System/Event Alarm Shutdown 10 Seconds Later Minimum Load Abort Start Notes Reference
The events listed in this section are conditions that are not specifically handled by the engine control system or which are not part of any of the specific engine or package
systems shown previously in the table. These events are either a single symptom or combination of symptoms with no specific set of setpoints that can be monitored by the
control. These events and conditions must be monitored by the operator and corrected as they occur.
The combinations of conditions shown in this section do not cause any sort of alarm or control action to be initiated; however, individual symptoms that are part of any of the
combinations shown here may cause an alarm or control action, just as they normally would when occurring alone (such as low pressure).

1. dPi is defined as the FOD screen pressure drop (dP) value measured at site commissioning.
Volume I
2. Not used.
GEK 105061
3. Flameout signal is ignored by the control if XN25 is greater than 9,500 rpm; if a flameout has actually occurred, the loss-of-
flame logic will initiate a shutdown when XN25 drops below the 9,500 rpm threshold and a delay of 320 msec.
4. Control system defaults to remaining sensor/element.
Change 5
5. Defaults to fully closed, zero fuel flow position.
6. Defaults to 14.69 psia (101.3 kPa).
7. Torquemotor current is set to zero.
8. Defaults to 665 psia (4,585 kPa).
9. Emergency Shutdown: Close fuel and bleed valves, VBV to kicker schedule. No motoring of engine allowed.
10. Core VIGV torquemotor current defaults to 0mA (VIGVs closed).
11. Control system defaults to T2 = 115°F (46°C), if both sensors fail.
12. I means Absolute Value - The value of a number, regardless of a prefix plus or minus sign e.g. I -100I= 100.
13. Defaults to T25 = 200°F (93°C), if both sensors fail.
14. Defaults to 200°F (93°C), if both pairs fail.
15. Defaults to higher signal (more closed position).
16. Defaults to higher signal (more open position).
17. Sensor loss overridden at less than core idle plus 60 seconds.
18. Contact the packager if optional redundant temperature sensors (four elements per parameter) are used.
19. Alarm limits are based on component capability and may be reduced, consistent with the characteristics of each installation.
For application and site conditions that have the potential for reaching alarm limits under normal load conditions, active
controls must be available to limit fuel flow before operating limits are exceeded.
20. This alarm/shutdown is enabled 60 seconds after reaching core idle during the starting sequence.
21. Shutdowns caused by stall detection or variable geometry system faults require borescope inspection of the compressors.
25. Any T48 thermocouple probe reading is rejected from the T48 average calculation if it is:
(1) out of range; T48 <350°F (177°C) or >1,900°F (>1,038°C)
(2) 1,000°F (538°C) > or < 1,000°F (538°C) from T48 average.
26. Reject from spread calculations any thermocouple probe reading that is out of range.
27. These limits apply only at steady state conditions above 9,000 rpm XN25.
28. Alarm is triggered only if the condition persists for 10 seconds or more after initial detection.
29. Emergency shutdown: Close fuel and bleed valves, open gas blowoff valve, VBV to kicker schedule.
30. Defaults to last good value.
GE Industrial AeroDerivative Gas Turbines
31. LP rotor conditions are assessed by use of the highest speed signal from the speed sensors (XN2a, XN2b, XNSDa,
XNSDb).
32. This condition or combination of conditions requires operator intervention, but does not, by itself, cause the control system
to initiate any sort of action.
33. Defaults to higher signal.
34. Sensor removed from pair average.
35. Defaults to 2,000 rpm if both sensors fail.
36. Defaults to last good value if both sensors fail.
37. XN25>4,600 rpm for 0.5 seconds.
38. Defaults to minimum select.
39. Load addition inhibited by control at lube supply temperature less than 90°F (32°C).

