5 - Exhaust gas temperature check and adjustment

- Remove the exhaust gas temperature indicator from its housing.

- Connect a disconnect box to the wires &om the thermocouples ; the aircraft U;T indicator and the
pyrometric tester (see chapter 77-20-I) will be connected in tum to the discozmect box.

- Select engine rpm as required to read 7OoOC on tester, then switch over to aircraft EGT indicator.

- The EGT reading should be between 690 and 710°C.

- If the difference is more than 10°C, try to bring the exhaust gas temperature back within the above
range by means of the aircraft EGT indicator adjustment screw (Take outside air temperature- into
account).

- If the exhaust gas temperatie coot be adjusted within the required range, change the aircraft
EGT indicator and check the exhaust gas temperature indicating line (see chapter 77-20-l).

8 - Engine shutdown

A - Run the engine at idle rpm for about 2 minutes for cooling purposes,

NOTE : In an emergency the engine may be shut down i?om any operating position by returning
- the throttle control lever to “OFF”. If possible, watch engine deceleration in order to
detect any possible unusual noise.

B - Retard the throttle control lever to “OFF” and clock the engine run-down time,

C - When the gas generator has come to a stop, turn the LP pump and the transfer pump off. Check
for abnormal oil or fuel leaks.
A fuel quantity between 50 and 100 cc should flow &om the drain unit (door No.511) after the
throttle control lever has been brought back to the “OFF” position.

CAUTION : CLOSELY WATCH EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN. IF

IT EXCEEDS 260°C (500°F) AND STARTS lNCREASlNG, THIS IS AN INDICATION
OF FIRE INSIDE THE ENGINE. ENSURE THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER IS
IN THE “OFF” POSITION AND MOTOR THE ENGINE (BY MEANS OF THE STARTER)
UNTIL THE FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED (DRY VENTlLATION).

9 - Final steps (Aircraft remaining on ground)

A - Enter in the aircraft logbook any special remark regarding engine operation,

B - Service oil tank if necessary.

C - Install air intake and exhaust nozzle covers after the engine has cooled down
(30 minutes approximately).

D - Protect the engine against weather by keeping it covered during periods of non-operation.
