FCU ADJUSTMENT
Specific Fuel Gravity Jet A/A1, JP5, JP8 Jet B, JP4 AVGAS NOTE: = .81 = .79 = .73

Only adjust if a full load of different fuel is used

1.2

Acceleration Check 1 2 3a 3b 4a Start engine and set it to idle Find target N1 for the day (refer to airframe chart) Perform slam acceleration from idle to 6% below target N1 (JT15D-1 and 4 series) Perform slam acceleration from flight idle (52%) to 6% below the target N1 (JT15D-5 series) Ensure acceleration is within 7.5 seconds with ignition OFF and 5.3 seconds with ignition ON (JT15D-1 and 4 series) Ensure acceleration is within 5.0 to 7.5 seconds (JT15D-5 series) The difference in acceleration time is caused by the step modulator that is energised when the ignition is switched ON (JT15D-1 and 4 series) If adjustment is required, turn ACCEL screw CW to increase and CCW to decrease turn changes ACCEL time by 0.4 seconds Engine should be stopped when adjustment is made

1.3 Ground Idle 1 2a 2b 2c NOTE: Start engine and set idle speed Ensure engine speed is 49% 1% N2 for Citation II, SII, Diamond I and IA (JT15D-1 and 4 series) Ensure engine speed is 46% 1% N2 for Citation I (JT15D-1 and 4 series) Ensure engine speed is 46% N2 (JT15D-5 series) If adjustment is required, turn min governing screw CW to increase CWW to decrease

1.4

Flight Idle (JT15D-5 series) 1 2 3 NOTE: Start engine and set to ground idle (46% N2) Switch flight idle "ON" Ensure N2 is 52% If adjustment is required, turn flight idle solenoid CW to increase and CCW to decrease.

1.5 Minimum fuel flow adjustment

1.5.1 Above 2000 ft 1 Disconnect PY plug from FCU (blue plug) 2 Start engine, stabilise for 3 minutes 3 Record actual N2 speed and pressure altitude 4 Compare with chart in maintenance manual to ensure N2 is within the limits 1.5.2 Below 2000 ft If adjustment if performed below 2000 ft, vacuum pump must be used to ensure metering valve is against minimum flow stop. NOTE: No bleed or power extraction during test If adjustment is required, turn min flow screw CW to increase minimum flow speed and CCW to decrease

FLOW DIVIDER CROSS MANIFOLD LEAK TEST

Purpose The cross manifold leak test allows pinpointing which of the three components (flow divider, fuel nozzles, or automatic shut-off valve) is defective.

2.2 Procedure 1 2 3 4 5 6 Remove the secondary fuel line from flow divider outlet. Cap off secondary outlet from flow divider. Start engine and run at idle. Use a clean container and collect fuel that comes out from secondary inlet tube. If less than 60 CC per minute are collected, replace flow divider. If more than 60 CC per minute are collected, replace O-ring on shut-off valve and perform cross manifold leak test on fuel nozzles.

NOTE:

60 CC equals approximately 2 ounces ( /4 cup)

FCU TO FDV RIGGING / IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

Initial rigging (engine stopped) 1 2 Disconnect FCU/FDV interconnecting rod and airframe power lever cable from FCU arm. Move FCU arm CCW until "pick up point" is found (spring tension is felt). Mark the position of the "pick up point" on the FCU quadrant (always near the 20 mark on quadrant). With FDV in the idle detent position and FCU arm at the pickup point, adjust interconnecting rod length to align bolt holes. With the FDV in full shutoff position, adjust the FCU minimum stop to provide a gap of .001" to .003". This ensures a positive shutoff position at the FDV. Position FDV in the idle detent position. Move cockpit power lever from cut-off to the idle detent position. Adjust to match and connect power lever cable to FCU arm (ref to airframe maintenance manual). Verify full power lever travel, shutoff stop at FDV, maximum stop at FCU, FDV detent friction adjustment and if necessary lubricate control rod end bearings. Start engine and run it at idle speed. Adjust idle adjustment screw to give recommended engine idle speed. Shutdown engine.
