leakage. (Refer to Gearbox
Cover--to--Housing Assembly,

Check the engine oil quantity within 15 minutes of engine shutdown to avoid a false indication
of excessive oil consumption. If the 15 minutes has been exceeded, motor the engine for 30
seconds with the starter before checking tank quantity. Motoring normally scavenges oil from
the gearbox back to the aircraft oil tank. Check the airframe flight manual; some installations
may require engine to be operated for at least a minute at ground idle to assure proper
scavenging of the engine gearbox.

Remedy
To help alleviate turbine rub or carbon conditions which prevent the main rotor (N2) from turning
by 25% N1 speed, walk the main rotor backwards after a start attempt and/or while the engine
is cooling down. If chatter is encountered, stop the walkthrough. Repeat the procedure at the
next convenient shutdown.

Ensure that the oil being used

is MILL7808F or
MILL7808G or

Repeat start procedure. If not
rotating after second attempt,
walk the main rotor backwards
