It is recommended that your towbar be attached to the aircraft first, and then connected to the tug to avoid possible aircraft damage. WARNING! Tronair recommends the use of a towbar with a category 1 or category 2 tug and aircraft not exceeding 75,000 lbs gross weight. Using the towbar with aircraft weighing in excess of this specific limitation may result in excessive loads and stresses being applied to the towbar and/or the aircraft. These excessive loads may cause failure of the towbar which could cause damage (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION to the aircraft) and/or personal injury OR DEATH. TRONAIR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE AS TO SUCH MISUSE AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR INJURY, LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO SUCH MISUSE. 4.2.2 Tug Attachment CAUTION! Damage to the towbar or aircraft can result from an excessive towbar angle during towing operations. Reference Figure 1.  Use a pintle height so that the towbar is as level as possible during towing. Also, the pintle hook height should prevent contact of the towbar with the ground during towing. 4.2.3 Couplers CAUTION! Damage to the towbar or aircraft can result while towing with the following types of couplers:  Lift Head  Vertical Side Swing Latch  Standard Duty Latch  Swivel Hook The couplers listed above are known to cause binding and failure in the lunette eye. Indicators of binding are wear on outside diameter of the eyebolt and indentation on the inside diameter of the eyebolt. Reference Figure 2. Tronair recommends a telecoupler pintle hook arrangement. This arrangement is known to eliminate binding. Tronair offers a Standard Telecoupler, Model Number 01-1950-5000, for use on tugs. Reference Figure 3 Incorrect Excessive Towbar Angle Correct FIGURE 1 Model: 01-1292-0000 Portable Towbar Cessna Citation III, VI, VII, X, 560XL, 560XLS, 650, X750, Longitude 700 and Sovereign 680 07/2019 | Rev. 06 Page | 4 FIGURE 4 FIGURE 5 4.2.3 Couplers (continued) 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 (½") 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. 4.2.4 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.
