|Specs & Precautions
As the operator, you are fully responsible for the safe operation of
the tug and any damage done to your aircraft or hangar due to
operation errors
1
Familiarize yourself with the throttle and speed response of
your tug before attaching your aircraft. Your tug does not stop
immediately, this is intentional to protect your aircraft from
damage
2
Aircraft should never be moved on any type of uneven, sloping or
hilly terrain
3
Store your tug in a dry location when not in use
4
Always turn the tug off while not in use. The tug will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes. Toggle the power switch to turn on
5
Leave your tug plugged in while not in use. The smart charge
feature will prevent damage to the battery
6
Extreme cold can negatively impact the batteries, but climate
control is not necessary in most circumstances

|Charging info
For maximum range and battery life, it is recommended to fully
charge the battery before each use
Extended charging is good for the battery and will not
overcharge them
With a built-in overcharge protection feature, the battery should
be charged whenever it is not in use
The charger is preprogrammed to be optimized to charge the
included AGM batteries. If you change the mode type, it will
effect the charge time but not damage the batteries. AeroTow
recommends it be changed back to AGM for optimal charging
time
When you plug the charger in, it will automatically diagnose the
battery for the rst two minutes. Each bar will sequentially light
up during the course of the charge cycle until the green light
ashes
WARNING
Consistent deep discharges may result in
permanent damage to the battery. Charge often
