3.  
Put a rope bridge between the cables each 15 feet (5 m). The bridge prevents sudden movements (whiplash) if a link or a cable breaks.

4.  
You can move the airplane forward or aft with a tow vehicle or a winch.

5.  
Control all the equipment to make sure it operates together as a system. Start the movement slowly. Increase the cable forces on the airplane slowly until it moves. Do not turn the gears more than the angular limits shown in Figure 4-15.

6.  
Use wheel chocks. Move the chocks continuously to prevent a possible opposite movement (rollback) of the airplane.

7.  
When the airplane starts to move, continue to keep a slow and a smooth force on it. Move the airplane in a straight line. If you must turn the airplane, make sure that you use the largest radius that you can.

8.  
Pull the airplane with a tow vehicle or a winch until all the gears are on the runway. Then you can use the usual tow procedures.

9.  
You must control the airplane when it is on a hard surface. The airplane can have a faster movement than the tow vehicle and hit it. Use a rear vehicle with a restraint cable. Then you can hold the airplane in a stable condition while it moves. The vehicle attached to the nose with a towbar will usually perform this function.

10.  
Be careful when you use more than one vehicle to pull the airplane. You must use them in the same straight line joined one behind the other (see Figure 4-20). This prevents a possible movement that is not symmetrical (see-saw) on the two landing gears.

11.  
If you use a trailer below the nose of the fuselage, it must have a turntable (swivel cradle.) This permits the trailer to turn, if it is necessary, while you pull the airplane.
