PART III-HANDLING

A.L.1       second cartridge should be fired with the ignition
Page 55     switch and the H.P. cock off. This procedure entails
          a 30-second delay whilst the time switch runs out.
          A third attempt may be made after an interval of
          at least 30 seconds as controlled by the time switch.

  (iii)  If, due to a circuit fault, the starter button does not
         hold in, irrespective of whether a cartridge is fired
         or not, a period of at least 30 seconds must elapse
         before the button is again pressed.

   (iv)  If the pressure relief valve sticks open, as indicated by
         intermittent clouds of black or yellow smoke from
         the starter exhaust without r.p.m. indication, wait
         at least until the time switch runs out (30 seconds)
         and then fire a second cartridge.

    (v)  The run of the time switch must not be shortened
         by the use of the master switch, otherwise over-
         speeding of the starter may occur in some circum-
         stances. A period of at least 10 minutes must
AL4/58    elapse between firing the third successive a cartridge
        and reloading the breech.
