TM 1-1520-240-102-1-6 2-1-10. Brakes and Steering Isolation Switch.The brakes and steering isolation switch is on the HYDcontrol panel on the overhead switch panel (fig. 2-1-10and 2-1-14). It is labeled BRK STEER, ON, and OFF. Theswitch isolates the brakes and steering hydraulic subsys-tems from the rest of the utility hydraulic system in theevent of a leak in the subsystem. The normal position ofthe switch is ON. The switch is guarded to ON. Setting theswitch to OFF, closes the power steering and brakesvalve on the utility system pressure control module, iso-lating the brakes and steering subsystem. With theswitch at OFF, limited brake application are available dueto an emergency brake accumulator in the brake subsys-tem. Power to operate the isolation valve is from the No.1 DC bus through the HYDRAULICS BRAKE STEERcircuit breaker on the No. 1 PDP.2-1-11. Instrument and Control Panels.NOTEThe NVG overhead switch panels are shown.Description of control panels and operatingprocedures reflect NVG configuration only.Figures 2-1-5 and 2-1-6 show center and cantedconsoles. 712Figures 2-1-7 through 2-1-10 show thecopilot instrument panel, center instrument panel, pilotinstrument panel, and the NVG overhead switch panel.714A Figures 2-1-11 through 2-1-14 show the copilotinstrument panel, center instrument panel, pilot instru-ment panel, and the NVG overhead switch panel.2-1-12. Personnel/Cargo Doors.Entry can be made through either the main cabin door or thecargo door and ramp.2-1-13. Main Cabin Door.The main cabin entrance (15, fig. FO-1) door is on the rightside of the cargo compartment. The door is divided into twosections: the upper section containing a jettisonable paneland the lower section forming the entrance step. Whenopened, the upper section slides upward on overhead railsand the lower section swings downward. When closed, thetwo sections mate to form the complete door. Handles areprovided on both the outside and the inside of the door foraccessibility. Refer to Chapter 5 for the allowable airspeedimposed on the helicopter while operating with the cabinentrance door sections in various positions.2-1-14. Cargo Door and Ramp.Chapter 6 provides a detailed description and operation ofthe cargo door and ramp.2-1-15. Pilot and Copilot Sliding Windows.The upper section of each jettisonable door (39, fig. FO-1)in the cockpit contains a sliding window. The window slidesfore and aft and is locked and unlocked by a handle at theforward end of the jettisonable door. The handle is movedforward to lock the window and aft to unlock the window.2-1-16. Seats.The pilot’s and copilot’s seats (9 and 40, fig. FO-1) are ontracks to permit forward and aft, vertical and reclining posi-tion adjustments. Bungee cords in each seat exert an up-ward force on the seat when it is down or tilted.2-1-17. Seat Fore-and-Aft Lever.A fore and aft control lever (14, fig. 2-1-3) for horizontal seatadjustment is on the right side of each seat support carriage.When the lever is pulled UP, the seat is unlocked and canbe moved along the tracks on the cockpit floor. When thelever is released, the seat is locked in position horizontally.The total range of the horizontal movement is 4 inches in 1inch increments.2-1-18. Seat Vertical Lever.Vertical seat adjustment (15, fig. 2-1-3) is controlled by alever on the right side of each seat. When this lever is pulledUP, the seat is unlocked and can be moved vertically alonga track through a range of 5 inches. The range is divided into1/2inch increments. When the lever is released, the seat islocked in position vertically.CAUTIONWith the seat in the full up rotation posi-tion (zero tilt) the seat may not be able tobe locked in the full down vertical posi-tion. Ensure the seat is locked when ad-justing the vertical axis, especially whenthe seat is in full up rotation position (zerotilt).2-1-19. Seat Rotation Lever.A control lever (20, fig. 2-1-3) for adjusting the seat recliningposition is on the left side of each seat. When this lever ispulled UP, the seat is unlocked and can be rotated througha 15º tilt range divided into four equal increments. The seat,in effect, is pivoted up and down around a horizontal axis.When the lever is released, the seat is locked in the selectedtilt position.2-1-20. Armored Seats.Both the pilot and the copilot seats are equipped with acombination of fixed and adjustable ceramic armor panels(fig. 2-1-15). Fixed panels are installed under the back andbottom seat cushions and on the outboard side of each seat.A shoulder panel (if installed) is mounted on the outboardside of each seat. The shoulder panel is hinged from theseat back so it can be moved aside for ease of exit from thehelicopter. The panel is secured in its normal position by alatch and an exerciser cord.
