These are the hazards around an engine in operation:
Engine noise can cause temporary and permanent loss of
- Inlet suction your ability to hear. You must wear ear protection when
- Exhaust heat near an engine in operation.
- Exhaust velocity
- Engine noise. Engine Entry/Exit Corridor

Inlet Suction
Engine inlet suction can pull people and large objects
into the engine. At idle power, the inlet hazard area
is a 13 ft (4.0 m) radius around the inlet.
WARNING: IF THE WIND IS OVER 25 KNOTS, INCREASE THE
INLET HAZARD AREA BY 20%.
Exhaust Heat
Engine entry corridors are between the inlet hazard
areas and the exhaust hazard areas. You should go near
an engine in operation only when:
- The engine is at idle
- You can speak with people in the flight
compartment.
For additional safety, wear a safety harness when the
engine is in operation.

The engine exhaust is very hot for a long distance Training Information Point

737 GENERAL - DOORS INTRODUCTION
Purpose The miscellaneous access doors are near the systems
they serve.
The doors are movable units that give access to the
airplane compartments. Training Information Point

General Description
These are the types of doors on the airplane:
- Forward and aft entry doors
- Forward and aft galley service doors
- Emergency exit hatches (and pilots' sliding
windows)
- Cargo doors
- Interior doors (crew door and lavatory doors)
- Miscellaneous access doors.
You can open and close entry, galley service, and cargo
doors in winds up to 40 knots without structural
damage. You can let these doors stay latched open in
winds up to 65 knots without structural damage.
If a door is left open for a long time, a protective
cover should be put over the door frame. This prevents
bad weather damage to the airplane.

Location

The entry doors are on the left side of the airplane.

The galley service doors are on the right side of the

airplane.

The emergency exit hatches are above the wings on both

sides of the airplane. The pilots' sliding windows are
00-00-00-520 Rev 0 03/18/1997

in the flight compartment.

The crew door and lavatory doors are inside the

airplane.

The cargo doors are on the right side of the airplane.

737 GENERAL - ENTRY DOOR EXTERIOR OPERATION
General
You open and close an entry door manually with the
control handle. While open, a hinge lock mechanism
holds the door in the open position.
The cabin crew puts the door slide warning pennant
across the door window if the slide is armed.
Open the Door - Exterior Operation
An escape slide is on the inside, lower part of the
entry door. If the slide girt bar is in the armed
position, the slide will deploy automatically as the
door opens. Look to see if there is a door slide
warning pennant (orange) in the door window. The
pennant is across the window when the slide is armed.
Make sure that the escape slide is not armed before you
open the door.
The door swings out of the door frame when it opens.
Make sure that the area outside of the door is clear.
You must pull the exterior door control handle from the
recess position to engage the door drive mechanisms.
Turn the handle 180 degrees in the clockwise direction.
00-00-00-521 Rev 1 03/21/1997
The door moves to the cocked open position.
At this point, any more effort on the door control
handle will not produce more door motion. The door
control handle has gone through its full motion.
Release the control handle and allow it to return to
its recess by spring force.
EFFECTIVITY
YA755
- 29 -
To complete the door opening operation, hold the aft
edge of the door and pull it open.
As the door opens, winds may push it. This can push the
operator off balance. Keep a strong, secure stance to
prevent this.
As you pull the door open, the door turns. This moves
the door parallel to the airplane fuselage when the
door is fully open.
Close the Door
Before you close the door, examine the escape slide.
The escape slide girt strap and bar must be properly
stowed. An incorrectly folded strap or improperly
stowed bar will interfere with the door threshold
clearance. This will prevent the door from sealing and
latching, and may damage components.
To close the door, first release the hinge lock. The
release mechanism is yellow. Operate the latch release
mechanism to unlock the hinge. This lets you to swing
the door back into the door frame.
Pull the door to the cocked position.
Pull the exterior control handle out of the recess, and
turn it slightly until it engages the door drive
mechanisms. Turn the door control handle
counterclockwise 180 degrees to complete the action.

 A 737-600/700/800/900 TRAINING MANUAL
737 GENERAL - ENTRY DOOR EXTERIOR OPERATION
When the control handle has gone through its full
motion, release it and allow it to return to the recess
by spring force.

Training Information Point

You can operate the forward entry door in winds up to

40 knots. You can let the door stay latched open in
winds up to 65 knots.

The force on the control handle to open and close the

door is not large. If a large force is required, there
is a fault with the door or the procedure.

If the door does not close and latch easily, there may
be a clearance problem. Make sure the door-to-frame
area is clear. An incorrectly stowed escape slide girt
strap may be caught between the door and the frame.

If the airplane is pressurized, a properly rigged door

will not unlatch. This is because the door gates must
open against cabin pressure during door unlatch.
Pressure on the door gates prevents this.

General

You use an interior control handle to open and close an

entry door. The hinge lock mechanism holds the door in
the open position. You release this mechanism to close
the door.

Interior Operation

The escape slide is on the inside lower part of the

door. If the slide girt bar is in the armed position,
the slide will deploy automatically as the door opens.
Make sure the slide girt bar is not armed and then
remove the door slide warning pennant (orange) in the
door window.

