Section 1: General Description
1. Description of the Jetway^Truss Passenger Boarding Bridge (Figure 1)
A. A FMC Technologies Jetway® Truss Passenger Boarding Bridge is a

convenient way to board and leave an aircraft and keeps passengers safe
from rain, snow, jet blast, noise, and dust. The FMC Technologies
Jetway® Truss Passenger Boarding Bridge also separates the passengers
from the aircraft's ground crews.
B. The FMC Technologies Jetway® Truss Passenger Boarding Bridge is a

telescoping passageway that can be driven from a parked position beside
the terminal to the aircraft itself. These Apron Drive bridges come in a
variety of lengths and options, depending on the needs of the airport.
C. The FMC Technologies Jetway® Truss Passenger Boarding Bridge is

driven using PLC controls mounted on a console in a cab that is
separated from the passengers' walkway.

Section 2: Description of Major Components
1. Introduction
Beginning with the airport terminal, the bridge includes: rotunda, tunnels, wheel
carriage, drive column, cab, and service stairs. The following sections treat
these components separately for easy reference.
2. Rotunda (Figure 1)
A. The rotunda connects the bridge to the terminal and is the point at which
the bridge pivots for vertical and horizontal motion. During operation, the
rigid frame and roof rotate on the column a total of 175 degrees to allow
for horizontal bridge movement. The floor, ceiling, and wall panels
adjacent to the terminal remain stationary.
B. The steel column supports the rotunda and serves as the pivot point. The
columns base bolts to a concrete foundation. An electrical disconnect
panel brings terminal power to the bridge's electrical requirements.
C. The rotunda has right and left side curtains, which wind and unwind on
large spools as the bridge rotates. The spools mount inside steel
cabinets on the rigid frame. Both spools have springs installed along
their axis, which places tension on the curtains, keeping them taut. A
series of idler rollers guide the curtain slats from the spools to the circular
tracks in the rotunda ceiling and floor.
D. The rotundas interior finish includes floor coverings, metal curtains,

ceiling tile, and light fixtures.
E. Tunnel Adjustment Rollers and Bumper Stops
The tunnel adjustment Rollers maintain alignment between the “A” Tunnel
and rigid frame as the bridge moves up and down. The bumper stops
provide a mechanical stop for the tunnels at full retraction.
F. Slope, over-travel and swing limits are located on the rotunda.

3. Tunnel Sections (Figure 1, Chapter 1, Section 1)
A. Starting from the rotunda, the tunnels are labeled "A", "B" and "C"
respectively. Bridges with two tunnels have "A" and "B" tunnels only. All
Tunnels are made of sheet steel and bar flanges.
B. Gutters install on either side of the bridge, inside "B" on the two-tunnel
units, and inside both "B" and "C” on the three-tunnel units.
C. Rollers (Figures 2 & 3)
Several banks of rollers enable the bridge to extend and retract. All
tunnels have upper and lower rails or tracks. Stops are welded in the
lower rails of either the "B" or "C" tunnels to prevent the rollers from going
past the end of the tracks.
D. Cable Carrier Assembly (Figure 4)
Cable carrier tracks are installed underneath tunnel "A" on 2 tunnel units
and underneath tunnel "A" and "B" on 3 tunnel units. The trolley assembly
rolls in the track. Mounted to each trolley assembly is a cable support
arm. The electrical cables are secured to these arms by straps. The
cables travel in a zig-zag fashion down the bottom of the tunnels.
E. Three-tunnel Equalizing Cables (Figure 5)
This steel cable pulls Tunnels "B" and "C" at the same time so that each
tunnel will extend and retract an equal distance. The cable bolts to the
back of Tunnel "A", then routes around a sheave on the front of Tunnel B,
and attaches to a cable clamp on the back of Tunnel "C". From the cable
clamp the cable goes around a sheave on the back of Tunnel "B" and ties
off on the front of Tunnel "A".

