When ice protection is not required, the vane
and bypass door are retracted out of the airstream by
placing the ice vane switches in the RETRACT
position. The green annunciator lights will extinguish.
Retraction should be accomplished at +15 °C and
above to assure adequate oil cooling. The vanes
should be either extended or retracted; there are no
intermediate positions.
If for any reason the vane does not attain the
selected position within 15 seconds, a yellow L ICE
VANE or R ICE VANE light illuminates on the
caution/advisory panel. In this event, a mechanical
backup system is provided, and is actuated by pulling
the T-handles just below the pilot's subpanel,
placarded ICE VANE EMERGENCY.
b. Manual Extension Pull Left Eng / Right
Eng. Airspeed reduction may be necessary to extend
the ice vanes manually. Once extended, normal
airspeed may be resumed.
CAUTION
Once the manual override system has been
engaged (i.e., anytime the manual ice vane
T-handle has been pulled), do not attempt
to electrically extend or retract the ice
vanes, even if the T-handle has been
pushed back in, until the override linkage
in the engine compartment has been
properly reset on the ground.
When the vane is successfully positioned with
the manual system, the yellow annunciator lights will
extinguish. The vane may then be retracted or
extended with the manual system. During manual
system use, the electric switch position must match
the manual handle position for a correct annunciator
readout.
2-20. ENGINE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM.
a. Description. The basic fuel system for each
engine consists of an engine driven fuel pump, a fuel
control unit, a fuel flow divider, a dual fuel manifold, 14
fuel nozzles, and a purge system. The fuel purge
system forces residual fuel from the manifolds to the
combustion chamber where it is consumed.
b. Fuel Control Unit. The fuel control unit is
mounted on the accessory case of the engine. The
unit is a hydro-pneumatic metering device that
determines the proper fuel flow schedule required for
the engine to produce the amount of power requested
by the relative position of the associated POWER
lever. The control of developed engine power is
accomplished by adjusting the speed of the engine-
gas generator (N1). N1 speed is controlled by varying
the amount of fuel injected into the combustion
chamber through the fuel nozzles. Engine shutdown is
accomplished by moving the appropriate CONDITION
lever to the full aft FUEL CUTOFF position, which
shuts off the fuel supply.
2-21. POWER LEVERS.
CAUTION
Moving the POWER lever below the flight
idle gate without the associated engine
running may re sult in damage to the
reverse mechanism linkage.
The two POWER levers are located on the
control pedestal and are placarded POWER. Refer to
Figure 2-11. These levers regulate power in the
reverse, idle and forward ranges, operating so that
forward movement increases engine power. Power
control is accomplished through adjustment of the N1
speed governor in the fuel control unit. Power is
increased when N1 RPM is increased. The POWER
levers also control propeller reverse pitch. Distinct
movement (pulling up and then aft on the POWER
lever) by the pilot is required for operation in the
ground fine and reverse ranges. Forward lever travel
range is designated INCR (increase), supplemented
by an arrow pointing forward. R Lever travel range is
marked IDLE, LIFT, GROUND FINE, LIFT, and
REVERSE. T3 F3 Lever travel range is marked IDLE,
LIFT, and REVERSE. A placard below the lever slots
reads: CAUTION REVERSE ONLY WITH ENGINES
RUNNING.
