After completion of the preflight inspection:

1. Lock the wheel brakes.
2. Set the carburetor heat control in the full "COLD" position.
3. Select the desired tank with the fuel valve.
4. Move the mixture to the full "RICH" position.
5. Open the throttle 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
6. Turn the electric fuel pump "ON".

In cold weather (below 40 degrees F.) prime the engine with one to three full strokes of the priming pump. If extremely cold, starting will be aided by pulling the propeller through by hand (switch "OFF") four to five revolutions. If the temper- ature is above 40 degrees the engine may be primed by three or four short quick strokes of the throttle.

After priming, turn the electric master switch on, engage the starter and allow the engine to turn approximately one full revolution, then turn the ignition switch to the "Left" magneto position.

When the engine is firing evenly, turn the magneto switch to the "Both" position and advance the throttle to 800 RPM. Check the oil pressure gauge for a pressure indication. If oil pressure is not indicated within thirty seconds, stop the engine and determine the trouble.

If the engine fails to start at the first attempt, another attempt should be made without priming. If this fails, it is possible that the engine is overprimed. Turn the magneto switch off, open the throttle slowly, and rotate the engine approximately ten revolutions with the starter. Reprime the engine with one half the amount used in the initial attempt, turn the magneto switch to "Left", and repeat the starting procedure. If the engine again fails to start, refer to the Lycoming Operating Handbook, Section VII, Engine Troubles.