3. Tunnel Sections (Continued)
F. Cable Tray
The cable tray mounts under the “C” Tunnel on three tunnel bridges and
under the “B” Tunnel on two tunnel bridges (See Figure 1, Chapter 1).
G. Ramps
Ramps install at the ends of Tunnels "A" and "B" to eliminate the steps
passengers would otherwise have to climb. Hinges connect these ramps
to the tunnels. The ramps at the end of the "B" Tunnels rise for cleaning
access.
4. Wheel Carriage (Figure 6)
The wheel carriage includes: carriage frame, wheels and tires, drive chain,
motors, cable lift arms and electric cables, wheel position sensor and height
indicator.
A. Wheels
Two aircraft tires bolt to the carriage frame. A trunnion support egualizes
the load over each wheel.
B. Chain Drives
The right and left roller chains have double sprockets on the motors
shafts and wheels enclosed by chain guards.
C. Motors and Brakes
A variable speed gear motor with integral brakes drives each wheel. The
brakes release as the drive motor energizes. These brakes can also be
released mechanically, in the event of a power failure and the bridge must
be towed.

D. Cable Lift Arms
A cable lift arm assembly on the drive column keeps the cables to the
wheel carriage from snagging. The cables run between the tunnel
mounted J-box through the scissors to the wheel carriage to the wheel
motors.
E. Wheel Position Sensor
The wheel position sensor mounts inside the lower drive column cross
beam. This sensor sends an analog 0 -10vDC signal to an Analog
Module of the I/O string. The wheel position is then displayed on the
Operator Interface Terminal and shows the direction the wheels are
facing. The actual wheel angle is also displayed in degrees.
F. Height Indicator
The height indicator assembly is mounted in a small junction box, which

in turn mounts on the center hinge of the cable lift arms. As the bridge
moves up or down the shaft in the hinge turns a position sensor. This
sensor also sends an analog 0 - 10vDC signal to an analog input module
of the I/O string. The bridge height is then displayed on the Operator
Interface Terminal located on the control console. The height value is
displayed in feet.

5. Vertical Lift Column (Figure 7)
The Apron Drive Bridge has two vertical lift columns. Each column as a ball
screw and nut housed within a square steel tube. Each column also includes:
vertical drive motor, brake, and limit switches.
A. Ball Screws
This assembly, in addition to ball screws and nuts, has: spacers, coupler,
thrust bearings, top plate, oil cup, and lubrication funnel. The ball screw
and nut have a concave, helical ball race, forming a closed track through
which ball bearings circulate as the screw turns. As the motor turns, the
ball nut drives along the longitudinal axis of the screw, changing the
rotary motion of the screw to a linear motion of the nut.
B. Vertical Drive Motors and Brakes
These motors use electro-magnetic, spring-setting brakes, designed to

precisely stop and hold a load. The brake coils connect directly to the
motor and automatically release the brakes when the motors energize.
C. Vertical Limit
There are two Vertical Limits. (1) Programmable Software Limit and (2)
LS-8 Ultimate Limit Switch. These limits restrict the upper and lower
movement of the column. If the software limit is reached, motion in that
direction is stopped. The operator is only allowed to drive in the opposite
direction. It the software limit fails to stop the vertical motion and a
Vertical Ultimate Limit is activated all vertical motion is disabled. A
maintenance person must use the bypass button, located inside the
control console to enable vertical motion to clear the Ultimate Limit fault.
See Caution. The maintenance person must use caution while driving with
the bypass button pressed.
Ia CAUTION: THE OVERRIDE BUTTON FOR THE VERTICAL LIFT

