The A-300 flight manual says there's no provision for jettisoning (dumping) fuel. What page?

Sorry I couldn't get back to you right away. Had to run an errand. The A-300 flight manual, Chapter 8, Section 12 (Fuel System), Page 1 (General/Description) says there is no provision for fuel jettison. That would be due to the fact that the maximum landing gross weight of the aircraft is the same as the maximum takeoff gross weight, thereby not requiring the pilots to reduce the aircraft gross weight before landing. This is not from the American Airlines flight manual; however, I'm reasonably confident the systems are exactly the same between different carriers operating the A-300-600.
