8-22. FIRST ENGINE START (BATTERY START).
Starting procedures are identical for both
engines except the second engine generator is kept off
line after the second engine start to allow performing
the current limiters check. When making a battery
start, the right engine should be started first. When
making a Ground Power Unit (GPU) start, the left
engine should be started first due to the GPU
receptacle being located adjacent to the right engine.
Normally, only one engine is started utilizing the GPU,
reverting to the Battery Start procedure for the second
engine start. A crewmember should monitor the
outside observer throughout the engine start.
