RESULT
If BITE indicators do not remain black, go to task 15-2.8.
If fuel boost pump cannot be heard operating, go to task
15-2.9.
CAUTION
If a roar is heard and a flame is seen at
APU exhaust during APU start, shut
down APU to prevent AP U damage.
CAUTION
If there is no hydraulic pressure in 30
seconds after APU switch is released
to RUN, shut down APU.
CAUTION
If APU is to be restarted or another
start attempt tried, wait at least 30 sec-
onds after APU has stopped before set-
