WARRANTYINFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

The primary goal of warranty adjustment is to satisfy our customers. Every satisfied customer strengthens the components of our whole organization - all aspects of the products themselves and the service that backs them up. This manual is directed to TUG Technologies’ distributors and customers of TUG Equipment. It should be used to implement the Warranty Program at every level.
This Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual includes the warranties of TUG Technologies’ products. It explains warranty policy and coverage, and describes the warranty claim process.
TUG Technologies is responsible for handling warranty and policy adjustments promptly and in accordance with the provisions of the Sales and Service Agreement, TUG Technologies War­ranty Statements and this manual. Customers who recognize the manual as the "heart" of the warranty system and train their personnel in its use may expect service personnel qualified to submit claims that are properly completed and fully-substantiated, resulting in prompt claims pay­ment.
NOTE:
The guidelines and requirements in this manual apply to warranty claims sub­mitted to TUG Technologies for reimbursement to the customer.
PRE-DELIVERYPROCEDURES
Establish pre-delivery procedures that ensure the appropriate inspections and adjustments are made prior to equipment being placed in service.
AUTHORIZATIONREQUIREMENTS-REPAIRSREQUIRINGPRIORAPPROVAL

WARRANTY

A warranty is a specific document that guarantees the quality of goods to a purchaser within a specified length of time and according to usage limitations. The TUG Technologies warranty statement defines the conditions of the warranty. A warranty:
1. Remains in force for the specified period, provided that an occurrence has not taken place to render the warranty inapplicable.
2. Assures the owner that if, under the conditions specified, a defect in factory workmanship or material is encountered, it will be corrected at no charge or on a prorata basis.
3. Extension of coverage by any manufacturer does not change what is covered in the basic, expressed limited warranty.
WARRANTYSTATEMENTS
TUG Technologies Warranty Statements provide detailed information regarding coverage and usage limitations for TUG products.

Section2:IATAFlightlineSafetyGuidelines
2.1IGOMChapter4: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-Oper Safety - 2 - 13

2.3.1GeneralSafetyInstructionsforGroundSupportEquipment(GSE)
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

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.

Operation Manual
Engine controls are mounted in the operator’s compartment instrument panel and include hour meter, ignition switch, and light switches.
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.
All hydraulic hose connections are Ga reinforcing wire inside the hose. This is more reliable than the grip on the rubber of the hose. Mega Crimp connections are plated to resist damage from corrosion. The Mega Crimp connec­tions are rated at 3000 psi (US) (20.68 MPa or 204.14 atm) working pre are Gates brand Mega 3000 rated for 3250 psi (22.41 MPa or 221.15 atm) working pressure. All pipes are constructed from Benteler hydraulic piping rated for 3000 PSI (20.68 MPa 204.14 atm) working pressure.

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.
mp at a rate of six gals
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.
Fluid from the hydraulic brake system assist valve and the hydra manifold. This fluid then exits the manifold. Fluid passes through the return line hydraulic filter before returning to the hydraulic oil reservoir.

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.
1.4.13.3LiftCylindersandConveyorMotor
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.

ntrols the conveyor hydraulic motor / CBV assembly.
When a manual lever is actuated, the lever mechanically shifts the spool valve
position, porting fluid to that side of the lift cylinder to be pressurized. Spool Valve movement also opens a chan­nel for the non-pressurized portion of the lift cylinder
piston to allow unpressurized oil to return to the hydraulic oil reservoir through port on the valve manifold assembly and the return line hydraulic filter.
Likewise, when the conveyor motor control valve is actuated noid shifts the spool valve position, porting fluid to
the forward or reverse side of the conveyor
in either direction, its electric sole-
motor/CBV assembly. Spool valve movement also opens a channel for the non-pressurized por­tion of the conveyor motor/CBV assembly to allow unp

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.

4. Select transmission drive (FWD/REV)
To select a vehicle drive direction in a CE configured belt loader:
1. Move transmission drive selector lever up (toward instrument panel) to select forward
drive direction.
2. Move transmission drive selector lever down (toward driver’s seat) to select reverse drive
direction.
3. Neutral is located midway between forward and reverse and is indicated by a positive
stop notch into which the spring loaded lever will fall when shifting.
4. Select transmission drive (FWD/REV)..
This transmission is equipped with Abuse Protection Valve Body. To shift into Reverse (R) or Drive (D), all three of the following conditions must be met:
1. Throttle position must be less than 25%.
2. Engine RPM must be less than 1500 RPM.
NOTE:
3. Vehicle speed must be 0 MPH.
If any of the above conditions are not met, the transmission will be placed into a neutral state until all three conditions are met. This neutral state may slightly drag the forward or reverse clutch, moving the vehicle very slowly and give the impres­sion that the transmission is slipping. To fully engage the desired gear, simply come to a complete stop with the engine at idle.
2.1.7.5Depressfootthrottle.
The foot throttle is a conventional automobile accelerator connected to the ECM by electrical connection.
• To increase speed, depress foot throttle.
• To decrease speed, release foot throttle.
2.1.7.6Maneuvervehiclewithsteeringwheel.
The steering system is a hydrostatic type powered from the belt-driven hydraulic pump.
• To turn left, rotate the steering wheel counterclockwise.
• To turn right, rotate the steering wheel clockwise.

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-Oper Operation - 2 - 21
Page 84
Mobile Belt Loader Model 660 Operation
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.
