If gear failure is not due to loss of hydraulic pressure and gear will not cycle as selected,
check hydraulic pressure and repeat selection of up/down position. Pressure should be
more than 800psi. If unsuccessful in raising gear return for landing after carrying out the
following actions. Also if gear will not lower, then:
Refer to diagram.
1 Leave gear selected "DOWN"

1 Unlock the nose wheel doors by pulling the door lock handle
(located on the Stb side forward ofbuikbead No 1) up and back,
thus retracting the nose door lock pins.
2 Insert the emergency lever 1 handle in the aft end of the Stb nose
gear door torque tube (aft end of No 2 bulkhead) and push inwards
(anti clockwise), rotating the torque tube to open the nose wheel
doors.

locking link inboard over the lug on the torque tube fitting. Insert
locking pin and safety clip.
4 Remove the tape cover from central nose wheel bay hole. Insert the
emergency lever into the hole and sthke the end of the up lock
sharply, to unlock the nose wheel, The wheel should fail under it's
own weight.
5 Attach the emergency lever to the torque tube between the packing
unit and the jack fitting so that the ratchet pawl fits into the teeth.
Using the lever as a ratchet, force the gear into the down position.
To lock the gear use a slow heavy push. This may require leg force
to give sufficient leverage.
6 Examine the downiock through the forward nose wheel bay access
hole. Use the lever as a measure to determine if the down lock is
engaged. If it is, the band on the lever will be just below the floor
level of the nose wheel bay.
