3. Throttles - Set at 1200 rpm, adjust friction levers.
a.  Wing flaps - check full range; return to full up.
b.  Ignition switches - Check ground out.
c.  Mixture control - Check, adjust friction levers.
d.  Fuel crossfeed - Check.
e.  Voltammeters -
     (1)  Voltage readings - 28V +/- 0.5V.
     (2)  Ammeter readings concide within 10%.
     (3)  Left generator switch - OFF.  Note left ammeter drops to zero and the right  ammeter shows increased reading.  Check that automatic change-over to standby inverter occurs and that the standby light illuminates. Left generator switch - ON.
      (4)  Repeat (3) for right generator.
f.  Pitot heat - Check.
g.  Wing-and-tail deicing pumps -
      (1)  Mode switch - MAN.
      (2)  Deicing pressure 14-16 psi, suction 4-6" Hg.
      (3)  Check operation - As desired.
      (4)  Mode switch - OFF.
h.  heater intake anti-icing switches - Check.
i.  Temperature check -
      (1)  Oil temperature 40C minimum.
      (2)  Cylinder head temperature 120C minimum.

5. Throttles - Set at 1900 rpm -
a.  Props - Minimum decrease; rpm drops to 1300.  Check 3 times on initial runup for conventional system. For reverse prop system, check on time. Adjust friction.
b.  Carburetor heat - Check.

6. Throttles - 2200 rpm -
a.  Manifold pressure - approximately field barometric pressure.
b.  Thrust indicators - Check for similar readings.
c.  Ignition system - Check magnetos, one ata time.  Drop not over 100 rpm max (40 rpm differential).
P
7. Throttles closed - Check -
a.  Idling - 500 +/- 25 rpm.
b.  Generator warning light illuminated.
c.  Standby inverter light illuminated.
d.  Reverse prop system - 
    (1)  Carb air induction switches - Filter.
    (2)  Throttles - Reverse idle.  Check feather buttons and reverse prop indicators illuminate.  (Move throttles to rear to insure freedom of movement.
    (3)  Throttles - Normal idle.
    (4)  Carb air induction switches - As desired.
P
8. Propeller autofeathering system - Check: Note. If autofeather system inoperative, perform manual check at 1900 rpm.
a.  Throttles - set at 1200 rpm.
b.  Autofeathering switch - ON, check indicator light illuminates.
c.  Throttle - 
    (1)  Open right throttle until left feathering button pulls in. (Thrust pressure differential of 45 +/- 2 1/2% should be indicated).
    (2)  Return to 1200 rpm.
    (3)  Simultaneously pull out the button to arrest feathering cycle after 200 rpm drop.
d.  Autofeathering switch - OFF - then ON.
e.  Repeat procedure for right system.
P
9. Autofeathering switch - OFF. 
P
10. Gust lock handle - Locked.
CP
11. Mixture control levers - Auto-lean if delay is anticipated prior to completion to takeoff check.
