EMERGENCY STOPPING
If the LCM-8 Mod 2 is travelling forward at cruising speed, emergency stopping can be accomplished as follows:
WARNING
Warn the passengers and crew as early as possible before initiating an EMERGENCY
STOP procedure. Failure to comply could result in serious injury or death to personnel
due to shifting cargo and lost footing.
1.
Place both propulsion control levers in the NEUTRAL position until the engines have returned to IDLE speed.
2.
Shift both propulsion engine control levers into the ASTERN position.
3.
Increase the speed of both engines to full speed ASTERN.
4.
When the vessel stops, return both propulsion control levers to the NEUTRAL position.
EMERGENCY RAMP OPERATION
Lower the Ramp
When the propulsion engines cannot be operated, or when a malfunction of the ramp hydraulic system is encountered, the
bow ramp can be lowered by the following procedure:
1.
Disengage both PTO clutch levers to stop the ramp hydraulic pumps. Refer to the Lowering the Bow Ramp procedure
in WP 0023 00 for PTO clutch lever operating instructions.
2.
Remove the cover from the hand pump compartment.
3.
