5.8 Turntable motor
The turntable motor enables active control of the turntable. The remote control oers three
dierent control variants, which are described in the following section.
Disengaged motor
A rotary switch on the back of the turntable motor allows it to be disengaged. The turntable
moves freely and the nose wheel adjusts itself automatically and mechanically in the direction
of travel of the tug. At this point, there is no more control of the turntable motor via the remote
control.
Counter Control (2)
In this control mode, the turntable is controlled in the opposite direction to the aircraft tug and
enables the user to swivel the tug 360° around the nosegear. This mode is only active at stand-
still.
Mode Selection
Turning Direction
ATTENTION! In this control modes, the maximum deection angle of the nose
wheel must be taken into account. This is aircraft-specic and must be moni-
tored by the operator! Failure to comply may result in damage to the aircraft.

Manual Control (3)
This control mode is used to manually adjust the turntable when standing, without any move-
ment of the aircraft tug. If this mode is active, the turntable turns left or right via the directional
joystick. Simultaneous towing is not possible in this mode.
