This is a very basic startup procedure for the UH1M......

Although not all of these stages are completely necessary, some of them are
essential and if missed, will prevent the starter motor from working, or worse
prevent the battery charging..... you might not notice there is a problem until you
loose all power mid flight...... just saying. It is probably best if you follow the
procedure below EXACTLY.

THERE IS ASWITCH ON THE MAIN CONSOLE TO TURN ON/OFF HINTS FOR STARTUP
THIS SWITCH IS USED TO RESET THE WHOLE STARTUP AND ENGINE TO OFF.....
ONLY USE IT IF PARKED SAFELY ON THE GROUND

for long periods, the engine will overheat and cause damage.
