Introduction: MA Tow Tractor Dec. 1995 p. 3 INTRODUCTION TO THE OPERATION ANO SERVICE MANUAL This manual establishes the operation and maintenance procedures that are to be used by operators of the Tug Manufacturing Corporation Models MA-30, MA-40, MA-50, MA-60, MA-70 & MA-80 Tow Tractors. During recent years, the importance of Materials Handling (the physical movement of materials) has received serious and concentrated study. Due to the need for increased economy in today’s industry, new and more efficient methods have becomenecessary for the handling and storage of materials. Forklift and reach trucks are the well estabIished implements utilized for stocking loads, often stacking them extremely high. They have enabied more effective utilization of valuable storage space. While these vehicies are frequently operated for transferring loads over short distances, their use is not economical when lengthy traveling is involved. For lengthy traveling, the tow tractor is a valuable tool, especially when used in conjunction with a trailer train. This system provides an economical mode of transferring a large amount of material or goods over a long distance. The more specialized forklifts are then left to concentrate on the high stacking operations forwhich they were designed. To accomplish productive movement of materials, one more important factor must be consid- ered. The operator must be a skilled and responsible person. This expertise should not be solely based on his ability to drive, but on his ability to identify and understand the various pieces of equipment related to his job. Certain operation and maintenance procedures have been covered in greater depth in a series of video tapes which are available from Tug Manufacturing Corporation. These video tapes include the foliowing: MA-1 Proper Operation C148 Ford 300 L.P.
