WARNING
Physically verify the fuel level before each take-off. Fuel can be visibly
seen, through the filler cap, just covering the (total) bottom of the fuel
tank with 30 litres present.
NOTES
a.
DO NOT fill the coolant level to the max mark on the overflow
bottle mounted to the firewall. Its best practice to have the fluid
level just above the min mark when cold. If there is any doubt
about fill level, remove the radiator cap (only when cold) to verify
fluid presence.
CAUTION
During the pull-through,
make sure the ignition/magnetos are OFF.
Always handle the propeller blade area with the palm of your hand, and
not only the tips of your fingers.
