TowFlexx TF3 - Release the Aircraft; Releasing the Magnetic Brakes

38
5.10 Releasing the magnetic Brakes
To prevent further movement or rolling away in the event of a transmission failure or other
faults on the aircraft tug, the magnetic brake is automatically engaged as soon as there is no
control signal given. In the event of a system failure, the brakes can be released manually.
Before applying this emergency procedure, the aircraft tug and the towed aircraft/helicop-
ter should be adequately secured.
CAUTION! Insucient or missing securing may result in unwanted movements
of the aircraft tug and the aircraft!
1. secure tug and aircraft adequately!
2. switch o the aircraft tug by pressing the two battery disconnect switches.
3. pull the marked levers on the motors to release the magnetic brakes. These levers should
be xed to start the transport.
WARNING! There is electric current owing. This process requires special care.
Not observing can lead to personal injury and damage to property!
ATTENTION: If the tug has to be repositioned in an emergency, the TowFLEXX
TF3 must not be towed or pulled without following the procedure for releasing
the magnetic brakes. Alternatively, the tug MUST be repositioned by an suitable
forklift truck and forklift operator! Failure to do so may result in damage to the
equipment.
