Normal using period

1. Before operating the TDER airport tow tractor every day, check whether the level of water, the engine lubricating oil, fuel oil, electrolytic liquid and other kinds of oil is normal, whether the tire pressure is normal, whether the steering wheel, the brake pedal, various lamps, instrument, speaker are normal, whether the fasteners are loose.

2.Place the shift lever in the neutral position, insert the key into the ignition lock, switch the key to the "on" position for preheating in a clockwise direction, then switch to the "start" position for starting the engine The time of starting circuit should not more than five seconds, and the second start should be after ten seconds. When the start is not successful for several times, check whether the fuel supplying system and ignition system are faulty, and star after clearing up the fault. The ignition switch of the airport tow tractor has the function of "anti - restart".

3.At the begining of driving, test to ensure that the performance of foot brake and parking brake is good and reliable.

4.Driving at high gear with no load is allowable and it’s only allowed to drive at low gear with full load. Drive at low gear when uphill, while downhill it’s not allowed to access neutral gear and cut the ignition circuit.

5.Unless an emergency, stepping on the brake pedal should not be too sharp to avoid wear of tires .

6.While driving the airport tow tractor, pay attention to listening whether there is abnormal sound. If necessary, stop to check and clear up.

7.Not used for a long time, release the cooling water and fuel, fill with lubricating oil, protect the exposed parts against rust, store battery after fully charged, then check the engine regularly. In addition, hold up counterweight by a jack to prevent rear tires deformation.
