ENGINE CONTROLS
1. GENERAL
This chapter describes the controls which govern operation of the engine. The engine controls for the air-
plane consist of the following: throttle, mixture, and propeller. The primary controls employ conventional
push-pull type levers and are connected to a control quadrant mounted forward on the center console. The
quadrant control assembly incorporates a friction lock which can be adjusted to retain the throttle and mix-
ture control lever positions. (See Figure 76-001)
The throttle control lever is connected through a cable to the throttle body mounted forward of the induction
duct assembly. The propeller governor control cable is terminated on a cam follower plate which is integral
to the throttle control lever. This connection allows the propeller speed to be mechanically adjusted to the
throttle setting. Under this arrangement, the propeller is set to 2700 RPM for full forward throttle takeoff
and climb, 2500 RPM for cruise, and approximately 2000 RPM at propeller check detent. For additional
maintenance practices regarding the propeller governor refer to 61-00. (Refer to 61-00)
The mixture control lever is connected through a cable to the fuel pump located on the aft, centered on the
engine case.
