   • EMERGENCY: Sets, manually, mixture to full.

   INFO

   The mixture control system, for the AUTO RICH and AUTO LEAN positions, achieves automatic control via a bellows system with trapped atmospheric pressure of 28 inHg. As the altitude increases and the outside pressure drops, the bellows inflate, restricting gradually the fuel, thus leaning the mixture.

8. Right Engine Fuel Tank Selector: Select which tank will feed the right engine. The same as the left one.
