STARTING ENGINE (DA 40 F only)
(a) Cold engine
1. Strobe light (ACL) .................................................................................... ON
2. Mixture ........................................................................................ fully RICH
3. Electrical fuel pump ...................................................... ON, note pump noise
..................................................................................(=functional check of pump)
4. Throttle .............................................................. ¼ travel forward from IDLE
5. Prime ................................................................ 1 – 4 seconds (electric pump)
WARNING
Use the primer system to prepare the engine for a starting attempt. Do not
use the throttle to pump fuel through the carburetor to the engine for
priming since this may lead to carburetor fire. The primer system delivers
fuel to the cylinders directly.
CAUTION
The priming system is not intended for operation in flight.
WARNING
Before starting the engine, the pilot must ensure that the propeller area is
free, and no persons can be endangered.
CAUTION
Do not overheat the starter motor. Do not operate the starter motor for more
than 10 seconds. After operating the starter motor, let it cool off for 20
seconds. After 6 attempts to start the engine, let the starter cool for 30
minutes before further start attempts.
CAUTION
The use of an external pre-heater and external power source is
recommended whenever possible, in particular at ambient temperatures
below 0°C (32°F), to reduce wear and abuse to the engine and electrical
system. Pre-heat will thaw the oil trapped in the oil cooler, which can be
congealed in extremely cold temperatures. After a warm-up period of
approximately 2 to 5 minutes (depending on the ambient temperature) at
1500 RPM, the engine is ready for takeoff if it accelerates smoothly and the
oil pressure is normal and steady.
