STEP 4.
PLACE FUEL BOOST PUMP SWITCH IN ON POSITION AND MASTER SWITCH IN RUN POSITION.
STEP 5.
MOMENTARILY PLACE MASTER SWITCH IN START POSITION, THEN RELEASE MASTER SWITCH TO RUN POSITION. ENGINE
WILL AUTOMATICALLY START AND ACCELERATE TO GOVERNED SPEED. FUEL BOOST PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE
BUT SWITCH WILL DROP TO OFF POSITION.
CAUTION:
DO NOT EXCEED STARTER MOTOR DUTY CYCLE OF ONE MINUTE ON AND FOUR MINUTES OFF OR FIVE STARTS IN TEN
MINUTES. A ONE MINUTE TIME DELAY RELAY (K4) WILL LIMIT STARTER OPERATION.
STEP 6.
LISTEN FOR ENGINE COMBUSTION (CHARACTERISTIC ROAR) AND OBSERVE EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE INDICATOR FOR
TEMPERATURE INCREASE. OBSERVE THAT READY TO LOAD INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATES WITHIN 60 SECONDS
INDICATING THAT ENGINE HAS ACCELERATED TO GOVERNED SPEED AND IS READY FOR APPLICATION OF LOAD.
CAUTION:
IMMEDIATELY PLACE MASTER SWITCH IN STOP POSITION TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE OPERATION IF COMBUSTION DOES NOT
OCCUR, IF EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 1300 F (704 C) DURING ACCELERATION, IF READY TO LOAD INDICATOR
LAMP DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WITHIN 60 SECONDS, OR IF UNUSUAL NOISE OR OBVIOUS MALFUNCTION OCCURS, REPORT
MALFUNCTIONS TO ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL.
NOTE:
WHEN PRACTICABLE, THE ENGINE SHOULD BE OPERATED FOR A TWO TO FIVE MINUTE WARMUP PERIOD BEFORE
APPLYING LOAD TO REDUCE THERMAL STRESSES OF THE TURBINE WHELL AND PROLONG ENGINE LIFE.
