(0.25 US gal per tank)

NOTE
It is not recommended to fully tank the fuel tanks.
Due to fuel thermal expansion keep about 2.11U.S.
gallons of free space in the tank to prevent fuel bleed
through the vents in the wing tips thus preventing envi-
ronmental contamination. This should be adhered es-
pecially when cold fuel from an underground tank is
tanked.
Approved fuel grades:
--- automotive petrol with min RON 95
--- EN 228 Premium
--- EN 228 Premium plus
--- AVGAS 100 LL
Due to higher lead content in AVGAS, the wear of valve seats and deposits in the
combustion chamber and lead sediments in the lubrication system will increase.
Therefore, use AVGAS only if you encouter problem with vapour lock or if the
other fuel types are not available
For other suitable fuel types refer to the engine Operator’s Manual

NOTE
Use only fuel suitable for the respective climatic zone.
Risk of vapour formation if using winter fuel for summer
operation.

3.10 Other emergency procedures

3.10.1Vibration
If abnormal vibrations occur on the airplane then:

1. Set engine RPM to the mode in which the vibrations are the lowest

2. Land on the nearest possible airport, possibly perform safety landing


according to par. 3.8.2. Safety landing.

3.10.2Carburettor icing
Carburettor icing happens when air temperature drop in the carburettor occurs due
to its acceleration in the carburettor and further cooling by evaporating fuel. Carbu-
rettor icing mostly happens during descending and aproaching for landing (low en-
gine RPM). Carburettor icing shows itself by engine power decreasing and by en-
gine temperature increasing.

Recommended procedure for engine power regeneration is as follows:

1. CARBURETTOR PREHEATER (if installed) . . ON

2. THROTTLE lever . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . set idle and cruising power


again

NOTE
Ice coating in the carburettor should be removed by
decrease and reincrease of engine power.

3. If the engine power is not successfully increased, then carry out landing at the

NOTE
It is recommended to alternately switch the tanks
during cruise to equally consume fuel from both tanks
and minimize airplane tendency to bank with
unbalanced tanks.
Do not fly with the fuel selector set to RIGHT if the left
tank is full to avoid fuel bleed from left tank vent.
When the left tank fuel gauge indicates approx. 1/8 of
fuel quantity (needle in the middle between 1/4 and 0)
then switch to the right tank to consume remaining fuel
and then switch back the left tank to complete the flight
at left tank. If the engine conks out due to fuel
consumption from either tank, then immediately
switch the fuel selector to other tank and engine run
will be recovered within 7 seconds.

8.4.2 Airplane parking


It is the most suitable solution to place the airplane into a hangar possibly into ano-
ther covered room with stable temperature, good venting, low humidity and dust---
free environment. In case of parking out of the hangar it is necessary to anchor the
airplane and at long---term parking to cover the canopy, possibly the whole air-
plane with suitable tarpaulins.

8.4.3 Airplane anchoring


The airplane is anchored at parking out of hangar after termination of flight day or
according to need. Anchoring of the airplane is necessary for its protection against
possible damage, caused by wings and gusts. For this purpose the airplane is
equipped with fixing eyes on the lower side of wings.

Procedure:

1. Check of fuel selector, off---position of all switches, ignition and master switch.

2. Lock manual control, e.g. by using safety belts

3. Close vent windows

4. Close and lock the cockpit canopy

5. Anchor the airplane to the ground by means of cables pulled through fixing
eyes which are located on the lower side of wings. Further it is necessary to an-
chor the nose landing gear.

NOTE
In case that long---term airpplane anchoring is sup-
posed, namely in winter period, it is suitable to cover
the canopy, eventually the whole airplane by appropri-
ate tarpaulins which must be properly secured to the
airplane structure.

8.4.4 Airplane jacking


Airplane jacking presents no big difficulties due to relatively low airplane empty
weight and can be performed by two persons.

First, it is necessary to prepare two suitable rests which will support the airplane.

The airplane can be jacked in the following way:


--- by pushing from the above to the fuselage rear part in the position before the fin
the front part of fuselage can be jacked and subsequently supported under the
fire wall.
--- Rear part of fuselage can be slightly jacked only by grasping in the position near
the auxiliary skid and by pushing from below and then the lower part of fuse-
lage can be supported by the rest located in the area of the skid.
--- Wings van be jacked by pushing on the wing from below in the area of the main
spar. It is necessary to avoid jacking by grasping the wing tip.

8.4.5 Levelling
Levelling procedure is described in the Maintenance manual for SPORTSTAR air-
plane.

8.4.6 Road transport


The airplane can be transported on communication after its laoding on an appropri-
ate trail. It is necessary to dismount wings. The airplane must be secured against
possible movement. This way you will preclude possible damage to the airplane.

8.5 Draining of fuel tank


Draining should be done prior to first flight each day.
There is a drain valve of each wing tank located on its bottom.
Procedure:
1. Put a transparent cup under the drain valve.
2. Using screwdriver (or appropriate jig) press and turn drain valve counterclock-
wise to open it.
3. Drain required quantity of fuel.

NOTE
Draining serves to elimination of impurities and depos-
its from the fuel. Drain until clean fuel flows from the
drain valve.
4. Using screwdriver (or appropriate jig) turn drain valve clockwise to close it.
5. Repeat procedure for the opposite tank.
