Installing the right aft emergency exit hatch from the inside:
The emergency exit hatch is designed to be installed
from inside the cabin only. Ensure the seat next to the
emergency exit hatch is positioned in the fully
inboard position before installing the hatch.
1. Position the emergency exit hatch next to the emergency exit
opening on the inside of the cabin.
2. Tilt the upper end of the emergency exit hatch down and
inward (several inches).
3. Position the lower edge of the hatch so that the fittings on the
lower edge of the hatch align with and engage the fittings on
the lower side of the emergency exit opening.
4. Set the hatch in place on the lower fittings and grasp the
emergency exit handle and pull it fully inward and down. This
will retract the latch pins into the top of the hatch.
5. While keeping the latch pins retracted, push the upper edge of
the emergency exit hatch into the cabin structure (hatch frame).
Ensure the emergency exit hatch seal fits into the hatch frame
evenly and does not become caught or bound.
6. Release the emergency exit handle and ensure the latch pins
extend into the cabin structure. The handle is spring-loaded and
should fully retract when released.
7. Attach the handle cover to the inner panel with the hook and
loop fasteners.
RIGHT AFT EMERGENCY EXIT ANNUNCIATIONS
A hatch warning system microswitch is installed on one of the latch
pins above the right aft emergency exit hatch frame. If this microswitch
senses that the latch pin is not in the fully extended position, the switch
will cause an amber caution EMERGENCY EXIT message to be
displayed on the EICAS.
