OPERATION (continued)
3.2 USAGE PROCEDURE
3.2.1 Aircraft Attachment
CAUTION!
It is recommended that your towbar be attached to the aircraft first, and then connected to the tug to avoid
possible aircraft damage.

Ensure the slide block is locked in place using the detent ball plungers.
3.2.2
Tug Attachment
CAUTION!
Damage to the towbar or aircraft can result from an excessive towbar angle during towing operations.
Reference Figure 1.

Use a pintle height so that the towbar is as level as possible during towing. Also, the pintle hook height should prevent
contact of the towbar with the ground during towing.
3.2.3
Couplers
CAUTION!
Damage to the towbar or aircraft can result while towing with the following types of couplers:
•
Lift Head
•
Standard Duty Latch
•
Vertical Side Swing Latch
•
Swivel Hook
The couplers listed above are known to cause binding and failure in the towing eye. Indicators of binding are wear on outside
diameter of the eyebolt and indentation on the inside diameter of the eyebolt. Reference Figure 3.
Tronair recommends a telecoupler pintle hook arrangement. This arrangement is known to eliminate binding. Tronair offers a
Standard Telecoupler, Model Number 01-1950-5000, for use on tugs. Reference Figure 4.
