Hydraulic Reservoir Sampling Point
2.5.5.1
At the top of the hydraulic reservoir, a valved port is provided to permit hydraulic fluid
sampling.
2.5.6.1
There are several manifolds used throughout the launcher, all of a similar
construction, these being:
Chassis
Interface manifold
Tail lift manifold
Slide Frame
A-frame rotate manifold/tilt roller manifold
A-Frame
A-frame fold and stabilizer manifold
Launch Frame
Winch manifold
Articulator manifold
Pinch roller manifold
Launch beam drive manifold
2.5.6.2
Each manifold consists of a manifold block and several valve stacks. Each of the
valve stacks is terminated with a solenoid valve, which allows for both electrical and
manual operation. Operation of all the solenoids is normally controlled via the chest
pack and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) logic with the exception of the A-
frame stabilizer cylinders, which are manually controlled.
