PAGE 4 CHANGE 17 JUL 1/06

15. Ensure towing route has been reviewed with towing team members and is clear of obstructions and foreign objects.

CAUTION

Do not tow aircraft up slopes exceeding five degrees.

16. Immediately before towing an aircraft on or across an active taxiway or runway, the towing team supervisor will obtain clearance from the control tower.

17. If aircraft is to be towed into or out of a hangar, ensure hangar doors are opened a minimum of ten feet, or maximum safe clearance on wing tips.

CAUTION

APU must be shut down prior to aircraft being towed into hangar.

18. When tail and wing walkers are not required, the tow supervisor may ride in the cab or in the seat beside the tow vehicle operator where the supervisor can observe the path to be traversed and direct the actions of the cockpit brake person and the vehicle operator provided communications between the brake person and vehicle operator can be maintained.

E. TOWING PROCEDURES: These procedures must be accomplished step by step.

1. Towing supervisor - check AFTO 781 series forms to determine if aircraft is suitable for towing.

CAUTION

Towing aircraft with nose gear strut extension greater than nine inches could damage centering mechanism.

2. Visually check for landing gear strut extension.

CAUTION

If upper link is not held in up position, ground sensing circuit could shift from ground to flight mode with possible auto extension of slats.

3. If turns greater than 68 degrees are anticipated, disconnect the nose gear torque links, making sure that the upper link is attached to the springs and held in the up position.

WARNING

If the automatic slat extend system circuit breakers are closed, and if the nose landing gear upper torque link is inadvertently moved to down position (ground sensing circuit in the fight mode) there is a possibility that the stall warning system could extend the slats causing injury or death to personnel or structural damage to aircraft.

(a) If nose gear torque links are disconnected, open and tag the following circuit breakers:

CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL LOCATION PANEL AREA

Auto slat extend Lower Main AC BUS 3 power Auto slat extend Lower Main DC BUS 3 control

WARNING

Tag and safety circuit breakers anytime exiting cockpit circuit breakers area before task completion or there is a delay in maintenance where task cannot be fully accomplished. Failure to comply may cause injury to personnel or damage to aircraft.

WARNING

Failure to place steering bypass valve into the bypass position and install lockpin may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment

4. Landing gear downlocks, and nose gear steer-ing bypass valve pin - Installed.

NOTE

Main and center landing gear down lock pins need not be installed during short pushbacks on park and receive with flight crew on board and hydraulic system 3 pressurized.

PAGE 6 CHANGE 18 JAN 15/08

5. With electrical and hydraulic power applied to the aircraft (APU/GPU electrical power), the towing supervisor in conjunction with the brake operator will ensure the following actions are accomplished:

(a) Pressurize Hydraulic Systems 1 and 3.

Ensure proper pressure on brake system 1 and 2 gauges.

(b) Check fuel gages for even distribution of fuel and aircraft center of gravity is within safe ground handling limits.

(c) Cargo door closed/locked.

CAUTION

With the anti-skid switch in the ARM position, and if the nose landing gear upper torque link is inadvertently moved to the down position, (ground sensing circuit in the flight mode) there is a possibility that hydraulic pressure could be relieved to return when brakes are applied rather than operating aircraft brakes.

RESTRICTIVE LEGEND ON TITLE PAGE OR FIRST PAGE.

(e) Anti-skid switch - OFF.

(f) Verify that brake operator can reach the brake pedals.

(g) Parking brakes - Set.

(h) Arm forward entry door.

(i) Ensure boom is fully retracted and not below horizontal position and secured with short support cable. Tailcone door must be closed.

6. Remove all workstands, GPU, and non essential equipment from proximity of the aircraft.

NOTE

The APU may be used to supply electrical power during tow.

7. Ensure towing route has been cleared of obstructions and foreign objects.

8. Visually check towing vehicle and tow bar for obvious defects.

9. Tow Bar - Connect to aircraft and tow vehicle.

10. Establish communication between cockpit, tow vehicle and tow supervisor.

11. Deleted.

12. Wheel chocks - Removed

13. Wing and tail walkers positioned - As required.

14. Tow clearance - Obtained through job control.

OCT 1/98 CHANGE 12 PAGE 7

RESTRICTIVE LEGEND ON TITLE PAGE OR FIRST PAGE.

15. Parking brakes - Released.

WARNING

Ensure personnel maintain a minimum of 10 ft (3m) away from landing gear and tow tractor. Personnel who are too near landing gear or tow tractor can get caught in them. This can result in injury or death.

CAUTION

Prior to towing aircraft on or across an active taxiway/runway tow clearance must be obtained from the control tower and tower frequency must be monitored while on the active taxiway/runway. After departing the active taxiway/runway notify the tower that the taxiway/runway is cleared and leave the frequency.

16. Tow aircraft - As required.

17. Contact tower - As required.

WARNING

Checking tire surfaces without brakes set may result in serious injury to personnel.

CAUTION

First and last few feet of towing action should be in a straight forward or aft direction to align gears and relieve tire twisting stresses. Failure to align gear to relieve stresses may result in hydraulic leakage through shock strut seals.

18. Prior to completion of towing aircraft, stop, set brakes, and check surface of tires that will be on ground at completion of tow.

19. Release brakes and complete tow.

PAGE 8 CHANGE 10 OCT 1/95

RESTRICTIVE LEGEND ON TITLE PAGE OR FIRST PAGE.

20. When towing operation is complete, turn nose wheel to center or near center position.

21. Wheel chocks - Installed.

22. Tow Bar - Disconnected from tow vehicle and then aircraft.

23. Nose gear torque links - Connected if disconnected.

WARNING

When nosewheel steering bypass valve lockpin is removed, bypass valve closes and causes hydrualic pressure to center nosewheel. Before removing lockpin, make certain personnel and equipment are clear of nosewheel. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

CAUTION

The towbar must be removed before the bypass valve is returned to normal, otherwise hydraulic pressure could cause nosewheel tow lug to bind in towbar and towbar cannot be removed.

24. Steering bypass valve lockpin - Removed if required.

25. Deleted.

26. Auto Slat Extend circuit breakers. - In.

27. Anti-skid switch - OFF.

28. Hydraulic systems - OFF.

29. Serviceable fire extinguisher(s) - Positioned.

NOTE

Shut down APU if used and no longer required.
