STARTING ENGINE
After the engine reaches stabilized idle (52% N
starter switch to the OFF position. With a cold engine or after making a
battery start (high initial generator load into battery), it may be
necessary to advance the POWER Lever slightly ahead of the idle
detent to maintain a minimum idle of 52% N
the minimum N and ITT within limits, advance the POWER Lever to
g
obtain approximately 55% N
generator contactor closes when the starter switch is turned OFF).
Under hot OAT and/or high ground elevation conditions,
idle ITT can exceed maximum idle ITT limitation of
685°C. Increase N
maintain ITT within limits.
If the STARTER ENERGIZED CAS MSG fails to go out
after the starter switch has been moved to the OFF
position, the start contactor can be closed and the
generator will not function. Perform an engine shutdown.
Engine starts can be made with airplane battery power or with an
external power unit (EPU). However, it is recommended that an EPU be
used when the ambient air temperature is less than -18°C (0°F). Refer
to Cold Weather Operation in this section when ambient temperature is
below -18°C (0°F).
•
In the event the external power unit drops off the line
during engine start, a loss of electrical power to the
starter will result which could cause a hot start.
Should a loss of external power occur, immediately
place the FUEL CONDITION Lever to CUTOFF,
monitor ITT, and make sure the engine is shutting
down. Turn the external power switch off and place
the starter switch to the MOTOR position to aid in
reducing ITT if necessary.
