Fuel System

To defuel the No. 1 tank, activate the No. 1 main tank fuel pumps, open the crossfeed valve, and open the manual defueling valve.
The fuel temperature indicator reads the temperature of fuel in the No. 1 tank.
The manual defueling valve is located outboard of the No. 2 engine.
Dripsticks (or floatsticks) are installed with 5 in each main tank and 2 in the center tank.
Fueling valve position lights illuminate blue when the respective fueling valve is open and fuel is being transferred into the tank.

Fire Protection Systems

Fire protection systems monitor for fire, smoke, overheat, and pneumatic duct leaks.
Fire alarms provide crew indications for fires in engines, APU, avionics compartment, and cargo compartments.
Each engine has four fire detectors.
The engine and APU fire detection module monitors for overheat and fire conditions.

Emergency Systems

Emergency lights activate when the main lighting system fails or when specific voltage parameters are met.
Taxi lights switch to off when the nose landing gear is not down and locked or after the first engine stop.

Aircraft Systems Overview

Pitot system includes Captain's, First Officer's, and Auxiliary No. 1 instruments.
Static system consists of Captain's, First Officer's, and both Auxiliary No. 1 and No. 2 instruments.
