8A-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. A crewmember
should monitor the outside observer throughout the
engine start.
1. BATT switch ON (22 volts minimum).
2. Exterior LIGHTS As required.
3. Propeller area Clear.
4. Engine Start.
CAUTION
If
ignition
does
not
occur
within
10 seconds after moving the condition
lever to LOW IDLE initiate Engine Clearing
procedure, Paragraph 8A-25. If for any
reason
the
starting
attempt
is
discontinued, the entire starting sequence
must be repeated after allowing the engine
to come to a complete stop (1 minute
minimum).
a. IGNITION AND ENGINE START switch
ON. IGN ON annunciator should illuminate
and associated FUEL PRESS annunciator
extinguished.
b. CONDITION lever (after N1 stabilizes at or
above 12% for 5 seconds minimum)
LOW IDLE.
CAUTION
Monitor ITT to avoid a hot start. If there is
a rapid rise in ITT, be prepared to abort the
start before limits are exceeded. During
starting, the maximum allowable ITT is I000
ºC for 5 seconds. If this limit is exceeded,
use Abort Start procedure, Paragraph 8A-
24, and discontinue start. Record the peak
temperature and duration on DA Form
2408-13-1.
c. ITT and N1 Monitor. ITT 1000 °C
maximum. N1 minimum 58%.
d. Oil pressure Check (60 psi minimum).
e. IGNITION AND ENGINE START switch
OFF after 50% N1.
5. Engine and systems instruments Check.
6. CONDITION lever HIGH IDLE. Monitor ITT
as the condition lever is advanced.
NOTE
Ensure N1 is at high idle before turning on
generator.
7. GEN switch RESET, then ON.
a. BATTERY CHG annunciator Monitor.
NOTE
The ICE VANE switch should be set to
EXTEND for all ground operations to
minimize ingestion of ground debris. Set
switch to RETRACT to maintain engine
temperatures within limits.

8A-23. SECOND ENGINE START (BATTERY
START).
1. First engine generator load 50% or less
GEN switch OFF.
2. Propeller area Clear.
3. Engine Start.
a. IGNITION AND ENGINE START switch
ON. IGN ON light should illuminate and
FUEL PRESS light should extinguish.
CAUTION
If
ignition
does
not
occur
within
10 seconds after moving the condition
lever to LOW IDLE, initiate Engine Clearing
procedure, Paragraph 8A-25. If for any
reason
the
starting
attempt
is
discontinued, the entire starting sequence
must be repeated after allowing the engine
to come to a complete stop (1-minute
minimum).
b. First engine GEN switch RESET then ON
when N1 reaches 12%.
c. CONDITION lever (after N1 stabilizes at or
above 12% for 5 seconds minimum)
LOW IDLE.
