DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
 
Milwaukee 28v power system must be purchased as an option.

If you have a smooth concrete, or epoxy painted hangar floor, we recommend buying our Traction Tape or Wheel Weight Hubs option to prevent tire slippage.
If purchasing wheel weight hubs, click HERE to purchase 2-25lb. CAP cast iron weights.
NOTE: These are the ONLY weights which fit our weight hubs.

NOTE:
Some tow pins are located very close to the nose gear fairing. Attach your hand tow bar to tow pins letting it rest atop the fairing. Viewing from the side, note if tow bar handle is above or below a visual level line from tow pins. If level or above, you will need the Knots-2U option. If below level, you're good with stock forks.

IF YOU LIKE TO OVER-TIGHTEN BOLTS, BUY A SPARE T-BOLT CLAMP. THEY ARE NOT WARRANTIED AGAINST BREAKAGE.

4 of 5 Tug performs as advertized August 28, 2019
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Perry, FL United States (40J)  
Delivery by UPS was on time.  Assembly was easy, only glitch was the fingers on the shaft tube were bend slightly inward so drill chuck could not be inserted.  Bend finger outward slightly with pliers and assembly went smoothly from there.  The right hand attachment socket was not deep enough to accept the length of bolt on my  nose gear so I removed it from the arms and drilled it out approximately 3/8".  The floor in my hanger is smooth finished concrete so getting my 177 moving out of the hanger requires some downward pressure on the handle so wheels don't spin, but tug has plenty of power for uphill push on asphalt back into the hanger.  Like the tug very much, it saves my back and allows me to take aircraft in and out by myself.

Reviewer: Klaus from Deutschland  
I buy the plug in power supply extra with 20v drill supply. The plug in power is amazing. It push plane very easy into hangar with incline and little bump. 20v is good for travel and level.
Vielen danke!
