Have pilot start No. 1 engine. When NO. 1
No. 1 engine shall accelerate to 60-63% N1 as
ENGINE gas producer tachometer (7) indicates
indicated on tachometer (7) within 45 seconds.
50%, SET ENGINE 1 START switch (8) to
Power turbine inlet temperature shall rise and then
OFF. If engine has high PTIT or hot start, go
stabilize at 400°C as indicated on PTIT indicator (9).
to task 4-1.2.
STARTER ON light (5) shall go out when switch (8) set
to OFF. If engine does not start, go to task 4-4.12. If light
(5) stays on, replace ENGINE 1 MOTOR/START switch.
CAUTION
After starting NO. 1 ENGINE, do not delay
starting NO. 2 ENGINE more than 3 minutes,
or motoring engine for 10 seconds every 30
minutes. The N2 section of NO. 2 ENGINE
starts turning when NO. 1 ENGINE is started;
however, the lubrication system of NO. 2
ENGINE is driven by the N1 section; which
does not begin to turn until the START
sequence is initiated. Delay in starting NO.
2 ENGINE will result in excessive wear on N2
bearing package and seals.
