PROPULSION ENGINE STARTUP (continued)
NOTE
If either engine fails to start after four attempts, troubleshoot the engine according to
the guidelines in WP 0037 00. Refer also to the troubleshooting procedures in TM 5-
2815-231-14.
5.
If the engine fails to start after depleting the accumulator pressure from the standby accumulator, recharge the accumu-
lators using the hand charge pump as described in WP 0022 00. If the engine fails to start after four attempts, proceed
to the troubleshooting procedures found in TM 5-2815-231-14.
6.
Immediately after the engine starts, observe the engine oil pressure gauge. If low or no oil pressure is indicated after 15
seconds of operation, stop the engine by referring to the Propulsion Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package.
After stopping the engine refer to the troubleshooting procedures in TM 5-2815-231-14.
7.
Repeat steps 1-6 to start the port propulsion engine.
8.
Allow the engines to run at part throttle (1000 to 1200 r/min) and no load for 5 minutes to warm up. As the engines are
warming up, observe the following gauges:
a.
Coolant temperature (3): 160 to 185 F (71.1 to 85 C) is normal. If the temperature exceeds this range, stop the engine
by referring to the Propulsion Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package and proceed to the troubleshooting
procedures found in TM 5-2815-231-14.
b.
Engine oil pressure (4): 20 to 30 lb/in (1.4 to 2.1 bar) is normal. If the engine oil pressure drops below this range, stop
the engine by referring to the Propulsion Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package and proceed to the
troubleshooting procedures found in TM 5-2815-231-14.
c.
Transmission oil pressure (5): 50 lb/in (3.4 bar) in neutral is normal. If the transmission oil pressure drops below this
range, stop the engine by referring to the Propulsion Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package and proceed
to the troubleshooting procedures found in TM 5-2815-231-14.
d.
Ammeter (6): charging rate will vary depending upon the state of charge of the batteries and the current load. If the
ammeter shows a discharge, stop the engine by referring to the Propulsion Engine Shutdown procedure in this work
package and proceed to the troubleshooting procedures found in WP 0033 00.
e.
Tachometer (7): tachometer reading should change with engine speed. If the tachometer is inoperative, stop the
engine by referring to the Propulsion Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package and proceed to the trouble-
shooting procedures found in TM 5-2815-231-14.