COLUMN LIMIT SWITCHES ARE TO BE USED ONLY BY
QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. SEE

D. Column Fault Switches
One spring-loaded limit switch is installed near the anti-friction pads at the
bottom of each column. Their function is to stop the column should one
vertical motor fail to keep pace with the other, causing the column to rack
or list to one side.
6. Cab (Figure 8)
The cab is mounted at the aircraft end of the bridge. It is designed to rotate
either 125 or 185 degrees to correctly meet the aircraft door. A gear motor
mounted underneath rotates the cab. The cab also includes: side curtains, roll
up door, console, automatic leveler and service door and stairs.
A. Cab Door
(1) Roll-Up Door (Optional) (Figure 9)
This door, when opening, rolls around a six-inch, spring-loaded

spool mounted above the cabs ceiling.
(2) Swinging Doors (Standard) (Figure 10)
These doors swing toward the terminal about a vertical axis and
can be latched open or closed.
B. Aircraft Closure
The closure seals the gap between the cab and the aircraft. The closure
is patterned after a folding bellows. The right and left sides of this closure
operate independently, adapting to the contours of different aircraft.
Pressure-sensitive limit switches on either side prevent the canopy from
pressing too hard against the aircraft.

C. Cab Side Curtains
The curtains are made of metal and, like the rotunda curtains, have right
and left sides. Both wind and unwind on spools as the cab rotates.
These spools are in metal housings on either side of the cab. Both
spools have springs mounted along their axis which, when adjusted
properly place tension on the curtains, keeping them taut.
D. Automatic Leveler
A leveler is necessary for the bridge to follow the changing height of the
aircraft. Because an aircraft typically raises and lowers on its suspension
as it is loaded or unloaded, there is a danger of a plane scraping against
a bridge and damaging its skin. The auto leveler is awheel switch that
rests against the fuselage of the aircraft. If the aircraft moves up or down,
the wheel turns and closes the switch, which engages the vertical drive
motors and enables the bridge to follow the aircraft.
E. Console
The console, separated from the passenger walkway, has the controls
necessary to operate the bridge. It is positioned on the left side of the
cab and oriented to give the operator a full view of the aircraft during
bridge maneuvering and docking. All controls are described in Section 4
of this chapter.
F. Adjustable Cab Floor
The aircraft end of the cab is equipped with an adjustable floor to

horizontally align with the aircraft door sill. It operates manually or
automatically depending on bridge equipment.

7. Service Access (See Figure 11)
The service door, the landing, and the stairway may be located in either of two
places: the cab bubble or tunnel "C". This offers access between the bridge and
apron for authorized personnel.
A. Service Door
The service door is a steel hollow-core, 3/4 hour fire rated door, with a
wire-glass window. This door swings out to the landing and has an
automatic closure.
B. Landing
The landing is level with the tunnel floor. It has an open mesh grating and
is surrounded by steel handrails. A light above the service door
illuminates the platform.
C. Service Stairs
These stairs have self-adjusting, open-mesh tread risers. Both sides of

the stairs have handrails. Casters adjust the stairs as the bridge moves
up and down. These castors also enable the stairs to follow the bridge
around the apron.
1>NOTE: The load capacity for the landing is 3500 lbs. total, and the
load capacity for the stairs is 2600 lbs. total (Maximum
concentrated load per tread is 300 lbs.)

3. Circuit Sequence Analysis
This section describes the step-by-step phases of operation for the electrical systems.
Reference each step to the schematic diagram. The schematic for your bridge is with
the electrical drawings in section 8 of this book.
A. Lighting and Control Circuit Breaker
The lighting and control circuit breaker (CB-6) controls the 120 volts AC
needed to operate the lighting.
B. Main Contactor, ICON
(1) Logging on to the PBB via the Password Screen supplies 24 VDC power
to the coil of 1 CON via the emergency stop button, console interlocks,
vertical limits, rotunda stop limits and the ICON interlock.
ICON closes contacts to supply 480 volt power to reversing contactors

of the vertical drive, and cab rotate. Power is also supplied to the
horizontal drive Variable Frequency Drive controllers.
(2) Power to 1 CON will be interrupted by any of the following.
(a) E Stop Button (PB-2A)
This push button removes the power to the coil of ICON. The B
side of this push button sends a signal to the PLC Controller.
(b) Console Interlocks (LS-1, LS-2 and LS-3)
These interlocks remove power to the coil of 1 CON and de

