CARGO DOORS (Continued)
To close the cargo door from outside the airplane, disconnect the
holding strap or chain from the fuselage, swing the door aft to the
closed position, and hold the door firmly against the fuselage door
frame to assure engagement of the latching pawls. Rotate the inside
handle forward and down to the CLOSE position to latch the lower door
section. After the lower door section is secured, grasp the pull strap on
the upper door section and pull down. As the door nears the closed
position, grasp the edge of the door and push inward firmly to assure
engagement of the latching pawls. When engaged, the exterior door
handle can be rotated counterclockwise to the horizontal (latched)
position. On the Passenger Version only, after entering the airplane,
snap the upper door interior handle into its locking receptacle (unless
cargo obstructs access to the door). If desired when leaving the
airplane parked, use the key in the outside key lock to lock the handle
in the horizontal position.
To open the cargo door from inside the airplane (Passenger Version
only), pull the inside door handle of the upper door section from its
locked position receptacle. Rotate the handle counterclockwise to the
vertical position, and push the door outward. When the door is partially
open, the automatic door lifts will raise the upper door section to the
fully open position. Next, rotate the door handle of the lower section
door up and aft to the open position and push the aft end of the door
outward. The door may be completely opened and secured to the
fuselage with the holding strap or chain from outside.
U.S.
WARNING
Do not attempt to exit the cargo version through the
cargo doors. Because the inside of the upper door
has no handle, exit from the airplane through these
doors is not possible without outside assistance.
To close the cargo door from inside the airplane (Passenger Version
only), disconnect the holding strap or chain from the fuselage and
secure it to the door. Pull the door aft to the closed position and hold the
aft edge of the door firmly against the fuselage door frame to assure
engagement of the latching pawls. Rotate the inside handle forward
and down to the CLOSE position to latch the lower door section (refer
to Section 2, Placards). After the lower door section is secured, grasp
the pull strap on the upper door section and pull down. As the door
nears the closed position, grasp the edge of the door and pull inward
firmly to assure engagement of the latching pawls. When engaged, the
interior door handle can be rotated clockwise to the horizontal position.
Snap the handle into its locking receptacle.
