Exterior Equipment
The steps are secured in the mezzanine seat base
with “push to close” latches when they are not be -
ing used. When they are slid out to the deployed
position, two twist lock latches secure each step
to the base of the helm.
To use the steps, release the latch and slide the
step out until it contacts the base of the helm.
Lift the handle and rotate the twist latch on each
side of the step to secure the step to the helm
base. Make sure each latch is fully engaged with
the handle folded into the latch to secure it before
using the step.
To stow the steps, release the latches and slide
the step into the mezzanine base. Push firmly to
secure it with the latch.
Always make sure the steps are secured with the
latches when they are in the stowed position.
WARNING
THE STEPS MUST BE SECURELY LATCHED TO THE
HELM BASE WITH THE TWIST LATCH HANDLES FOLDED
COMPLETELY INTO THE LATCH BASES TO PREVENT THEM
FROM OPENING BEFORE USING THE STEP. IF THE STEP IS
NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE HELM BASE, IT COULD
SLIDE UNEXPECTEDLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF BALANCE
AND INJURY TO THE PERSON ON THE STEP.