energize the contactor if the lower console, faceplate or upper
console doors are opened.
June 2006 1 -3
"FMC Technologies
JETWAY®
(c) Vertical and Swing Ultimate Limits (LS-8 and LS-9)
These limits remove power to the coil of 1 CON if the bridge

exceeds its Ultimate vertical up/down or swing limits.
A BYPASS button (PB-3) located inside the lower console will

bypass these limits and allow the bridge to be driven away from
these limits.
(d) 1 CON Interlock Relay
This allows the PLC to remove the power from the coil of 1 CON if
necessary.
(3) With ICON energized, 480 VAC is supplied to the vertical drive
contractors and to the cab rotate and horizontal drive AC motor
controllers.
A set of auxiliary contacts on ICON supplies 24 VDC to a digital input to

tell the PLC that 1 CON is engaged.
C. Manually Operated Systems
(1) Cab Rotation
With the bridge in “OPERATE” mode, the Cab Rotate pushbutton

becomes active and the Cab Rotate Indicator light is illuminated,
provided there are no interlocks which would prevent Cab movement.
When the cab rotate buttons are pressed, power is applied to the Cab
Rotate motor through contactor 3M, which is controlled by the PLC. The
motor is protected through circuit breaker CB-10.
1 -3 June 2006
^IVIC Technologies
JETWAY®
(a) Cab Rotate Left
Pressing the cab rotate left button (PB-7B) signals the PLC to
energize the cab reversing contactor, 3M. Left cab rotation
continues until the pushbutton is released or until a left limit
(software or ultimate) is reached, in which case the relay is de
energized by the PLC
(b) Cab Rotate Right
Pressing the cab rotate right button (PB-8B) signals the PLC to
energize the cab contactor, 3M. Right cab rotation continues until
the pushbutton is released or until a right limit (software or
ultimate) is reached, in which case the relay is de-energized by
the PLC.
(c) Cab Software and Ultimate Limits
Cab software limits are set using the Operator Interface Terminal,
and cab position is sensed by Cab Rotation Potentiometer, PT3.
The Cab Ultimate Limits are activated by limit switch LS-20 to the
PLC.
(2) Horizontal Drive
With the bridge in “OPERATE”, the PLC will allow horizontal movement
of the bridge, provided there are no interlocks or limits that would
prevent movement. Movement of the Joystick from the neutral position
provides forward and reverse directions, while the steer left and right
buttons provide left/right input directions to the PLC.
Analog values for forward/reverse are also sent from the Joystick to an
analog input. These inputs allow the PLC to calculate desired direction
and speed of movement for the bridge.
June 2006 1 -3
dFIVICTechnologies
JETWAY®
Finally, to allow the bridge to move, the PLC releases the brakes when
both inverters reach a minimum frequency output as set up in the
inverters. Input signals to the PLC indicate that the inverters have
reached this frequency.
Speed control is determined by the amount of Joystick displacement

from the neutral position. The farther from the neutral position, the faster
the bridge travels up to the Maximum speed setting.
Horizontal bridge movement is halted whenever a limit or interlock is

encountered in the direction of bridge movement. For example, if the
bridge is moving forward and an extend limit is reached, the bridge will
stop and a message will be displayed on the Operator Interface
Terminal. However, reverse movement would be allowed. Other limits
or conditions, which would halt movement in a given direction, are the
swing limits, retract limits, slope limits, inverter faults, and other optional
interlocks, such as the 400 Hz hoist in the down position, etc.
Bridge movement is automatically slowed to half speed whenever the

bridge is near the extend or retract limit, or whenever the infrared sensor
detects an object in the path of the bridge.
Extend/Retract software limits are sensed by Bridge Extension

Potentiometer PT4. Ultimate Limits are activated through LS-25A and
LS-25B which are connected to inputs of the I/O string.
(3) Pre-Position (Optional)
The Passenger Boarding Bridge can be pre-positioned to any preset

position (horizontal, vertical, cab and wheel bogie) by preprogramming
specific positions for each desired aircraft. All positions are
programmed through the Operator Interface Terminal pre-position setup
screen.