NOTE A starting stall is characterized by a hung start, slow acceleration to idle, lower than
normal fuel manifold pressure (or fuel flow), and higher than normal power turbine inlet temper-
ature (T48). Occasionally, the stall will continue at idle power. A stall at idle can be recognized
by one or a combination of any of the following symptoms: higher than normal T48, higher than
normal fuel manifold pressure, or XN25 does not increase or is sluggish when power is advanced

F. Clean HPC case in area of bushings, taking care to ensure that no material enters the
HPC case. Remove all preformed packing residue and inspect HPC case for damage per
WP 4012 00.
G. Inspect threaded holes in high-boss case (12). Ensure internal threads are not damaged.
CAUTION
NOTE
There are 3 bolts, J644P04F, indicated in the parts list (paragraph 6).
These bolts are to be used, one per stage, in one of the bushings adja-
cent to the borescope plug. This bolt is configured with a safety-wire
hole and is to be used to safety-wire the borescope plug in position.
(2) Visually check for evidence of locking feature on bolts (7). Lightly coat threads and
seating surfaces of bolts with thread lubricant.
(a) Install self-locking bolts by hand into case. If bolts can be run into case without
stopping, self-locking feature is not adequate. Replace bolt with new bolt.
(b) If bolthole condition does not allow any self-locking fastener to engage locking fea-
ture, remove adjacent self-locking bolt and install two non-self-locking bolts so they
may be safety-wired or safety-cabled together.
(3) Secure bushing (6) with two bolts (7), 1855M35P08 or J644P04F. Install bolts by hand
into case. Maximum installation torque of bolts is not to exceed 40 lb in. (4.5 N·m).

(e) Tighten jamnut (3) to 50-70 lb in. (5.6-7.9 N·m) of torque. Replace jamnut if run-on
torque exceeds 20 lb in. (2.3 N·m).
CAUTION
Ensure that all stages 3-5 stator vanes have the letter V marked at
top of vane stem. Apex of V shall point forward. Failure to comply
may result in serious engine or part damage.
NOTE
A 0.0 lb in. (0.0 N·m) torque limit implies that vane can rotate with a
minimum force applied. However, it is important to ensure that the
vane assembly is not loose after assembly as a result of a spacer that is
too thin. Vane assembly should be tight and should not rattle or dem-
onstrate any looseness.
(6) Reset torque wrench to 10 lb in. (1.1 N·m). Manually rotate vane (9) several times to
ensure vane is seated. Ensure vane rotational torque is within range of 0 to 10 lb in.
(0.0 to 1.1 N·m). Replace spacer (5) as required to obtain proper rotational torque. A
thinner spacer will reduce rotational torque. A thicker spacer will increase rotational
torque. Record rotational torque.
(7) Small changes to vane rotational torque may be accomplished by lapping spacer (5) face,
using a figure eight motion to remove material. Final surface finish shall match original.
(8) Install new actuation ring sleeve (10) into actuation ring (11).
(9) Install lever arm (2) onto vane (9). Flat on lever arm faces forward. Insert pin end of
lever arm into actuation ring sleeve.
(10) Install locknut (1) onto vane (9) by hand. If nuts can be run onto vane without stopping,
self-locking feature is not adequate. Replace nut with new nut. Tighten locknut to
50-70 lb in. (5.6-7.9 N·m) of torque. Take care when torquing nut to prevent lever arm
damage.

1. Introduction.
A. This subordinate work package contains information concerning installation of core module
external tubing, harnesses, and clamping.
B. The following general instructions shall be met any time tubing, electrical leads, harnesses, or
cables are disturbed:
(1) Unless otherwise specified, the bend radii for an electrical lead, cable, or harness must
exhibit a smooth transition. No kinks allowed.
(2) Electrical connections of heads and harnesses shall conform to the following assembly
points:
(a) Engage the connector with its mating interface and turn knurled coupling ring, while
wiggling the backshell assembly.
(b) After fully seating connector by hand, apply final torque to coupling ring using
teflon-jawed connector pliers. Torque connector 1/4-1/2 turn, or until plier slippage
occurs.
(c) Check for full seating by wiggling accessory assembly. There shall be no movement
with respect to mating connector.
NOTE
(d) Repeat substeps (b) and (c), as required. It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps
that restrict mating.
2 Change 4
(4) Unless otherwise noted, install all bolts with boltheads forward.
(5) If any external tube or manifold does not fit in the free state at assembly within
0.060 inch (1.52 mm) and is known to be within manufacturing tolerance, it shall be
modified by bending as required. After bending, to obtain the required free-state fit, the
following shall apply:
(d) End flange fittings shall seat flush within 0.005 inch (0.13 mm).
(e) End points of tube or manifold shall align with mating connector with 0.060 inch
(1.52 mm) in all planes.
(f) A minimum clearance of 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) shall be maintained between tube
OD and adjacent parts.

