Testing Procedure

With engine at normal operating temperature, connect a tachometer to engine. Start engine and set parking and service brakes. Place selector lever in "D". Depress accelerator briefly to full throttle and note maximum RPM obtained. Repeat test with selector lever in "1" position. Engine speed should be within limits shown in table.

NOTE: Normal stall speed will drop about 125 RPM per 3200 feet altitude (4000 feet with E-Mode). Also, stall speed will drop slightly at high ambient temperature.