(4) Vertical Drive
With the PBB in “OPERATE”, the Vertical Drive pushbuttons become

active and the Vertical Drive Indicator light (LT-2) is, provided there are
no interlocks which would prevent vertical.
When the vertical drive buttons are pressed, power is supplied to the
vertical drive motors through contactor 2M. The motors are protected
through circuit breaker CB-9 and thermal overloads 20L1-20L3 and
50L1-50L3.
(a) Vertical Up
Pressing the vertical up button (PB-5B) signals the PLC to

energize the vertical up contactor, 2MU which provides 3-phase
power to the vertical drive motors. Vertical drive up will continue
until the button is released, a vertical up limit (software or
ultimate) is reached or until the slope up limit (LS-27A) is
reached.
(b) Vertical Down
Pressing the vertical down button (PB-6B) signals the PLC to

energize the vertical down contactor, 2MD which provides 3-
phase power to the vertical drive motors. Vertical drive down will
continue until the button is released, a vertical down limit
(software or ultimate) is reached or until the slope down limit (LS-
27B) is reached.
June 2006 1 -3
-FMC Technologies
JETWAY®
(c) Vertical Software and Ultimate Limits
Vertical Software limits are set via the Operator Interface Terminal
and are sensed by Height Potentiometer PT5. The Ultimate Limits
are activated through limit switch LS-8B. If a Vertical Ultimate is
activated, power is removed from the bridge through interlock
switches LS-8A.
(d) Vertical Slope Limits
Slope limits are activated if the slope of the bridge, from rotunda
to cab, is above or below specified angles.
Activation of the up slope limit, LS27A, signals the PLC to disable

vertical drive up and horizontal retract. Driving the bridge forward
or down deactivates the limit.
Activation of the down slope limit, LS27B, signals the PLC to

disable vertical drive down and horizontal retract. Driving the
bridge forward or up deactivates the limit.
(e) Column Fault Limits
Column fault limits are activated when one of the drive columns is
moving slower in relation to the other column due to a
malfunction in a drive component.
If either drive column moves out of square by five inches or more

with respect to the other column, LS-23 activates and signals the
PLC to disable vertical movement. The Operator Interface
Terminal also displays a message indicating the bridge is in a
rack fault condition.
1 -3 June 2006
"FIVICTechnologies
JETWAY®
(f) Vertical Overloads
The overloads are activated if the vertical drive motor draws more
current than the overloads are rated for. When the overloads heat
up enough, the overload contacts open and disable all vertical
drive functions by opening the 3-phase connections to the motor.
A message is also displayed on the Operator Interface Terminal.
The overloads take approximately five minutes to cool down

before the overload contacts can be reset.
(5) Canopy Drive
The canopies are operated by a single OIT screen button, although

each canopy has its own actuator.
(a) Canopy Extend
Pressing the canopy “EXTEND” button signals the PLC to

energize the right and left canopy actuators to extend the
canopies. At the same time, the right and left canopy brakes are
energized and released. Capacitors wired in parallel to the
canopy motors help start the motors.
The canopy lower limits, LS-17A and LS-15A govern the canopy
down travel.
^NOTE: The canopy lower limits will not activate until back pressure
is applied to the canopy.
June 2006 1 -3
JETWAY®
When sufficient back pressure is applied to the canopies, such as

when the canopies contact an aircraft, switches LS-17B and LS-
15B close signaling the PLC to retract the canopies until the
pressure is removed, thus protecting the aircraft and canopies.
(b) Canopy Retract
Pressing the canopy “RETRACT” screen button signals the PLC

to energize the right and left canopy actuators to retract the
canopies. At the same time, the right and left canopy brakes are
energized and released. Capacitors wired in parallel to the
canopy motors help start the motors.
The canopy retract limits, LS-16 and LS-14 govern the canopy up
travel. When either switch (or both) is closed, it indicates that one
or both canopies are not in the fully retracted position. If both
canopies are not fully retracted in OPERATE MODE, horizontal
forward movement is disabled and a message is displayed.
(6) Auto Level
When the PBB is placed in “AUTOLEVEL” mode by pressing the

