GRAVITY DEFUELING EQUIPMENT
Gravity defueling is accomplished by installing the defueling valve to
the defueling port and putting the other hose end into the defueling
cart. The airplane must be previously grounded. Opening the shutoff
valve will cause the defueling operation to initiate. When the selected
remaining quantity is reached, closing the valve will stop defueling.
