It is, however, important to understand that these warnings and cautions are not exhaustive.
Allison Gas Turbine could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the user of all conceivable
ways in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way.
Consequently, Allison Gas Turbine has not undertaken any such broad evaluation.
Proper methods of operation, service, and repair are important to the safe, reliable operation of
all equipment. The procedures recommended by Allison Gas Turbine and described in this
manual are effective methods for performing these operations. Some of these service
operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should
be used when and as recommended. ALLISON GAS TURBINE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS
THE PROCEDURES HEREIN SHOULD BE USED TO THE EXCLUSION OF OTHERS.

2–3. OPERATION
A. During starting, fuel and ignition are programmed by the engine control system. Refer to the
OEM manual for a description of how this is done. Overspeed, underspeed, and temperature
protection signals are provided to initiate an automatic shutdown. Other safety circuits,
connected to safety devices, such as low oil pressure or high vibration sensors, can also initiate
an automatic shutdown to protect the GG (Ref. Tables 2–1 and 2–2).
B. Many safety circuits remain active during normal operation.
Table 2–3
Troubleshooting
Trouble Indication Probable Cause
No lightoff during If fuel manifold pressure/flow is indicated, suspect an ignition fault:
start attempt (no rise (1) Exciter not energized or low input voltage
in CT with speed (2) Exciter output weak
above 2200 rpm) (3) Igniter plug spark weak
(4) Igniter lead open or shorted to ground
Ambient inlet air temperature is too low for the fuel being used.
Starter too strong and accelerates engine too rapidly through the
lightoff speed range.
NOTE: This report assumes that prestart checks and startup and adjustment runs have been done.
If a separate record is not required, then this information should be put here in this report.

A. The gas generator (GG) incorporates a low–pressure, independent, dry sump oil system (Ref.
Figure 7–1). Primary components of the oil system include:
– main pressure and scavenge oil pump with pressure regulating valve
– oil filter assembly with filter bypass valve
– check valve
– external scavenge oil pump
– cyclonic breather
– scavenge pressure relief valve
– magnetic chip detector (indicating type)
– magnetic drain plug
B. The main pressure and scavenge oil pump is located on the center of the front face of the
accessory drive unit cover. Filtered oil is supplied to the main pressure oil pump inlet from the
remote oil tank and filter equipment. Oil is pumped through a metal element type oil filter
assembly and check valve, through internal drilled and cored passages, and through external
lines to those parts of the GG that require lubrication. A pressure regulating valve, located in
the main oil pump, regulates the oil pressure at 50 – 60 psig (345 – 414 kPag). A check valve
is provided for installation when the oil supply tank is located above the main oil pump. The
check valve prevents oil from leaking back into the GG when the GG is not operating.
NOTE: For installation, when the oil supply tank is located below the main oil pump, extreme
care must be taken that the main oil pump does not lose it’s prime during downtime.
Oil must not be supplied to the GG at a pressure more than 5 psig (34.5 kPag) when
it is not operating.
C. Scavenged oil is returned from the accessory drive sump to the oil tank by the scavenge oil
pump section of the main pressure and scavenge oil pump assembly.
(1) Oil is returned from the boost compressor front module by gravity to a port located on the
bottom of the accessory drive unit.
(2) Oil is returned from the compressor diffuser and turbine sumps by the external scavenge
oil pump. Scavenged oil is carried by internal drilled passages and external lines to a
common connection at the main oil pump. Scavenge oil pressure above 45 psig (310.5
kPag) is relieved by the scavenge relief valve, located on back to the accessory drive unit.
Care must be used to ensure no excess back pressure develops during engine operation.
D. An indicating–type magnetic chip detector is installed in the scavenge section of the main oil
pump. The magnetic chip detector gives a warning signal/alarm to the operator.
E. The cyclonic breather, located on top of the starter drive unit, is a centrifugal air–oil separator.
Oil–saturated air from the diffuser enters the breather and is rotated by the spiral passageway
in the breather. Movement of the air through this passageway imparts a centrifugal force on the
air that separates the oil from the air. The air is vented overboard and the oil flows through
passages to the oil sump in the accessory drive unit.
F. A magnetic drain plug is located on the bottom of the accessory drive housing to provide
drainage and inspection for metal contamination.
G. The same oil that lubricates the GG is used as servo oil for compressor bleed valves operation
(Ref. Figure 7–2).
A. The GG and power turbine (PT) are sometimes supplied by different oil systems. Other times
they are supplied by a common oil system. For the GG, oil must conform to one of the
following specifications:
– MIL–L–23699 Synthetic
– Allison Specification EMS–53 Synthetic
CAUTION: MINERAL OIL MUST NOT BE USED. DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE WILL OCCUR.
B. Oils that are fully qualified for use in the engine are listed in Table 7–1.
CAUTION: LUBE OILS THAT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE OIL SPECIFICATIONS
MAY NOT NECESSARILY PERFORM SATISFACTORILY IN THE ENGINE. THEY
MAY CAUSE SEVERE COKING IN THE ENGINE AND RESULT IN BEARING
FAILURE. TO BE FULLY QUALIFIED, THE OIL MUST MEET REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SPECIFICATION AND HAVE COMPLETED A SATISFACTORY SERVICE
EVALUATION IN THE ENGINE. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
NOTE: Oils within any one group number may be mixed. Oil from different vendors with
common group numbers are re–brands of the same oil and can therefore be mixed.
Oils from different group numbers should not be mixed.
D. Oil supplied to the GG must be pre–filtered through a full flow filter capable of removing 100
percent of particles 3 micron or larger.
E. The oil shall be cooled to a maximum oil temperature of 160°F (71°C) at the inlet to the GG and
150°F (66°C) to the PT. For common (shared) GG and PT oil systems, the maximum
temperature may be lower than 160°F (71°C) as required by the OEM for the PT. Lower
temperatures are desired. Minimum oil inlet temperature is –40°F (–40°C) for a GG that uses
synthetic oil. Refer to the OEM manual for the PT operating temperature and pressure.
F. The minimum oil supply to the GG main oil pump inlet is 4.5 gpm (17.1 Lpm) at a pressure of 0
– 5 psig (0 – 34.5 kPag). The control oil pump supply is 6.0 gpm (22.7 Lpm) at a pressure of 5
– 30 psig (34.5 – 207 kPag).
CAUTION: AIR IN THE OIL CAN RESULT IN INADEQUATE LUBRICATION AND SHORTENED
ENGINE LIFE DUE TO ABNORMAL BEARING WEAR.
G. Oil provided by the GG main oil pump satisfies GG bearing, gear, shaft and other GG
lubrication requirements. A separate, hydraulic (control) oil pump provides the force to actuate
the compressor bleed air valves. The lube oil delivered to the GG must be free of entrained air.
Lube oil lines should be bled prior to the initial engine start at the time of installation.

