FIRES.
ENGINE
FIRE
DURING
START
ON
GROUND.
Improper
starting
procedures
such
as
pumping
the
throttle
during
a
difficult
cold weather
start
can cause
a
backfire
which
could
ignite
fuel
that has accumulated in
the
intake duct.
In
this
event,
proceed
as
follows:
(1)
Continue
cranking
in
an
attempt
to
get
a
start
which
would
suck
the
flames
and accumulated
fuel
through
the
carburetor
and into the
engine.
(2)
If the
start
is
successful,
run
the
engine
at
1700
RPM for
a
few
minutes
before
shutting
it
down
to
inspect
the
damage.
(3)
If
engine
start
is
unsuccessful,
continue
cranking
for
two
or
three
minutes
with
throttle
full
open
while
ground
attendants
obtain
fire
extinguishers.
