8 Short Operating Instructions AST Putting into operation / observe Operating Manual Page 7 Driving with aircraft The approval of the aircraft types which may be towed by AST is obtained in cooperation with the user of the tractors, the aircraft manufacturer and Goldhofer. Anyway, the user must observe and follow the directives of the aircraft manufacturer as given for instance in the Aircraft Facility Handbook with regard to the maximum steering angle as well as other specifications for aircraft towing. Only aircraft types with existing approval of AST may be moved by AST. (See also IMPORTANT INFORMATION ) Aircraft selection chart In case of correct aircraft selection, the PLC releases the drive. In case of incorrect aircraft selection (drive is not released), the driver must select the required aircraft and confirm. On the chart on the left side you can see the required aircraft selection of AST to tow an aircraft. Pick-up of aircraft Travel without load comes to an end after the operator has driven the AST under/in front of the aircraft nose. Before approaching the nose gear you must turn the seat to face the back and lower the loading platform to the ground. To pick-up the aircraft, the AST must be in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft (no cornering). The AST must be centered to the aircraft nose-gear, i.e. no lateral offset! To move the aircraft, the steering hydraulics of the aircraft must be de-activated. During the pick-up procedure, watch the working area carefully. Pick-up of the aircraft is only possible when the seat is turned to face the back.

9 Short Operating Instructions AST Putting into operation / observe Operating Manual Page 8 Pick-up of aircraft Worksteps 1. Turn the driver s seat to face the back 2. Lower the pick-up device - lift the white ring put the control lever 4.1 forward - pull arms are extended, swivel arms are open - pick- up device is on the ground, TDM displays platform is down - set the control lever 4.1 to NEUTRAL position 3. Select the required drive stage / aircraft and confirm - TDM displays select drive stage / aircraft - select the required drive stage with the arrow button 1, 2, 3 or 4 / aircraft S1 - AC4 - confirm the selected drive stage / aircraft with the confirmation button related to it. 4. De-activate the steering on the nose-gear of the aircraft and confirm the bypass-status on the AST. 5. Approach the nose-gear of the aircraft carefully until the aircraft tractor touches the nose-wheel. 6. Move the travel direction lever to NEUTRAL position 7. Bring the steering straight-ahead - Watch the steering position indicator The AST pulls itself with its pick-up device under the nose wheel of the aircraft. The pull arms are assisted by the drive during the pick-up of the aircraft. That is why the service and parking brake must not be actuated during the pick-up procedure. 8. Pick-up of aircraft - lift the white ring set the control lever 4.1 rearward - swivel arms close, pull arms are retracted - pick-up device is lifted to driving position - TDM signals that AST is ready for driving. The pick-up procedure is completed, when the message AST ready for driving is displayed on the TDM panel.

10 Short Operating Instructions AST Putting into operation / observe Operating Manual Page 9 Release of aircraft Worksteps: To release the aircraft, the AST must be in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft (no cornering). Before release of the aircraft, it must be secured against rolling. After release of the aircraft, the steering hydraulics of the aircraft must be activated. During release, the working area must be carefully watched. The AST pushes itself from under the aircraft: That is why the service and parking brake must not be actuated during the release procedure. 1. Turn the driver s seat to face the back 2. Set steering straight-ahead and release the brakes 3. Release of aircraft - Lift the white ring Put the control lever 4.1 forward - Pick- up device goes down, pull arms are extending - TDM displays platform is down - Set the control lever 4.1 to NEUTRAL position 4. Drive the aircraft tractor carefully forward Before lifting the pick-up device to no load driving position, drive away from the aircraft. 5. Lift the pick-up device to no load driving position - Lift the white ring Press the button in the lever (keep depressed during procedure) - Put the control lever 4.1 rearward - Swivel arms close, pull arms retract - the pick-up deviceis lifting to driving position - TDM displays AST ready to drive

11 Short Operating Instructions AST Emergency Operation / observe Operating Manual Page 10 Location, identification of controls / Emergency operation D = Normal driving position (Driving Position) E = Emergency position of controls (Emergency Release) In condition of emergency operation, the vehicle must be controlled and moved very carefully. Only after elimination of the fault, the vehicle may be operated again. Only after release of the aircraft, the AST may be towed off and operated with the emergency system for brake, emergency driving and steering. During operation of the AST with the emergency system for brake, emergency driving and steering, the AST should only be moved at walking speed. If the AST is not in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, and an emergency release must be started, the AST may be moved in these exceptional cases by means of the emergency systems brake and steering to position the AST in alignment with the aircraft. After emergency operation all controls must be re-set to normal driving position. If the drive system or the electronic control fails, but the engine is still operatable, the AST can be braked and steered.

Actuate SV08 In case of a pressure drop, build up the hydraulic pressure by re-activation of the manual / elctrical pump during emergency towing. (Reduced hydraulic pressure: vehicle is braked, pilot lamp lights if onbord voltage is existent.) If emergency steering is necessary during emergency towing of the AST, the emergency steering must be activated (see emergency steering). After emergency operation and before operating the AST again, all controls and emergency release systems (manual pump extension, etc.) must be set to driving position or cleared away, respectively.

16 Short Operating Instructions AST Emergency Operation / observe Operating Manual Page 15 Emergency Steering Only after releasing the aircraft, the AST may be towed off and operated by using the emergency systems for brake and steering. The AST may only be towed off by using a towbar. When the emergency systems for steering and/or brake are operated, the AST may only be moved at walking speed. If the drive system or the electronic control fails, but the driving engine remains operative, the AST can be steered via the steering-wheel. Should steering of the AST be necessary at a standstill, emergency steering is possible by means of remote control or handpump. Emergency steering by means of remote control is possibly only when the electric power supply of the AST is ensured. If necessary, establish external power supply. Emergency Steering by means of electric pump 1. Open the panels 2. Set dual on/off valves (ZL09 + ZL11) to E 3. Unlock switch SS10 of remote control (pull) 4.

The emergency ignition switch (SS01) may only be used to remove the a/c tractor from the danger area and to drive the tractor to the workshop. Driving with activated emergency ignition switch is only allowed without aircraft. (see also Emergency drive)

18 Short Operating Instructions AST Emergency Operation / observe Operating Manual Page 17 Emergency driving / emergency drive system Only after release of the aircraft, you are allowed to emergency tow off the AST and to operate it by the emergency systems for emergency driving, brake system and/or steering. During the operation of the AST with the emergency systems for emergency driving, brake system and/or steering, the AST should only be moved at walking speed. During the emergency driving, the AST must be controlled and moved very carefully. In condition of emergency operation you must carefully watch the working area. While driving with the emergency drive system, you must be very careful. Do not neglect to observe the following: 1. If the seat is turned to face the front, the AST will move in the direction as set by the travel direction lever, i.e: - Travel direction lever set to FORWARD = the AST will drive forward - Travel direction lever is set to REVERSE = the AST will reverse 2. CAUTION! If the seat is turned to face the back, the AST will drive in direction opposite to the direction as set by the travel direction lever, i.e.: - Travel direction lever is set to FORWARD = the AST will reverse - Travel direction lever is set to REVERSE = the AST will drive forward. 3. Reversing the travel direction lever will start up the AST. 4. To brake/stop the AST, the travel direction lever must be set to NEUTRAL and the brake pedal actuated. To brake/stop the AST, the travel direction lever must be set to NEUTRAL and the brake pedal actuated Worksteps see next page.