1. Introduction.
A. This subordinate work package contains information concerning installation of the low pres-
sure turbine (LPT) module and turbine rear frame (TRF) external, tubing, harnesses, and
clamping.
B. The following general instructions shall be met any time tubing, electrical leads, harnesses, or
cables are disturbed:
(1) Unless otherwise specified, the bend radii for an electrical lead, cable, or harness must
exhibit a smooth transition. No kinks allowed.
(2) Electrical connections of leads and harnesses shall conform to the following assembly
points:
(a) Engage the connector with its mating interface and turn knurled coupling ring, while
wiggling the backshell assembly.
(b) After fully seating connector by hand, apply final torque to coupling ring using
Teflon-jawed pliers. Torque connector 1/4 to 1/2 turn, or until plier slippage occurs.
(c) Check for full seating by wiggling accessory assembly. There shall be no movement
with respect to mating connector.
NOTE
(d) Repeat substeps (b) and (c), as required. It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps
that restrict mating.
(4) Unless otherwise noted, install all bolts with boltheads forward.

(5) If any external tube or manifold does not fit in the free state at assembly within
0.060 inch (1.52 mm) and is known to be within manufacturing tolerance, it shall be
modified by bending as required. After bending to obtain the required free-state fit, the
following shall apply:
(a) Part shall conform to original specification and pressure requirements.
(b) Bend radii shall not be less than manufacturing limits.
(c) Coupling nuts shall thread freely by hand.
(d) End flange fittings shall seat flush within 0.005 inch (0.12 mm).
(e) End points of tube or manifold shall align with mating connector with 0.060 inch
(1.52 mm) in all planes.
(f) A minimum clearance of 0.125 inch (3.17 mm) shall be maintained between tube
OD and adjacent parts.

This procedure is for removal of any number of LPC stages 1-3 rotor
blades. Instructions for grinding blade tips to meet clearance require-
ments are included in paragraph 7. If an entire stage of blades
requires replacement, contact General Electric Customer Service Rep-
resentative to obtain a set of preground blades.
A. Position mark blades using marking pen. See figure 1, view B. Blade 1 is first blade to right
of right locking lug (aft looking forward).

B. Measure blade tip to lower stator case clearance of blades being replaced as follows:
(1) Pull blade radially outward. Shake blade to ensure it is at its most outward position.
(2) Measure clearance between blade tip and edge of lower stator case. Measurement may be
taken from any area on blade tip, provided each blade is measured from the same area.
Record clearance.
(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) for each blade requiring replacement.
C. Mark centerline of locking lugs on outside diameter of disk or spool using marking pen.
E. Loosen setscrews of two locking lugs until lugs will slip below surface of retaining slot suffi-
ciently to permit circumferential movement of blades.
F. Rotate entire stage of blades circumferentially (in either direction) approximately one-half
the width of blade platform, until one blade can be removed from loading slot. If necessary,
tap blades as close to platform as possible using hammer and nylon drift.

NOTE
(2) Hand-grind replacement vane to length of original vane +0.000 to -0.005 inch
(+0.00 to -0.13 mm). Maintain proper length and angle across vane tip. Stages 3-5 vanes
have double angles on tip. Power tools may be used to shorten grinding time but last
0.005 inch (0.13 mm) must be hand ground.
(1) Install high-boss case stages 3-5 stator vanes (figure 27) as follows:
27
(a) Visually check for evidence of locking feature on bolts (7, figure 27). Lightly coat
threads and seating surfaces of bolts with thread lubricant.
1 Install self-locking bolts by hand into case. If bolts can be run into case without
stopping, self-locking feature is not adequate. Replace bolt with new bolt.
2 If bolthole condition does not allow any self-locking fastener to engage locking
feature, remove adjacent self-locking bolt and install two non-self-locking bolts
so they may be safety-wired or safety-cabled together.
(b) Install bushing (6) into high-boss case (12) outer bore. Secure with two bolts (7).
Install bolts by hand into case. Maximum installation torque of bolts is not to exceed
40 lb in. (4.5 N·m). Tighten bolts to 85-105 lb in. (9.6-11.9 N·m) of torque. Install
non-self-locking bolts at borescope locations. Safety-wire or safety-cable bolts to

