NOTE
Solenoid valve numbers can be seen on the yellow tags, which are attached to each
electrical lead connected to the solenoid or on the etched plates adjacent to the valves on
the manifolds.
Opening
7.4.1.1
Ensure that all the correct procedures have been carried out prior to folding out the
A-frame legs. Go to rear of the vehicle at the center of the A-frame, and locate
the solenoid by depressing the mushroom button. The stabilizer legs will then open
away from the operator until they are fully extended and the pins can be fitted. As
soon as the solenoid is released, the motion will stop.
Closing
7.4.2.1
Ensure that all the correct procedures have been carried out prior to folding in the A-
frame legs. Go to rear of the vehicle at the center of the A-frame, and locate
depress the mushroom button. The A-frame legs will rotate inwards and the motion
will stop once the button is released.
Open
7.5.1.1
Ensure that all the correct procedures have been carried out prior to rotating the A-
frame. Locate SV16 on the launch frame pilot manifold (Figure 7.17), depress the
mushroom button and clip SV16 to release the articulator stowing cylinder. Go to
the left hand side of the vehicle and operate the solenoid valve SV19b on the A-
frame rotate manifold (Figure 7.15). The launcher A-frame stabilizer legs will then
rotate toward the operator. Hold the button until it is fully raised and the shootbolts
can be fitted. As soon as the solenoid is released, the motion will stop.
7.5.1.2
Unclip solenoid SV16 after completion of the operation.
Closing
7.5.2.1
Ensure that all the correct procedures have been carried out prior to lowering the A-
frame. Operate and clip SV16 on the launch frame pilot manifold (Figure 7.17) to
release the articulator stowing cylinder. Go to the left hand side of the vehicle and
operate the solenoid valve SV19a on the A-frame rotate manifold (Figure 7.15). The
launcher A-frame stabilizer legs will then rotate away from the operator. Hold the
button until the launcher is fully lowered. As soon as the solenoid is released, the
motion will stop.
7.5.2.2
Unclip solenoid SV16 after completion of the operation.
