STEP 5:
Slowly drive the tug forward under the skids. As you drive under the skids the front
of the helicopter will raise up and the tail will lower down. Verify the air bag is positioned un-
der the tail properly to prevent the tail from hitting the ground. Then proceed with loading.
STEP 6:
While loading the helicopter the front of the skids will be raised above the back-end
cradles and eventually drop down as you proceed forward. The drop can be easily controlled
by holding the tail at the critical drop point and easing the skids down slowly. Make sure the
fronts of the skids are centered in the Back-End cradles of the tug.
*WARNING*
DO NOT LET THE BACK OF THE SKIDS GO PAST THE MIDDLE ROLLER ON EI-
THER SIDE OF THE TUG.
