ENGINE STARTER-GENERATORS.
One starter-generator is mounted on the accessory
drive section of each engine. Each starter-generator is
able to function either as a starter or as a generator. In
the starter function, 28 volts DC is required to power
rotation. In the generator function, each unit is capable
of 400 amperes DC output When the starting function is
selected, the starter control circuit receives power
through the respective 5-ampere START CONTR circuit
breaker on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-7),
from either the aircraft battery or an external power
source. When the generating function is selected, the
starter-generator provides electrical power.

ENGINE INSTRUMENTS.
The engine instruments are arranged vertically near the
center of the instrument panel (fig. 2-16).
a.
Turbine Gas Temperature Indicators. The two
TGT gages on the instrument panel are calibrated in
degrees Celsius (fig. 2-16). Each gage is connected to
thermocouple probes located in the hot gases between
the turbine wheels. The gages register the temperature
present between the compressor turbine and a power
turbine for the corresponding engine.
b.
Engine Torquemeters. The two torquemeters
on the instrument panel indicate torque applied to the
propeller shafts of the respective engines (fig. 2-16).
Each gage shows torque in percent of maximum using
two percent graduations and is actuated by an electrical
signal from a torque transmitter mounted on the
reduction
gearbox
which
senses
engine
internal
torquemeter pressure. The torquemeters are protected
by individual 0.5-ampere circuit breakers placarded
TORQUE METER # 1 or #2 on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-7).
c.
Turbine Tachometers. The two tachometers on
the instrument panel register compressor turbine RPM
(Ni) for the respective engine (fig. 2-16). These
indicators register turbine RPM as a percentage of
maximum gas generator RPM. Each instrument is
slaved to a tachometer generator attached to the
respective engine.
d.
Oil Pressure/Oil Temperature Indicators. The
two gages on the instrument panel register oil pressure
in PSI and oil temperature in °C (fig. 2-16). Oil
pressure is taken from the delivery side of the main oil
pressure pump. Warning annunciators placarded No. 1
OIL PRESS and No. 2 OIL PRESS are located in the
warning
annunciator
panel.
Oil
temperature
is
transmitted by a thermal sensor unit which senses the
temperature of the oil as it leaves the delivery side of
the oil pressure pump. Each gage is connected to
pressure and temperature transmitters installed on the
respective engine. Both instruments are protected by 5-
ampere circuit breakers, placarded OIL PRESS and OIL
TEMP # 1 or # 2, on the overhead circuit breaker panel
(fig. 2-7).
e.
Fuel Flow Indicators. Two gages on the
instrument panel (fig. 2-16) register the rate of flow for
consumed fuel as measured by sensing units coupled
into the fuel supply lines of the respective engines. The
fuel flow indicators are calibrated in increments of
hundreds of pounds per hour. Both circuits are
protected by 5-ampere circuit breakers placarded FUFL
FLOW #1 or #2, on the overhead circuit breaker panel
(fig. 2-7).
Section IV. FUEL SYSTEM
2-32. FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM.
The engine fuel supply system (fig. 2-17) consists of
two
identical
systems
sharing
a
common
fuel
management panel (fig. 2-18) and fuel crossfeed
plumbing (fig. 2-19). Each main fuel system consists of
five interconnected wing tanks, and a nacelle tank Each
auxiliary fuel system consists of one tank located
between the nacelle and the fuselage. A fuel transfer
pump is located within each auxiliary tank. Additionally,
the system has an engine-driven boost pump, a standby
fuel pump located within each nacelle tank, a fuel heater
(engine oil-to-fuel heat exchanger unit), a tank vent
system, a tank vent heating system, and interconnecting
wiring and plumbing. Total fuel tank capacity is shown
in table 2-2. Gravity feed fuel flow is shown in figure 2-
20.
a.
Engine Driven Boost Pumps.
Engine operation using only the enginedriven primary
(high pressure) fuel pump without standby pump or
engine-driven boost pump fuel pressure is limited to 10
cumulative hours. This condition is indicated by
illumination of either the # 1 or # 2 FUEL PRESS
warning annunciator and the simultaneous illumination
of both MASTER WARNING annunciators. All time in
this category shall be entered on DA Form 2408-13 for
the attention of maintenance personnel. A gear-driven
boost pump, mounted on each engine supplies fuel
under pressure to the inlet of the engine-driven
