(2) Connect wand or wash ring to supply from wash rig. Alternatively connect via suitable hose
to drinking quality water supply for ambient temperatures above +4°C (+39°F).
(3) Fill wash tank with prepared rinse solution (Ref. Table
706).
(4) Pressurize tank at 30 to 50 psi (207 to 345 KPa) with air or nitrogen supply.
NOTE: 1. If you use the drinking quality water and pressure is less than 30 psig (207
KPag), connect through a centrifugal pump.
NOTE: 2. When you use drinking quality water, to prevent the precipitation of deposits
through the use of hard water, let the engine become cool to less than 65 °C
(149 °F). You must let a minimum cooling period of 40 minutes since the engine
was last operated.
NOTE: 3. You can do a compressor desalination wash on a hot engine (above 65 °C (149
°F)), such as immediately after shutdown. Use demineralized/distilled water only
on a hot engine.
(15)Connect the flow divider/dump valve hose at each power section (Ref. Aircraft Maintenance
Manual).
(16)After starter cooling period, start engine (Ref. 71-00-00).
(17)Run the engine at flight idle to fully dry the engine.
NOTE: 1. This step is not necessary if the engine is run in the next 15 minutes.
NOTE: 2. Run the engine at idle for a minimum of five minutes with the MOT above 50°C
(122 °F).

(2) Fill wash tanks with appropriate cleaning and rinse solutions (Ref. Subpara. B.). Connect
engine wand or wash ring to wash rig.

(7) Motor engine and when Ng reaches 5%, inject cleaning solution into engine.
(8) Stop motoring after 30
seconds.
(9) Close tank valve as soon as Ng falls to
5%.
(10)Allow cleaning solution to soak for 15 to 30 minutes.
(11)Motor engine and when Ng reaches 5%, inject rinse solution into engine.
(12)Stop motoring after 30 seconds.
(13)Observe starter cooling period.
(14)Repeat steps (11) and (12) .
(15)Remove wash wand or wash ring (if applicable) from engine.
(16)Perform two consecutive dry motoring runs. Observe starter limitations (Ref. Starter
Manufacturer's Manual).
(17)Install P3 air filter elements and P3 lines as applicable (Ref. 73-10-07).
(a) For Pre-SB5309 engines; install P3 air filter element to filter located at gas generator.
(b) For Pre-SB5174, Post-SB5174 and Pre-SB5423 engines; reconnect P3 line to elbow and
torque coupling nut 135 to 150 lb.in. and lockwire.
(c) For Post-SB5423 engines; install cap on tee fitting and torque 100 to 110 lb.in. and
lockwire.
(18)Connect the flow divider/dump valve hose at each power section (Ref. Aircraft Maintenance
Manual).
(19)After starter cooling period, start engine (Ref. 71-00-00, POWER PLANT -
ADJUSTMENT/TEST).
(20)Run the engine at flight idle to fully dry the engine.
NOTE: 1. This step is not necessary if the engine is run in the next 15 minutes.
NOTE: 2. Run the engine at idle for a minimum of five minutes with the MOT above 50°C
(122 °F).
E. Compressor Turbine Wash
NOTE: 1. The proven method to decrease the possibility of sulfidation is the turbine
desalination wash with plain water. This procedure does not replace the compressor
wash and is a method to wash the compressor turbine blades. The frequency is
based on the choice of the customer and previous sulfidation experience.
NOTE: 2. A minimum cool-down period of 40 minutes should be observed.
(1) Depending on ambient temperatures, fill wash tank with appropriate rinse solution (Ref.
Table 706).
(2) Connect compressed air supply regulated 30 to 50 psig (207 to 345 kPa) to wash
tank.
(3) Disconnect flow divider/dump valve hose at each power section prior to injecting water and
water mixture. Place detached end of flow divider/dump valve hose into a suitable container
for collection of water mixture.
NOTE: Alternative cleaning solutions Zok 27 (PWC11-003D) and Ardox Turboclean 2 (PWC11-
003B) may also be used. Refer to Para. 7. B.(2) (b) for mixing methods.
(1) Mixture ratios to be as follows:
(a) At ambient temperatures of 2°C (35.5°F) and above, mix by volume: 1 part Turco 5884
(PWC11-001G) to 4 parts demineralized water.
(b) At ambient temperatures below 2°C (35.5°F), mix a 50% solution of methanol and
demineralized water, then mix 4 parts of water/methanol (by volume) to 1 part Turco
5884 (PWC11-001G).

(b) Disconnect and remove wash rig fluid delivery hose from flow divider/dump valve elbow
or nipple.
(c) Remove blanking cap assembly at fuel inlet to flow divider/dump valve.
(d) Reconnect fuel delivery line to flow divider/dump valve fitting (Ref. 73-10-05).
(e) Perform two consecutive dry motoring runs, if the ambient temperature is below 2°C
(35.5°F) and the water/methanol solution has been utilized. Observe starter limitations
(Ref. Starter Maintenance Manual).
(f) Perform an engine ground run (Ref. applicable Aircraft Manual) and check for leaks.
(g) Clean wash rig, stow fluid delivery hoses and bleed air pressure from reservoirs.
