Air Technical Industries Design “The Scorpion Aircraft Tug”

The Scorpion Aircraft Tug is very resourceful and valuable in the aircraft industry today. It saves space, money time, and gas or diesel fuel costs.

This recently designed battery operated maintenance vehicle not only saves a private and or community airport a remarkable amount of money in several ways but it also saves FBO aircraft mechanics a significant amount of time when servicing airplanes.

Several pieces of equipment are usually required when servicing an airplane, equipment such as a utility vehicle, a tow truck, a crane, a tug tractor, and an auxiliary power unit.

This aircraft maintenance vehicle has the ability to tow aircraft up to 15,000 pounds gross weight, Lift its arm capacity 1,000 pounds (lift up to 2 feet high), it quickly converts from a tug to a crane, the drive throttle controls offer ultra-smooth acceleration control for speeds as slow as 1 fpm up to 4 mph, the drive system features "dead man" controls, automatic braking, and the drive handle pivots 90° for zero turning radius, it includes a folding rider plate for use as a walkie or stand-up rider, it includes headlights for improved visibility, a built in auxiliary power unit, a fire extinguisher, and amber operation light and it is clean-air battery powered for a quiet, smooth operation.

This well-built aircraft tug also allows airports to save on gas and diesel expenses. Since it is battery operated all it needs is a little overnight charge.

Using a Snowblower Safely

Snowblower and lawnmower accidents account for many severe injuries every year, including loss of fingers and toes, deep cuts, burns, crushed and broken bones. Injuries occur to all age groups but most people affected by these types of injuries are between twenty five and sixty. Here are some basic tips to make sure you are not among them!

Basic Safety Tips

Always read the manual and make sure you know the operating procedures before you even start up your snowblower. Never drink alcohol or take any medication that can impair your judgment before you operate a snowblower, or any other machine. Make sure any safety guides, shields or switch guards are in place and never remove them. Check with your manual for any further information on the safety features of your particular model. When operating the snowblower keep hands and feet away from any moving parts and always ensure that children and pets are at a safe distance. This is particularly important for snowblowers as they can take up and propel small objects a long way at a high speed.

Do not leave the machine running unattended, even for a brief time, always shut off the engine completely. Fill up the gas tank when the engine is cold, never when it is running or hot.

Do not wear loose clothes as they can easily become tangled in moving parts. Snowblowers vary considerably in the noise they make. Electric snowblowers are quiet but gas powered models can be very noisy. It is a good idea to have a pair of ear protectors for use with your snowblower and other machines, such as lawn tractors.

Snowblowers can easily become fouled by twigs and other debris. Do not use your hands to clear the auger or discharge chute. Use a broom handle or other stick. If you know heavy snow is predicted, clearing the area of loose material before it is covered by the snow will make snow clearing much easier.

Snowblowers with gasoline engines have the same risks as other machines so treat them accordingly. Gasoline engines produce toxic fumes so never run the snowblower in an enclosed space, your garage for instance. If you must test out the machine do it in an open area. Store gasoline in approved cans only in a safe place away from the hands of small children.

For electric snowblowers care must be taken to keep the cord away from the moving parts. Always use a cord designed for outdoor use and an outlet that has ground fault interrupting protection.

Maintenance of your Snowblower

Always do a thorough check of your machine at the start of the winter, before the first snow. Gas powered snowblowers need more maintenance than electric models and require the same types of maintenance as your car engine. The oil level and spark plug must be checked regularly and the oil changed at least once a year before the first use of the winter. Check the cord on an electric snowblower. See that it is not frayed or damaged and replace if necessary.

Make sure you do not have to visit the emergency room this coming winter by following all the safety rules!

Mercedes Benz Spark Plugs for Proper Engine Start-up

Mercedes Benz is one of the top-selling brands of cars in the whole world today. It is known for its innovations especially when it comes to the safety features of its vehicles. To be able to keep your Mercedes Benz always on its top shape, it must be properly maintained. Of course, we can start with the maintenance of its parts. Take for instance the Mercedes Benz spark plug.

A spark plug or if you're British, you may call it sparkling plug, is an electrical device located in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. By means of a spark, it ignites compressed aerosol gasoline.

The Mercedes Benz spark plug is supposed to provide three basic items for it to be capable to initiate the combustion process. First, it seals the combustion chamber. Second, it conducts a spark that is generated in the ignition coil into the combustion chamber and provides a gap for that spark to jump across. And third, it conducts the heat it picks up in the combustion process to the cylinder head and into the cooling system.

The Mercedes Benz park plug basically has eight parts. These are the terminal, ribs, insulator, metal case, side electrode or ground electrode, seals, insulator tip, and central electrode.

Electrical performance is the term used for the ability of the spark plug to carry electrical energy and turn fuel into working energy. Also, a sufficient amount of voltage must be supplied by the ignition system to spark across the spark plug's gap.

Thermal Performance, on the other hand is the term used for the temperature that the spark plug is firing. It must be must be kept low enough to prevent pre-ignition, but high enough to prevent fouling.

The spark plug's firing end can be affected by the internal environment of the combustion chamber. Proper operation of the combustion chamber can be indicated by a light brownish discoloration of the tip of the spark plug while a malfunction may be indicated by other conditions.

A Mercedes Benz spark plug can either be hot or cold. The hot type has a larger surface exposed to the combustion gasses. It dissipates heat quickly and its firing end heats up quickly. The cold type, on the other hand, has a smaller surface exposed to the combustion gasses, dissipates heat slowly and has a firing end that heats up slowly. Whether a spark plug is hot or cold is known as the heat range of the spark plug.

The spark plug's heat range has many factors that can affect it. Some of these are the types of materials used, the length of the insulator and the surface area of the plug that is exposed within the combustion chamber.

What are the most common problems when it comes to your Mercedes Benz spark plugs? First is detonation, which is practically the spark plug's worst enemy. A light detonation can be indicated by a small black or gray spots on the core nose of the spark plug while a severe detonation can be indicated by insulators that are cracked or chipped. The spark plug is damaged by both the elevated temperatures and the accompanying shock wave, or concussion. Second is pre-ignition which is defined as ignition of the air/fuel mixture before the pre-set ignition timing mark. Common indications are melted center, ground electrodes or a melted insulator. One of its causes can be a spark plug that's too hot. This can severely damage not only the spark plug itself but also intake valves and brake pistons. Pre-ignition also causes detonation. Third is fouling, which commonly occurs when the spark plug tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits. Fouling can either be wet or dry. Common indicators are soft, black, sooty, dry-looking deposits for dry fouling and black oily coating for wet fouling. Fourth is misfire. A spark plug is said to have misfired when enough voltage has not been delivered to light off all fuel present in the combustion chamber at the proper moment of the power stroke. A spark plug can deliver a weak spark for a variety of reasons namely defective coil, too much compression with incorrect plug gap, dry fouled or wet fouled spark plugs and insufficient ignition timing.

Your Mercedes Benz spark plug must be checked once in a while to prevent further damage. Once you discover that it's damaged, replacement should be your first and only option to maintain only the best and maximum performance.
