TM 55-4920-328-13
NOTE
All auxiliary services and all electrical systems
must be energized, and the power supplies must
be stabilized prior to accomplishment of the
following procedures.
a. For all engines being tested, verify that the travel of
the NI fuel control lever conforms to the value specified in
the applicable technical manual. (Indication of NI fuel
control lever travel is displayed on the THROTTLE
POSITION indicator M2 (8, figure 1-24) on operator's
panel assembly 3A3.) If the travel of the lever and
corresponding indication are not within the specified
limits, ad- just the installation of the engine accessories
link- age to obtain the specified travel and corresponding
readout.
b. Check to ensure that all master control units are fully
closed (pulled to the limit of travel to- ward the front edge
of the writing surface).
c. For engine accessories which contain link- age parts
required to connect the hydraulic control subsystem and
monitor inlet guide vane position, verify the IGV position
displayed on the IGV ACTUATOR ARM indicator M2 (3)
on operator's panel assembly 3A1 (1). If required, adjust
the travel of the actuator arm to provide the specified
indication, using the procedures contained in the
applicable technical manual.
NOTE
Refer to the applicable procedures contained in
chapter 3 for information on starting or cranking
a gas turbine engine equipped with a hydraulic
starter.
d. Depress the ENGINE FUEL SOLENOID switchlight
(30), then depress the START switch (31) to crank the
engine to the applicable percent of NI speed as noted on
the GAS PRODUCER meter (4). During the cranking
cycle, observe the following conditions:
(1) Note that the GAS PRODUCER meter (4) and the
POWER TURBINE meter (5) indicate proper rotation of
each
pointer
on
the
dial.
CAUTION
A low level warning Indicated by flashing of the
ENGINE LOW OIL LEVEL indicator (17, figure
1-25) must not be ignored. If an alarm Is
evident, oil must be added to the applicable
system. Add the specified lubricating oil to the
Integral oil tank on the T55, T74, or T700
engine, as applicable. Add oil to the test trailer
lubricating oil unit (6, figure 1-12) when testing
other engines.
(2) Note that the ENGINE LOW FUEL PRES- SURE
indicator (14A, figure 1-25) flashes on and off and that the
audible alarm assembly sounds continuously. (The
audible alarm may be silenced by depressing the ACK
switchlight unit (25) so that unusual engine noises may be
heard.) Note that, as engine fuel pressure rises, the
indicator ceases to flash on and off.
CAUTION
A low oil pressure warning indicated by
flashing of the ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE
indicator (11) must not be Ignored. If an
audible alarm Is evident, check the engine
lubricating system for leaks. If necessary
troubleshoot
the
electrical
system
in
accordance with chapter 5.
(3) Note the ENGINE LOW OIL PRES- SURE indicator
(11) flashes on and off and that the audible alarm
assembly sounds continuously. The audible alarm may be
silenced by depressing the ACK switchlight unit (25).
(4) Visually check the engine fuel and oil sup- ply hose
connections for evidence of leakage. Tighten all fittings
associated with leakage.
NOTE
The following step is not applicable to engines
equipped with a hydraulic start system. The
amount of noise and vibration developed by the
hydraulic start system gasoline engine will
preclude the detection of vibration or excessive
noise.
e. Depress the ENGINE FUEL SOLENOID switchlight
(30, figure 1-24) a second time, then release the START
switch (31) at the specified
