1. PARKING BRAKE SET
SET the PARKING BRAKE by pulling the Parking Brake Lever aft, and then
pushing the button. Do not depress the brake pedals while trying to
engage the parking brake, as this will prevent the parking brake from
working.
2. MIXTURE CONTROL IDLE CUT-OFF
Advance the engine to 1000 RPM, and then move the MIXTURE
CONTROL to the IDLE CUT-OFF position.
3. IGNITION SWITCH OFF
After the engine (propeller) has come to a complete stop, turn the
IGNITION SWITCH key to the OFF position. Remove the key from the
ignition switch.
WARNING
If the magnetos are turned off before the engine stops
completely, non-ignited fuel will remain in the engine cylinders,
creating a potential hazard of the non-ignited fuel igniting
unexpectedly (i.e., the propeller rotated with a “hot mag”), or of
having an over-primed engine during the next engine start (i.e.,
an engine fire).
4. ALTERNATOR SWITCH OFF
Depress the ALTERNATOR SWITCH to the OFF position.
5. SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST COMPLETE
Upon completion of the SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST, verify that all items
have been accomplished and that the checklist is COMPLETE.
