Couplers (continued)
Damage to the towbar and/or aircraft can result by towing or pushing an aircraft with an incorrect size eyebolt or pintle pin. A
correct size eyebolt will make contact with the pintle pin. A gap between the eyebolt outside diameter and the coupler face
plate should be easily seen. An eyebolt which is too large will cause the eyebolt to make contact with the face plate of the
coupler. When the eyebolt is too large for the coupler, a gap between the inside diameter of the eyebolt and the coupler face
plate will be seen. Reference Figure 5.
To ensure proper towing and pushing, check to make sure the pintle pin diameter is not too long for the eyebolt's inside
diameter. An approximate one-half inch (1/2") gap between the pin diameter and the
eyebolt should be seen. If any of these conditions are not met, please contact Tronair
for information to obtain a new coupler.
3.2.4
Towing Operation
Damage to the towbar or aircraft can result from pushing an aircraft while maintaining too sharp of an angle between the tug
and the aircraft. Contact between the towbar weldment and the tug must be avoided. It is recommended that the angle
between the tug and towbar not exceed 90º. Reference Figure 6.
