(Continued)
I
To close the passenger entry door from outside the airplane, raise the
lower door section until the door is held firmly against the door frame in
the fuselage. Rotate the inside handle of the lower door section forward
and down to the CLOSE position (refer to Section
2, Placards). After
the lower door section is secured, grasp the pull strap on the upper
I
door section and pull down. As the door nears the closed position,
grasp the edge of the door and push inward firmly to make sure the
latching pawls engage correctly. When engaged, rotate the outside
door handle clockwise to the horizontal (latched) position. After
entering the airplane, snap the interior handle of the upper
door into its
locking receptacle (unless cargo obstructs access to the door). If
I
desired when leaving the airplane parked, use the key in the outside
key lock to lock the handle in the horizontal position.
WARNING
DO NOT USE THE OUTSIDE KEY LOCK TO LOCK THE
DOOR PRIOR TO FLIGHT. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE
OPENED FROM THE INSIDE IF IT WERE NEEDED
AS
AN EMERGENCY EXIT.
The exterior pushbutton-type lock release located on the upper door
section just forward of the exterior door handle operates in conjunction
I
with the interior door handle. It is used whenever it is desired to open
the door from outside the airplane while the interior door handle is in
. .
the locked position. Depress the pushbutton to release the lock of the
interior door handle and to allow the exterior door handle to function
. .
normally to open the door.
