BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
(Continued)
CAUTION
IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO VERIFY THAT THE
IDLE POSITION AND A HOT START
WILL RESULT.
Before starting the engine, the power lever is placed at the IDLE
position (against the BETA gate), the propeller control lever is moved to
the MAX RPM position (full forward), and the fuel condition lever is
stowed in the CUTOFF position.
CAUTION
THE PROPELLER REVERSING LINKAGE CAN BE
DAMAGED IF THE POWER LEVER IS MOVED AFT OF
THE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT
RUNNING AND THE PROPELLER IS FEATHERED.
STARTING ENGINE
The Starting Engine checklist procedures should be followed closely to
assure a satisfactory engine start. With the fuel condition lever in the
CUTOFF position, move the starter switch to the START position; verify
that the STARTER ENERGIZED and IGNITION ON annunciators
illuminate. Next, check for a positive indication of engine oil pressure.
After N stabilizes (minimum of
12%), move the fuel condition lever to
the
LO%
IDLE position and verify a fuel flow in the general range of 90
I
to 140 pph. After the engine "lights" and during acceleration to idle
(approximately
52% N9)! monitor ITT and N
.
Maximum ITT during
engine start is
1090°C, l~mlted to 2 seconds. fypically, the ITT during
start is well below this maximum value. After the engine has stabilized
at idle, the STARTER ENERGIZED annunciator should be OFF. If this
annunciator remains ON, it indicates the starter has not been
automatically disengaged during the engine starting sequence due to a
failed speed sensor.
