DRIVING THE TRACTOR
To drive the tractor:
1. Perform the startup procedure described in
.
2. If the tractor is equipped with dual operator stations, then move the Driver Select Toggle
Switch on the Center Console toward the station from which you will be driving.
> Station A is on the left side and faces the front of the tractor. Use this station when towing
an aircraft over short distances, such as during pushback.
> Station B is on the right side and faces the rear of the tractor. Use this station when not
towing an aircraft, or when towing an aircraft over a longer distance, such as from the
ramp to a hangar.
3. Push the Parking Brake Knob in to release the Parking Brake, and then verify that the red
Brake Pressure Warning Light is OFF.
4. Turn on lights as required for safety based on the time of day, weather conditions, and
airport policy. In general, running and parking lights draw little power and may be left on
when driving or when parked in a congested area. Headlights and strobes draw more power
and should only be turned on when needed.
5. Move the Direction Selector to NEUTRAL, and then move it in the direction that you want to
drive.
> Pushing the lever toward the front of the vehicle selects FORWARD.
> Centering the lever selects NEUTRAL.
> Pulling the lever toward the rear of the vehicle selects REVERSE.
WARNING
ALWAYS VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE SELECTED THE CORRECT DIRECTION
REGARDLESS OF THE OPERATOR STATION YOU ARE USING OR THE
DIRECTION YOU ARE FACING. SELECTING THE WRONG DIRECTION COULD
CAUSE A COLLISION RESULTING IN DEATH, INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY.
Note
The FORWARD and REVERSE directions are relative to the front of the vehicle, and
not to the operator station or the direction the operator is facing. In general, move the
Direction Selector toward where you want to go.
