APU Start Procedure
- Confirm APU bleed is closed
- Turn #2 fuel pump ON, or
Select XFEED OPEN and turn on #1 fuel pump - If starting with batteries, ensure Shed Bus Auto

- Ensure APU temperature indication appears on the EICAS
- Rotate to START momentarily– Release
- Monitor EGT and RPM on EICAS
Receiving Check
If the APU Generator is greater than 500 amp, why do we turn off #1 battery?
This procedure will prevent the electrical system’s overcurrent protection from activating, which may cause the system to revert to essential power mode
Receiving checklist
If the load on the APU generator exceeds 500 amps…
- Turn the #1 BATT knob to OFF
- After:
a. 3 minutes, or
b. Load decreases to under 400 amps,
whichever occurs later, then - Turn the #1 BATT knob back to AUTO
- Place the shed bus to OVRD
