SHORT & SWEET PLEASE READ
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Supertow
.
As you already know, it’s a unique machine.
So let’s familiarize you with your new toy!
What’s where…?
Let’s start by standing at the rear of your tow.
On the handle, above the throttle are two lever handles.
Transmission lever
The transmission shift lever is on the right of the handle. Rocking your tow gently,
push this lever forward to its stop
. A lot of force will not be required
. Now ease the
lever back one click for neutral, allowing unit to freewheel, when not running. The
transmission has one speed forward and five reverse speeds.
Loading Gate lever
The lever on the left side releases the loading gate, of the “Lazy Susan Cradle” from
its locked position, when pulled back. After releasing gate, return lever back to its
original position away from you. This simple move applies to loading and
unloading.
Fingertip position is
Brake
lever on right side and
Clutch
& Go
lever at left.
Ready to roll…!
Time to take the Supertow out for a solo, without your aircraft! It’s very important
to make sure the controls are all working correctly before you hook your beautiful
bird up to it …
Yes a few touch and go’s...
Engine
– Don’t forget the oil for the engine, it will take approximately ¾ of quart. A
splash of 100LL, no more throwing the test gas on the tarmac and we’re ready to start
up the unit. Place the throttle control in the choke or start position, push primer 3 to
4 times (if supplied), and start the engine. Move control to run position at about
medium speed. After some use you’ll know how much power is required for your
particular job. Greatest torque is developed at two-thirds throttle setting.
Out in the open, run the unit checking out all the handle controls.
The clutch
operation is very important.
When you release the clutch handle, the drive belt
should disengage completely, and there should be no creeping of machine. (If there
is, refer back to set-up instructions). This acts as a safety. This unit also has a brake.