vane without stopping, self-locking feature is not adequate. Replace nut with new
nut.
CAUTION
Do not use lever arm to hold vane when torquing locknut, or lever
will be damaged.
(g) Using holding tool from holding VSV tool set, 2C6018, and torque wrench, tighten
locknut to 50-70 lb in. (5.6-7.9 N·m).
(2) Measure individual vane (9) rotational torque as follows:
(a) Manually rotate vane (9) several times to ensure assembly is seated.
CAUTION
Failure to meet proper vane rotational torque may cause binding and
result in bent lever arm.
NOTE
A 0.0 lb in. (0.0 N·m) torque limit implies that vane can rotate with a
minimum force applied. However, it is important to ensure that the
vane assembly is not loose after assembly as a result of a spacer that is
too thin. Vane assembly should be tight and should not rattle or dem-
onstrate any looseness.
(b) Ensure vane (9) rotational torque on high-boss case (12) is within 0-10 lb in.
(0.0-1.1 N·m).
(c) On high-boss case (12) installation, obtain vane (9) rotational torque as follows:
1 If rotational torque is below limits, replace spacer (5).
2 If rotational torque is above limits, spacer (5) thickness may be reduced by lap-
ping spacer face, using figure eight motion to remove material. Final surface
finish shall match original.
(d) Record final rotational torque of each vane (9). Torque value will be required for
checking total actuation load for half-ring segments.
60 Change 5
(a) Check each replacement vane for freedom of travel through limits shown in
figure 23. If vane binds, check for interference adjacent to casing bore.
(b) Vane areas adjacent to casing bore may be blended to obtain clearance at travel
limits. See figure 24. Remove only enough material to eliminate interference. Do
not use power tools. Gap in reworked area shall not exceed 0.005 inch (0.13 mm).
Original finish is required. No undercutting is allowed.

VSV holder set, 2C6171, and tighten locknut (1) to 65-75 lb in. (7.3-8.5 N·m) of torque.
Use torque wrench, 2C6965P01.
(4) Hold stages 3-5 vane with holding tool from holding VSV tool set, 2C6018, or
VSV holder set, 2C6171, and tighten locknut (1) on high-boss case (12) to 50-70 lb in.
(5.6-7.9 N·m) of torque.
(1) Inspect stages IGV-4 actuation ring for presence of washers under spacer locknuts.
Install washer, if missing.
(2) Position vanes so lever arms point aft. Measure dim M at each spacer for all stages.
(3) Adjust spacers, as required, to dim M limits. Tighten locknut to 70-90 lb in.
(7.9-10.2 N·m) of torque.

(2) Type 2 Probe (Probe 2). Probe 2 can view objects from 0.375 inch (9.53 mm) to infinity
and is used to do general inspections of the engine. See figure 3. Probe 2 has:
(3) For inspections less than 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) away from probe, magnification adapter
permits variable focus. For objects more than 2.00 inches (50.8 mm) away from probe,
magnification decreases.

Change 5 9
10 Change 5
(4) Magnification Adapter. The magnification adapter has variable focus with 2:1 magnifica-
tion ratio at 2.00 inches (50.8 mm). This permits probe 2 to have more magnification.
The magnification adapter is not recommended for use with probe 1 due to loss of light
intensity. Probe 2 will have brightest image when used with magnification adapter. See
figure 2.
(5) Camera Adapter (Optional). Camera adapter permits inspector to take pictures through
borescope probe when a camera is attached.
(6) Television (Video) Adapter (Optional). Video adapter permits inspector to take video
images or display images on a large screen. It is necessary to use a television/video cam-
era with adapter.
(7) Light Projector (Fiberlight Projector). The fiberlight projector supplies the light source
through flexible cable and probe. Two light sources are available. The 150 watt lamp is
used to do visual inspections of objects near the end of probe. The 300 watt, high-inten-
sity lamp is used for photography, as well as visual inspections of combustion chamber,
HPC inlet areas, etc.
(8) Flexible Fiber Light Cable (Cable). The usual cable is 10.0 feet (3.0 meters) long. An
optional cable that is 8.0 feet (2.4 meters) long is also available.
(9) Eyepiece Adapter (Optional). The eyepiece adapter is used to help prevent eye strain
when borescope is used on engine. It also makes borescope procedure more comfortable
for the user. The eyepiece adapter makes viewing easier by limiting the amount of light
permitted to enter around inspector's eye.
B. Description. The following are optional tools used with the borescope set:
(1) MSE-64 Back-Lighted Conformation Tool. The back-lighted conformation tool is used
to measure optical resolution of borescope system. This is accomplished by directing
light from borescope probe to the back of the back-lighted conformation tool and then
comparing the resolution to the information on a resolution chart. It is necessary to use
the high-intensity light source with a Gemini 300 lamp and a cable that is 10.0 feet
(3 meters) long to do the test.
(2) 856A1321 Fiberscope (Flexible -I-pe). The flexible fiber optic system has an articulated
distal tip. The light for viewing is conducted from the projector to the probe through an
integrally attached fiber light bundle. The distal end can be angulated over a range of
240 degrees of arc vertically at the bending point. The fiberscope is to be used with the
2C6948 guide tube when borescope inspecting the high pressure turbine (HPT) shrouds.
(3) 2C6948 Guide Tube. The guide tube is to be used with the flexible type fiberscope when
borescope inspecting the HPT shrouds.

