DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
prevent oxygen loss through an unused mask assembly. If the control knob is
ON and the fitting is in the
receptacle, oxygen will flow through
the mask
continuously. If a
dual
manifold
connector
is used, both masks must be
donned. Masks
may
be damaged if they are
not
properly
stowed.
WARNING
Positively NO SMOKING
while
oxygen
is
being used by anyone in the airplane.
To stop the flow
of oxygen through the system, the control knob should
be turned OFF by rotating
fully
clockwise,
finger
tight.
To preclude
the possibility of
fire by
spontaneous
combustion,
oil,
grease, paint, hydraulic fluid and
other
flammable materials
should be kept
away from
oxygen
equipment.

OXYGEN SYSTEM
A fixed oxygen system to provide supplementary
oxygen
for the crew
and passengers during high altitude flights
(above.
10,000
feet) is
availableas
optional equipment. (Refer to Section 9,
Supplement 4, for
FAA Approved
supplemental
information.)
The major
components
of the system are a 63 cubic
foot
oxygen
cylinder, an oxygen supply gauge, an ON-OFF flow
control knob, a pressure
regulation, six plug-in receptacles and six oxygen
masks.
The
oxygen
cylinder is
mounted aft in the tailcone. When fully charged,
the cylinder contains
oxygen at a pressure
of
1850 psi at 70°F. The
oxygen
supply
gauge
is mounted
in the aft overhead
vent
duct. The gauge is
complimented
with a post light for night viewing.
To light, the bottom
(switch), located
near the oxygen control
knob must be pushed in. The
oxygen
flow control knob, labeled "PULL-ON" is mounted in
the pilot's
overhead
panel. The pressure regulator is
mounted directly on the oxygen
cylinder.
Once
the oxygen
flow
control
knob is
on,
each of
the
oxygen
plug-in receptacles
operates
as an automatic
ON-OFF valve. The
oxygen
cylinder can be
recharged
through the access door aft
of
the
rear
window
on
the left side of
the fuselage.
If high altitude flight is anticipated,
it
should be determined that the
oxygen supply is adequate for the proposed
flight
and that the passengers are
briefed. When
oxygen
is
required,
the control knob should be pulled forward