“AUTOLEVEL” button, the PLC disables manual operations of the bridge
such as horizontal movement, vertical movement, cab rotation, canopy
movement, etc.
With the PBB in “AUTOLEVEL”, the PLC deploys the auto level arm; the
arm stops when the autolevel extend limit switch signals the PLC that
the arm is fully deployed.
At that time, the bridge does a test nod to verify the operation of the auto
level hardware. If this test fails, an alarm is sounded and a message is
displayed on the Operator Interface Terminal. At that point, the auto
level function is not available, and corrective action should be taken to
fix the problem.
1 -3 June 2006
^IWIClechnologies
JETWAY®
To clear the fault condition, the operator must return to "OPERATE" mode
turning the Key Switch to the OPERATE position. If putting the PBB back into
‘AUTOLEVEL” mode does not correct the problem, maintenance must be
called. Never leave a passenger boarding bridge against an aircraft without the
auto level system working.
As the aircraft raises or lowers due to changing loads, the wheel limit contacts
LS-40A or LS-40B close and signal the PLC to raise or lower the bridge to
match the level of the aircraft. The bridge is raised or lowered by powering the
vertical drive motors.
When the bridge raises or lowers as a result of the auto level wheel input, a
software timer begins timing to allow only four seconds for the bridge to self
level. This is to safeguard against a hardware failure that would allow the
bridge to continue to raise or lower resulting in damage to the aircraft. If the
timer times out before the auto level wheel returns to the neutral position, the
PLC sounds an alarm, a message is displayed, and the auto level system is
disabled.
It is then necessary to place the passenger boarding bridge in "OPERATE"

mode to retract the auto level arm. The malfunction should be corrected
before the bridge is placed back in service. Never leave a passenger boarding
bridge against an aircraft without the auto level system working.

(7) Adjustable Cab Floor
The ACF floor is a movable floor consisting of a linear actuator and

controls that allow the floor to be adjusted manually or automatically to
maintain a level position relative to the aircraft.
In the manual mode, the floor is controlled by raise and lower

pushbuttons located on the LCD screen. In the automatic mode, the
floor is controlled by the ACF reference module located under the cab
floor. In automatic mode, if the floor is too far out of level, fault circuits
will disable automatic leveling of the floor.
(a) Manual Mode
The cab floor is in manual mode when there are two screen
buttons showing up/down movement.
When pressed, the two buttons signal the PLC to either raise or
lower the Cab Floor.
(b) Automatic Mode
The Automatic Cab Floor (ACF) is in automatic mode when one

screen buttons is present representing the floor movement.
Automatic movement is activated when the ACF FLOOR
AUTO/MAN button is pressed on the Option screen while the ACF
Floor is in MANUAL mode and vice versa.
In automatic mode, the lower, raise, and fault inputs govern the
operation of the cab floor and signal the PLC to either lower,
raise, or disable the cab floor.

(1) Flood Lights
When the screen floodlight button is pressed, the floodlights will turn on.
This button is an on/off button; press it once to turn the flood lights on,
press it again to turn them off.
(2) Interior Lighting
A 3-way switch, one leg near the service door, the other leg near the
terminal entrance, controls the interior, ceiling mounted, fluorescent
lights.
(3) Exterior Lighting
The service stair light is controlled by a photocell, which is an integral

part of the lighting fixture. The obstruction light and gate ID sign are
also controlled by photocells.
(4) Emergency Lighting
A battery pack operates the emergency lights, which will come on

whenever the regular lighting is interrupted.

