Section2:IATAFlightlineSafetyGuidelines
2.1IGOMChapter4:AircraftHandlingProcedures
This section of the TUG Operators Manual has been created from the IATA ground Operations
Manual (IGOM). This section provides general guidelines for GSE handling, including safety procedures. The ground support equipment operator must always follow the training and equipment
operating rules of their employer.
2.1.1RampSafetyinAircraftHandling
Ramp safety rules and procedures promote safe ground handling. Therefore, the minimum
safety rules and procedures defined in this section shall always be applied and understood by all
personnel working on the ramp.
Aircraft damage can endanger passengers, employees, and aircraft. Disruptions may also negatively impact safe airline operations.
Even a slight scratch or dent on an aircraft may result in a serious accident. If you observe or
cause any aircraft damage, you MUST report it. Refer to the operating airline’s policy regarding
reporting of aircraft damage.
2.2GeneralRampSafety
2.2.1DangerAreas
Blast damage or injury from an aircraft engine’s exhaust or intake is very dangerous. The risk is
further increased when an aircraft comes to a stop and then re-applies the additional thrust
required to “break away” and continue taxiing.
Vehicles and personnel must remain clear of aircraft danger areas when aircraft engines are running and/or the anti-collision lights are on.
In order to prevent incidents and accidents caused by aircraft engines, you must never position
yourself or equipment in the following critical areas before or during aircraft departure and arrival:
•Engine Intake Area
•Engine Blast Area
•Propeller Rotation Area (where applicable)
NOTE:
The length of these areas vary for each aircraft type based on whether the engines
are IDLE or BREAKAWAY thrust.
Refer to each aircraft type specific manual for applicable distances and the Company’s instructions for guidance. Ground personnel and loose equipment must stay clear of the intake and
blast areas.
CD397-OperSafety - 2 - 13
Page 48

Operation Manual
2.2.2EngineIntakeArea
Make sure the engine intake area is clear:
•At arrival, until the engines have been switched off and are spooling down
•At departure or just before pushback
•At all times while engines are running.
•It is forbidden to pass through the blast area while engines are running.
Refer to the operating airline’s Ground Operation Manual (GOM) for distances applicable to the
specific aircraft type involved in the operation.
Sample Engine Danger Area for A330-300 and A330-200 aircraft are shown in Figure Safety - 2 1 and Figure Safety - 2 - 2.
The Equipment Restraint Area (ERA) is defined as the area of the apron bordered by a red line
known as the Equipment Restraint Line, or otherwise indicated, in which an aircraft is parked
during ground operations.
NOTE:
The illustration below provides an example of the markings used in some locations.
If no markings exist, local procedures must establish safe parking areas.
FigureSafety-2-3:EquipmentRestraintArea
The ERA must be free of obstructions and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) before and during aircraft arrival and departure.
2.2.3.1FOD-ForeignObjectDebris
Foreign Object Debris (FOD) is a general term which applies to all loose objects which are a danger to the safety and integrity of an aircraft and must not be left in any area where they would
constitute a hazard.

