ENGINE - TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. General

1.1. The present Topic has been compiled proceeding from the following assumptions:

- The operation of the engine is carried out in compliance with the requirements described in the present
Maintenance Manual, Helicopter Maintenance Manual and Helicopter Flight Manual.

- The helicopter systems associated with the engine are in serviceable condition.

- The electrical circuits supplying power to the engine accessories and monitoring instruments are
properly connected to them and in serviceable condition.

- Readings of the instruments and warning/indicating devices monitoring the performance of the engine
are genuine.

1.2. While locating and eliminating engine troubles, it is important to clearly define the symptoms of a trouble
and then to check possible causes of a trouble starting from the most probable one and proceeding until
the cause of the trouble has been isolated.

1.3. On completion of a trouble shooting procedure, return all adjusting elements, that have been disturbed in
the course of the trouble shooting but have no relation to the elimination of the trouble, to the initial
position.

If any structural elements in the course of trouble shooting were removed, re-fit them to their places.

1.4. On elimination of a defect in compliance with the requirements of the Topic "Trouble Shooting" of the
present Maintenance Manual, the engine is cleared for further operation.

1.5. Some engine models may have additional trouble shooting procedures, which are described in Book 3,
072.00.00.

2. List of Engine Faults Possible in Service

Leakage of Oil from the Fourth and Fifth Support Assemblies of the Free Turbine Housing

Check oil level in helicopter gearbox. Bring oil level to normal if gearbox is overfilled

Oil leakage several hours (days) after shutdown

Place helicopter approximately to horizontal position. On the M i-17 type helicopter, the nose
landing gear strut should be "compressed" (check by reference to helicopter tail bumper skid
height above the site - not less than 1 m). If necessary, place helicopter approximately to
horizontal position by "compressing" nose landing gear strut

When outside air temperature is below -20 °C, prior to starting engine, heat free turbine fourth and
fifth support assemblies with hot air at a temperature of not more than +80 °C for at least 20 min

At outside air temperature above -20 °C, inspect exhaust stack struts, ejector ring, cone boom, second
supply assembly, oil tank and ejector bleed off ports. Check to see whether air inlet holes in the
gearbox flange are oiled. Determine the moment leak shows up (with engine running, after engine
shutdown, after prolonged engine shutdown)

To prevent overfilling of third support assembly oil chamber and subsequent oil flow to
fourth and fifth support assemblies, replace sealing ring in connection of oil feed to third
support assembly (Ref. 072.53.00, Task Card No. 205)

If exhaust stack at gearbox side or especially air inlet holes in gearbox flange are found
to be oiled, open ДТА transmitter access door. Inspect all accessible areas (on new free
turbine modules provided with narrow access door, remove lower transmitter) and check
to see. whether there is some oil in the casing tray If:

Transmitters are dry and traces of Transmitters are dry but traces of oil Transmitters are coated with
oil are not detected on the inner are detected on the inner surface of oil and there is some oil in the
surface of tapered boom tapered boom tray

Wipe oiled surfaces with cloth soaked in gasoline and allow them to
dry. Check oil level in the oil tank. Start engine and run it at power
conditions. Check oil system back pressure, with the engine running.
Perform 2 to 3 engine partial accelerations in succession. After engine
is shut down, check oil level in oil tank and determine oil
consumption. Subject free turbine module to repeated inspection and
determine the moment leakage shows up. If oil leakage is detected
after engine shutdown:
