Cow! Flaps’ ‘Are mechanically operated by means of a lever on the right hand side of the coatrol pedestal Fuel Drain Valves: ‘Ate positioned under each wing and also via the fuel strainer drain on the left side of the engine cowling. Engine Instruments: Engine operation is monitored by the following instruments: - oil pressure guage; = oil temperature guage; - cylinder head temperature guage tachometer, and = manifold pressure guage. Oil Level Indicator: Ts located at the rear of the engine on the left side, The dipstick and filler are accessible through doors on the engine cowling. Electrical System: Electrical energy is supplied by a 14 volt DC system powered by an engine driven 60 amp alternator. The 12 volt battery is located in the tailcone aft of the baggage compartment wall Note: Refer to Pilots' Operating Handbook for further information and details.Cessna 182 Handling Notes Page 5 of 17 pages Seenies _Page 5 of 17 pages: 24 22 2.3 OPERATING LIMITATIONS ‘The aircraft shall be operated in accordance with the Flight Manual at all times.
