Narrative:
Per task card step 4 first note 'engine driven pumps may be used as an alternate power source in lieu of hydraulic ground power cart'. The starting and running of #2 engine on aircraft X was my only involvement with this task card. I was not present on the ground outside the aircraft when damage to the ram air turbine occurred. I was in the cockpit.
