Roadways must be plane, free from objects and fastened sufficiently. Guiding rails of hall
doors, spillways and something like that must be balanced out so that it is possible to cross
them over shock-free.
Up or down gradients
Up and down gradients shall not exceed the stated figures and must show a sufficient rough
surface.
On the up and lower end even and flat transitions should prevent the aircraft tug from any
damages, e.g. caused by heavy touchdown.
To achieve full traction, up and down gradients should not exceed 1 per cent. The more
higher the gradient, the more lower the traction.
Permanent operating on an up or down gradient (more than 5 minutes) could result in a fuse
failure. This serves only for protection of the electronics assembly and doesn’t present a
malfunction of the device.
The aircraft tug should not be operated in case of steep gradient because the brake force of
the engine would probably not be sufficient.
Attention: Non-compliance of the maximum values for
up and down gradients may cause life-threatening!
Aircraft and tug could be damaged!
The Directive concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the workplace
(89/654/EEC) must be followed according to the latest version.
For countries outside the EU national stipulations apply respectively.

If necessary, he has to ensure additional fire prevention.
