2. Mixture (If time and altitude permit) ................................. CUTOFF
Generally, a distressed airplane will be safer for its occupants if
the engine is not running.
3.
Activation Handle Cover.................................................. REMOVE
The cover has a handle located at the forward edge. Pull cover
down to expose activation T-handle.
4.
Activation Handle (Both Hands)............. PULL STRAIGHT DOWN
Pull the activation T-handle from its holder. Clasp both hands
around the handle and pull straight down in a strong, steady, and
continuous motion. Maintain maximum pull force until the rocket
activates. Pull forces up to, or exceeding, 45 pounds may be
required. Bending of the handle-housing mount is to be expected.
• WARNING •
Jerking or rapidly pulling the activation T-handle will greatly
increase the pull forces required to activate the rocket. Use a
firm and steady pulling motion – a “chin-up” type pull
enhances successful activation.
