WARNING

Avoid contact with hot manifolds, pulleys, and other moving parts. Wear proper ear

protection when running engine. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel.

8.

Start engine and operate at 2800 rpm, FULL LOAD. Slowly open tube connector (Figure 13, Item 41) and

read air box pressure on u-tube manometer scale.

NOTE

A u-tube manometer measurement is the sum of the displacements from zero of

the two columns of mercury. This value is expressed as inches of mercury.

For model 5063-5299, air box pressure must be at least 6.1 inches of mercury at

2800 rpm, FULL LOAD with zero exhaust back pressure.

For all except model 5063-5299, air box pressure must be at least 39.0 inches of

mercury at 2800 rpm, FULL LOAD with zero exhaust back pressure.
