(5) WHEN AUXILIARY FUEEL TANKS ARE EMPTY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE FUEL
QUANTITY IN THE MAIN TANK ON THE GROUND WITH THE GAUGE ON THE TANK
CAP.
(6) WHEN THE AUXILIARY TANK CONTAINS ANY FUEL, DO NOT OPEN THE MAIN
TANK FILLING CAP! – THERE IS A DANGER OF THE FUEL FLOW-OUT! (The main
tank is refuelled by means of gravity feeding from the auxiliary tank.)
(7) THE TAKE-OFF IS PROHIBITED IF IN BOTH MAIN TANK IS LESS THEN 20 LITRES
