Recycle the gear if the red light continues to illuminate. Red light will illuminate when the gear warning horn sounds. The gear warning horn sounds when the manifold pressure drops to 14 hg in either engine or both and the gear is in the up position or when the gear selector is set in the up position when the airplane is on the ground. EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION Check the following before extending the gear manually.
