A large cargo door is located on the left-forward side of the fuselage immediately aft of the cockpit.
Page 207
AIRCRAFT OPERATING MANUAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DHC - 7 AIRPLANE SYSTEMS ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS Primary electrical power is 28 VDC. It is produced by four engine-driven starter- generators. Two 24-volt, 40-ampere-hour nicad batteries are standard equipment. External power receptacles are provided for DC power and AC variable-frequency power from a ground source.
Page 208
AIRCRAFT OPERATING MANUAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DHC - 7 FUEL SYSTEM The fuel system includes the fuel indicating, fuel storage, tank venting, fuel feed and scavenge, refueling/defueling, and transfer systems. The Dash 7 fuel system is divided into four independent feed systems. Fuel is supplied from four integral tanks (two in each wing) to the four engines by an ejector (jet) pump in each tank.
Page 209
AIRCRAFT OPERATING MANUAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DHC - 7 PNEUMATICS Engine bleed air is used for air conditioning, pressurization, and pneumatic deicing. Each engine has a low- and high-pressure bleed-air source, selection of either being made with a switch for each engine. Operation is automatic in the high-pressure mode; pressure and temperature sensors govern the pressure modulation to compensate for low power settings and high altitude.

AIRCRAFT OPERATING MANUAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DHC - 7 AP ENGAGE Switch An alternate-action AP ENGAGE switch allows manual engagement or disengagement of the autopilot system. An engage interlock ensures that the yaw damper engages automatically with autopilot engagement. YD ENGAGE Switch An alternate-action YD ENGAGE switch allows operation of the yaw damper with the autopilot engaged or disengaged.

AIRCRAFT OPERATING MANUAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DHC - 7 Autopilot Engagement and Disengagement Activation of the AP ENGAGE switch engages the autopilot and yaw damper functions simultaneously. A repeated activation of the switch disengages the autopilot function. The normal means for disengaging the autopilot is to momentarily press the A/P&Y/D DIS pushbutton to the first stage (autopilot only disconnected).
