CAUTION
▲
Retract stairs before closing access door and make sure door
deflection area is clear.
▲
To retract stairs from outside the airplane, raise stairs by pushing them upwards from
the lower part and fold them inside cabin. While stairs are retracted, the hand rail folds
up.
To close the door from outside the airplane, press on knob on outside fuselage at the
right side of the door. The door driven by a geared motor tilts downwards up to a
position near the complete closing. Push the door until it aligns with fuselage and lock
it by moving outside handle downwards, then fold handle in its recess.
Check that all latch pins and hooks are correctly engaged, with green marks visible.
In case of geared motor failure, the door can be manually tilted downwards by pulling
sufficiently to override action of compensating struts.
PIM - DO NOT USE FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS
