 *** "C" - Clockwise, "CC" - Count er-clockwise facing engine pad. 
 
The customer power extraction limits vs engine speed are presented in the G.E. CF700 Installation Manual No. SEI-124A.  
Location and details of the accessory drive pads are presented on the Installation Drawing, Sheet I. 
 
NOTE 5. Engine ratings are based on calibrate d stand performance under the following conditions: 
 
     Operation at rated engine speeds. 
     Static sea level standard conditions of 59°F and 29.92 in. Hg. 
     General Electric bellmouth and bullet nose on air inlet. 
     No external air bleed or accessory drive power for aircraft accessories. 
     Exhaust configuration as defined by G.E.  drawing 5005T30 (CF700-2C) and 6006T89 (CF700-2D) and 5017T20 
(CF700-2D-2). 
     No anti-icing airflow. 
     Turbine exhaust gas temperature limits not exceeded. 
 
     At sea level static conditions below 59°F rated thrust will increase to maximum physical thrust limits as indicated. 
 
 CF700-2C  CF700-2D  CF700-2D-2  
Takeoff 4360 lb. @ 45°F 4453 lb. @ 48°F (Does not apply) 
Maximum Continuous 4250 lb. @ 42°F 4418 lb. @ 40°F 4418 lb. @ 40°F 
 
     These limits may be authorized for use at any am bient temperature for engines whose individual characteristics 
permit higher than rated thrust to be developed without exceeding approved temperature or RPM limits. 
 
     The CF700-2C, -2D and -2D-2 models develop 4125, 4250, and 4315 lb. thrust, respectively, at 86°F sea level static 
conditions.  Refer to G.E. Performance Bulletin No. SEI-206 (CF700-2C), SEI-237 (CF700-2D) and SEI-284 
(CF700-2D-2) for detailed performance data. 
 
NOTE 6. Maximum permissible bleed air ex traction for aircraft purposes is 6% of compressor inlet airflow; refer to the 
currently approved G.E. CF700 Installation Manual SEI-124A for additional data. 
 
NOTE 7. Commercial kerosene, JP-4 and JP-5 type fuels are accepta ble, but whenever a change is made or a mixture is used, 
a re-adjustment of the fuel control specific gravity setting must be made for optimum acceleration performance.  The 
use of aviation gasoline as an emergency fuel is permitted provided that its use is limited to no more than 25 hours 
during any one overhaul period.  Refer to G.E. Maintenance Manual SEI-187 for specific gravity adjustment. 
 
NOTE 8. Optional additive which may be used in approved fuels are: 
 
   1) Philips PFA-55MB or anti-icing additives to speci fication MIL-I-27686E at a concentration not in excess of 
0.15% by volume. 
   2) Shell ASA-3 anti-static additive at a concentra tion that will provide not in excess of 300 conductivity units 
which is approximately equivalent to one (1) PPM. 
   3) SOHIO Biobor JF biocide additive at a concentra tion not in excess of 20 PPM elemental boron (270 PPM total 
additive). 
 
     The above additives may be used in combination. 
 
NOTE 9. These engines meet FAA requirement s for operation in icing conditions, for adequate turbine and fan disc integrity 
and rotor blade containment and do not require airframe mounted armoring.  Refer to G.E. Operating Instructions 
SEI-189 for operating procedure under icing conditions.

Page 4 of 4TCDS E7EA 
NOTE 10. The maximum permissible rotor overspeeds are as follows: 
 
       Gas Generator (r.p.m.) 
        Steady State 17,160 for 2 minutes 
        Transient  17,820 
 
       F a n  
        Steady State  9,300 for 2 minutes 
        Transient   9,700 
 
     When any of these limits are exceeded, the engine mu st be inspected as defined in the G.E. Maintenance Manual 
SEI-187. 
 
NOTE 11. Refer to G.E. Operating Instruc tions SEI-189 (Operations Engineering Bulletin Nos. 1 & 2) for list of approved fuels 
and oils. 
 
NOTE 12. An altitude idle speed reset unit (AIR) P/N 6002T64 is av ailable and may be incorporated in the fuel control to 
automatically establish a special flight idle speed schedule within the limits of the minimum flight idle speeds 
defined in SEI-124A -CF700 Installation Manual.  For engines not equipped with AIR, either the aircraft system 
must be capable of maintaining the minimum idle schedule or the pilot must monitor and manually reset idle speed 
to maintain the minimum speed schedule as defined in SEI-124A, unless a modified schedule is coordinated with 
and approved by the General Electric Company.  Engine equipped with the AIR unit are identified by the letter "A" 
following the engine serial number. 
 
NOTE 13. The CF700-2D model engine is the same as the CF700-2C model except for increased ratings and an improved 
turbine.  The CF700-2D-2 model engine is the same as the CF700-2D model, except for increased ratings and larger 
tailpipe area. 
 
NOTE 14. Engine models CF700-2D & -2D-2 may be modified in  accordance with G.E. Service Bulletin No. 72-64 to conform 
to the CF700-2C ratings and limitations by incorporating G.E. Kits P/N 5910T15G01.  CF700-2D or  
     -2D-2 engines so modified have the suffi x letter "K" added to the engine serial number. 
 
NOTE 15. Certain engine parts are life lim ited.  These limits are listed in the FAA approved G.E. CF700 Turbofan Overhaul 
Manual SEI-133, Section 72-00 Inspection. 
 
NOTE 16. Only CF700-2D-2 engine models incorporating the letter "B" designation following the engine serial number are 
eligible for use in NA-265-80 Sabreliner 75A aircraft. 
 
NOTE 17. Fuel venting emission control is not included on thes e engines; and therefore, beginning January 1, 1975, airframe 
compliance must be provided.
