Ground Start procedure:
1. Ensure fuel shut off switch, positioned on the left-hand side of the
cockpit, is in the “OPEN” (forward) position
2.
Switch the Jet Master Switch on the JDU to the “ON” position.
3.
Switch the Jet Control toggle switch to the “RUN” position.
4. Only advance the throttle once the engine temperature has
stabilised and it is safe to do so.
CAUTION:
Use ear-protection during all Jet running tests.
WARNING:
Do not touch the engine or have any object close to the
intake or exhaust nozzle during operation.
NOTE:
If the fuel supply lines to the engine require bleeding, it
may take 3 or more start cycles to have a successful start.
A rise in EGT will confirm that fuel is supplied to the
engine and is being ignited.
