2. Fuel control switch • MANUAL
3. Slowly advance throttle to desired setting.

THROTTLE LINKAGE FAILURE

1. Do not manipulate throttle.

2. Determine thrust available; be alert for slow rpm decay.
3. Fly PA or STA, maintain 180 KIAS minimum.

LOW ALTITUDE AIRSTART

1. Commence zoom climb.

2. Retard throttle.
3. Switch fuel control to MANUAl.
4. Extend emergency generator.
If thrust is not regained immediately, proceed as follows:
5. Throttle to IGN, then to IDLE.
6. Cautiously advance throttle and ascertain restoration of
thrust.
7. If engine fails to respond adequately and peak altitude at
zoom apex is less than 5000 feet, EJECT. If time and
altitude permit, establish 250·KIAS glide and commence
AI RST ART procedures.

GENERAL
Whenever any landing gear is damaged or not down and locked. but all gear can still be
retracted, retract the gear and divert ashore if feasible. Retain and land on empty tankl
tanks, empty rocket packs, or other light weight inert stores, with exception of the air
refueling store. Jettison the drop tanks, if they cannot be emptied. Prior to landing with
any of the above malfunctions, burn down to 600 pounds or less fuel remaining to ensure
that the wing fuel is expended and the fire hazard minimized. LSD control is advisable
on any normal approach.
NOTES:
1. Crossdeck pendant configuration shall be per current recovery bulletins.
2. If lime considerations preclude removal of crossdeck pendants, land with hook up to
prevent severe nosedown rotation, should arrestment occur prior to barricade engage·
ment.
3. Ensure crossdeck pend.~ts are removed from runway. Make flat approach at normal
approach speed. Touch down lightly, with low sink rate. If 10 knots or more of cross·
wind component exists It may be desirable to use arresting gear where available.
4. Alternate method: Use arresting gear. Wave off if wire is missed.
5. Make short field arrestment from flat approach at normal approach speed. Trim full
NOSEUP approaching touchdown. At touchdown, do not retard throttle. Hold nose up
until arrestment. Wave off if wires are missed.
6. An alternative to ejection for this condition is to land in approach similar to that in
Note 5, except slightly fast and with touchdown point Immediately prior to arresting
gear. Grease this one on holding win~s level with lateral stick as long as possible.
An lSO is probably a necessity for thIS situation unless gear location is prominently
marked.
7. Make flat approach al normal approach speed. Trim fuJi NOSEUP approaching touch·
down. At touchdown, secure engine. Lower nose slowly before elevator effectiveness
is lost.
8. Ejection mandatory without two drop tanks Installed.

Malfunctions
1. Hose Jettison
a. Move hose jettison switch to JETTISON position.
b. Do not change position of hose jettison switch after
jettisoning hose and drogue.
2. Drogue and Coupling Lost
a. Move drogue position switch to RET.
b. Extend EMERGENCY GENERATOR.
c. Refueling Master switch OFF.
d. Select generator BYPASS and regain main generator.
Note
The store may be dumped. Do not move Refueling
Master switch to ON.
The above procedure is recommended to reduce the fire
hazard created by actuation of hose jettison. A secondary
procedure is as follows:
a. Move drogue position switch to RET.
b. Operate hose jettison switch to JETTISON and leave
in this position until after engine shutdown.
3. Store Hydraulic/Electrical Failure
a. Ashore: Jettison hose and drogue only if dictated by
other factors; i.e., arrested landing, etc.
b. Carrier: Jettison hose and drogue, if possible.
c. Dump or return fuel to aircraft tanks.

GENERAL
This section describes the minimum servicing information
the pilot should know. The TA-4F/TA-4J Maintenance
Instruction Manual (NAVAIR OI.40AVD.2.1) contains the
:omplete description of all servicing procedures (See fig-
ure 1).
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICING
The aircraft may be serviced by either the pressure fueling
method or the gravity fueling method. The pressure fueling-
dcfueling receptacle valve permits single-point pressure fuel-
ing (or defueling) of the aircraft. Individual filler parts
are provided for gravity fueling the aircraft.
fUEL CONTROL FUEL SELECTOR
The fuel grade selector on the engine fuel control should
199 correspond to the grade of fuel being used. After JP-4 is in-
troduced into the fuel system of the engine, the specific grav·
240 ity switch on the fuel control will be set to JP.4. The setting
105 will not be returned to JP·5 until after the first flight during
which JP·5 has been used. When using a combined fuel load
223 of JP-4 and JP-5 on the JP-4 setting, the pilot must monitor
99
EGT to ensure that full throttle operation remains within
the prescribed Umits. Use the JP-5 setting on the control when
using lP-8 fuel.
I
87
ADJUSTMENT (See figure 2.)
Open the left·hand engine access door and observe the fuel
selector adjustment valve located on the upper aft end of
the fuel control. If the valve setting does not correspond to
25 grade of fuel being added, adjust fuel control fuel selector as
follows:
5 1. Remove retaining nut that secures locking bracket to
retaining stud on housing.
2. Remove locking bracket from stud.
3. Invert locking bracket and insert over hexagon shaft.
4. Using locking bracket as a wrench, rotate hexagon shaft
until pointer on outside of valve is aligned with index
for grade of fuel being added.
5. Replace locking bracket over hexagon shaft so that
slotted end fits over retaining stud on housing.
6. Secure bracket to retaining stud with washer and nut.
7. Close left·hand engine access door.

PRESSURE FUELING
The preferred pressure fueling method requires the use of
external ac power. This method will be used at all times when
external ac power is available. If external ac power is nOl
available, the alternate pressure fueling method will be used.
When the alternate pressure fueling method is used, the ex-
ternal fuel tanks must be gravity fueled.

CONSTANT ~SPEED DRIVE (CSD) SERVICING
The constant.speed drive (figure 10) is located on the for-
ward end of the engine. The CSD is mounted on an adapter
bolted to the engine pad and secured by a V·band coupling.
The drive unit and components should be inspected daily.
Access to the CSD is through the engine forward compart-
ment lower right. hand access door and the CSD outer and
inner access doors. Servicing consists of inspecting for fluid
level and adding fluid.
DAILY INSPECTION
The following inspection should be made daily:
1. Open engine forward compartment right. hand access
door and CSD outer and inner access doors.

Servicing the rain repellent system consists of removal and.
replacement of the fluid container with a filled and charged
container. A visual inspection of the system gage must be
made during postflight inspection. If the gage indicates
half full or less, the container should be replaced. Visual
access to the system gage is through the APX·64 (V) coder