10–1. GENERAL
A. The compressor section, also called the cold section, is a major structural member of the gas
generator (GG).
B. The compressor section consists of the boost compressor assembly (3, Figure 10–1) and the
main compressor unit (45).
10–2. BOOST COMPRESSOR
A. Description
The boost compressor assembly (3, Figure 10–1) supplies pressurized air to the main
compressor unit. Primary components of the boost compressor assembly include:
– boost compressor front support assembly
– boost compressor rotor assembly
– boost compressor vane assembly
– compressor bleed duct assembly
– boost compressor vane assembly
– compressor intermediate support assembly
– water wash nozzle
B. Boost Compressor Front Support Assembly
(1) The boost compressor front support assembly is a one–piece aluminum alloy casting. It
consists of an outer shell and an inner shell with six radial struts that are equally spaced
between the two shells.
(2) The outer shell has mounting pads and mounting bosses. The mounting pads are used to
attach external components. The mounting bosses are used for placement on an engine
maintenance stand.
(3) The radial struts contain air passages and oil passages. These passages transfer air and
oil from components that are installed on the outer shell to components that are installed in
the inner shell. The upper left strut contains the compressor inlet air pressure sensor.
(4) The inner shell provides a mount for the (front) roller bearing. The front roller bearing
supports the front end of the boost compressor rotor assembly.
C. Boost Compressor Rotor Assembly
(1) The boost compressor rotor assembly is a single–stage air compressor. It consists of a
boost compressor wheel assembly, boost compressor front shaft, and boost compressor
rear shaft assembly. A boost compressor shaft oil transfer tube supplies oil to the front
and rear splines of the boost compressor rotor assembly. It receives this oil from the
turbine rear scavenge sump.
(2) The boost compressor rotor assembly is installed in the compressor bleed duct assembly.
It is located between the boost compressor front support assembly and the compressor
intermediate support assembly. The boost compressor rotor assembly is supported at the
front by a roller bearing. It is supported at the rear by a ball bearing that is housed in the
compressor intermediate support assembly.
D. Boost Compressor Vane Assembly
(1) The boost compressor vane assembly shrouds the blades of the boost compressor rotor.
(2) The boost compressor blades provide a high velocity flow of air. The boost compressor
vanes slow the flow of air and convert the high velocity to static pressure.
(b) Check for splitline air leakage while the engine is running.
NOTE: Air leaks reduce engine performance and can often be reduced or
eliminated by torquing the splitline bolts.
(c) Refer to compressor internal inspection (Ref. this Section) for inspection of rotor
blades and stator vanes.
C. No. 2 Speed Pickup
NOTE: The No. 1 Speed Pickup is installed in the starter drive unit and covered in Section 9.
(1) Removal
(a) Remove the electrical connector at the No. 2 speed pickup (Ref. Figure 10–2).
(b) Loosen the locknut and remove the speed pickup.
(2) Installation.
(a) Turn the compressor rotor to align a 5th–stage blade directly below the No. 2 speed
pickup hole in the 5th–stage bleed adapter.
(b) Apply a light coating of Permatex sealant No.1372 to the No. 2 speed pickup threads
(that thread into the 5th–stage bleed adapter).
(c) Carefully, using finger pressure only, thread the No. 2 speed pickup into the bleed
adapter until it touches the 5th–stage blade (positioned in preceding step), then back
it out 180 degrees (170 to 190 degrees).
(d) Hold the No. 2 speed pickup, to keep it from turning, and tighten the locknut 100 –
150 lb in. (11 – 17 Nm). Measure and record the resistance of the pickup winding for
troubleshooting comparison in the future.

