CAUTION: Fill tanks with JET-A (ASTM 1655) or Diesel (DIN EN590) fuel only ! For capacity of the tank refer to chapter 6 of this supplement to airplane maintenance manual. Draining Fuel Filter Bowl drain Figure 12.2a Fuel Filter Bowl and Screen Drain at least a cupful of fuel (using sampler cup) from valve to check for water, sediment and proper fuel grade before each flight and after each refueling. If water is observed, take further samples until clear and then gently rock wings and lower tail to the ground to move any additional contaminants to the sampling points. Take repeated samples from all fuel drain points until all contamination has been removed. If contaminants are still present, refer to following WARNING and do not fly the airplane. ▲ WARNING: If, after repeated sampling, evidence of contamination still exists, the airplane should not be flown. Tanks should be drained and system purged by qualified maintenance personnel. All evidence of contamination must be removed before further flight.

Change engine oil and engine oil filter according to Operation and Maintenance Manual OM 02-02 of the CENTURION 2.0. Gearbox Oil System Check gearbox oil level before each flight according to appropriate POH supplement for CENTURION 2.0 installation. Change gearbox oil and gearbox oil filter according to Operation and Maintenance Manual OM 02-02 of the CENTURION 2.0. Liquid Cooling System ■ CAUTION: Do not drain the coolant if its temperature is above 40°C. ▲ WARNING: Risk of scalding! The cooling system may be pressurized. Carefully release the pressure before opening the drain plug. 1. Draining the coolant: • Open the clamp on the lower hose of the water radiator, disconnect the hose and allow the coolant to drain into a prepared collecting container. • Open the clamp on the lower hose of the heat exchanger, disconnect the hose and allow the coolant to drain into a prepared collecting container. • Loosen the drain plug of the engine, but do not open it yet. • Attach a suitable length of hose with a diameter of 14-15 mm onto the collar of the plug, and insert the other end of the hose into a collecting container. • Open the drain plug. The coolant can drain off through the plug. • Open the cover of the coolant filler (this allows the coolant to drain faster). • After draining install a new seal and tighten the drain plug - tightening torque: 10 Nm. • Reconnect the lower hoses of the water radiator and the heat exchanger and tighten the clamps.

Filling up new coolant: • Fill up the cooling system by opening the coolant filler (use coolant according to Chapter 4 of Installation Manual IM 02-02). • Close the cover of the coolant filler. • Perform a test run according to Operation and Maintenance Manual OM 02-02. • Check the cooling system for leaks according to Annex 3 of Operation and Maintenance Manual OM-02-02. • Allow the engine to cool down. • Check coolant level. 3. Bleeding of coolant circuit: After every filling of new coolant, bleed the air off the coolant system by means of the maintenance bleeder screw on the thermostat. The bleeder screw must be safetied by means of lockwire. The gasket under bleeder screw must be replaced as necessary (depending on condition).

According to demand and outside air temperature, warm air is provided to the cabin. Figure 21-2 Heat exchanger Engine coolant passes through the heater core and heats incoming air. The coolant flow through the heater core is always open. The warm air supply is regulated by the pilot over the heating valve. In normal operation the control knob “Shut-off Cabin Heat“ must be pulled. With the control knob “Cabin Heat“, the supply of warm air into the cabin can be controlled. In case of certain emergencies (refer to the appropriate Pilot´s Operating Handbook), the control knob “Shut-off Cabin Heat“ has to be closed according to the appropriate procedures.

The 14 Volts system is equipped with a 90 amp alternator, a 14 V starter, a 12 volts battery, an excitation battery for the alternator and a voltage regulator. The battery is operated by a rocker switch (BAT) located on the lower instrument panel. The alternator is disabled by a circuit breaker mounted below the battery switch on the lower instrument panel. The excitation battery of the alternator is operated with the Engine Master simultaneously. The back-up battery is supplying the FADEC in case of voltage drop. A warning light (ALT) on the annunciator panel will illuminate if the alternator fails to produce current or overproduces. The battery switch (BAT) must be ON before any electrical equipment will operate. For wiring diagrams of the electrical systems of CENTURION 2.0 installations refer to chapter 91, Section 91.10 of this supplement. Supplement Airplane Maintenance Manual DR400/135CDI / CENTURION 2.0 AMM-60-02 Chapter: Issue no.: Issue Date: Page: Content: AMM-60-24 1 November 16, 2007 2 14 Revision no. : Revision date: - - 24.30 DC GENERATION Precautions The following precautions must be observed when testing the electrical system. ▲ WARNING: Failure to observe these precautions will result in serious damage to the electrical equipment. CAUTION Refer to wiring diagram in chapter AMM-60-91 (section 91.10) when installing or testing alternator. CAUTION Disconnect battery and excitation battery before connecting or disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter), or before removing or replacing any unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at alternator with internal regulator (14V version only), excitation battery, ammeter or accessories, will cause severe damage to units and/or wiring. CAUTION Disconnect main battery before connecting or disconnecting the excitation battery. The excitation battery wire from the alternator (14V version) may carry electrical power even without connected excitation battery in case the main battery is still connected to the system. CAUTION Grounding the alternator output terminal will damage alternator and/or circuit and components. CAUTION Reversed battery connections will damage rectifiers, wiring, regulator and other charging system components. Battery polarity must be checked with a voltmeter before connecting battery. The aircraft is negative ground. CAUTION If booster battery or fast charger is used, its polarity must be connected correctly to prevent damage to electrical system components.
