TASK 28-25-00-040-008-A
Refuel/Defuel Control Panel - Manual Refuel

WARNING: DO NOT TRANSMIT WITH THE HF SYSTEM DURING REFUEL/DEFUEL OR TRANSFER OPERATIONS. TRANSMISSION WITH THE HF SYSTEM DURING THESE FUEL OPERATIONS CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR START A FIRE.

WARNING: STOP THE FUEL TANKER 60 m (196.85 ft) FROM THE AIRCRAFT NOSE WHILE THE WEATHER RADAR OPERATES. DO NOT OPERATE THE FUEL TANKER/PUMP UNIT UNTIL YOU STOP THE OPERATION OF THE WEATHER RADAR.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE AREA AROUND THE AIRCRAFT IS SAFE BEFORE YOU START THE REFUEL/DEFUEL PROCEDURE. IN THE SAFETY AREA, DO NOT:

SMOKE
MAKE SPARKS OR FIRE
USE ANY EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT APPROVED FOR REFUEL/DEFUEL PROCEDURES.

AIRCRAFT FUEL IS FLAMMABLE.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE WHEEL CHOCKS ARE IN POSITION. MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE DANGEROUS.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND SAFETY-LOCKS ARE IN POSITION ON THE LANDING GEAR. THIS WILL PREVENT UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF THE LANDING GEAR, AND THUS POSSIBLE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT.

A. Safety Precautions

WARNING: OBEY THE FUEL SAFETY PROCEDURES.

(1) You must obey the refuel/defuel safety procedures (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-001) (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-002).
(2) Make sure that the ground safety locks are installed on the landing gear (Ref. AMM TASK 32-00-00-481-001).
(3) Make sure that the chocks do not touch the tires. The weight of the fuel can lower the aircraft and cause the chocks to catch.
(4) Put the SAFETY BARRIER(S) in position.

4. Procedure
Subtask 28-25-00-860-075-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
(1) Make sure that the aircraft and the fuel tanker/pump unit are grounded correctly (Ref. AMM TASK 12-34-24-869-001) and electrically bonded together correctly.

NOTE: Bonding is mandatory. For grounding you must obey the local area regulations.

(2) Do a fuel sampling for water contamination check on the fuel in the fuel tanker/pump unit (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-28-281-001).
(3) Remove the refuel coupling cap 41QM.
(4) Make sure that the coupling of the fuel supply-hose is clean.
(5) Connect the coupling of the fuel supply-hose to the aircraft refuel coupling.
(6) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
(7) Energize the ECAM system (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).
(8) On the ECAM control panel, push (in) the FUEL P/BSW.
(9) On the ECAM lower DU:

make sure that the FUEL page is shown
make sure that the intercell transfer valves are closed.

(10) If the intercell transfer valves are open:
(a) Refuel the aircraft until there is a minimum of 1000 kg (2204.6220 lb) of fuel in the wing-tank inner-cell.
(b) On panels 49VU and 121VU, open the circuit breakers 1QT and 2QT.

NOTE: It is not necessary to install safety clips and tags on the circuit breakers.

(c) After a minimum of 5 seconds, the FQIC will de-energize.
(d) On panels 49VU and 121VU, close the circuit breakers 1QT and 2QT.
(e) After a minimum of 60 seconds, the FQIC will energize again and cycle the intercell transfer valves.
(f) If the intercell transfer valves stay open:

the inner and outer cells of the wing tanks fill together
the full capacity of the wing tank is less than normal
make an entry in the aircraft technical log, to correct the fuel configuration before the next flight (the wing-tank outer-cells must be filled).

B. Fueling

WARNING: BE CAREFUL NOT TO FILL THE TANKS MORE THAN NECESSARY NEAR THE END OF THE REFUEL PROCEDURE. WHEN YOU USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE (MANUAL PLUNGER), THE HIGH-LEVEL PROTECTION SYSTEM WILL NOT STOP THE REFUELING AUTOMATICALLY. THUS THERE IS A RISK OF OVERFILLING AND FUEL SPILLAGE.

CAUTION: DO NOT REFUEL OR DEFUEL THROUGH THE TWO REFUEL/DEFUEL COUPLINGS AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS TO PREVENT PRESSURE DIFFERENCE PROBLEMS.
