Manual Actuators – Service (Item 14)
WARNING: Do not loosen any hose connections or fittings in the LOP actuation system while the system is
pressurised. This will cause the system to discharge. Prior to servicing any LOP actuators ensure the system is
depressurised by depressurising the PEFS F3 cylinders using the Schrader valve fitted to the cylinder Filler Plug
Assembly. Ensure pressure indicators on manual actuator reads zero pressure.
