B. Duty Cycle.

(3) After two consecutive 5-minute duty cycles, cool starter for 10 minutes prior to each subsequent 5-minute duty cycle.


The AMM words are not intended for 'normal' day to day engine starts - they're intended to apply to specific AMM tasks such as wet/dry motoring, leak checks, actuator tests, etc.
