4-2. Operating the Tug

Before turning on the tugs, make sure the tracks and bottom of the tugs are free from 
obstruction.
Turn the tugs on using the ON/OFF switch.  There will be a short series of beeps and then 
the ON/OFF switch will illuminate red to show the tug is on.  The ON/OFF switch light will 
be on solid when the battery is fully charged.  When the battery is low the ON/OFF switch 
light will blink and there will also be a beeping sound.

ON/OFF Switch

1.  Turn on the power switch on the radio controller. The power indicator LED will illumi-

nate green/blue in color. It is recommended that you practice maneuvering the tug 

It is recommended that you practice maneuvering the tug 

prior to loading the plane.

prior to loading the plane.

2.  It is recommended to use the radio in fast speed mode. Moderate and Slow speed  

mode should be used when maneuvering in tight quarters as it reduces the tugs 
power output

3.  When towing your helicopter ALWAYS be cautious of your surroundings in regards to 

both the main rotor blades and tail rotor. Do not make any fast turns with the tug.