and a clamp installed to hold the 2nd–stage vane and rotor to the work bench.
P. The 2nd–stage vane and turbine rotor is now free for cleaning, inspection, and minor repair.
Damage to this unit will require replacement of a complete turbine unit assembly.
Q. Finish disassembly of the unit (after it is removed and put on a work bench).
(1) Remove screws (23, Figure 13–6), gang channel nuts (12 and 13), and primary labyrinth
seal stator (22).
NOTE: The position of the gang channel nuts should be marked to aid assembly.
(2) Remove bolts (14, Figure 13–7), gang channel nuts (15 and 16), and guide vane and seal
support (13).
(3) Remove 1st–stage vane segments (19), 1st–stage saddles (20), and 1st–stage vane air
seal ring (21) from turbine inlet casing (1).
(4) Remove the 1st–stage vane air seal ring from the 1st–stage vane segments.
(5) Remove the 1st–stage vane segments from guide vane and seal support (13).

AMS 5687 Lockwire, corrosion–and–heat resistant
AMS 5689 Lockwire, corrosion–resistant steel
MIL–L–23699 Engine Oil
VV–P–236 Compound, Amojell Petrolatum
CAUTION: INSTALL THE COTTER PIN FULLY SO THE COTTER PIN EYE IS AGAINST THE
BOLT OR STUD. THE PRONGS OF THE COTTER PIN MUST BE BENT TIGHTLY
SO THE COTTER PIN WILL NOT MOVE AXIALLY. DO NOT NICK, KINK, OR
DAMAGE THE COTTER PIN. A DECREASE IN THE COTTER PIN STRENGTH
CAN OCCUR.
CAUTION: USE THE CORRECT TOOL TO INSTALL THE COTTER PIN. AN INCORRECT
TOOL CAN DAMAGE THE COTTER PIN.
CAUTION: INSTALL A NEW COTTER PIN ONLY. DO NOT USE THE COTTER PIN AGAIN.
A. Install the cotter pin (Ref. Figure 15–1. and Figure 15–2.) so the plane of the cotter pin eye is
parallel to the axis of the bolt or the stud.
B. If necessary, hit the cotter pin lightly to push the cotter pin into the nut castellation.
C. Make sure you install the cotter pin fully. The eye of the cotter pin must be against the bolt or
stud.
D. Use the correct tool to bend the long prong of the cotter pin. Bend the long prong so it is flat on
the top of the bolt or stud.
A. If the ambient temperature is less than 1200°F (649°C), use corrosion–resistant steel lockwire
(AMS–5689).
C. Check the items to be lockwired. Make sure they are correctly torqued.
