I suppose the point I’m trying to make is that unless you have information that points pretty strongly towards an alternative course of action, following the manufacturer recommended procedure to begin with is generally a good idea. If it doesn’t work or produces sub-optimal results, then that is the time to experiment.
Boeing have this to say about their jets and I think it contains wisdom applicable to operating most other types of aircraft too:
“It should be noted that, in determining the safest course of action, troubleshooting, i.e. taking steps beyond published non-normal checklist steps, may cause further loss of system function or system failure. Troubleshooting should only be considered when completion of the published non-normal checklist results in an unacceptable situation."