To open the door from the interior, unlatch the door

with the control handle and turn the handle in the OPEN
direction. This puts the door in the cocked position.
Push the door through the door frame until it is fully
open. Use the assist handles for this operation.

A hinge lock mechanism in the upper hinge keeps the

door in the fully open position.

To close the door, first release the hinge lock. The

00-00-00-522 Rev 1 03/21/1997

release mechanism is yellow. Operate the latch release

mechanism to unlock the hinge. This lets you swing the

737 GENERAL - APU OPERATION
General
When you do maintenance, you start the APU to supply
electrical power and bleed air.
The APU switch lets you control the APU. The APU
electronic control unit (ECU) controls the system
operation.
The APU indicator panel shows system status.
Start
The battery switch must be ON before you can start and
operate the APU.
If AC power is available, turn the aft number 1 fuel
boost pump on. This gives pressurized fuel to the APU.
Pressurized fuel makes the APU start better.
The ECU controls the APU start sequence.
When you move the APU switch to START and release it,
the switch moves back to the ON position. The ECU goes
through the start sequence. The time for the start
sequence is about 60 seconds.
00-00-00-496 Rev 2 11/14/1997
The low oil pressure light comes on and stays on for
approximately 30 seconds. The APU exhaust gas
temperature (EGT) increases.
See the APU chapter for more information on the
specific operating range of the APU. (AMM PART I 49)
EFFECTIVITY
YA755
- 83 -
The APU GEN OFF BUS light comes on when the APU is
ready to supply electrical power.
The maintenance, fault, and overspeed lights normally
are off. If these lights come on, refer the problem to
a qualified APU technician.
Shutdown
The ECU also controls the APU shutdown. Normally, to
shutdown the APU, you put the APU switch to OFF. This
starts a cool down cycle. The cool down cycle time is
approximately 60 seconds. When the cool down cycle is
complete, the APU shuts down.
The ECU can also automatically shutdown the APU. If the
ECU finds a shutdown condition, the ECU does a
protective shutdown. A protective shutdown causes one
of these indications on the APU indicator panel to come
on:
- Fault light
- Overspeed light
- Low oil pressure light.
Training Information Point
The BAT DISCHARGE light on the electrical meters,
battery, and galley power module comes on when the APU
start uses DC power. The BAT DISCHARGE light does not
come on when the APU uses AC power to start.
00-00-00
 A 737-600/700/800/900 TRAINING MANUAL
737 GENERAL - APU OPERATION
The APU fuel shutoff valve and air inlet door will
close for a normal or protective shutdown. Wait 40
seconds after the EGT goes below 300 C for the inlet
door and fuel shutoff valve to close before you move
the battery switch to the OFF position.

Do not use the battery switch or fire switches to begin

a normal APU shutdown. The 60-second cool down is
required to prevent coke in the turbine bearing and
fuel nozzles.

If the fuel shutoff valve does not close in the

required time, the APU FAULT light comes on and stays
on until you start the APU again or you put the battery
switch in the OFF position.

OCCUR IF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED
WHEN THE LOCKOUT PIN IS REMOVED. THIS CAN
CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.

Operation

The towing lever is spring-loaded to the off position.

Move the lever forward to the tow position. Insert a
pin in the pin hole in the lever to hold the lever in
the towing position. A placard on the protective cover
(not shown) shows the two positions of the towing
lever.

If you tow the airplane and turn the nose wheels more
than 78 degrees, you must disconnect the torsion links.
Support the lower torsion link from dragging on the
ground when it is disconnected.

A red stripe on the outside of each nose landing gear

door shows when the wheels are at 78 degrees. When the
tow bar aligns with the red stripe, the wheels are at
00-00-00-329 Rev 0 03/21/1997

737 GENERAL - ELECTRICAL POWER GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Purpose
The electrical power system makes and supplies AC and
DC power to the airplane. The system has automatic and
manual controls and protection. A standby AC and DC
system gives normal and emergency power.
AC Power
The electrical power system has four main AC power
sources and one standby power source. These are the
main AC power sources and their supply capacity:
- Left integrated drive generator (IDG 1) - 90 KVA
- Right integrated drive generator (IDG 2) - 90 KVA
- APU starter-generator - 90 KVA below 32,000
feet/9,753 meters, and goes down to 66 KVA at
41,000 feet/12,496 meters)
- External power - 90 KVA.
The IDGs and APU starter-generator supply a 3-phase,
115/200 volts (nominal) at 400 Hz. The AC power system
design prevents two sources to the same load at the
same time.
The static inverter supplies a single phase, 115v ac
00-00-00-241 Rev 2 03/20/1997
output to the AC standby bus.
DC Power
Three transformer rectifier units (TRUs) change 115v ac
to 28v dc. The airplane also has these DC power
sources:
EFFECTIVITY
YA755
- 123 -
- Main battery
- Main battery charger
- Auxiliary battery
- Auxiliary battery charger.
The batteries are the backup DC source if other sources
do not operate. The standby power control unit (SPCU)
controls the distribution of dc power.
Standby Power
With the loss of normal power, the standby power system
supplies a minimum of 60 minutes of AC and DC power to
systems necessary to maintain safe flight. The
batteries supply DC power. The static inverter uses
battery power to make AC power. The SPCU controls the
distribution of AC and DC standby power.
Protection
The electrical power system has automatic control to
protect the system from source failure or load failure.
These line replaceable units (LRUs) supply protection
and control logic:
- Left generator control unit (GCU 1)
- Right generator control unit (GCU 2)
- APU generator control unit (AGCU)
- Bus power control unit (BPCU)
- Standby power control unit (SPCU)
- Start converter unit (SCU).