Follow these procedures when operating GSE on ramp:
CAUTION: Only trained and authorized personnel are allowed to drive or
operate specific GSE.
CAUTION: When operating equipment, check the equipment contact zone
for possible aircraft damage and immediately report any damage found.
Use all safety devices fitted on GSE (e.g. bumpers, handrails, stabilizers, etc.) during aircraft
handling and servicing.
Ensure protective rubber bumpers ARE NOT compressed against the aircraft fuselage.
2.3.2BasicOperatingRequirementsforGSE
•Check all GSE involved in aircraft handling at the start of a shift (at least once per day). In
particular the check the parking brake, rubber protective bumpers, 'E' Stops and other
safety systems and all other proximity sensors.
•Perform a vehicle/equipment walk around check prior to its use.
•Apply parking brakes and place the gear selector in the “PARK or “NEUTRAL” position on
all GSE when it is parked or positioned.
•When positioning GSE, maintain clearance between all GSE and the aircraft to allow for
vertical movement of the aircraft during the entire ground handling process to prevent
contact between the aircraft and equipment.
•Do not carry extra personnel during GSE movement without an approved seat - apply the
“no seat-no ride” principle.
•Do not operate vehicles or equipment while using hand-held portable electronic devices.
•After positioning equipment on the aircraft, raise all safety rails on conveyor belts, loaders
and other devices - except where restricted by aircraft type.
•If needed, walk only on the rubberized conveyor belt portion of the conveyor.
•Do not walk on the conveyor while the vehicle or belt are in motion
CD397-OperSafety - 2 - 19
Page 54
Mobile Belt Loader Model 660Safety
Operation Manual
•Do not leave any vehicle unattended with its engine running.
•Do not drive GSE with lifting devices in the raised position, except for final positioning of
the GSE onto the aircraft.
•Do not allow any GSE such as tractor, pallet transported, baggage/cargo carts and dollies
to move or be positioned under the aircraft fuselage.
•Do not move any GSE towards the aircraft unless all of the following criteria are met:
a.Aircraft has come to a complete stop;
b.Engines have been switched off and are spooling down;
c.Anti-collision lights are switched off;
d.Wheel chocks are positioned;
e.Ground/Flight Crew communication has been established, and clearance has
been given, if applicable.
NOTE:
The above does not apply for ground power units (GPUs).
2.3.3BeltLoaderAircraftLoadingEquipment
The following precautions must be taken when operating a belt loader:
•The boom of the belt loader must never be positioned inside the cargo hold of any aircraft.
•Position and remove a belt loader in a straight line with the cargo hold door at a 90
degree angle to the aircraft fuselage.
•Make sure the boom is clear of the aircraft or other obstacles before making a turn.
•The rubber bumpers on a conveyor belt loader must NEVER make contact with the aircraft. The minimum distance to be maintained at all times is 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the fuselage.
•Always raise side handrails as soon as belt loader is positioned. Make sure they do not
touch the aircraft fuselage.
•Specially designed belt loaders (e.g. Ramp Snake or Powerstow) require the equipment
to be positioned inside the cargo hold.
•Do not sit or stand on a conveyor belt while it is in operation (up or down).
Apply the following precautions when driving or parking Ground Support Equipment (GSE) within
the ERA:
•Make a minimum of one complete stop with all motorized vehicles/equipment prior to
entering the ERA.
-Conduct a “Brake Check” or “Safety Stop” by coming to a full and complete stop to
confirm the serviceability of the brake system on the vehicle and to test the apron
surface.
CAUTION: This action MUST be carried out even if there is no Equipment
Restraint Line marked on the apron. This stop must be conducted at a distance of no less than 15 ft (5 m) from the aircraft.
•Do not drive GSE faster than walking speed.
•Maneuver GSE carefully in order to prevent personnel injury and/or aircraft damage.
CAUTION: When reversing vehicles or equipment with limited rear-view visibility inside the ERA, make sure you are guided by an agent using standard
IATA signals and/or assisted by means of a rear-view video or mirror.
•Any moving vehicle that is not positioning at the aircraft must stay outside the operational
safety buffer zone.
•Do not drive or park under the aircraft fuselage and/or wing.
•Safety cones are a caution sign for drivers to maintain required safety clearances. Cones
protect parts of the aircraft against collision by GSE.
2.4AdverseWeatherConditions
Adverse or poor weather conditions may have a negative impact on aircraft handling activities
and ground safety.
2.4.1WinterorSlipperyApronConditions
Winter weather brings extra hazards which require awareness and more care on the part of personnel working on the aprons to prevent accidents.
NOTE:

1.4.10Conveyor
The conveyor is fabricated from structural shapes and formed steel, and is attached to the chassis through front and rear lifting frames.
The front cylinder, supporting the front lifting frame, raises
the conveyor to 170 in. (431.8 cm) on
the Model 660.
The conveyor frame is 34 in. (86.36 cm) wide on 660 and
31.5 in. (80.009 cm) on 663. The conveyor belt is 24 in. (60.96 cm) wide on all models and is supported by 2 in. (5.08 cm) diameter
rollers a
nd is hydraulic motor-driven through a roller chain reduction. The front roller is mounted
in a flange block with a screw-adjustable take-up that allows 6 in. (15.24 cm) of adjustment.
Crowder rollers under the support rollers direct the return side of the belt into areas where
required clearances around fixed components is maintained. An inverted angle iron track on the
lower forward section of the conveyor maintains lateral stability through V-shaped rollers
mounted to the front lift frame.
r
Operator stations for controlling the conveyo
belt are located on the left side at each end of the
conveyor. Alternative positions are available as options.
1.4.11Operator’sCompartment
The operator's compartment contains all the required controls to drive the vehicle and to control
the lifting and lowering of the conveyor.

1.4.12ElectricalSystem
Electrical power is supplied by an alternator, belt-driven, mounted on the side of the engine. The
system is a 12-volt, direct current system with negative ground.
All operating circuits are wired through the ignition swit
ch and are protected by circuit breakers.
1.4.13HydraulicSystem
1.4.13.1GeneralHydraulicsOperation
The hydraulic schematic (see the Maintenance Manual) represents an open center system that
supplies power to raise and lower the conveyor and to drive the conveyor belt.
Hydraulic power is supplied by a hydraulic pump,
The pump supplies 9 gpm (34.08 lpm) at 1500 rpm to raise and lower the conveyor and to drive
the conveyor belt.
Both lift cylinders are locked in any position by hold
a counterbalance and cushion valve in the circuit.

Hydraulic fluid is drawn from the hydraulic oil reservoir to the hydraulic pu
(22.71 l) to ten gals (37.85 l) per minute into a pipe manifold. From the pump, fluid is directed to a
pressure-compensated flow divider valve in the valve manifold, located under the driver’s seat.
The pressure-compensated flow divider valve separates the hydraulic system into a steering and
braking section and a lift cylinder and conveyor motor section.

