2.25.2.3
Deployment Using External (10 kW TQG) Power
To prevent death or injury to personnel from contamination, do not shut ECV off until
external TQG is set up and operational.
NOTE
Communications between LMS crew and cab crew are essential. A method of communication
should be established as early as possible (possibly prior to mission). This can take the form
of voice communications, hand signals, field phones if available, or a combination of any of
these methods.
At times voice communications will be difficult due to high noise levels.
a. Cab Crew Tasks
Refer to para 2.24.2.3 for deployment using external power.
b. LMS Crew Tasks
Switching to external power prior to shutting down ECV engine will cause damage to engine.