Section 4: Operating Controls
1. Operator Control Console (Figures 1 through 5)
The console, located in the cab, has all the controls needed to operate the Passenger
Boarding Bridge.
A. Controls
(1) Power is applied to the PBB through 1-CON, when a valid password is
entered from the touch screen.
(2) Pressing the “Log OFF” button removes power from the bridge.
(b) In an emergency, the emergency stop button should be pressed

immediately. This kills power for all bridge movements and lights
up the emergency stop switch. This switch is a Push-Pull
maintained contact switch, push to engage, pull to reset.
(3) Auto Level Button
Pressing the Auto Level button causes the Auto Level arm to extend.
Once extended the PBB will follow the up/down movements of a docked
aircraft. (See Section 5, Paragraph 15 Operating Procedures.)

This controls the bridges horizontal functions; forward/reverse and

left/right. Since this is a Point ‘n Go steering system, simply point the
joystick in the desired direction of travel. Its handle is spring-loaded and
returns to neutral when released.
(10) Travel Warning Bell
This screen button will ring the travel warning bell before bridge
movement is undertaken. The bell will ring automatically when the
bridge moves, but the button gives an early warning capability to the
operator.
B. Status Messages
(1) Messages
The status of the PBB, whether in Manual mode or Auto-level mode, will
be shown in the messaging area of the touch screen. These messages
will display fault and warning messages, as well as operational status of

B. The following explains what to do if the bridge swings too far, going past
the limits on the rotunda column.
(1) If the bridge swings to its first limit, a warning message will be
displayed. Should this happen, the operator must drive the bridge
in the opposite direction to prevent a complete shutdown.
(2) Swinging too far past the first limit will trip the second limit, rotunda
rotation, LS-9. Power to operate the bridge except for lighting will
shut down. Call maintenance for assistance.
(3) To place the bridge back in operation after LS-9 trips, press the
"BY-PASS" button inside the control console's cabinet. This button
must be held down while completing the following:
(a) Log on to the bridge, if not logged on.
(b) Drive the bridge in the opposite direction to allow normal

bridge operation.
C. The following procedure outlines what steps to take if the bridge contacts
the steer mechanical stops during a steer or drive operation.
1) Steer the wheel bogie to the zero steer angle so horizontal travel
will only extend the tunnels. Check the voltage from the wheel
position potentiometer. The voltage should be 4.3 +/- 0.1 volts
DC. Adjust the pot in the wheel bogie junction box as required to
achieve this voltage.
IA CAUTION: CONTINUAL IMPACTS WITH THE MECHANICAL STOP

DURING THE STEER OPERATION MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO OTHER DRIVE COMPONENTS.
1 -5 June 2006
•FMC Technologies
JETWAY®
2. Parking Procedures
A. If the wind exceeds 60 mph, the bridge should be rotated so that its
length points away from the wind. Try to minimize the amount of side
area exposed to the wind. The bridge should be fully retracted and
lowered. Wheel chocks should be used at these times.
B. Facing the bridge away from the wind and using wheel chocks will
provide adequate protection against winds up to 90 MPH. if winds
exceed 90 MPH the following procedures should be observed.
(1) Park the bridge so that it is centered over the hurricane tie down
lugs located on the apron (if provided). The bridge must be
positioned so that the tie-down straps are perpendicular to the
centerline of the bridge when the bridge is fully retracted and
down.
(2) The tie-down ears are close to the cab end of the bridge. These
ears are welded to the I-beams supporting the cab bubble.
^>NOTE: Tie-down ears and straps are optional equipment.
(3) 3 inch straps and hardware should be used.
(4) All tie-down straps should be snug, not overly tight. Over
tightening the straps reduces the load they can carry and might
overload the bridge. Tie-down straps should be adjusted so that
there are at least two wraps around the load binder slotted pin.
June 2006 1 -5
"FMC Technologies
JETWAY®
C. Jet Blast Protection for the Cab
(1) Retract the bridge and rotate the cab away from jet blast.
(2) Close the roll-up door.
(3) Ensure the aircraft starts its turn well away from the bridge. Never
allow the jet blast to be directed towards the roll-up door or cab
face.
D. Unattended Aircraft, Parked Overnight
(1) FMC Technologies Jetway® officials realize some customers have

