For Hydraulic issue, the RAT must be deployed manually. No auto extension.
Sorry, I wasn't clear - I know the RAT is basic (as it is on everything Boeing currently builds except the 737 - which can be flown without any hydraulics if you need to).
I was specifically asking about the hydraulic generator.
