APU leak check

The procedure calls for an open cowling with a fire extinguisher standby at the flatbed. Authorized personnel must be in the cockpit to pull the respective ignition circuit breaker and motorize the APU, if possible with an external power hook-up, to maximum rotation while somebody monitors external fuel and oil leakage without exceeding starter limitations.
