(1) Use Of Pilot and Copilot Oxygen Masks.
To don the mask, grasp the red levers protruding from
the stowage compartment and pull the mask down.
Inflate the mask harness by pressing the red lever on
the left side of the regulator and then don the mask
and release the lever. Three modes of operation are
available which are controlled by a selector lever
located on the bottom right side of the regulator:
(a) NORMAL Mode. When the selector
lever is placed in the NORMAL position, oxygen is
automatically mixed with the proper amount of air at
the aircraft's altitude. The NORMAL mode may be
selected at the discretion of the user at any altitude.
(b) 100% Mode. When the selector lever
is placed in the 100% position, pure undiluted oxygen
is supplied to the mask. The 100% mode may be
selected at the discretion of the user at any altitude.
(c) Emergency (EMERG) Mode. Turning
the EMERG knob, located on the bottom of the
regulator, places the mask in the emergency mode. In
the EMERG, mode the regulator will supply 100%
undiluted oxygen to the user under a positive pressure
to the facemask. The emergency mode should be
used if smoke or fumes are present in the aircraft. The
emergency mode may be selected at the discretion of
the user at any altitude.
e. Passenger
Oxygen
System.
The
passenger oxygen system is of the constant flow type.
Anytime
the
cabin
pressure
altitude
exceeds
approximately 12,500 feet, a barometric pressure
switch automatically energizes a solenoid which opens
the passenger oxygen system shut-off valve. The pilot
or copilot can open the valve manually anytime by
pulling out the passenger oxygen, manual-control
handle, located on the right side of the pedestal. Once
the passenger oxygen system shut -off valve has been
opened, either automatically or manually, oxygen will
flow into the passenger oxygen supply line if the
primary oxygen system line has been charged. That
is, if the oxygen supply cylinder contains oxygen and
the PULL ON SYS READY handle in the cockpit is
pulled out. When the passenger oxygen supply line is
charged, the green PASS OXY ON annunciator on the
caution/advisory annunciator panel will illuminate. The
cabin lights, foyer light, and the center baggage
compartment light will be illuminated in the full bright
mode regardless of the position of the cabin lights
switch, placarded CABIN BRIGHT / DIM / OFF,
located on the copilot's subpanel. Oxygen pressure in
the passenger line causes the passenger oxygen
masks
to
drop
out
of
the
overhead
mask
compartments. The lanyard on the mask must then be
pulled out in order to start the flow of oxygen.
NOTE
The lanyard valve pin must be manually
reinserted into the valve to stop the flow of
oxygen when the mask is no longer
needed.
The passenger oxygen can be shut off and the
remaining oxygen isolated to the crew and first air
outlets by pulling the OXYGEN CONTROL circuit
breaker, located on the right sidewall circuit breaker
panel, providing the PASSENGER MANUAL O RIDE
handle is pushed in to the OFF position.
f. First Aid Oxygen Mask. A first aid oxygen
mask is installed in the aft cabin area as a
supplemental
or
emergency
source
of
oxygen.
Anytime the primary oxygen supply line is charged,
oxygen can be obtained from the first aid oxygen mask
located in the toilet area, by manually opening the
overhead
access
door,
placarded
FIRST
AID
OXYGEN PULL, and opening the ON OFF valve
inside the box. A placard which reads, NOTE: CREW
SYS MUST BE ON, reminds the user that the PULL
ON SYS READY handle in the cockpit must be pulled
out before oxygen will flow from the first aid oxygen
mask.
2-62. WINDSHIELD WIPERS.
a. Description. Two electrically operated
windshield wipers are provided for use at all flight
speeds. A rotary switch, placarded WINDSHIELD
WIPERS, located on the overhead control panel,
selects mode of windshield wiper operation. An
information placard above the switch states, DO NOT
OPERATE ON DRY GLASS. Function positions of
the switch, as read clockwise, are placarded: PARK /
OFF / SLOW / FAST. When the switch is held in the
spring-loaded PARK setting, the blades will return to
their normal inoperative position on the glass, then,
when released, the switch will return to the OFF
position, terminating windshield wiper operation. The
FAST and SLOW switch positions are separate
operating speed settings for wiper operation. The
windshield wiper circuit is protected by one 10-ampere
circuit breaker, placarded WSHLD WIPER, located on
the right sidewall circuit breaker panel.
CAUTION
Do not operate windshield wipers on dry
glass. Such action can damage the linkage
as well as scratch the windshield glass.
b. Normal
Operation.
To
start,
turn
WINDSHIELD WIPER switch to FAST or SLOW
speed, as desired. To stop, turn the switch to the
PARK position and release. The blades will return to
