MANUAL EXTINGUISHERS DISCHARGE WITH INTERIOR PULL HANDLES

NOTE

ENG 2 (E3 and E4) and MECH (E5) extinguishers can be discharged by operating vehicle

interior mechanical pull handles located just above CEP.

1.

If fire is present in engine compartment and ENG 1 (E1 and E2) extinguishers have already

been discharged:

a.

Remove quick-release pin (Figure 6, Item 1) and allow shield (Figure 6, Item 2) to pivot down.

switch (Figure 6, Item 5). This action activates engine fuel shutoff solenoid, shuts main engine

Grab ENG 2 handle (Figure 6, Item 3) on operator side "towards vehicle rear" and pull hard to

discharge ENG 2 extinguishers.
