NOTE: It is recommended that a person be stationed near the propeller touching the de-ice boots while the functional test is conducted to warn of any unintended de-ice boot heating. Propeller should be slowly rotated by hand with the propeller heat ON to minimize possibility of overheating and arcing of brush-block and slip-ring. C1. C2. C3. C4. C5. C6. C7. C8. With engine off, turn on battery master and note the voltage on the aircraft voltmeter. Turn on propeller de-ice (PROP HEAT switch). Verify that propeller de-ice current is zero. Zero de-ice current indicates that the "squat" switch lockout is functioning properly. Next, with prop heat still on, push and hold (maximum of 10 seconds) the SURF DEICE switch (functions as propeller de-ice "push to test"). The propeller de-ice ammeter should indicate current flow, which verifies that the test function is working properly. Note heating of de-ice boots through touch. NOTE: Normal de-ice current (green arc) may not be achieved on battery power. Shut off all aircraft electrical equipment. Turn on the battery master and the propeller de-ice and note zero prop de-ice current. With the propeller de-ice still on, depress the “squat" switch on the left main landing gear. The propeller de-ice ammeter should now indicate current flow. This verifies that the squat switch circuit functions properly allowing de-ice function in flight (with weight off the wheels). Shut off all aircraft electrical equipment. Jack aircraft and swing the landing gear per Piper maintenance manual procedures to ensure that the landing gear ground lockout/squat switch system still functions properly. With aircraft secured, start engine and cycle propeller several times to fill the propeller cylinder with oil. At 1200 RPM, turn on prop de-ice and depress test button. Prop de-ice ammeter should be in the normal operating range (green arc). Shut down engine. Check engine oil level and replenish as necessary.
