Twin Otter Query

Hi Guys

I'm a professional screenwriter and I'm looking for some expert opinion. I'm writing a project at the moment that involves a scene where a twotter pilot is giving hurried instructions on how to start a Twin Otter and taxi it along the runway. (No take-off necessary.) These instructions are being dealt over the radio to someone who's never been behind the controls before and it's quite a dramatic scene. Obviously I'd like to get the tech right, and to do that I would need help.

I've done some research reading SOP manuals and looking up cockpit control photos, etc., but if you could help me, by maybe posting what you would say in that situation as the pilot giving the commands to follow, i.e. "Lift up the forward boost switch, check the boost pump caution light is off. Now release the parking break. It's the red lever on the left...." etc., I'd be extremely grateful.

Again, thanks so much for any help.
