4.8 Aircraft tug charger
A charger is integrated to charge the aircraft tug. This is located in the front storage compart-
ment (see 3.2 Assemblies and functions, page 16). The supply voltage of the charger is over
100-240 VAC.
To start the charging process, the supply cable, which is located in the front storage compart-
ment, is plugged into an appropriate power supply. Make sure the main key switch of the tug is
turned to OFF and BOTH eStops are pulled.
Always make sure the red marked locking pin
is locked in correctly to it´s nal position, after
closing the turntable gate.
WARNING! When charging, the batteries emit a mixture of oxygen and
hydrogen (oxyhydrogen gas). Gassing is a chemical process. This gas
mixture is highly explosive and must not be ignited.
• Check cable and plug for visible damage before charging.
• Ventilate the room where the aircraft tractor is charging suciently.
• There must be no combustible materials within a distance of at least 2 meters
of the aircraft tractor parked for charging (unless it has a special certication).
• Always follow the safety regulations.

ATTENTION! If the tug is not being used, make sure that the key switch is tur-
ned to the OFF position. Otherwise there is a risk that the batteries will be fully
discharged and thus irreparably damaged.
Note: the TF5 has an intelligent charger. The manufacturer recommends char-
ging the tug suciently and regularly. It can easily remain connected to the
charger for several days, without damaging the batteries.
