    ENGINE STARTING -- ENGINE START SYSTEM - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

    Purpose
    The start system supplies pneumatic power for the engine starter.

    Functional Description
    The start system has pneumatic ducting which is used for air supply to the
    pneumatic system.

    The start system on the engine has these parts:


    - Start valve
    - Starter
    - 5th stage bleed valve.

    The air supply for engine starting comes from any of these sources:
    - APU
    - Pneumatic ground cart
    - Operating opposite engine.

    Engine starting requires the operation of these valves:


    - Isolation valve - open
    - Wing thermal anti-ice valves - closed
    - Pack valves - closed
    - Pressure regulating and shutoff valve (PRSOV) - open for cross bleeding from
    operating engine.

    With the start valve open, air from the pneumatic manifold goes to the starter and
    opens the 5th stage bleed valve.

    ENGINE STARTING -- START VALVE - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

    Purpose
    The start valve allows air from the pneumatic manifold to be supplied to the engine
    starter.

    Location
    The start valve is above the starter on the left side of the engine. Two clamps
    connect the start valve to the pneumatic ducting by.

    Physical Description
    The start valve is a solenoid controlled and pneumatically operated valve. It is spring
    loaded to the closed position.

    These are the parts of the valve:


    - Valve body containing the disk
    - Solenoid powered by 28v dc
    - Electrical connector for solenoid and valve position switch
    - Pneumatic actuator assembly
    - Pressure relief valve
    - Start bleed valve (5th stage compressor relief) pneumatic connection
    - Manual drive connection and valve position indicator.

    Functional Description
    When the solenoid is de-energize, an internal spring and air pressure on one side of
    the actuator holds the valve closed. When the solenoid energizes, pressure vents
    and the other side of the actuator pressurizes.

    The spring force is overcome and the valve opens. The relief valve protects the
    actuator when the inlet pressure becomes excessive.

    ENGINE STARTING -- START VALVE - MANUAL OPERATION

    Training Information Point


    You open the start valve manually. To do this, use a 3/8 inch square drive. Insert the
    drive into the manual drive port on the valve. Access to this port is through a hole in
    the left fan cowl. Next to the hole are instructions for opening and closing of the start
    valve.

    During manual operation of the valve, communication between the ground personnel
    and the flight compartment must be maintained.

    WARNING:
    A 1/2 INCH VERTICAL STRIP IS PAINTED ON THE ENGINE FAN COWL AFT OF
    THE START VALVE ACCESS PORT. DO NOT STEP FORWARD OF THIS LINE
    WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT
    FROM BEING DRAWN INTO THE INLETOF AN OPERATING ENGINE.

    CAUTION:
    STARTER MAY BE DAMAGED IF START VALVE IS NOT CLOSED WHEN N2
    INDICATION SHOWS 46.33% RPM.

    CAUTION:
    MANUAL OPERATION OF START VALVE WITHOUT AIR PRESSURE IN INLET
    DUCT MAY DAMAGE VALVE.

    ENGINE STARTING -- ENGINE STARTER - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

    Purpose
    The engine starter converts compressed air pressure into rotational mechanical
    energy. This energy is sufficient to accelerate the engine to starting speed.

    Location
    The starter is on the forward face of the accessory gearbox. The start valve is above
    the starter.

    Physical Description
    The starter is a single stage, axial flow, turbine -air motor. Air goes from the
    pneumatic system through a start valve. The air exhausts from the starter into the
    space between the engine and the fan cowl.

    These starter oil system parts are on the starter:


    - Oil service port with a dipstick
    - Oil level sight glass
    - Oil drain plug with magnetic chip detector.

    Functional Description
    When the start valve is open, air goes to the starter turbine wheel. This rotates the
    turbine at high speed.
    A reduction gear system changes this energy to low speed, high torque at the output
    shaft. The output shaft drives the high pressure compressor through the accessory
    gearbox. An internal clutch mechanism provides automatic disengagement at high
    speed.

    Training Information Point


    You service the starter with oil through the service port which has a dipstick. At the
    base of the starter is a drain plug with a magnetic chip detector.

    ENGINE STARTING -- ENGINE STARTER INSTALLATION

    Training Information Point


    The starter attaches to the accessory gearbox adapter by a clamp. Three aligning
    pins on the adapter insure proper location.

    You have to remove the clamp connecting the start valve to the starter before starter
    removal. The air inlet on the starter has a start valve index key for valve alignment
    with the starter.

    ENGINE STARTING -- START VALVE - CONTROL AND INDICATION

    Functional Description
    To do these things, put the engine start switch to the GND position:
    - Energize the start switch holding coil
    - Operate the start valve solenoid.

    When the engine rpm (N2) is below 46%, the primary engine display unit supplies a
    ground for the engine 1 N2 tach relay R357. This relay energizes and supplies a
    ground for the start valve switch holding coil.

    When the engine gets to an N2 rpm more than 46%, relay R357 deenergizes. This
    releases the start switch holding coil, and the switch goes to the OFF position.

    If there is no signal from the primary engine display unit, you must hold the start
    switch in the GND position. You must release the switch to the OFF position to stop
    the starter when N2 gets to 46% rpm.

    When the start valve solenoid operates, and air is available, the start valve opens.
    The valve moves a position switch from the closed to the not closed position. In the
    not closed position the START VALVE OPEN amber light on P2 panel comes on.
