WARNING
Install locking pin (Item 13, Figure 17) in valve
actuator guards of crew extinguisher cylinder bottles
no. 3 and 4 and make sure locking pins are installed
in valve actuator guards of crew cylinder bottles no.
1 and no. 2 before attempting to remove bottle
assemblies (Vehicles 1 through 344).
WARNING
Install locking pin (Item 15, Figure 18) in valve
actuator guards of crew extinguisher cylinder bottles
no. 3 and 4 and make sure pins are installed in valve
actuator guards of crew cylinder bottles no. 1, no. 2,
no. 5, and no. 6 before attempting to remove cylinder
bottle assemblies (Vehicles 345 and above).
With the crew AFES deactivated, you are now ready to begin the removal of
the crew AFES cylinder bottles.
The item numbers used to identify the
components referred to in the following procedures are illustrated in Figure
17 for vehicle series 1 through 344 and in Figure 18 for vehicle series 345
and above.
Begin the
removal process by installing the anti-recoil plugs (Item 3,
Figure 17
and 18) in the discharge ports of the crew AFES cylinder bottle
assemblies
(Items 1, 2, 4, and 12, Figure 17 and Items 1, 2, 4, 12, 13, and
14, Figure
18).
Removal of the actuator cable from crew AFES cylinder bottles no. 3 and no.
4 is the next step to be taken. The hex nuts which secure the cable housing
to the actuator assembly housing must be loosened. Look closely at Item 14
in Figure 17 and item 16 in Figure 18 and you will see the hex nuts which
require loosening. Now remove the cotter pin (Item 8, Figure 17 and Item 6,
Figure 18), the connector pin (Item 5, Figures 17 and 18), and the washer
(Item 7, Figure 17 and Item 8, Figure 18).
Removal of these items will
enable you to remove the actuator cable (Item 9, Figures 17 and 18) from the
manual valve actuator guards (Item 6, Figure 17 and Item 7, Figure 18) of
the crew AFES cylinder bottle assemblies no. 3 and no. 4 (Items 2 and 12,
Figures 17 and 18). Discard the cotter pin (Item 7).
