Motor the Engine (Dry Method) [PW11]


TASK 71-00-00-860-817-A
Motor the Engine (Dry Method)


WARNING: WHEN YOU GO NEAR A JET ENGINE, BE CAREFUL TO STAY AWAY FROM THE INLET AREA. AN ENGINE HAS SUFFICIENT SUCTION AT THE INLET TO PULL A PERSON UP TO THE INLET OR INTO IT. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THE INLET CAN ALSO PULL HATS, GLASSES, LOOSE CLOTHING, OR RAGS FROM POCKETS. REMOVE OR MAKE SAFE ALL LOOSE ITEMS BEFORE YOU DO WORK AROUND AN ENGINE.
WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE AND THE ADJACENT COMPONENTS AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN. THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE OIL AND THE ADJACENT COMPONENTS CAN STAY HOT FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS INSTRUCTION, INJURY CAN OCCUR.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL ENGINE-IN-OPERATION AREAS (RAMPS, TAXIWAYS, RUNWAYS, ETC.) ARE SUFFICIENTLY CLEAN TO PREVENT INJURY TO THE PERSONS IN THE AREA AND DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OR AIRCRAFT.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TRAVEL RANGES OF THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES ARE CLEAR BEFORE YOU MOTOR THE ENGINE. MOVEMENT OF THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES CAN BE DANGEROUS AND/OR CAUSE DAMAGE.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE PROBES DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS PROCEDURE. THE PROBES WILL BE HOT AND CAN BURN YOU.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND SAFETY-LOCKS ARE IN POSITION ON THE LANDING GEAR. THIS WILL PREVENT UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF THE LANDING GEAR, AND THUS POSSIBLE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE LANDING GEAR GROUND SAFETIES AND THE WHEEL CHOCKS ARE IN POSITION. MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO HYDRAULIC GROUND POWER SUPPLY CONNECTED TO THE AIRCRAFT WHEN YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE. IF A GROUND POWER SUPPLY IS CONNECTED, THERE IS A RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE PUMPS.
CAUTION: BEFORE YOU OPERATE THE ENGINE, LOOK AT THE INLET AND THE AREA AROUND IT (MAKE SURE THE AREA IS CLEAN). DIRT AND LOOSE OBJECTS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE IF THEY GET INTO THE ENGINE.

1. Reason for the Job
This dry-motor procedure uses the engine starter only to operate the engine for a short time to remove unburned fuel from the engine or cool the engine down to acceptable levels if the engine was too hot at shutdown.
The dry-motor leak test uses the engine starter only to operate the engine for a short time. The ignition system is OFF for this test. The fuel goes to the fuel pump (for pump lubrication) but not to the engine fuel manifolds and nozzles. The actuators fuel pressure lines are not pressurized. This procedure is recommended for most motor checks unless the wet-motor check is specified.
NOTE: During a motoring sequence on the ground, the EEC automatically determines if Motoring to Start is required for BOWED ROTOR PROTECTION. The EEC keeps the N2 speed at a low value (approximately 10% N2) for a calculated duration based on time since shutdown, OAT and engine turbine temperature. During Motoring to Start, a "COOLING" indication is displayed on the upper ECAM display unit. When the Motoring to Start period is complete, the EEC will continue to normal engine start. If N2 exceeds the maximum speed for BOWED ROTOR PROTECTION during motoring to start, the EEC will abort the motoring and the warning ENG X START FAULT (BOWED ROTOR PROTECTION) will be displayed.

4. Procedure
CAUTION: WIPE CLEAN ALL PARTS AND TOOLS AS NECESSARY TO REMOVE UNWANTED DEBRIS AND PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
Subtask 71-00-00-860-184-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Dry-Motor the Engine
   (1) Do the engine dry-motoring as follows:
     (a) Set the ENG/MODE rotary selector switch to the CRANK position.
     (b) Set the ENG/MAN START 1(2) pushbutton switch to the ON position.
     (c) Operate the starter
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE STARTER FOR MORE THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES. IF YOU DO, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STARTER.
       1 Operate the starter for as long as necessary but not for more than the starter duty cycle.
         a The starter duty cycle is as follows:
  • Three start attempts
  • 35 seconds cooling period between each start attempt
  • 15 minutes cumulative cranking
  • Followed by 15 minutes minimum period when N2 speed is zero (0) RPM.
NOTE: The EEC will automatically command the starter air valve closed after 15 minutes to ensure the starter duty cycle is not exceed.
         b The extended starter duty cycle is as follows:
  • 15 minutes maximum continuous cranking
  • Followed by 15 minutes minimum period when N2 speed is zero (0) RPM.
NOTE: The EEC will automatically command the starter air valve closed after 15 minutes to ensure the starter duty cycle is not exceed.
     (d) On the lower ECAM display unit, do a check of the main oil pressure. The pressure must be positive.
     (e) On the upper ECAM display unit, do a check of the N1 and N2 speeds. Both of the rotors must turn.
     (f) On the overhead CTL&IND panel 22VU, set the ENG/MAN START 1(2) pushbutton switch to the OFF position.
     (g) Make sure that N2 is decreasing.
     (h) Set the ENG/MODE rotary selector switch to the NORM position.
     (i) If you find any leaks, repair all leaks and leak test the engine again.
