1-2-OPERATION

1-2-1-PRE- START

Check vehicle as described on daily check schedule on maintenance manual.

������ �- Always pay special attention to red warning lights signals and beeper on the instrument panel. - If problems or equipment malfunctions occurred while operating, it must be properly shut down and the problem corrected. - Continuing to use malfunctioning equipment can not be safe for the operator and other personnel, but can lead to further damage to the vehicle as well.

1-2-2-ACCESS AND USECab is designed to be used by only two persons, the driver and the passenger.

Adjust the seat, mirrors, width of the seat to increase user comfort and security.

1-2-3- START ELECTRIC AND ENGINE� Check that battery isolation switch is turned to ‘ON’ position

� Check that emergency stop button is not pressed � Check that park brake is applied � Insert ignition key into the ignition switch � Rotate key to the left to start engine. � Release the key when the engine is running.

CAUTION: NEVER TRY TO ADJUST SEAT WHEN DRIVING

1-2-4-DRIVE

�����������

Select the way of motion by pushing the shift lever to the required position (« R » to reverse or « D,1,2,3 » for forward). Push on service brake and smoothly release to validate selection. Smoothly accelerate to reach speed. In position « D » the shift change is automatic and must be only use to move without aircraft. Shift between rear and front direction must be only effectuated when the tractor is stopped.

It’s possible to force a shift by placing shift selector on position 1, 2 or 3. These positions must be used to pushback aircrafts.

The “N” is the neutral position : park brake is not applied and no gear shift is engaged. The “P” position applies the park brake, and shift the gear to neutral in case of hydraulic park brake system. This position doesn’t exist with mechanic park brake (park brake lever).

NOTE: TO AVOID SHOCK DURING OPERATION, NEVER CHANGE SELECTED GEAR WHEN DRIVING

��� ���������

After ignition, the display show: 1- Before do anything

« GP » (Gear Position) to show the engaged gear (default) with

• f for forward

• r for reverse

• n for neutral

• and 1 ; 2 ; 3 or 4 for engaged gear

« Sd » or « LH » indicate a degraded mode after fault .

2- By pushing 1ère time on « m » button � « SP » vehicle speed is shown in km/h.

3- By pushing 2ème times on « m » button � « Sr » vehicle speed is show in miles per hour. For more explanation on use of « m » button, refer to maintenance manual.

- Stop accessories - Apply park brake - Rotate ignition key to the left.

- Never uncouple the aircraft if tractor park brake is not applied or the wheels are not secured with wheel chocks.

�� ����� ������������� ������ �!Parking brake is located on front axle, operated by cable.

� Apply parking brake as soon as tractor has stopped by pulling up lever. � Parking brake light should light. � Before moving release the park brake. � Parking brake light should go off.

Note: Parking brake force can be adjusted by rotating the handle of park brake lever.

��� ������� �� ��� ����!

Hydraulic park brake can be applied by placing shift selector to the position « P ».

WARNING IN THE EVENT OF AN ELECTRIC SHUT DOWN OR WHEN AN ELECTRIC INTERRUPT OCCURS, THE

HYDRAULIC HITCH PIN WILL DESCENT AUTOMATICALLY. THIS MAY CAUSE INJURY IF OPERATOR PLACED HIS HAND IN THE SLOT BETWEEN THE PIN FLANGES. A PINCH POINT

����� ��������� ����!To engage the differential lock, use the dedicated push button, at the left of dashboard

WARNING: THE PURPOSE OF DIFFERENTIAL LOCK IS TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM TRACTION AND CONTROL ON

UNFAVORABLE ROAD OR OFF-HIGHWAY SURFACES OR UNEVEN TERRAIN. DUE TO THE POSSIBLE EFFECT ON HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK IS ENGAGED, IT SHOULD ONLY BE APPLIED FOR VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND FOR TRAVELLING AT LOW SPEED (5 KPH OR LESS) ONLY.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. The Differential Lock can be locked or unlocked if the vehicle is standing still or moving at a constant low speed when the wheels are not spinning, slipping or loosing traction.

2. When the Differential Lock is locked, operate the vehicle at low speeds, under 5 km/h.

3. When the Differential Lock is locked, the vehicle’s turning radius will increase. This condition is called “under-steer”. The driver must use caution, good judgement and drive at low speeds when operating the vehicle with the Differential Lock locked.

4. Always unlock the Differential Lock as soon as the need for maximum traction has passed and the vehicle is travelling on a good road or highway. Axle performance will then be optimized and tire wear minimized.

5. DO NOT lock the Differential Lock when the wheels are slipping or loosing traction, or damage to the axle can result.

6. DO NOT lock the Differential Lock when the vehicle is travelling down steep grades.

The centralized greasing system is fully and completely autonomous and automated.

When greasing period is reached, the pump supplies all the greasing points with grease.

To adjust period and delay, you can use the “control button” and display located directly on pump. Display also shows system errors.

Dashboard indicator can be used to indicate normal working of the centralised greasing if mechanical indicator is mounted or can be used to indicate over-pressure fault if switch (electric indicator) is mounted on greasing system. Over-pressure fault is ON when the grease pipe/hose in clogged.

PRINCIPLEThe Slow Approach (slow motion) allow to approach the tractor and it hitch to the aircraft towbar, fitted on the aircraft nose landing gear, outer from the tractor cab (with a better view).

OPERATION- Put the park brake with shift selector on “P” position. - Activate this function by switching the corresponding knob from the cab

- Now you can use the external command to move forward or backward the tractor and approach the tractor hitch to the towbar.

- Motion is with impulse, it’s necessary to push each time on button to initiate the motion. Wait ½ second between each impulse. The amount of displacement is only some centimetres (~ 2 cms).

DANGER: FOR OPERATOR SAFETY, THE BACK CONTROL MUST ALWAYS BE USE ON FLAT GROUND ONLY!!!!
