is attached to the GoTow to avoid possible injury.

hits a stop. Before using the GoTow determine this stop angle so you can avoid
exceeding it while using the GoTow.

Step 4 – Prep for attachment to your airplane
Step 5 – Determine your lug tube conguration
Step 6 – Initial lug t-up
Use the ½” wrench to loosen the lug tube clamps and slide each to the full open position (leave
loose for next steps).
The lug tubes are dierent inside diameters on each end. Remove and ip these lug tubes as
needed. The larger ID is for Cessna Airplanes and the small ID is for Cirrus Airplanes. See the
specications section on exact aircra models these t. You may need an adapter set as pictured
to t your model (GoTow Adapter Set Item #36550).
While holding the tow arm up to your nose wheel, use nger pressure to slide the lug tubes over
your airplanes tow lugs on both sides. Continue adjusting the position of the lug tubes until the
“fork” of the tow arm is centered on tire, then tighten both lug tube clamps.

Step 7 – Test lug tube positions
Step 8 – Setting the operator platform height
Depress the thumb latch button and move the lug tubes to the open position. If you cannot
remove the GoTow from the airplane in this open position, then readjust the position of each lug
tube to provide enough clearance for removal in this open position. Adjust and test in both the
open and closed position until you are satised.
Attach the GoTow to your airplane for this nal assembly step. Adjust the angle of the operator
platform so that the transport wheels are 2-3 inches above the ground. This step should be done
on level ground and will result in a slight upward angle to the operator platform. This angle is
necessary because the tire will compress when you step onto the operator platform. Now is the
time to rmly tighten all (6) 5/16-18 x 7/8 hex bolts that hold the tow arm to the drive head as
assembled in Step 2. The assembly is now complete!

Attachment
Attach to your airplane by holding both handles for alignment and then twist the attachment
handle to lock it onto the lugs. Make sure the thumb latch has engaged so there is no chance it
will accidentally come loose during use.
THUMB LATCH
MOVE YOUR AIRPLANE:
Alert: Your airplane’s nose wheel will only turn so far in either direction before it
hits a stop. Before using the GoTow determine this stop angle so you can avoid
exceeding it while using the GoTow.
Stand on the operator platform with both feet so that all your body weight is on the drive tire.
Select forward or reverse on your drill for the proper direction of travel. Gently squeeze the drill
trigger to start movement. Steer with one hand on the handle bars while operating the drill with
your other hand. When the plane is in the desired location, release the drill trigger and the plane
will come to a stop.

Every month or as needed apply 2 pumps of grease to the grease tting on
the drive head as shown. Also from time to time apply a light coating of
grease to the outside of the lug tubes and the diagonal slot on the tow arm.
