TM 1-1520-240-102-6-2 2-6-5. PWR XFER Switches.The two-position PWR XFER (power transfer) 1 and 2switches are located on the UTIL (utility) hydraulic por-tion of the HYD control panel (fig. 2-6-1). Each switch islabeled ON and OFF. If either switch is ON, 28-volt DCopens the normally closed solenoid valve in the corre-sponding PTU and open a valve in the pressure controlmodule. This allows utility hydraulic system pressure tooperate the hydraulic motor pump on that PTU, pressur-izing the flight control hydraulic system. Consequently,the flight controls can be operated on the ground formaintenance and checks without the rotors turning.When both switches ar ON, No. 1 and No. 2 flight controlhydraulic systems will be pressurized. Both hydraulicmotor pumps of the PTU’s supply pressure for flight con-trol operation, When the switches are OFF, the solenoidvalves are closed and the flight controls cannot be oper-ated unless the rotors are turning. Power for theseswitches is supplied by the No. 2 DC bus through theHYDRAULICS PWR XFER circuit breaker on the No. 2PDP.2-6-6. RAMP PWR Switch.WARNINGWhen the RAMP PWR switch is at OFF, besure the RAMP CONTROL valve is notmoved from STOP. Operating the valvefrom STOP to UP or DN may cause theramp to free fall.The RAMP PWR switch is on the lower right side of theUTIL hydraulic portion of the HYD control panel (fig.2-6-1). The switch has three positions labeled ON, OFF,and EMERG. At ON, the ramp isolation valve in the utilitysystem pressure control module is open, allowing sys-tem pressure for normal ramp operation. At OFF, theramp isolation valve is closed, isolating the ramp systemfrom the remaining utility systems. This prevents loss ofutility system fluid if the ramp system fails. At EMERG,electrical power is supplied to the RAMP EMER switch,allowing the ramp and cargo door to be opened andclosed from the cockpit. Power to operate the RAMPEMER switch and ramp isolation valve is supplied by theNo. 1 DC bus through the HYDRAULICS UTIL SYSCONT circuit breaker on the No. 1 PDP.2-6-7. BRK STEER Isolation Switch.The BRK STEER isolation switch is on the HYD controlpanel (fig. 2-6-1). It is a guarded two-position switch la-beled ON and OFF. At ON, the brake and steering isola-tion valve in the utility system pressure control module isopen, allowing system pressure for normal brake andsteering operation. At OFF, the brake and steering isola-tion valve is closed, isolating the brake and steering sub-systems from the remaining utility systems. ON is thenormal flight position. OFF is used when there has beena hydraulic failure in the brake or steering system. Settingthe switch to OFF in this case prevents loss of systemfluid. This allows the remaining utility subsystems to con-tinue to function normally. The brake system contains anaccumulator which allows limited system operation in ahydraulic failure. The swivel lock system also has a smallaccumulator which keeps the swivel locks locked with thesystem isolated. Power to operate the BRK STEERswitch and valve is supplied through the HYDRAULICSBRK STEER circuit breaker on the No. 1 PDP.2-6-8. RAMP EMER Control Switch.WARNINGThe RAMP EMER control switch is in-tended for emergency use only duringsmoke and fume elimination procedures.Inadvertent operation of the cargo rampand cargo door from the cockpit may re-sult in injury to personnel or damage toequipment.The momentary, guarded, three-position RAMP EMERG(ramp emergency) control switch is located on the UTILhydraulic portion of the HYD control panel (fig. 2-6-1).This switch allows the pilot, in an emergency condition,to raise or lower the ramp to a partially open, fully open,or fully closed position. The switch is labeled UP, HOLD,and DN (down), and is spring loaded to the center(HOLD) position. the switch is active only when theRAMP PWR switch is set to EMERG. For up operation,the ramp will move only while the momentary switch isheld in the UP position, and will stop as soon as theswitch is released. For down operation, the switch has aminimum 5 second function which allows the pilot to low-er the ramp for 5 seconds by momentarily moving theswitch to DN and immediately releasing it. The down-ward ramp movement will stop 5 seconds after the switchis selected to the DN position (5 second timer circuit). Ifthe ramp and cargo door (ramp tongue) are in the fullyretracted into the ramp. The ramp can be further loweredin 5 second intervals, by momentarily reselecting the DNposition when the ramp stops. The downward motion ofthe ramp may be stopped at any time by momentarilysetting the RAMP EMERG switch to the UP position. Theramp can also be lowered continuously (for more than 5seconds) by holding the switch in the DN position until thedesired ramp lever is achieved.At the UP or DN position, 28-volt DC activates the re-spective up or down solenoid on the ramp control valve.The ramp control valve handle moves to the selectedposition, and the ramp repositions as selected. At HOLD,electrical power is removed from both the up and downsolenoids. The ramp control valve handle moves to theSTOP position and the ramp remains locked in position.Power for the switch is supplied by the No. 1 DC essential
