The Fixed Fire Extinguisher System (FFES) contains two banks of four cylinders each. Each bank discharges

hydraulic and engine compartments. Two sets of pull handles are used to discharge the FFES. One set is located

inside crew compartment on left-hand wall behind the operator. The other set is located outside, on operator side

of vehicle. Each handle in a set of pull handles will discharge one of the banks of cylinders. In addition to two sets

of pull handles, there are manual discharge levers on top of two rear left-side cylinders. These levers may be

used if pull handles malfunction or are not accessible.