made a habit of leaving an unattended unit parked against an
aircraft with the auto level system switched on. While FMC
Technologies Jetway® has full confidence in the Auto level
system, this practice nonetheless is an unnecessary risk to the
aircraft, or the bridge, or both. An unattended bridge presents
three problems:
(a) If the power were interrupted, even momentarily, the main

contactor would drop out. Power to the bridge then has to
be re-set manually. In the meantime, the auto level system
is dead.
(b) If a component failed, causing the auto level system to

malfunction, the circuit would kill the vertical drive. If there
were no one on hand who could recognize and react to the
warning, the bridge would remain inoperable.
^NOTE: If either conditions a or b occurred, the aircraft would be

in danger. Loading or unloading the aircraft would
change its height, and the aircraft could scrape against
the bridge.
(c) There is always danger a vandal might tamper with the

controls.
1 -5 June 2006
JETWAY®
(2) Recommended Procedure
(a) If there is an auto level warning, or an outright power failure,

a qualified operator must be close by to recognize and
remedy the trouble before danger to the aircraft can
develop.
(b) When the aircraft is parked overnight, and the bridge is

unattended, we highly recommend the aircraft's door be
closed and the bridge retracted about six feet. If it is
necessary for the bridge to remain at the aircraft overnight,
the aircraft's door must be closed and a qualified operator
must be close by at all times.
3. Optional Jacking Stand and Tow Bar Procedures (Figure 2)
A. When a jacking stand is required:
(1) Raise the bridge enough to clear the stand.
(2) Place the stand directly under the support beams and 6 feet in
front of the vertical lift column.
(3) Lower the bridge until the caster springs compress, and the stand
sets solidly on the ground.
(4) Continue to hold the "Down" button, raising the wheel carriage off
the ground, for service.

B. Because of a power failure or other malfunction, it may be necessary to

tow the bridge. If the bridge must be towed the following procedure
should be adhered to.
(1) Set the tow bar in place at the drive column.
(2) Fit the columns hitch plates between the connecting plates on the
tow bar and insert the connecting pins.
(3) Connect the tow bars ring to the tractor.
(4) Release the magnetic brakes on the wheel carriage.
lACAUTION: BECAUSE THE WARNINGS AND INTERLOCKS ARE NOT

WORKING, TAKE CARE THAT THE WHEEL BOGIE DOES
NOT ROTATE TOO FAR WHILE TOWING. DO NOT
ROTATE THE BRIDGE MORE THAN 87.5 DEGREES
FROM ITS CENTERLINE.
4. Emergency Procedures
Each airport should set emergency procedures for evacuating the bridge. A few
suggestions we hope will be useful.
A. Should, the operator lose control of the bridge, press the emergency
"STOP" button. This kills the main supply power, except for the lighting.
B. If the unit must be towed; a special tow bar should be installed on either
end of the wheel carriage. Next, release the magnetic brake.
C. Whenever the brakes are released and the bridge rest on an uneven
surface, take care to keep the bridge from rolling.
D. When the wind exceeds 60 mph, see the parking procedures in this
chapter.

5. Servicing the 747-400 Aircraft
The follow procedures are recommended when servicing the 747-400 aircraft
and some later versions of the 747-300 aircraft to prevent damage to the wing
root.
A. FMC Technologies Jetway® recommends that permanent markings be

applied to the aircraft spacer to assist the operator in docking to the left
side second door. See Figure 3 for the location of these markings.
B. Approach the aircraft at a high elevation and from the left side.
C. Align the marks on the spacer to the sides of the aircraft door.
D. Bring the bridge to the aircraft a few inches high and lower it into the
correct position.
E. If the bridge is equipped with a 747 wing root switch and the bridge
comes too close to the wing root, forward, vertical down and cab rotate
motions will be disabled. Back the bridge away from the aircraft, then
approach the aircraft at a slightly higher elevation and from the left side.
F. When leaving an aircraft the bridge should be backed away from the
aircraft, raised slightly and moved to the left in order to prevent damage to
the wing root.
