(7) Obey the local regulations for grounding (earthing) the aircraft.
If you must ground (earth) the aircraft:
(a) Ground (earth) the fuel tanker and the aircraft correctly (Ref. AMM 24-00-00, P. Block 301 ) .

NOTE: You must bond the fuel tanker to the aircraft. Obey local regulations for grounding (earth-
ing).

(b) Bond the fuel tanker to the aircraft (Ref. AMM 24-00-00, P. Block 301 ) .
(c) Before removing the refuel/defuel coupling cap(s), insert the hose bonding cable pin(s) into the
grounding (earthing) point(s) near the coupling(s).

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE FUEL SUPPLY HOSE IS CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE
COUPLING BEFORE YOU REFUEL/DEFUEL THE AIRCRAFT. DO NOT CONNECT THE
FUEL SUPPLY HOSE IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT COUP-
LING LUGS OR SLOTS.

CAUTION: ON AIRCRAFT WITH REFUEL/DEFUEL COUPLINGS ON EACH WING, A MAXIMUM

OF TWO HOSES MAY BE CONNECTED AT ANY ONE TIME.

(8) Remove the aircraft refuel/defuel coupling cap(s). The cap(s) remain suspended by chains.

kg (11023 lb), use the MLI's in the inner tanks to check the fuel quantity in each inner tank
again (Ref. Para. 10.):
- if the difference in the fuel quantity between the FUEL QTY indicator and the MLI's is less
than 1000 kg (2205 lb) in each inner tank, then continue with the refueling procedure
- if the difference in the fuel quantity between the FUEL QTY indicator and the MLI's is
