TM 1-1510-218-108A-13(3) 85% maximum – Ground Operations.9. CONDITION levers – As required.10. Red anticollision light – Reset.NOTETo reset, turn off approximately 5 seconds,then to the NIGHT (red) position. Whenvoltage drops below approximately 20volts, the anticollision light may becomeinoperative. Normally, NIGHT (red) strobeis used for ground operations and DAY(white) is used for flight operations.8A-28. BEFORE TAXIING.*1. AC/DC power – Check.*2. AVIONICS MASTER POWER – ON.*3. EFIS POWER – ON.*4. CABIN AIR/TEMP MODE and CABINAIR/TEMPswitches – Set as desired.*5. BLEED AIR VALVES – As required.CAUTIONDo not leave brake deice on longer thanrequired to check function of annunciatorswhen ambient temperatures are above15 °C.NOTEBrake deice control valves may becomeinoperative if valves are not cycledperiodically. One cycle of the valves isrequired daily, regardless of the weatherconditions.*6. BRAKE DEICE switch – As required.7. Avionics – Check and set as required.*8. TCAS – TEST and set.9. FLAPS – Check.*10. Altimeters – Set and Check.*8A-29. TAXIING.CAUTIONNever taxi with a flat tire or a flat shockstrut. During taxi operations, particularattention should be given to propeller tipclearance. Extreme caution is requiredwhen operating on unimproved or irregularsurfaces or when high winds exist. Ifoperations produce a propeller RPM over1600, retard propeller levers to the detentto limit RPM to 1600 to help reduce thepossibility of ingestion of ground debris.1. Brakes – Check.2. Flight instruments – Check.8A-30. ENGINE RUNUP.1. Parking brake – As required.2. Propeller feathering – Check.H3. AUTOFEATHER/AUTO IGN – Check asrequired.a. AUTO IGN switches – ARM. IGNONannunciators illuminated.b. POWER levers – 22% torque. IGN ONannunciators extinguish.c. AUTOFEATHERswitch – Hold to TEST.Both AUTOFEATHER annunciatorsilluminated.d. POWERlevers – Retard individually.(1) Approximately 16% – 21% torque,opposite AUTOFEATHERannunciator extinguishes, IGN ONannunciator illuminated.(2) Approximately 9% – 14% torque,both AUTOFEATHER annunciatorsextinguished (prop begins to feather).Both IGN ONannunciatorsilluminated.NOTEAUTOFEATHER annunciators willilluminate and extinguish with eachfluctuation of torque as the propellerattempts to feather.(3) Return POWER lever to 22% torque.e. Repeat procedure with other engine.f. POWERlevers – IDLE(BothAUTOFEATHERlights extinguished,props do not feather).
