Three points are used to lift the Aircraft.
- Point A located under the fuselage at frame 10a.

- Points B and B under the wings at rib 10.
- A fourth point C not usable for lifting at frame 85 is a SAFETY POINT.
Jacking adaptors are required at the wing jacking points.
They are normally covered by aerodynamic fibreglass fairings.
The nose jack point is covered by a small hinged panel held closed by quick release
fasteners.
The safety jack point is also covered by an aerodynamic fibre glass fairing.
In the open air jacking is prohibited if the wind velocity exceeds 20 knots.
In any condition the A/C nose must be in the wind direction.
Using the clinometers installed in the main landing gear wheel, keep the A/C level during
lifting to ensure that excessive side loads are not placed on the jack adaptors or the A/C
structure.
Observe the different weight limitations given in the respective manuals.
If the A/C electrical network is supplied, check C/B for correct configuration
(refer to maintenance manual).

GENERA L
Normal towing operation should be carried out on suitable ground.
During towing manoeuvers, one person shall be in the cockpit in order to operate the
brakes if required.
Two other people shall watch the wing tips.
TOW-BAR
For normal towing operation a conventional tow-bar is used.
It equipped with a damping system, one calibrated shear pin, and two calibrated turn
shear pins for gear protection against excessive loads.
The two-bar can be connected either to the front fitting for forward pulling or rearward
pushing, or to the rear fitting for forward pushing or rearward pulling.
Tow-bar disconnection :
After push-back with hydraulic power available.
The tow-bar must be disconnected from the nose gear fittings before removing the tow
lever safety pin.
In the case of nose wheels deflection, this is to avoid pressurization of the steering
actuators so that the wheels align before the disconnection of the tow-bar.

NOSE AND MAIN LANDING GEAR SAFETY PIN
If required the landing gear may be mechanically down-locked by inserting the ground
safety pins.
INTERP HONE BOX
To acquire the 95° maximum steering angle the nose wheel steering actuators have to
be connected to return.
This is carried out by setting the towing handle in the TOWING position.
(It must be locked by a safety pin).
TOWING ANGLES
The maximum angle allowed on each side of the A/C centre line is 95° whatever towing
arrangement is used.
This steering angle is restricted to 40° during rearward pushing using the front fitting
with the engines at idle to avoid the tractor entering into the engine section areas.

COURSE NOTES MANUAL
The aircraft network is supplied by a ground power unit by means of an external power
receptacle located aft of the nose landing gear well. This receptacle supplies :
- Either the whole network by means of the transfer circuit.

- Or only part of the network for ground service operation (flight/ground network).
On the external power receptacle are mounted two lights : NOT IN USE
AVAILABLE.
As soon as the EXTERNA L POWER UNIT is connected, the GPCU is monitoring its
parameters which are the same as the engine generator ; if any parameter is not correct
( voltage... ) the EXT PWR UNIT cannot be connected to the aircraft network.
The AVAILABLE and NOT IN USE lights stay extinguished.
On control panel AVAIL light is not illuminated.
With the ground power unit connected and selected ON, the GPCU analyses the
voltage delivered at the external power receptacle ; if the analysed parameters are
correct the GPCU controls the illumination of the green AVAIL light located on
electrical control panel, the EXT PWR AVAIL and EXT PWR NOT IN USE lights
located on external power receptacle also are illuminated.
When the control P/B sw located on elec, control panel is pressed in ; the EPC
(External Power Contactor) closes and supplies the transfer circuit.
The position of the P/B sw is maintained electromagneti cally and trips in case of GPCU
fault detection.
It should be noted that once it is pressed in, AVAIL legend goes off and the blue ON
legend comes on to indicates EPC closure, the EXT PWR NOT IN USE light will
extinguish.
Any GPCU fault detection causes the ground power unit tripping by cancelling the
ELEC/E XT PWR P/B self holding and the EPC will open.
The ON and the EXT PWR AVAILABLE lights will extinguish.

AC and DC ground/flight distribution networks can be supplied :

- either normally from the aircraft network
- or directly by the ground power unit upstream of the external power contactor, in
ground service configuration.
With the MAINT BUS selector at ON (sw position electromagnetically latched), the
ground/flight buses are supplied from the EXT PWR.
By selecting the EXT PWR P/B on, the aircraft network and ground/flight busbars are
supplied by the EXT PWR unit via the EPC.
When EXT PWR is lost, the aircraft network and the ground /flight busbars are no
longer supplied.
The EXT PWR control P/B sw and the MAINT BUS switch are released.

