TOWING
1. General
A.  The airplane is normally towed or pushed by a tow bar attached to the nose gear. Maximum normal towing turning limits are indicated by painted stripes on the nose gear doors.
B.  The airplane is capable of being towed on firm and level terrain by the nose gear with one tire flat on each landing gear if starting loads are held to the minimum. For other abnormal towing loads, such as towing with two flat tires on one main gear, towing on soft terrain, towing up inclines greater than 5 degrees, the towing should be done from the main gears as the structural limitations of the nose gear may be exceeded.
NOTE:  With two flat tires on one main gear, effort should be made to replace one of the flat tires with a serviceable tire before towing to prevent excessive damage to the tires and wheels.
C.  Towing airplane with either or both engines removed presents no problem as long as the center of gravity remains forward of the aft center of gravity limits. Refer to par. 7 for center of gravity data.
D.  When it is necessary to tilt the airplane for tail clearance in hangars and storage areas, refer to 7-13-0, Tilt Airplane for Tail Clearance.
2.  Equipment and Materials
A.  Standard tow tractor
B.  Tow Bar –C09002 (-1,-2,-5,-10,12 and –13) –9 is replaced by –58 and F72951-51.
C.  Eyebolt Assembly, Main Landing Gear Towing - F72719
D.  Wire cable (3/4 inch) with end fittings to match F72719 and tow tractor (local fabrication)
E.  Steering depressurization valve lockout pin - F72735-13
3.  Prepare for Towing Airplane
A.  Check airplane is within center of gravity towing limitations and for fuel imbalance. Refer to par. 7 for center of gravity data.
B.  Check that all landing gear ground lock pins are installed (Ref 32-00-01).
NOTE: Towing or pushing with landing gear ground lock pins removed is optional.
C.  Tires and shock struts properly inflated (Ref Chapter 12).
CAUTION:  DO NOT TOW AIRPLANE WITH NOSE GEAR FULLY COLLAPSED OR EXTENDED MORE THAN 22 INCHES FROM BOTTOM OF INNER CYLINDER TO BOTTOM OF STEERING PLATE AS NOSE GEAR STRUT MAY BE DAMAGED INTERNALLY.
D.  Apply external electrical power or start and operate APU (Ref 24-41-0 or 49-11-0).
NOTE:  With external power applied or APU providing electrical power, parking brakes in parked position, and hydraulic system ground interconnect valve on (open), system B pump will pressurize both inboard and outboard brake accumulators A and B. If parking brakes are off, only outboard brake accumulator B will be charged and outboard brakes continuously pressurized.

E.  Check that brake hydraulic pressure is normal, approximately 3000 psi.
F.  Check that antiskid switch is off.
G.  On airplanes without nose gear steering depressurization valve or if Lockout Pin is not installed.
(1)  
Check that hydraulic system A is depressurized.

NOTE:  If hydraulic system A is pressurized, system pressure prevents steering actuator bypass valve from opening, preventing nose gear from being turned by the tow bar. (Do not confuse system A pressure with brake accumulator A which pressurizes only the inboard brakes.)
