level against marking on dipstick and top--up as required. Normal
oil level is between MAX HOT and one US quart (0.83 Imp. Quart, 0.95 litres)
below MAX HOT, with engine in horizontal attitude.
NOTE :
Filling the oil to the maximum level may result in high consumption rate, with
the oil exiting through the accessory gearbox breather.
CAUTION
WHEN FILLER CAP ASSEMBLY IS INSTALLED AND LOCKED, NO
MOVEMENT IS ALLOWED
FUEL
Total capacity each tank : 150.5 us gal (570 l).
NOTE :
To minimize condensation, it is recommended that airplane be refueled after
each flight, respecting weight and balance limits.
CAUTION
NEVER FLY THE AIRPLANE WITH CONTAMINATED (WATER, SAND,
RUST, DUST...) OR UNAPPROVED FUEL
Before each flight and after each fueling, use a sampler to bleed off some fuel
through each tank and fuel filter drain to detect possible contamination and
be sure that fuel used is the proper quality. If contamination is present,
continue draining through all draining points until fuel is free of contamination.
If quality of fuel used is not correct, defuel airplane completely and refuel with
proper quality fuel.
