3. Vapor Suppression =E2=8E=AF OFF

4. Induction Heated Air =E2=8E=AF = OFF

5. Throttle =E2=8E=AF CLOSED, THEN OPEN APPROXIMATELY ONE INCH

6. Left and Right Battery Switches = =E2=8E=AF ON

7. Anti-Collision/Position Lights =E2=8E=AF = ON AS REQUIRED

8. Primer Switch =E2=8E=AF PUSH IN (Approximately 5 seconds)

9. Throttle =E2=8E=AF CLOSED, THEN OPEN 1/8 INCH to 1/4 INCH

10. Check Propeller Area =E2=8E=AF = CLEAR (Ensure people/equipment are not in the propeller = area.)

11. Ignition Switch =E2=8E=AF START<= /span>

12. Throttle =E2=8E=AF ADJUST IDLE (900 to 1000 RPM)

13. Oil Pressure =E2=8E=AF CHECK (Ensure the oil pressure gauge reads between 30 to 60 = psi.)

CAUTION=

If no oil pressure is noted within 30 seconds, shut down the engine and = investigate

the cause. Operating the engine without oil pressure may result in = engine

malfunction or stoppage.

14. Left and Right Alternator Switches =E2=8E=AF = ON

STARTING = HOT ENGINE

1. Mixture =E2=8E=AF IDLE CUTOFF

2. Propeller =E2=8E=AF HIGH RPM

3. Throttle =E2=8E=AF CLOSED=

4. Induction Heated Air =E2=8E=AF = OFF

5. Left and Right Battery Switches = =E2=8E=AF ON

6. Anti-Collision/Position Lights =E2=8E=AF = ON AS REQUIRED

7. Vapor Suppression =E2=8E=AF ON FOR 30 TO 60 SECONDS, THEN OFF

8. Mixture =E2=8E=AF RICH

9. Primer Switch =E2=8E=AF PUSH IN (Approximately 3 seconds.)

10. Throttle =E2=8E=AF CLOSED, THEN OPEN APPROXIMATELY 1/4 INCH

11. Check Propeller Area =E2=8E=AF = CLEAR (Ensure people/equipment are not in the propeller = area.)

12. Ignition Switch =E2=8E=AF START<= /span>

NOTE

It may be necessary to leave the vapor suppression on during = starting

(steps 7 =E2=80=93 10) and turn it off approximately one minute after engine = start.

NOTE

If the engine is only moderately warm it may it may be necessary to push = the

primer switch for a few = seconds before starting.

13. Throttle =E2=8E=AF IDLE (900 to 1000 RPM)

14. Oil Pressure =E2=8E=AF CHECK (Ensure the oil pressure gauge reads between 30 to 60 = psi.)

15. Left and Right Alternator = Switches =E2=8E=AF ON

I have the Andair valve, but I think low boost for = take-off

and changing tanks is a good idea. I have flown a = Comanche for years and that is part of the SOP. Thanks =
