3−6. ENGINE STARTING − MANUAL
NOTE
: The following procedure is provided to the pilot as a means of starting an engine
after experiencing an EEC FAIL warning which would preclude a normal
automatic start. Flight with one EEC failed (one engine manually controlled)
should be considered an abnormal procedure. It should only be done to
evacuate the helicopter from a hazardous environment or, if necessary, for a
return flight to a maintenance base where repairs can be performed. Before
attempting a start and flight with an EEC FAIL warning on one engine, pilots
should be familiar with the information in paragraphs 3−5 thru 3−7.
NOTE
: To enable the starter to function during a manual start with an EEC FAIL warning,
it may be necessary for a second crew member to push and hold the appropriate
Engine Manual Start Button located on the back corners of the electrical load
center (Ref. Section VII).
NOTE
: Complete the Engine Prestart cockpit check (Ref. Section IV) before attempting
a manual start.
