Towbar Usage Instructions

USAGE PROCEDURE
Aircraft Attachment:
It is recommended that your towbar be attached to the aircraft first, and then connected to the tug to avoid possible aircraft
damage.
Ensure sliding pins are locked in place before towing aircraft.
Tug Attachment:
Damage to the towbar or aircraft can result from an excessive towbar angle during towing operations (Reference to Figure 3 ).
If aircraft with both high and low tow points are encountered, consider using two pintle hooks, as shown in Figures 4 & 5 , so
that the towbar is as level as possible during towing. Also pintle hook height should prevent contact of towbar wheels with the
ground, during towing. (Reference
Figure 5 ).
Type Of Coupler:
Damage to the towbar or aircraft can result while towing with the following type of couplers:
- Lift Head - Vertical Side Swing Latch
- Standard Duty Latch - Swivel Hook
These types of couplers are known to cause binding and failure in the eyebolt. Indicators of eyebolt binding are wear on the
outside diameter of the eye and indentations on the inside diameter. The failure will begin at the head of the eye. See
Figure
6 .
