NOTE
To facilitate machine disassembly and sectionalization, it is crucial that machine be positioned on level
ground, with tractor and water distributor aligned and steering centered.
If possible, position machine in direction of helicopter's takeoff, so that pilot does not have to pick up
load, then turn aircraft into takeoff direction.
When hydraulic hose quick-disconnects need to be disconnected, operate control levers through all
positions (WP 0004 00) to relieve any trapped hydraulic pressure in hoses. This will facilitate discon-
nection of hoses.
3.
Position machine on level ground, with tractor and water distributor aligned and steering wheel centered. Place trans-
mission in N (Neutral) and lock, apply parking brake, and lower tank to the ground. Shut down engine. Block tractor and
water distributor wheels.
