STARTING
1. General
This Section tells you about the system that cranks the AE E4-B engine for starting.
Refer to Section 24-60 for more data on the electrical supplies to the system Refer to Section 76-00
for data about the engine control system.
2. Description and Operation
Figure 1 shows the simplified schematic diagram of the starter system. The system operates off a
24 Volts DC supply.
The AE E4-B engine has a small, high-powered electric starter. The starter motor is located on the left
side of the engine near the front. It has an integral solenoid to connect the starter motor to the relay
junction box bus. Either the airplane battery or the external power system can supply the bus for the
starter.
The ELECT. MASTER rocker switch is located on the bottom left of the instrument panel. Push the
rocker to supply power to the main left and right bus bars.
LEFT ENGINE and RIGHT ENGINE switches located on the bottom left of the instrument panel
controls the ground connection for the related engine starter relays. This switch must be set to ON for
the starter system to operate. A key operated START switch located between the LEFT ENGINE and
RIGHT ENGINE master switches operates the related engine starter. Turn the key to LEFT START
or RIGHT START to operate the related engine starter. A spring returns the key to the neutral position
when the key is released.
A START warning light on the ALERT panel of the integrated cockpit display comes ON when there
is power to the starter. If this light stays on after the engine has started, set the LEFT ENGINE/RIGHT
ENGINE MASTER switch to OFF.
If necessary during starting, the engine control unit operates the glow plugs to heat intake air for the
engine.
