Make sure there is a certain angle, like this you create some
downward pressure on the tires.
Practice Is Highly Recommended: Operating your new APT7000 prior to hooking
it up to the aircraft is essential. Get familiar with the APT7000 by operating it in
forward and reverse and at different speeds.
Then try moving the aircraft in an open area.
Do not attempt to park the aircraft in a tight space until you are thoroughly
familiar with the APT7000.
Always check for clearance around the entire aircraft prior to moving the aircraft.
Wheel Bearings: Should receive light oil a few times annually.
OPERATION
The towbar units works and the principle that you need to press the wheels to
the ground by pressing the handle. Otherwise it is impossible that the APT7000
of about 30 kg (64 Lbs) can pull an aircraft of more than 1000 kg . It is
important not to proceed fast initially, the aircraft has a certain inertia, so let the
airplane move first and then increase the speed by turning the control handle.
The selector is to select forward or backwards, Left is forward, right is
backwards.
By turning the black handle, you select the speed of the unit.
Speed control , by turning the handle speed is increasing Selector forward
and backwards.
THIS HANDEL IS FIXED TO CONTROL HANDLE BY 3mm key.
The picture above shows the U-fork locking , the right beam tap is moving left and right
by using the handle at outer corner of u-fork.
Put the locking pins into the block of 80cm by 80 cm , use 2 pins, you can use the pins at
15 degree or 30 degrees position depending your aircraft nose gear position. It is
important to select the correct position for proper grip, also take your time to place the
front adapters in place to be able to lock the nose gear tire.
