To protect against death from contamination when striking, cab crew must be in full MOPP
gear.
To prevent death or injury to LMS crew from contamination, ensure that inner airlock doors
are closed.
(1)
Remove light set, medical chests and other items from airlocks and store on HMT per Appendix
E.
(2)
Allow TALP airlock to purge for approximately three minutes. Loosen two outer TALP rail
knobs (8, figure 2-51), open outer TALP airlock door (9) and carefully lift rails (2) off knobs (8)
and set on door frame (9). Notify LMS crew that rails can be removed.
To prevent death or injury to LMS crew from contamination, ensure that LMS crew has
closed inner TALP airlock door and the signal to proceed is given.
(3)
Remove door (9) by disengaging latch clamp (10) and removing retaining clamp (11). Place door
(9) and retaining clamp (11) on HMT per Appendix E.
(4)
Push external TALP airlock fabric tunnel (12) through opening in wall of ABS, inverting fabric.
Unroll TALP door flap (13) covering opening and secure with fastener hook and fastener loop
tape. Signal to LMS crew that TALP door flap (13) is secure.
To prevent death or injury to LMS crew from contamination, ensure that inner airlock doors
are closed.
(5)
Remove outer ambulatory airlock door (14) by loosening spring clips, separating loop and pile
fasteners and lifting it from ambulatory airlock opening. Stow door (14) on HMT per Appx. E.
(6)
Unroll ambulatory door flap (15) covering ambulatory airlock opening and secure with fastener
hook and fastener loop tape and buckles. Signal to LMS crew that ambulatory door flap (15) is
secure.
To prevent injury to personnel when removing air beam dump caps, grip dump cap firmly,
release latches slowly and keep face away. Pressure may cause the dump caps to come off
forcefully.
To prevent damage to dump cap lanyard, grip dump cap firmly when removing. Do not allow
dump cap lanyard to forcefully pull away from ABS.
NOTE
Under NBC conditions, ABS will be slow to collapse.

Verify that LMS crew has entered LMS. Starting with dump cap (1, figure 2-53) closest to ECV,
unlatch six dump caps (1) along driver side of ABS and one on ambulatory door area to deflate
the air beams.