WARNING
CAUTION
• Do not do a borescope inspection if the temperature inside the
engine is above 150°F (65.6°C).
• If the engine starter is used to motor the engine, the engine hot
section inspections shall be done in less than 20 minutes after the
motoring cycles are completed. Local temperature rise due to
engine temperature soak-back may damage the borescope.
(1) Select which probe to use. Use type 1 probe for high magnification and type 2 probe for
general inspections. Use fiberscope for HPT stage 1 nozzle inspection.
(2) Connect one end of cable to probe and other end to light source.
CAUTION
Before you connect the light source to a power source, be sure that
the on-off switch is in the OFF position. Ensure the light source and
the power supply are correctly grounded.
(3) Check that light source power switch is in OFF position. Connect electrical cable from
light source to a grounded power source.
(4) If necessary, attach magnification adapter to probe eyepiece. If you use probe 1, focus
probe before you attach magnification adapter.
(a) If photographs are to be taken, attach camera adapter to a 35mm camera. Attach
camera and adapter to eyepiece on probe.
12 Change 5
(6) If it is difficult to look through probe when probe is in port, attach 60 or 90 degree angle
adapter to probe eyepiece.
NOTE
The photo arc light circuit has a thermal delay cutout that prevents the
light source from being turned on if it is too hot.
(b) After inserting probe in engine borescope port, adjust light intensity to get correct
illumination.

ther identified. Remove lower drain plug and inspect TGB/A-sump area for any distress.
(5) If suspect material is identified as bolt or rivet fragments, replace component as indicated
by screen identity. Bearing cage rivets indicate a radial drive shaft failure.
(6) If suspect material is identified as pieces of preformed packing, gasket, safety wire, coke,
machining chip, or seal rub strip material, place gas turbine on watch, e.g., check and
clean chip detectors and scavenge pump screens daily and monitor lube system parame-
ters until problem is located or chip detectors and screens are clean for two consecutive
days, then resume normal inspection intervals.
(7) If more information is required, contact customer support manager for clarification.
(2) Check for open continuity of pins to housing and all pins to each other.
(3) Check continuity across chip detector tip control surfaces. Continuity shall not exceed 10

(2) Visually examine suspect material for identification of source. If material can be visually
identified as bearing materials, such as roller, ball and/or race fragments, required cor-
rective action is component replacement. Bearing races, rollers, and balls are magnetic,
therefore, separating out any magnetic materials will help identification. Material prop-
erty analysis may be required. Main engine bearings cannot be replaced on-site. Main
engine bearings may be replaced at depot level. Main bearing failures require replace-
ment of gas turbine or module. See table 1 for possible corrective action details.
(3) Main gas turbine bearing distress usually increases lube scavenge temperatures and gas
turbine vibration, therefore, gas turbine log sheets should be reviewed for significant
changes in gas turbine logged parameters.
(4) If suspect material is found in TGB screen, source shall require further identification.
Inspect TGB/A-sump area for any distress.
(5) If suspect material is identified as bolt or rivet fragments, replace component as indicated
by screen identity.
(6) If suspect material is identified as pieces of preformed packing, gasket, safety wire, coke,
machining chip, or seal rub strip material, place gas turbine on watch, e.g., check and
clean scavenge pump screens daily and monitor lube system parameters until problem is
located or screens are clean for two successive days, then resume normal inspection

1. Introduction.
This work package contains instructions for testing individual installed fuel nozzles for blockage
by performing a flow test. During this test, the calibration data establishes the limit of the accept-
able supply pressure for each circuit and compensates for existing environmental conditions. If
the supply pressure is lower than the value established by the calibration value for that circuit, the
fuel nozzle opening has some blockage.

