4. Operation and use
4.1 Remote control
The radio remote control of the aircraft towing vehicle is used to transmit any movement com-
mands and other functions to the aircraft tug. Country-specic security radio is used.
The direction of travel (forward / backward & left / right) is determined via two joysticks. Both
can be operated independently of each other. The lower part of the radio remote control con-
tains all additional functions. A display, which can be found between the two joysticks, informs
the operator at any time about the status of the aircraft tow tug (i.e. battery & equipment errors
etc).
Centrally accessible is an red emergency switch. This immediately interrupts the radio connec-
tion and thus the aircraft tug is immediately decelerated to maximum standstill with maximum
braking power.
When the EMERGENCY OFF button is pressed while driving, the aircraft tug is
decelerated to a standstill with maximum braking power. There is an increased
risk of accidents and injuries. If the EMERGENCY OFF is pressed, the error code
1-11 will appear on the display of the remote control.
• Do not use the EMERGENCY OFF switch as a service brake.
• Only use the EMERGENCY OFF button while driving in case
of danger.
When starting the aircraft tug rst, all switching elements on the remote control
must be in the default position. If this is not the case the unit can not be unlocked
via the button on the remote control and the aircraft tug is not ready for
operation.
A list of the error codes can be found on page 53 (chapter 10.1).
When starting the unit, a code is displayed on the MDI. This is not an error code,
but the current software version.
