When the oil pressure no longer fluctuates and the temperature begins to rise, gradually increase to approximately 1,400 rpm. The minimum oil temperature for 1400 rpm or over, is 150C. (59'F.) If known icing conditions exist, move the carburetor air control to "HOT". (2) During warm. up the oil pressure should not exceed 120 p.s.i. and the normal oil temperature should be 60°c to 80°C. (140°F. to 176°F.) with a maximum of 851°C. (185°F.) (3) Fuel pressure for idling should be maintained at 9 psi. and for operating 17 pounds, ±1 pound. |
