Galley Electrical Power
A Galley Emergency Power Off Switch is located in each galley. The switch is
covered with a red guard. With the red guard closed, the switch is in the
NORMAL (on) position. If there is an emergency, the red guard should be lifted
and the toggle switch placed to the OFF position. This removes all electrical
power to the galley. The Galley Emergency Power Off Switch should be used
only during an emergency situation.
Galley Water System
Galley water is supplied from four potable water tanks. The tanks have a
combined usable capacity of approximately 420 gallons (1600 liters). The tanks
are normally pressurized with air from the airplane pneumatic system. When
pneumatic pressure is not available, alternate pressurization is automatically
provided by an electrically driven air compressor. Water is not available while the
tanks are being serviced.
Water Shutoff Valve
Each galley that has running water is equipped with a water shutoff valve.
Positioning the water shutoff valve to OFF turns off water to that galley.

Galley Waste System
Galley sink waste water is drained overboard through heated drain masts.
To prevent sink drain blockages do not put solid waste (coffee grounds, tea bags,
fruit pulp, and so on) in the sink drain. Put solid waste in the galley waste bins.
Mixtures, which can curdle and create a drain blockage, should be diluted with an
equal amount of water.
Solid waste is stored in removable waste bins within each galley.
Do not remove the sink drain strainer.

Galley Non-Normals
Floor Drains Flooding with Fluid Overflow
Flooding can occur in the floor drains located near the main deck entry doors, on
the galley floor, or in the food cart lift well. The flooding at these drains is caused
by a blockage in the normal drain system. If a drain is overflowing, do not pour
any more fluids into a galley sink adjacent to a flooding floor drain. Fluids should
be disposed of in another galley sink.
Galley Sink Drain Blockages
If a sink drain is blocked, or drainage is slow, no more fluids should be poured into
the sink. Dispose of fluids in another galley sink.
Galley Emergency Power Off Switch
A galley Emergency (EMER) POWER OFF SWITCH is located in each galley.
The switch is guarded. With the guard closed, the switch is in the NORM (on)
position.
If there is a non-normal condition, lift the guard and position the switch to OFF.
This removes all electrical power to the galley.
Galley electrical power should immediately be shut off for malfunctions such as
fire, smoke, electrical arcing, and so on.
Note: When placing the galley Emergency Power Off switch to the OFF position,
notify the flight deck.

exit the airplane, and also serve as emergency exits. Additionally, there are two
overwing emergency exit doors, door 3, and two upper deck doors which function
as emergency exits only.
The operation of the main deck passenger entry doors is discussed in Section 20,
Passenger Entry Doors. The operation of the overwing emergency exits is
discussed in Section 30, Overwing Emergency Exits. The operation of the upper
deck doors is discussed in Section 40, Upper Deck Doors.

Overview
Main Deck Passenger Entry Doors
The ten main deck passenger entry doors are used to enter and exit the airplane,
and also serve as emergency exits. Doors on the left side of the airplane are
identified as 1L, 2L, 4L, and 5L are generally used for passenger entry. Doors on
the right side of the airplane are 1R, 2R, 4R, and 5R are generally used for the
servicing of the airplane.
The main deck passenger doors can be opened or closed manually from inside or
outside the airplane. The doors are inward-outward opening, plug-type doors.
When opened, the door first moves inward then swings outward and forward.
Each door is held in the open position by a gust lock. The gust lock drops into a
latch as the door nears its forward limit of travel. A window in each door allows
observation outside the airplane.
Rotation of the door operating handle forward to the CLOSED position

Overwing Emergency Exit Overview
The overwing emergency exits, doors 3L and 3R, are for emergency use only and
are inward-outward opening, plug-type doors, identical in appearance and
operation to the passenger entry doors. When opened, the door first moves inward
then swings outward and forward. Each door is held in the open position by a gust
lock.The gust lock drops into a latch as the door nears its forward limit of travel.
A window in the door allows observation outside of the airplane.
An overwing emergency exit ramp and slide are contained in the door 3L and 3R
door bustle.
Escape straps located at Door 3 can be attached to a fitting near the leading edge
of the wing between the engines. The escape straps will aid personnel in
maintaining footing while moving outboard on the wing during ditching.
When the door mode select lever is in AUTOMATIC position and the door
operating handle is rotated 180 degrees, the door begins to open and the power
assist system activates.
If the ramp/slide does not open automatically, pulling the manual inflation handle
located in the door sill will inflate the ramp/slide.
WARNING: Door 3 ramp/slides are not usable as life rafts and should not
be deployed during a ditching situation. If door 3 is used as an
alternate evacuation exit during ditching, the door mode select
lever must be in MANUAL to allow the door to be opened
without deploying the ramp/slide.
Door 3 is not to be used as a primary exit during ditching
operations. Deployment of both the door 3 ramp/slide and the
door 4 slide/raft on the same side of the aircraft will cause
interference with the normal operation of the door 4 slide/raft
and the door 4 slide/raft may then be unusable.

door has a mode select lever that functions similar to the main deck mode select
lever in controlling automatic slide deployment.
With the mode select lever in AUTOMATIC, opening the door automatically
deploys the escape slide. If an upper deck door opens, but the automatic system
fails to deploy the escape slide, the slide can be deployed by pushing it out the
door. Due to the heavy weight of the slide, manual deployment could require more
than one person to push the slide out the door.
Door warning straps are installed at each of the two upper deck doors.
In flight, a flight lock mechanism is automatically activated to hold the upper deck
door operating handle in the closed position.
The door power assist system automatically opens the upper deck door when the
mode select lever is in AUTOMATIC and the door operating handle is moved to
OPEN.
WARNING: If the door does not open or the slide fails, use the other door.
If both doors fail to open, move the passengers to the main
deck. The upper deck doors cannot be opened manually.
WARNING: Do not use the upper deck doors during ditching operations.
The upper deck slides are used for escape only and cannot be
used as rafts.
Note: If automatic slide inflation fails, the slides have a manual inflation handle
located on the right side of the slide apron.
WARNING: Extreme caution should be used during manual deployment of
the slide to prevent falling out the door.
