TM 5-6115-593-12 TO 35C2-3-463-1 A. STARTING WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 40°F (4°C) AND PREHEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED: STEP 1. TOGGLE MASTER SWITCH TO THE START POSITION. STEP 2. WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 40°F (4°C) AND THE PREHEAT SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN USED, ENGINE ETHER PRIMER MAY BE REQUIRED. DO USE ETHER PRIMER, MOMENTARILY PLACE START AID SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION AND RELEASE WHILE CRANKING ENGINE. EACH TIME START AID SWITCH IS CYCLED, ETHER IS INJECTED INTO THE ENGINE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM. AFTER START OCCURS, IF ENGINE SPEED OR FREQUENCY BEGIN TO DECREASE, ADDITIONAL ETHER CAN BE INJECTED BY CYCLING START AID SWITCH AS LONG AS ENGINE RPM IS BELOW 1200 RPM. STEP 3. CHECK ERG FAULT INDICATORS AND ANNUNCIATOR BY PLACING ANNUNCIATOR TEST SWITCH IN TEST POSITION. IF NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE ON AFTER BEING TESTED, PROCEED WITH THE NEXT STEP. IF A LIGHT DOES CONE ON, THE INDICATED FAULT BEFORE PROCEEDING. STEP 4. VOLTS AC METER SHOULD INDICATE 208 OR 416 VOLTS IF VOLTMETER SWITCH IS SET AT GEN 1-2, GEN 2-3, OR GEN 3-1. STEP 5. ALLOW ENGINE TO WARM UP FOR 15 MINUTES AT NO LOAD. STEP 6. SET VOLT ADJ SWITCH AS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN PROPER VOLTAGE OUTPUT STATED IN STEP 4, ABOVE. STEP 7. OPERATE FREQ ADJ SWITCH TO OBTAIN PROPER FREQUENCY. STEP 8. PRIOR TO CLOSING THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER (AS EXPLAINED IN STEP 9, BELOW), CHECK GEN FAULT INDICATOR AND ANNUNCIATOR BY PLACING ANNUNCIATOR TEST SWITCH IN THE TEST POSITION. IF NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE ON AFTER BEING TESTED PROCEED WITH STEP 9. IF A LIGHT DOES COME ON, CORRECT THE INDICATED FAULT BEFORE PROCEEDING. WARNING PLACING AC PWR CKT BKR TO CLOSE APPLIES POWER TO OUTPUT LOAD TERMINALS AND LOAD LINES. ENSURE ALL PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF OUTPUT LOAD TERMINALS. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT. STEP 9. TOGGLE THE AC PWR CKT BKR SWITCH TO THE CLOSE POSITION FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS TO CLOSE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER. CLOSED INDICATOR SHOULD CONE ON. B. STARTING WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 40°F (4°C) AND PREHEAT IS USED: NOTE ENGINE PREHEAT SYSTEM COT BE ACTIVATED FROM THE RBE CONTROL MODULE. STEP 1. ENSURE THAT PREHEAT SYSTEM HAS BEEN OPERATED A MINIMUM OF 6 HOURS PRIOR TO START-UP. (STEP B1(A), (B), (C) AND (D) OF FIGURE 2-6.) STEP 2. TOGGLE MASTER SWITCH ON R CONTROL NODULE TO THE START POSITION. STEP 3. CONTINUE AS IN STEPS 3 THROUGH 9, ABOVE. NOTE WHEN ENGINE PREHEAT AT SYSTEM HAS BEEN USED, NO ADDITIONAL WARN-UP TIME IS NEEDED. Figure 2-16. Starting Instructions Using Remote Control Module (Sheet 2 of 2) 2-35
