L.9.2 Begin pumping on dewar through bayonet by opening SV9. L.9.3 Shut off power supply to thruster drive electronics. L.9.4 Open JV8. L.9.5 When pressure (as indicated by JP3) drops below 1 x 10-2 torr, open JV6. L.9.6 Close valve to pump module. Shut down pump module. L.10 Full Shutdown Procedure: L.10.1 Close RAVs 4A and 4B: Page 21 of 28

Page 22 of 28 L.10.1.1 Verify that controller Nos. 4A and 4B already powered up and that RAV selection switch is already set to RAVs 4A and 4B. L.10.1.2 Record initial 4A switch status: Open: θ θ Closed: θ θ L.10.1.3 Record initial 4B switch status: Open: θ θ Closed: θ θ L.10.1.4 Activate controller for Nos.4A and 4B and record: a) 4A run time: seconds 4B run time: seconds b) current draw: amp c) time of day: L.10.1.5 Record final 4A switch status: Open: θ θ Closed: θ θ L.10.1.6 Record final 4B switch status: Open: θ θ Closed: θ θ L.10.1.7 Record operation in RAV log book. L.10.2 Deactivate RAV system: L.10.2.1 Turn all RAV selection switches to OFF. L.10.2.2 Power off all controllers. L.10.2.3 Turn off RAV power supply. L.10.3 Begin pumping on dewar through bayonet by opening SV9. L.10.4 Open JV8. L.10.5 When pressure (as indicated by JP3) drops below 1 x 10-3 torr, open JV6. L.10.6 Open JV2 and JV5. ENSURE JV2 IS FULLY OPEN. L.10.7 Hookup helium supply to JV9 and begin flowing gas. L.10.8 Close valve to pump module. Shut down pump module. Page 22 of 28
