Loading Your Plane
Double-check your attachments to
make sure they are correctly attached,
and the setup steps followed.
1. Chock aircraft mains. Position tug
with nose wheel centered on the
ramp. Until you are comfortable
with the tug's operation, turn the
tug off for the safest loading.
2. Put the winch in neutral/reverse
and pull enough slack in the strap
to attach QLF for wheel pant
planes or axle strap for retractable
gear aircraft.
3. Before you begin winching, flip
the switch (FIG 13) on the B5
winch to the forward position
(counter-clockwise (FIG 14) for B8
and B12-18) and winch the plane
onto tug's loading tray.

Note: If you are comfort-
able with your throttle,
you can choose to winch
the plane onto the tug
while very slowly driving
the tug forward, which
makes winching easier.
Keep wheels chocked if
you decide to use this
method.
