I. Important Precauons
Read the following safety precautions before operating or servicing your equipment.
Follow correct lockout/tagout procedures.
Prevent personnel from leaning on equipment and containers or placing their arms, hands, legs or
any bodily member in pinch-point areas throughout the system.
Instruct personnel on the proper placement of product on the equipment. Failure to place containers
or loads in the engineered locations may hinder the operation of the equipment or cause structural
damage.
Never walk or climb into or onto the product while it is in motion.
Never alter the equipment in any way unless authorized by a qualified employee of Align.
Thoroughly read the manual and understand how to use the PTT6.
The operator should wear protective footwear at all times.
Keep the floors clean and smooth for efficient operation.
Keep the weight on the drive wheel while moving a load.
When driving the PTT6, try not to create any sudden stops / changes in direction.
Stop the unit slowly with the accelerator rather than letting go of the handle.

II. Safety
PTT6 Safety
Charge the batteries after using the PTT6 Tugger.
Always place the female coupling (1a) at the correct
height. It’s important that the coupling is at the correct
angle and is firmly fastened to your trailer.
Raise / lift the coupling until the casters have enough
ground clearance (1.5”).
Only lift the coupling high enough to perform the transport.
Load Placement
The image below shows the correct setup that should be used with the PTT6, as well as where to
place the load. These trailers should consist of one wheel axle. When the trailer and the PTT6’s cou-
pling are attached to each other, and the PTT6’s arm is raised, the trailer leg will be lifted off
the ground.
As mentioned above, trailers should consist of one wheel axle. If there are two axles and the floor is
uneven, the front wheel will be lifted up by the PTT6 and overload the wheels. Uneven floors put the
trailer coupling at risk of unfastening and can disconnect from the trailer.

trailer coupling at risk of unfastening and can disconnect from the trailer.
The PTT6 has a maximum load capacity of 6,614 lbs on the drive wheel under normal conditions.
The load capacity depends on the configuration of the load. Max capacity could be under 6,614 lbs.
depending on if there is a swing bearing or a lift cylinder. Contact Hedin USA if you unsure of your lift
capacity.
The drive wheel needs ground force on it to make sure friction between the floor and wheel provides
the traction required to perform the transport.
The load center has to be in between the trailer’s wheels and the PTT6’s drive wheel. If not, there is
a chance the load could overturn.
Heavier loads must be balanced on the trailer - see picture below.

IV. Sequence of Operaons
As operator, you are responsible that no one is in harm’s way whilst you are
operating the transporter.
Starting the Equipment
Turn the key switch on the handle when it is in its upright position.
Check the battery indicator to make sure the PTT6 is charged and ready for use.
Push the “lift cylinder down” button to assure that the cylinder is in its lowest position.

IV. Sequence of Operaons
As operator, you are responsible that no one is in harm’s way whilst you are
operating the transporter.
Connecting the PTT6 to a Trailer
Ensure the coupling between the PTT6 and the trailer is properly connected.
When the lift is performed, do not lift higher than necessary as it puts additional strain on the
lift cylinder.
The casters at the back of the PTT6 will lift from 1.5” from the floor. This applies the load to the drive
wheel for easy maneuverability.
The coupling must be attached vertically so the casters in the back of the PTT6 are in the air when it
has been connected to the trailer.
If the trailer is fixed to the PTT6, the casters can be removed to avoid becoming stuck on
uneven floors.
Connecting the PTT6 to a Trailer
The direction and speed of the PTT6 is controlled and adjusted by the accelerator at the top of the
handle.
A safety switch is located on the handle. When triggered, the PTT6 will stop and take a small leap
forward to prevent the pinning of the operator.

Pinch Points
Be careful of pinch points. They can occur:
• Between the PTT6 and moving or fixed objects
• During lifting—between the floor and the PTT6 or between the object being connected and the
PTT6.
• When operating the hydraulic cylinder.
• While driving the PTT6. Be cautious of surroundings.

Charging the Batteries
Always switch the battery charger off before connecting / disconnecting the battery cables.
The batteries are to be charged a minimum once a week to maintain their capacity over time.
The charging cable is to be connected to the outlet on top of the PTT6.
“Charging” is indicated by a yellow light.
“Charge Complete” is indicated by a green light.
The charger has an extra green light which indicates that the charging current (1 Ah) is not reached
in the maximum charging time of 20 hours to prevent overcharging and harm to the battery.
