Warning: The control stick on the remote is very sensitive and will cause
the tug to move if it is moved accidenally. When not using the
remote it is recommended that the power switch is turned OFF.
Note: If the remote is not used for more than a couple minutes it will start
beeping as a indicator that it is still in the ON position. This is not an
indicator of a low battery.

*NOTE*
BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY PROCESS PLACE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT

Step 2: Insert larger diameter end of Helicopter Frame Insert (Part #24244)
into the end of the tube of assembly #09621. Align the thru holes on both
the helicopter frame insert and end of the tube shown and insert T-han-
dle pin (Part #95545) far enought until the handle cannot slide out freely.
Step 1: Slide the smaller diameter end of the Helicopter Frame Insert
(Part #24244) into swivel connection shown above. Align the non threaded
thru holes and while holding the insert in place screw in Shoulder Bolt (Part
#95655).

15
Step 4: Align the center numbered #1 thru hole and one end of the center
tube shown and insert the T-handle pin (Part #95545) far enough until the
handle cannot slide out freely. Remove the T-Handle Pin on the side with
the adjustment handle and leave out until the tug’s width has been adjusted
to the previously measured width. This connection does not adjust and will
remain intact when adjusting the width of the T1H2 tug. Facing down on the
adjusment handle turn it counter-clockwise until it can no longer turn.
Step 3: Align the thru holes on both the center numbered tube and end of
the tube shown and insert T-handle pin (Part #95545) far enought until the
handle cannot slide out freely. Take note this pin will be removed and ad-
justed in step 6 of this process when connecting both the right and left tugs.

Step 6: With both tugs placed 5 inches less than the width measured, as-
suming it is possible and not at its minimum width, power one of the tugs
on to aid in aliging the tubes. Align the center tube and the end numbered
tube insert so they are concentric with one another. Remove the T-Handle
pin from step three and looking down on the adjusment handle rotate it
clockwise guiding the tube to the desired length. Once the desired length
has been achieved insert the T-Handle pin to connect both the center tube
and end numbered tube together

Step 5: Slide the smaller diameter end of the end numbered tube insert into
the swivel connection shown above. Align the non threaded thru holes and
while holding the insert in place screw in Shoulder Bolt (Part #95655).

Step 7: Both the right and left tugs are now connected together. Take note of
the numbers the T-handle Pins have been inserted to after adjustment is com-
plete as shown in the fi gure below. These numbers will aide with the backend
assembly width adjusment in the fi nal step.

Step 8: Insert (2x) T1H2 Frame Insert into the seperate Heli Rail Support
blocks attached individually to each tug. Align the two threaded holes on
each of the T1H2 Frame Inserts with the thru holes on the Heli Rail Support
