Mistakes and technical alterations reserved / Date 11.2008
1) The stated towing capacity is valid for towing on normal ground conditions without an incline of more than 1 %.
2) This prevents the nosewheel from rising and slipping out of position. The securing device is hydraulically lowered onto the nosewheel and securely locked at the push of a button. Standard: mechanical securing system.
3) In most aircraft, the generator voltage is 28.4 V. The 25.6 V on-board batteries are charged with this voltage. With the Mototok ground power supply, the on-board voltage can be maintained and used to start the turbines.
4) To avoid the on-board electronics switching off during lengthy data update procedures (more than 30 minutes) in the case of aircraft with separate avionic cooling systems, we recommend a 28V buffer connection via a larger battery charger.