Control

These modules on the P5 panel give manual control of

the electrical power system:

- Electrical meters, battery and galley power module

(P5-13)
- Generator drive and standby power module (P5-5)
- AC systems, generator and APU module (P5-4).

The switches on these modules send signals to the LRUs

that control portions of the system. The LRUs then
energize or de-energize relays or breakers to control
electrical power.

Breakers allow power to the buses. The breakers close

when you command the GCU to close it. The GCU closes
the breaker only when power is good and no other power

AC Transfer Buses Main Buses and Galley Buses

These AC sources supply power to the AC transfer buses:
- External power
- APU starter-generator
- Integrated drive generators (IDGs).
The main buses and the galley buses receive power from
their respective AC transfer bus. Load shed relays
remove the power to these buses when their loads exceed
operating limits. This protects the AC power source

from overload. The bus power control unit (BPCU)
controls the load shed function.
DC Buses
DC bus 1 usually receives power from TRU 1. However,
the bus can receive power from TRU 2 or TRU 3 through
the bus tie relay. This relay is usually energized.
DC bus 2 usually receive power from TRU 2. TRU 3
supplies power if TRU 2 fails. DC bus 2 may also
receive power from TRU 1 through the bus tie relay.
Standby Buses
The battery bus normally receives power from TRU 3. The
battery bus receives power from the battery if TRU 3
has no output.
The switched hot battery bus receives power from the
hot battery bus when the battery switch (P5 panel) is
in the ON position.
External Power
External power can supply power to these buses:
- AC transfer buses
- Ground service buses.

The AC standby bus usually receives power from AC External power supplies power to each AC transfer buses

IDG Power

The IDGs are the normal power sources of the AC

transfer buses. An IDG supplies power through a
generator control breaker (GCB).

Battery Charger

Each battery charger makes sure its battery stays at

maximum charge. Each battery charger also operates as a
TRU when not in the charge mode.

Remote Control Circuit Breaker (RCCB)

The standby power system uses a RCCB to control power

input to the static inverter. This RCCB is normally
closed. See the standby power system section for more
information.(AMM PART I 24-34)

The dual battery RCCB closes to let the auxiliary

battery and the auxiliary battery charger output be in
parallel with the output of the main battery and its
charger. This RCCB is normally open. See the DC
generation section for more information.(AMM PART I 24-

You use switches on the forward P5 overhead panel or
the forward flight attendant's panel to operate the
electrical system. Refer to the distribution general
description pageset in this section for more
information about the operation effect on distribution.

You put the BAT switch to the ON position to energize
these buses and components with battery power:
- Switched hot battery bus
- Battery bus
- Static inverter
- AC standby bus
- DC standby bus
- P5-13 alphanumeric display.
You use the GALLEY switch to control power to all

the IDG. The engine start lever must be in the idle
position for the disconnect function to operate.
The standby power switch gives you manual control of
the AC and DC standby power bus sources. In the auto
position, the AC standby bus receives power from AC
transfer bus 1 and the DC standby bus receives power
from DC bus 1 when these sources are available. If the
sources are not available, the AC standby bus receives
power from the static inverter and the DC bus receives
power from the battery.
These are the effects of the standby power switch in
the other two positions:
- De-energize the AC standby bus and the DC standby
bus (OFF position),
- Energize the AC standby bus with battery power
through the static inverter and energize the DC
standby bus with battery power (BAT position).
AC Systems, Generator And APU Module (P5-4)
You use the ground power switch to control external
power to the AC transfer buses. The blue GRD POWER
AVAILABLE light above the switch shows if the ground
source is connected and quality is good. Both AC
transfer buses receive power when you put the ground
power switch to the ON position. Any initial power
sources are removed before the transfer buses receive
external power.

from each other. The position also resets the BTB trip
circuits.

You use the GEN 1 and GEN 2 switches to supply IDG

power to an AC transfer bus. The AC transfer bus on
that side goes to IDG power when you temporarily put
the switch to the ON position. Any initial power
sources are removed.

You use the APU GEN switches to supply power to the AC

transfer buses. There are two switches because there
are two bus tie breakers (BTBs) that supply power to
the AC transfer buses. Both AC transfer buses will
receive APU power with operation of just one APU GEN
switch if both AC transfer buses do not have power
initially. If the AC transfer buses do have power
initially, then only the AC transfer bus on the same
side as the APU GEN switch you operate will energize

The blue APU GEN OFF BUS light comes on when the APU is
ready to supply electrical power.
