TM 9-2350-256-34-1b. Starting System. The generator, which is coupledto the engine by a drive chain, also serves the dual roleas a starter. When the preheat switch is held in theclosed (ON) position, and the generator switch is open(OFF), one side of the preheat relay energizing coil onthe APU engine is grounded through the preheatswitch and a set of APU generator switching relay con-tacts. This causes the preheat relay contacts to closesince the opposite side of the energizing coil is con-nected directly to the vehicle bus voltage, Power isthen supplied through the closed preheat relay con-tacts to the preheater, the APU generator/starterfield winding, and to one side of the starter switch cir-cuit. When the starter switch is closed, it completesthe APU starter relay coil circuit, and bus power issupplied to the APU generator/starter armature cir-cuit through these relay contacts, thus motorzing thegenerator/starter to start the engine. Therefore, boththe preheat and starter switches must be closed (ON),and the generator switch must be open (OFF), in orderto start the API-J. Since the preheat relay energizingcoil ground circuit is passed through the set of APUswitching relay contacts (as mentioned above), the pre-heat relay cannot activate if the generator switch ison. The reason for this circuit arrangement is to pre-vent vehicle bus voltage from being applied to the volt-age regulator field through the preheat relay contacts,thus damaging the regulator when the generatorswitch is on (field circuit from generator to regulatorclosed) and the preheat switch is activated (bus voltageapplies to generator field winding).c. Lubrication. A gear-type pump draws oil from thecrankcase and delivers it through a replaceable oilfilter to the engine. Normal oil pressure should be 25psi or higher under normal operating conditions. Anoil pressure switch will activate a low oil pressurewarning light on the auxiliary power unit control boxif the oil pressure drops below 14 ± 2 psi. A crankcasedrain valve is provided with a handle so that the lubri-cating oil can be drained without removing the unitfrom the vehicle.d. Governor. A constant speed governor is set tomaintain engine speed at 2000 ± 100 rpm. The gov-ernor uses a ball and cup mechanism on the camshaftgear as the sensing device. A yoke resting on the cupLegend for figure 4-2:ItemName1Base angle2Base angle3Support angle4Support angle5Support angle6Support angle7Gusset8Pad9Pad10Pad11Support angleQty22221342111connects to an arm and spring mechanism controllingthe trottle lever. Any change in engine speed is trans-mitted from the cup to the yoke and to the throttle. Anadjusting screw is provided on the front of the unit toadjust the speed by changing the spring tension.e. Fuel system. The fuel system consists basically ofa primary and secondary fuel filter, fuel transferpump, fuel injection pump and two fuel injection noz-zles. The transfer pump operates off the camshaft,drawing fuel from the supply tank and delivering itthrough the two filters to the injection pump. The in-jection pump meters and delivers the fuel at high pres-sure to the nozzles.f. Electrical System.The generator/starter ismounted to the chain case and engine housing anddriven by the engine through a roller chain and drivesprocket. The output is controlled automatically by avoltage regulator and current limiting device. A de-tailed description of the auxiliary generating system iscontained in paragraph 1-3g(2).g. Hydraulic System. The pump is mounted to thechain case and driven by the engine. It supplies thepressure for the auxiliary hydraulic system. This sys-tem powers the refuel pump and impact wrench andalso supplies power for emergency operation of theboom, spade and winches. A detailed description of theauxiliary hydraulic system is contained in TM9-2350-256-34-2.4-2. Repaira. General.(1) Current limiter calibration. Whenever theauxiliary generator, voltage regulator, APU assembly,or relay box, is replaced or the auxiliary engine is re-placed or repaired, the rheostat in the switching relaybox must be adjusted to limit the auxiliary generatoroutput current to approximately 150 amperes with theAPU in the vehicle. TM 9-2350-256-20 provides in-structions for calibrating the current limiter.I(2) Test fixture. The auxiliary engine must beplaced on a stand to operate it outside the vehicle(groundhopping). Refer to figure 4-2 for informationon constructing a test fixture to support the APU dur-ing groundhopping tests.Size (inches)2.00 x 2.00 x o.25 x 27.44lg2.00 x 2.00 x 0.25 x 24.75 lg2,00 x 2.00 x 0.25 x 23.06 lg2.00 x 2.00 x 0.25 x 28.25 lg2.00 x 2.00 x 0.25 x 19.38 lg2.00 x 2.00 x 0.25 x 20.10 lg0.25 x 1.75 x l.75 lg0.75 x 3.00 x 2.88 lg0.75 x 2.25 x 2.00 lg0.75 x 2.25 x 3.00 lg2.00 x 2.00 x 0.25 x 19.38 lgMaterialsteelsteelsteelsteelsteelsteelhr steelhr steelhr steelhr steelsteel4-6Change 3