CARGO LOADING / LOADING/UNLOADING OPERATION
DATE : JUN 1990 DCA0901

43
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
* Loading of a dual LD3 container :
When the door is opened, all the manual door sill latches have to be
lowered and the power switch set to ON to get the cargo loading system
electrically supplied.
The system being ready to operate, push the container up to the 1st
drive unit.
When the container enters the cargo compartment, it overrides the
overridable door sill latches.
Then select IN, on the control panel (remember that the control lever is
spring loaded to neutral).
Both lateral drive units run, the containers enter into the cargo
compartment. When they are in position, the overridable door sill latches
raise.
At this moment, it quite often occurs that the 2nd container is over the
forward retractable XY guide.
Therefore, the containers are not ready for the aft movement.
The SPLITTING function has to be used.
When SPLIT is selected (by pushing the control lever), one drive unit
runs in the LOAD direction and the 2nd one in the UNLOAD direction.
Therefore both containers are split, the forward retractable XY guide
raises, the containers are aligned in their respective rows and ready for

44
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
Then, selecting AFT, the longitudinal drive units run, both containers are
transported to the rear part of the cargo compartment.
The transport is over and the containers have to be locked by raising

their container latches 42".
The drive units which are under the containers will not run when loading
the next containers.
* Unloading of a dual LD3 container :
The first thing to do is to unlock the containers manually, by setting

down the container latches 42".
Then select FWD, on the control panel. The longitudinal drive units run,
the containers are transported to the entrance area.
The overridable door sill latches are not overridable in the unloading
direction, so the sill lock handle has to be lowered.
When the sill lock handle is lowered, the overridable door sill latches
clear out of the way as long as the handle is held in the down position.
Then select OUT on the control panel, the containers leave the cargo
compartment.
Note that the first two containers must be unloaded separately, otherwise
it is impossible to unlock the second one.

MANUAL DEFUELLING
The manual defuelling needs a suction of 11 PSI. The fuel will flow out of the aircraft via
the refuel system :
- the R/D VALVE S SWITHES must be at OPEN.
- the MODE SELECTO R switch must be at DEFUEL.
In fact, approximately 120 kg are left in a tank.
When a tank is empty, close the correspond ing REFUEL/DE FUEL VALVE by setting the
R/D VALVES switch to the SHUT position. When all the tanks are empty, set the MODE
SELECTO R to OFF and guarded; then, set all the R/D VALVE S to NORM & guarded.
DEFUELLING WITH A/C PUMPS
it is also possible to defuel the A/C or any individual tank using the aircraft fuel pumps.
In this case, the only action necessary on the refuel panel is to set the TRANSF VALVE
switch to OPEN, to interconnect the crossfeed line and the refuel line.
Then on the fuel panel in the cockpit :
- OPEN the CROSS FEED valve.
- START all TANK PUMPS.
The fuel passes from the crossfeed pipe through the transfer valve into the R/D line and
from there into the refueller.
Note : For defuel with fuel in TRIM TK, CTR TK cannot be defuelled unless TRIM TK is
also selected.
Reset all switches!
Defuelling is over.

Without electrical power, the quantity indicating system is inoperative. In this case, the
magnetic fuel level indicators must be used to monitor the quantity in the tanks.
Location: They are arranged in the wing tanks so that the gaging continuity is achieved
for all ground standing attitudes:
- 3 in each outer tank.

- 4 in each inner tank.
- 1 in the center tank.
- 1 in the trim tank.
FUEL MAGNET IC LEVER INDICATO RS OPERATION
OPERATION: To measure the fuel quantity, the magnetic level indicator has to be
unlocked. To accomplish this, press and turn the bayonet type lock device a quarter
turn with a screw-driver. Then the metering stick will come down slowly until the 2
magnets are at the same level. The rod has a metering scale marked in centimeters.
Note: The aircraft attitude is read on a clinometer; and the information, in conjunction
with the fuel specific gravity is converted by means of a chart, into fuel mass.
ATTITUDE INDICATOR (CLINOMETER).
The Attitude Indicator installed in the main landing gear bay is an assembly of 2 levels:
- 1 level is mounted along the Pitch axis.
- 1 level is mounted along the Roll axis.
Reading: The sliding cursor scale is positioned by use of the index numbers so that it
spans the bubble symmetrically. The center pointer is then indicating the aircraft
attitude, in degrees from axis level, on the fixed scale.
FUEL QUANTIT Y TABLES
The aircraft attitude, the fuel density and reading on the metering stick allow the fuel
quantity in each tank to be read using the fuel quantity tables.
There is three tables by MLI according to the aircraft pitch attitude.

LOCATI ON
Water which collects beneath the fuel in the lowest parts of the tanks is drained away
through small bore pipes connected to manually operated WATER DRAIN VALVES.
The shape of the inboard end of each wing tank and the outboard ends of the center
tank, form sumps in which a water drain is located. The booster pumps are positionned
in each main tank to leave an unpumpable fuel quantity of at least 0.01 of the tank
volume.
UTILIZA TION
Periodic operation of the water drain valves will ensure that water does not collect in the
bottom of the tanks in sufficient quantities to cause malfunction of the fuel system or
engine operation
Center tank
For reason of ease of access to the drain valve poppets, it is not

possible to install the drain valves directly in the lowest point of the tank.
The two drain valves are thus connected with the lowest point of the
tank pipes. Drainage through the valve is therefore indirect.
Trim tank
To perform a correct drainage of the trim tank, it must contain at least

700 Kg (1543 Lb) of fuel. If the trim tank is empty, fuel has to be
transferred from the main tanks.
In this case, the transfer has to be monitored with a particular care as
the CG is moved
Vent tank
The drain valve in the Vent tank opens directly from the tank to the
lower wing surface.
A drain tool is available at the rear of the bulk cargo.
REMOV AL / INSTALLATION
If a drain valve is leaking, the piston can be changed without emptying the tank:
- first, remove the valve seat by using a hexagon pin spanner.

- next, pull out the piston, followed by the spring and the piston sleeve,
then
- install the new piston.
