Warning: Do not attempt takeoff with FLAPS 2!

CAUTION
Initially maintain sufficient back pressure to ensure that the tail wheel remains on the ground. The required back pressure will increase with a forward CG.
Should the tail wheel leave the ground due to insufficient back pressure, increase back pressure immediately. Do not reduce power! Noncompliance with the procedure may cause the airplane to nose over resulting in engine and propeller damage.
Do not use the surface deice system during takeoff.