NOTE
This procedure flow tests the fuel circuits with a minimum amount of
disassembly. If the tests indicate a supply pressure of 2 percent over
the average fuel nozzle pressure, there may be a leak in the fuel nozzle
or fuel hose. Test the individual nozzle per paragraph 7.
A. Position control valve (figure 1) on control panel to CLOSED position.
WARNING
If shop air is not available, then nitrogen (in tank with maximum pres-
sure of 3,000.0 psi [20,684.3 kPa]) can be used but requires use of an
extra regulator, 1C9439P48, provided in the tool's storage case.
Attach the regulator to the nitrogen tank and set the output pressure to
100.0 psi (689.5 kPa). Otherwise, use of the tool is the same as when
shop air is used.
C. Install supply hose (1, figure 2) between filter (2) and shop air or nitrogen. Install supply
hose (3) between filter and inlet connection on control panel (figure 1). Note maximum inlet
pressure is limited to 120.0 psi (827.4 kPa).
D. Connect power cable plug to 110 or 220 volt power supply and turn ON/OFF power switch to
ON position. Ensure that channels 1 and 2 are reading atmospheric pressure.
NOTE
Channels 1 and 2 should agree within 0.15 psi (1.0 kPa). Absolute
accuracy of pressure is not critical to this test but consistency is criti-
cal. If reading drifts with time, calibration or service of manometer
may be required.
E. Set manometer to channel 2 to read SYSTEM PRESSURE. Depress HOLD button when
channel 2 is being displayed.
F. Connect one end of outlet hose (4, figure 2) assembly to outlet connection nipple on control
panel.

WARNING
Pressure of 100 psig (689.5 kPa) exists in the supply lines. Relieve
pressure to prevent injury when disconnecting fittings.
(8) Turn control valve to CLOSED position, and close pressure regulator. Always relieve
pressure in system any time hose connection is changed.
(9) Disconnect outlet hose assembly (4, figure 2) from calibration nipple, 1C9449 (5).
(10) Repeat calibration steps (2) through (9) for other circuits being evaluated.
NOTE
It is recommended to flow test each fuel nozzle in the same ring circuit
before testing the next ring circuit.
NOTE
Three circuits on each fuel nozzle are labeled AN, AL, and AM
(figure 3 and figure 4).
(1) Connect end of outlet hose assembly (4, figure 2) not connected to control panel onto
nipple corresponding to sonic circuit being evaluated. See table 2.
(2) Turn control valve (figure 1) to setting 0.022, 0.044, or 0.063 for sonic nozzle position
being tested per table 2. Set manometer to channel 2 to display system pressure, and
increase pressure by adjusting pressure regulator valve slowly, until system pressure is
19.0 psia (131 kPa).
(3) Change to channel 1 on manometer and read SUPPLY PRESSURE for circuit by press-
ing SCAN button to change channel and then hold button to hold channel. Record chan-
nel 1 supply pressure.

NOTE
(4) Compare supply pressure for this circuit to supply pressure for all the fuel nozzles in the
set by plotting as shown in (figure 5). If supply pressure is lower than average fuel noz-
zle pressure in the set by 2 percent or more, then some blockage exists in the fuel nozzle
and the fuel nozzle should be replaced. If supply pressure is more than 2 percent greater
than average fuel nozzle pressure in the set, then there is a possible leak in the fuel noz-
zle or hose. Retest that nozzle, using paragraph 7, to determine if the leak is in the fuel
nozzle. If test per paragraph 7 shows normal pressure, then hose may have a leak and
should be pressure-tested or replaced. If fuel nozzle pressure remains greater by 2 per-
cent or more than the set average, then replace fuel nozzle and return removed nozzle for
overhaul.
(6) Remove adapter, coupler, and nipple from fuel hose (figure 3).
(7) Repeat steps (1) through (4) for all fuel nozzles in circuit.
WARNING
Pressure of 100 psig exists in the supply lines. Relieve pressure to pre-
vent injury when disconnecting fittings.
K. Once all circuits have been evaluated, turn control valve (figure 1) to CLOSED position and
close pressure regulator valve.
L. Turn power switch to OFF and disconnect power cable cord and all hoses.
