TASK 71-00-00-710-012-B
Test No.3 : Idle Leak Check

WARNING: DO NOT DO AN ENGINE RUN-UP AT A POWER ABOVE IDLE WITH THE THRUST REVERSER COWLS AND THE FAN COWL DOORS OPEN. BEFORE YOU DO AN ENGINE RUN-UP AT IDLE WITH THE FAN COWL DOORS OPEN, MAKE SURE THAT THE COWL DOORS ARE SAFETIED BY ALL HOLD-OPEN RODS. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE INSTRUCTIONS, INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR.

ZONE: 400

3. Job Set-up
Subtask 71-00-00-010-152-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Open the fan cowl doors: (Ref. AMM TASK 71-13-00-010-010)

WARNING: BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINES FOR THE IDLE LEAK TEST, MAKE SURE THAT ALL HOLD-OPEN RODS ARE SERVICEABLE AND CORRECTLY LOCKED ON EACH ENGINE. IF ONE HOLD-OPEN ROD IS UNSERVICEABLE, CLOSE AND LATCH THE FAN COWL DOORS CORRECTLY. ONE MISSING OR INCORRECTLY LOCKED HOLD-OPEN ROD CAN CAUSE FAN COWL CLOSURE. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

(1) FOR [1000EM1] (ENGINE-1)
437AL 438AR
(2) FOR [1000EM2] (ENGINE-2)

Subtask 71-00-00-040-090-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE THRUST REVERSER HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) IS DEACTIVATED BEFORE YOU DO WORK ON OR AROUND THE THRUST REVERSER. IF THE HCU IS NOT DEACTIVATED, THERE IS A RISK OF UNWANTED THRUST REVERSER OPERATION WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

B. Deactivate the Thrust Reverser

NOTE: Access to the thrust reverser area is only required if external parts in the core compartment have been disturbed during maintenance.

(1) Deactivate the thrust reverser hydraulic control unit (HCU) (Ref. AMM TASK 78-30-00-040-012).

Subtask 71-00-00-010-153-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

(1) Start the engine with the normal engine automatic start procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-043) or the normal engine manual start procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-047).
(2) Operate the engine at MIN IDLE for at least five minutes.
(3) Make sure that the indications of operation are in the limits of operation, with reference to (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-011) if required:

Make sure that you obey the precautions that are given for persons to operate an engine safely. Injury can result if you do not obey these precautions.
