OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS

Stowing the Lifting/Locking Assemblies

CAUTION

Be sure that the winch cables do not have any slack prior to releasing

and stowing the four lifting/locking assemblies. If the cables have slack,

move the lever on the ratchet handle to the right and turn the ratchet

handle clockwise SLIGHTLY to raise the upper section of the CBC. Turn

the ratchet handle just enough to take up any slack in the cables. Do not

raise the upper section beyond the warning line on the side wall of the

upper section. Raising the upper section of the CBC beyond the warning

line may cause the cables to snap. Failure to take out the slack in the

winch cables will make it very difficult to release the lifting/locking

assemblies.

Once the lower personnel door panel has been stowed, the four lifting/locking assemblies (1) must be

released from their vertical position and stowed on the underside of the roof.

To release and stow each of the lifting/locking assemblies (1), remove the hairpin cotter (2) that secures

the handle (3) and swing the handle down so that it is approximately perpendicular to the main tube (4) of

the lifting/locking assembly (1). Replace the hairpin cotter (2) in the clevis pin.

While moving the handle (3) slightly up and down as needed, disengage the base plate (5) with

protruding pins (6) from the slots (7) formed by the interlock extrusion.

When the lifting/locking assembly (1) has been released from the slots (7), remove the hairpin cotter (2)

installed in the clevis pin on the main tube (4) and swing the handle (3) up until the hole in the handle clip

(8) slides over the clevis pin. Lock the handle (3) in position by installing the hairpin cotter (2) in the clevis

pin.
