Page 27: Maintenance And Repair Work
Maintenance and repair work ATJ turbines only need little maintenance under normal operating conditions. Some points must be considered to guarantee faultless operations of the engine. This includes regular cleaning and inspection. Dirt and grease deposit can cause slippage of the starter clutch. If this happens, clean the O-ring and the compressor nut with a degreaser like alcohol. -
Page 28: List Of Ecu Status Message Codes
Glow Bad: Defective or disconnected glow plug or fuel burner. Start Bad: Defective starter, insufficient RPM reached during start, RPM sensor failure. Low RPM: Engine speed below the minimum. High Temp: Excessive temperature Flame Out: Exhaust GAS Temperature below the minimum. LEADING JET TURBINE Co., Ltd. ATJ TURBINES... -
