TASK 71-00-00-710-002-B
Wet Motoring Check

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL ENGINE OPERATING AREAS ARE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. ALL
RAMPS, TAXIWAYS, RUNWAYS AND OTHER OPERATING AREAS MUST BE VERY CLEAN
TO PREVENT BAD DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, AIRCRAFT AND PERSONS IN THE AREA.

WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO STOP THE FAN FROM TURNING BY HAND. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO
THE PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE LANDING GEAR GROUND SAFETIES AND THE WHEEL CHOCKS
ARE IN POSITION. MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE DANGEROUS.

WARNING: DO NOT PERFORM WET-MOTORING IN A HANGAR OR IN A CLOSED AREA.


A LARGE QUANTITY OF HIGHLY FLAMMABLE FUEL VAPORS COME OUT FROM THE EN-
GINE DURING THIS PROCEDURE AND THERE IS A RISK OF FIRE.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TRAVEL RANGES OF THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES ARE
CLEAR BEFORE YOU MOTOR THE ENGINE. MOVEMENT OF THE FLIGHT CONTROL SUR-
FACES CAN BE DANGEROUS AND/OR CAUSE DAMAGE.

WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE PROBES DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS PROCEDURE. THE
PROBES WILL BE HOT AND CAN BURN YOU.

CAUTION: - SEE THE APPLICABLE FIGURE FOR WIND LIMIT RESTRICTIONS WHEN THE ENGINE OP-
ERATES.
- NATURAL WINDS AND IRREGULAR FORCES FROM SUDDEN GUSTS INCREASE THE
DANGEROUS AREA.
- DO NOT GO ABOVE OPEN COWLING LIMITATIONS WHEN YOU DO THE TESTS.
- THE OPERATOR MUST FULLY KNOW ALL THE OPERATING LIMITS AND PROCEDURES
BEFORE THE ENGINE OPERATES.

CAUTION: DO NOT REPLACE AN IDLE LEAK CHECK BY A MOTORING TEST. YOU CANNOT DETECT
POTENTIAL OIL LEAKS WITH A MOTORING TEST. IF YOU DO A MOTORING TEST INSTEAD
OF AN IDLE LEAK CHECK, YOU CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO HYDRAULIC GROUND POWER SUPPLY CONNECTED TO
THE AIRCRAFT WHEN YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE. IF A HYDRAULIC GROUND POWER SUP-
PLY IS CONNECTED, THERE IS A RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE PUMPS.

CAUTION: REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVERS FROM THE PROBES BEFORE YOU DO THIS PROCED-
URE.

1. Reason for the Job


Wet motoring is necessary for maintenance checks where you must turn the engine and have fuel flow without
ignition:
· leak check of the fuel system,
· when engine is removed from storage
· to prime the engine fuel system after maintenance
The dry motoring check can be necessary during or after inspection or maintenance. The dry
motoring check makes sure that the engine will turn freely and that the instruments operate correctly,
and that the operation of the starter meets the speed requirements for successful starts. It can be

Operations (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-869-003) .
(2) Make sure that the engine inlet and exhaust covers are removed. Make sure that these areas are
clear of unwanted objects.
(3) Make a visual check of the temperature sensors, fan inlet, and exhaust areas. If snow or ice has
collected in the fan duct, make sure that the fan turns freely. Also, make sure that the engine inlet,
inlet lip, fan, spinner, and fan exhaust duct are clear of ice or snow. If the fan does not turn freely, you
must melt the ice or snow with hot air before an engine operation.
(4) Look at the general condition of the fan spinner and fan blades, core exhaust nozzle, LPT and
external surfaces of the cowls.
(5) Do a check of the oil quantity. Make a check of the drain ports for fuel, oil and hydraulic leaks
(Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-790-002) . Also make sure that fuel drained from the engine does not
cause a fire.

(3) On the lower ECAM display unit:
(a) Get the HYDRAULIC page.
(b) Make sure that the pressure of the Green reservoir for the engine 1 (Yellow reservoir for the
engine 2) is correct.
(c) Make sure that the reservoir fluid level is correct.
(4) Make sure that the HYD engine 1(2) pump is serviceable (on the HYD/FUEL panel 40VU, the OFF
legend of the ENG 1(2) PUMP pushbutton switch must be off).

NOTE: Make sure that you do not go over the starter


limits that follow:
- no engagement of the starter when the
core speed is above 20 percent.
- the acceptable duty cycles can be per-
formed by using one the three following
procedures:
- 4 consecutive cycles, each of 2 minutes
duration with a 20 second rest between 2
consecutive attempts. After 4 cycles, wait
15 minutes to allow starter to cool before
you try a new start or motoring.
- one 5 minute cycle followed by a cool-
ing period of 2 minutes after the first mo-
toring and a 10 minutes interval between
the following ones.
- one 15 minute cycle followed by a 15
minute cooling period before you try a
new start or motoring.
It is recommended to use the 15 minute
cycle only for cooling the engine to do a
borescope inspection.

NOTE: While the engine is motored, do a visual


check for leaks at the fuel and oil system
tubes and manifolds.

NOTE: Hydromechanical Units (HMUs) that have fluorocarbon (Viton) external seals (SB 73-015) can
leak fuel for a short time when they are below 0 deg.C (32.00 deg.F) (Modification 1 and 2)
(Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-790-002) . If the ambient temperature is below -40 deg.C (-40.00

NOTE: The HMU should be warm to the touch but not hot.

(2) Make a check of the fuel-nozzle manifold-shrouds for leaks. No leaks are permitted.