1.4.13.2SteerandBraking
The pressure-compensated flow divider valve provides a constant 2 gpm (7.57 lpm) of oil flow to
the Steering / Braking portion of the hydraulic system. Hydraulic fluid pressure for the steering
and braking section is limited by a pressure relief valve, set at 1000 psi (6.9 MPa or 68.05 atm),
in the hydraulic manifold. Hydraulic oil then flows to the hydraulic brake system assist valve via
port, then to the hydraulic steering motor.

line that returns oil to the hydraulic oil reservoir through ports on the valve manifold assembly.
When the brake pedal is released, pressure is reduced and the spring loaded check valve opens,
allowing hydraulic fluid to return to the hydraulic oil reservoir through ports on the valve manifold
assembly and the return line hydraulic filter.
Hydraulic fluid also flows to the hydraulic steering motor which controls the hydraulic steer cylinder.
When the steering wheel position is altered,
pressurized hydraulic fluid enters the steering valve
through port. Depending on the direction of steering input, flow is diverted through ports to the
appropriate side of the steer cylinder through hydraulic lines. Flow out of the steering cylinder
and excess flow coming in through port returns to the manifold via ports. This fluid then exits the
manifold via port. Fluid passes through the return line hydraulic filter before returning to the
hydraulic oil reservoir.
1.4.13.3LiftCylindersandConveyorMotor
Pressurized hydraulic oil not being used by the steering/braking systems bypasses the flow
divider valve and then flows into an adjustable relief valve that allows hydraulic fluid to return to
the hydraulic oil reservoir through port on the valve manifold assembly and the return line
hydraulic filter.

DCEmergencyPump
In the case of Main Hydraulic Pump failure, the DC-operated Emergency Pump is available for
the temporary activation of the Hydraulic Lift Cylinders and the Conveyor Motor. The emergency
pump cannot operate the steering and braking system.
The 660 belt loader is equipped with an electrically opera
ted emergency hydraulic pump to allow
short term operation of the hydraulic system for raising or lowering the conveyor, in the event of
an engine failure. The hydraulic pump relies on the 12 volt starter battery for energy.
CAUTION: The emergency hydraulic pump should only be operated when
the regular propulsion engine is OFF or NOT operating.
The purpose of the emergency hydraulic pump is to enable lowering of the conveyor into its normal down position, or to retrieve luggage that may be on the belt at the time of engine failure. It
may a
lso be used to gain access to the engine compartment if the conveyor is in the down posi-
tion.
CAUTION: Use the safety props to support the conveyor at all times when
performing maintenance under the conveyor.
The emergency hydraulic pump is not to be used to load or u
nload luggage to or from the hold of
the plane at any time.
The emergency hydraulic pump is activated by a butt
on on the instrument panel that is labeled
“Emergency Hydraulic Pump”. Pressing the button down activates the pump, releasing the button
stops the operation of the pump, thus all the time hydraulic power is required during emergency
conditions the button should be depressed.
There is an electrical safety circuit for the emergency pump, located next to the
NOTE:
hydraulic tank, it will trip if the current drawn from the battery to operate the emergency pump exceeds preset limits. It may be reset by pressing down the red button marked 105.
The Emergency Hydraulic Pump should be tested daily before equipment use, any concerns
ab
out its operation should be reported to the crew supervisor.

2.1.8BeltLoaderTowingInstructions
Occasionally, due to a mechanical failure, a TUG Belt Loader may require towing for some distance. If at all possible, the Belt Loader should be moved with a suitable tow truck or on a flat bed
tow truck. If this is not practical, the Belt Loader can be towed with all four wheels on the ground.
In this situation, extreme diligence is required.
CAUTION: Do not tow the Belt Loader if it has experienced a hydraulic failure as the unit may not be steerable! The maximum tow distance with the
driveshaft installed is 1 mile at a speed of no more than 5 mph. If the
required towing distance is more than 1 mile, the driveshaft must be
removed from the Belt Loader to avoid transmission damage. The maximum towing speed without the driveshaft is 5 mph.
2.1.8.1TowingRequirements
WARNING: FAILURE TO USE PROPER TOWING GEAR CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
CD397-OperOperation - 2 - 21

Mobile Belt Loader Model 660Operation
Operation Manual
CAUTION: Do not tow the Belt Loader unless absolutely necessary.
CAUTION: Do not allow the Belt Loader to be pushed by other equipment.
CAUTION: Verify the steering system operates properly. The steering
wheel should turn the front wheels of the vehicle. Steering effort will be
greater than normal, but should be possible. If the Belt Loader cannot be
steered, do not tow the Belt Loader.
CAUTION: Use a properly sized tow vehicle for the vehicle being towed
and the conditions present. Connect the other end of the tow straps to an
appropriate location on the towing vehicle.
CAUTION: Tow only with suitably sized tow straps rated for the weight of
the Belt Loader (7,200 lbs or 3265.9 kg).
1. Connect the tow straps to the D-rings located under the front bumper. The D-rings should
be marked with decals labeled TOW.
2. Put the transmission in Neutral.
3. While applying the foot brake, release the parking brake using the parking brake handle.
4. Tow only as fast as the conditions allow, but no faster than 5 mph (8.05 kph).
5. Tow only the minimum distance required to get the belt loader to a safe location for
repairs.
6. Once the tow is complete, reapply the parking brake and chock the wheels of the belt
loader.
7. Disconnect the tow straps and make repairs prior to returning the belt loader to service.
