Imprimer la page− Starting (manual engine start)
•
Fill the tank with a mixture of premium petrol (GB), gas(oline) (U.S.) and (50:1 mixture
ratio) 2% synthetic oil (Recommended oil - CASTROL TTS).
•
Open the fuel valve. Use the primer bulb on the fuel hose to prime the engine.
•
Use the choke when the engine is cold.
•
Place the throttle lever and foot pedal in the "idle" position.
Warning: The only safe way to state whether the engine is in the idle position is to
listen for the typical sound of the throttle valve closing. Move the throttle lever back
and forth to idle position to check. Do not start the engine until you have heard this
sound: the control cable may need adjustment or may have jammed. Both are
dangerous and a complete loss of control of the aircraft may result when starting.
•
Select the parking brake with the rack sets on the pedal.
•
Set the ignition switch to "ON" with the interrupter located behind the hand throttle.
•
Make sure that no one is standing close to the propeller and say out loud: "Clear
prop" then pull the starter rope.
•
The high reduction ratio of the 582 S engines and the inertia of the propeller require a firm,
powerful pull on the starter cord. Starting may be facilitated by 2 or 3 injections with the
primer mounted on the engine support.
•
After the engine has come up to working temperature, make sure both ignitions work
independently by reversing the contactor set in front of the switch breaker box (Central
position = ignition 1 + ignition 2), under the hand throttle. After the test, set the switch back
to the central position 1+2.
WARNING: For liquid cooling engine fitted out with a radiator under the lower beam of
the trike, avoid a long-continued ground-run of the engine to prevent overheating due to
lack of airflow wind particularly if the outdoor temperature is high.
− Inboard settling
WARNING: an accident may occur while getting on board if the throttle lever is
involuntarily moved forward. To eliminate this possibility, we recommend to get on board
by the left handside of the trike and to be careful not to bump into the hand throttle on
the right handside of the trike.
•
The positions of the front fork and the passenger foot-rest are adjustable for every one's
comfort. Two holes situated on the lower beam of the trike allow for an adjustment of the
fork and the pedals. For the passenger foot-rest, install the tube by positioning it above or
under the lower beam. For dual control use, each modification in positioning the fork also
involves changing the length of the dual control link tube operation in the appropriate holes
set at the ends.
• For a single-seater use, the movable luggage bag can be placed instead of the passenger
foam seat, held by straps and Velcro fastenings. This bag is also usable as a back seat for
the pilot, with the incorporated cardboard and rib. The load of the luggage bag set at the
passenger place is limited to 25 kg (55 lbs.). It can be folded against the upper beam to be
used as a back of seat for the passenger during two-seater flight.
• Step on the non-skid part of the lower beam in front of the seat frame to embark on the rear
seat; do not use the dual control footrest.
• 4.5 lbs of varied tools can be placed in the pocket situated under the seat. The side bags
have a carrying capacity of 11 lbs each (i.e. 5 kg each, material and luggage).
