The fuel condition lever has a ”HI / IDLE” locked position.
Change from idle ”HI / IDLE” to ”LO / IDLE” position is only possible after
having overridden the idle gate. To override idle gate, raise lever and move it
rearwards.
”MAN OVRD” emergency fuel regulation lever
Emergency fuel regulation lever is normally in locked position. In case of FCU
or power lever failure, it allows setting engine power manually. Unlocking and
locking are performed by pulling lever knob up.
NOTE :
The power available if the power lever fails will be limited by the position of the
lever.
