3. Operation
Figure 2 shows the alternate air control lever in the cockpit. It is located on the left side of the center console under the instrument panel. A Bowden control cable connects the control lever in the cockpit to the alternate air valve assembly in the engine bay.
In normal operation the alternate air control lever is set to the OFF position. The holes in the alternate air valve body and the flanged housing do not align and ambient air flows through the air filter into the fuel injector.
When the alternate air control lever in the cockpit is moved to the alternate air position, the Bowden cable rotates the valve body to align the holes in the valve body with the holes in the flanged housing. Warm air from the engine bay will now flow through the alternate air valve into the fuel injector.
The alternate air valve can be selected to the alternate air position to supply warm air for anti-icing or to maintain the air supply should the air filter become blocked. The alternate air supply is not filtered.
