OPERATIONS This towbar is designed to push or pull Boeing 757 aircraft equipped with an 1.50 inch diameter nose gear cross pin. The following operational instructions are only intended to familiarize the operator with the basic functions of the towbar. They are not intended to teach actual pushback procedures or techniques. RAISING AND LOWERING The towbar is equipped with a hand operated hydraulic pump/tank which supplies a flow of hydraulic oil to a single acting hydraulic cylinder. This cylinder raises or lowers the wheel carriage assembly to which the tires are attached. To raise the towbar, first make sure the fill cap on the tank is in the vent position and the small control valve located on the side of the pump is in the complete closed (clockwise) position. Actuate the pump handle until the desired elevation is achieved. To lower the unit, turn the control valve handle counter-clockwise until hydraulic oil flows back into the tank and allows the cylinder to retract. Close the valve when the towbar has reached the desired elevation. ATTACHING TO THE AIRCRAFT The towbar is equipped with a jaw type attachment head. When attached properly it will allow the aircraft to be pushed or pulled safely. To attach the towbar to the aircraft, raise or lower the towbar so that it is level to the ground and at the same height as the nose gear attachment point. Open the jaws by first removing the safety pin from the side of the head assembly. This pin is located next to the round black knob. Once the safety pin is removed, pull the black knob outward and turn the large handle 90 degrees to release the center jaw. Position the lower jaws under the nose gear cross shaft and clamp the middle jaw around the shaft by pushing back down on the large handle until it is secured around the shaft. Turn the large handle 90 degrees until the black knob moves inward indicating the "locked" position. Insert the safety pin into the side of the head, making sure that it is secure. SHEAR BOLTS The towbar is also equipped with shear bolts that are designed to shear when the design limits of the aircraft nose gear are exceeded. One set of spare shear bolts has been provided with the towbar. Operations May 19/97 Page 6

IMPORTANT!! NEVER use other bolts in place of factory supplied shear bolts - aircraft damage may result!! In the event that the shear bolts should fail during operation, carefully inspect all parts of the towbar for damage before replacing the shear bolts and returning the towbar to service. ATTACHING TO TRACTOR The towbar is equipped with a towing eye that swivels to eliminate any possible binding due to irregular terrain or camber changes in the aircraft nose gear during pushback or towing operations. To attach the towbar to the tractor, raise or lower the towbar so that it is level with the ground and at the same height as the tractor hitch point. Position the lunette eye into the hitch opening and secure the hitch pin according to the tractor manufacturer s instructions. The towbar can be safely towed on typical ramp surfaces up to 15 MPH. Exceeding this speed may result in damage to the towbar. MAINTENANCE Towbar maintenance should be done at least once every three months or sooner depending on usage. 1. Check shear bolts for wear or a partial shear and replace if necessary. Check bolts by rotating them and looking movement of the shear plates at the same time. 2. Check tires pressure and inspect for wear or damage. 3. Check the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir and maintain at the correct level. 4. Check for hydraulic leaks. 5. Check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. 6. Check the unit overall for wear or damage. 7. Grease hubs through zerk provided in hub. Operations, Cont. May 19/97 Page 7
