5.5 Preparing the nose Wheel mount for capturing
In order to pick up the aircraft, the mechanical ramp of the nose wheel mount must be
brought into position. To lower the ramp, pull the lever at the rear of the mount (see picture).
5.6 Capturing an Aircraft
While picking up the aircraft with the aircraft tug, the aircraft must be secured either by
chocks or the brakes of the aircraft. Depending on the type of aircraft, it can be picked up
from the front or from the back.
Before capturing, make sure that the aircraft tug is in slow
operating mode (turtle) and that the turntable is secured
with the safety bolt.
ATTENTION! When preparing the nose wheel mount there is hazard of crushing!
Fix the turntable before picking up the aircraft
Pull the handle at the rear to lower the ramp
Note: For a safe operation with an airplane or helicopter, we recommend to x
the turntable with the provided safety bolt before the starting with the pick-up
procedure.
ATTENTION! If the aircraft tug is not in slow mode,
there is a risk of causing damage to the nose wheel.
ATTENTION! Always make sure that no components such as aps, sensors or an-
tennas are in the way during the capturing process, otherwise irreparable da-
mages may occur.
