5.0 CHECKS ON ENGINE & INSTALLATION
5.1 Daily Checks
* Ensure free movement of throttle & choke cables.
* Check Oil Level, replenish if necessary. Oil level should be between the MAX & MIN
marks - but must never be below the MIN mark. Before long periods of operation,
ensure that the level is at least at the mid position. Difference in the oil quantity
between MAX & MIN mark is 0.75 litres (0.792 US Quarts).
* Check security of spark plugs, leads & electrical connections.
* Check lubrication & fuel system for leaks.
* Check exhaust system for security & leaks.
* With Ignition & Master OFF and throttle closed, turn propeller by hand & observe
engine for odd noises or heavy movements. Check for regular compression. If irregular,
firstly check tappet adjustment (see para 6.8).
IMPORTANT
Prior to pulling through the propeller by hand, both ignition circuits & the Master must be
switched OFF, the brakes applied, throttle closed & the cockpit attended by a trained
person.
WARNING
A hot engine may fire with the ignition/s switched OFF.
CAUTION
Continued operation with incorrectly adjusted tappets will result in damage to valves,
valve seats, valve guides & overhead gear.
* Prior to takeoff - follow the Starting & Warm Up procedure, observe the engine
behaviour & throttle response.
* Check temperatures & pressures. Conduct a short ground test at full power (10 seconds
Max.) (consult aircraft Flight Manual).
