WARNING: OBEY THE FUEL SAFETY PROCEDURES.
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: DO NOT SPILL FUEL ON THE ENGINES OR THE BRAKES. IF YOU SPILL FUEL ON ENGINES OR BRAKES THAT ARE HOT, IT CAN CAUSE FIRES.
WARNING: PUT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
  • THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
  • THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
  • THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS
  • COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
MOVEMENT OF COMPONENTS CAN KILL OR CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
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.

Subtask 28-25-00-941-088-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Safety Precautions
   (1) Obey the safety procedures (Ref. AMM TASK 28-00-00-910-001).
   (2) Obey the refuel/defuel safety procedures (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-001)
   (3) As necessary, use the applicable SAFETY BARRIERS, specified by the operator's instructions and your local regulations.
   (4) On fuel control panel 40VU and Additional Center Tank (ACT) fuel control panel 28VU:
     (a) Install the WARNING NOTICE(S) to tell persons not to operate refuel/defuel system.
Subtask 28-25-00-010-089-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Get Access
   (1) Put the ACCESS PLATFORM 3M (10 FT)- ADJUSTABLE in position below the refuel/defuel coupling 40QM.
   (2) Open refuel/defuel panel door 192MB.
Subtask 28-25-00-860-077-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
C. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
   (1) Make sure that the fuel tanker is in the correct position.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU BOND THE FUEL TANKER TO THE AIRCRAFT. IF YOU DO NOT, AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE CAN OCCUR WHICH CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
   (2) Obey the local regulations for grounding (earthing) the aircraft. If you must ground (earth) the aircraft:
     (a) Ground (earth) the fuel tanker/pump unit and the aircraft correctly (Ref. AMM TASK 12-34-24-869-001).
   (3) Bond the fuel tanker/pump unit to the aircraft (Ref. AMM TASK 12-34-24-869-001).
   (4) Remove refuel coupling cap 41QM.
   (5) Make sure that the hose-coupling of the fuel tanker/pump unit is clean.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE FUEL SUPPLY HOSE IS CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE COUPLING BEFORE YOU REFUEL/DEFUEL THE AIRCRAFT. DO NOT CONNECT THE FUEL SUPPLY HOSE IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT COUPLING LUGS OR SLOTS.
   (6) Connect the hose coupling of the fuel tanker/pump unit to aircraft refuel/defuel coupling 40QM.
   (7) Set the fuel tanker/pump unit to the refuel mode.
   (8) Make sure that the wheel-chocks are in correct position:
     (a) Move the aft Nose-Landing-Gear (NLG) wheel-chocks away from the tires.
NOTE: During the refuel the NLG tires roll aft as the Main-Landing-Gear (MLG) shock-absorbers compress.
     (b) Make sure that the wheel-chocks do not touch the MLG tires.
NOTE: The weight of the fuel can lower the aircraft and cause the tires to catch the wheel-chocks.
   (9) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits:
     (a) If you have external power available, energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
     (b) If you do not have external power available, on refuel/defuel control panel (800VU), put the BATT POWER switch to the ON position.
NOTE: The HOT BUSS 701PP is energized for 10 minutes only (this is to prevent discharge of the aircraft batteries), unless you put the MODE SELECT switch (on the refuel/defuel panel) to REFUEL.
Subtask 28-25-00-010-089-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
D. Get Access
   (1) Put the ACCESS PLATFORM 4M (13 FT)-ADJUSTABLE in position below the refuel/defuel coupling 100QM(40QM).
   (2) Open the refuel/defuel panel door 192MB.
Subtask 28-25-00-860-077-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
E. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
   (1) Make sure that the fuel tanker is in the correct position.
   (2) Make sure that the aircraft and the fuel tanker/pump unit are grounded (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.
   (3) Remove the refuel coupling cap 101QM(41QM).
   (4) Make sure that the coupling of the fuel supply hose is clean, then connect it to the aircraft.
   (5) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits:
     (a) If you have external power available, energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
     (b) If you do not have external power available, on the refuel/defuel control panel (800VU), put the BATT POWER switch to the ON position.
NOTE: The HOT BUSS 701PP is energized for 10 minutes only (this is to prevent discharge of the aircraft batteries), unless you put the MODE SELECT switch (on the refuel/defuel panel) to REFUEL.
