Controls
Key switch
The key switch must be turned clockwise to switch the unit on. When the unit is on, the
LED status indicator will be illuminated and the strobe light will ash. It is important to
note that the unit should be switched o and the key removed, whenever it is not in use.
This eliminates the risk of unauthorised movement and also prevents an unnecessary
use of battery power.
Emergency stop button and emergency back-o button
The controls have two emergency buttons.
1. Emergency stop button—in an emergency, push this button to stop the unit.
To release, slightly twist the button and it will pop back up.
2. Emergency back-o button—when pressed, the tug will momentarily travel
backwards to avoid pinning the operator against an obstacle, and then stop if the
throttle lever is not released. If this button is pressed when the throttle is released,
the tug will immediately stop. To reset the back-o function, switch o and switch
back on).
Only use the emergency buttons in an emergency.
Direction selector
Toggle the switch to select the desired
direction of travel (forward/reverse).
Throttle lever
This lever provides variable speed control
from zero up to 100% of the governed speed.
Releasing the lever will cause the tug to
decelerate and stop within three seconds.
Speed selector
The speed selector will always start in the SLOW position. Select a speed that you are
comfortable using. The speed can be changed whilst driving. It is advisable that you
operate this unit at a slow speed when entering a conned area.
8
Battery level indicator
The battery level indicator indicates the amount of charge left in the batteries. When it
appears to be running low, return the unit to the closest charging station to charge the
batteries. Being aware of the level of charge of the batteries will eliminate the possibility
of running low on power whilst away from the charging station. Red light only indicates
no usable battery power remaining.
Horn (where tted)
Push to sound the horn, release to turn o.
Charger socket
The charger socket is located on the body panel of the unit, next to the tiller post.
Brakes
When the speed control lever is released, the unit is slowed electrically by dynamic
braking until the machine and load comes to a complete stop.
Capacity
Refer to the serial sticker for the unit’s safe working load, located on the body adjacent
to the tiller post.

Driving instructions
Safety check
Before using the powered tug, the operator should complete the following check:
1. The battery charger is not connected.
2. The direction selector works.
3. The emergency stop button is released.
4. The brakes operate correctly when the throttle lever is released.
5. The battery indicator shows adequate charge.
6. There is no visible damage to the unit.
7. Back-o button works correctly.
Hitching to a trolley
This tug is tted with an auto-latching hitch. Other hitches are also available.
1. Facing the tug, unhook the hitch release handle and move it backward.
This unlocks the auto-latching hitch.
1. Pull the hitch release
lever to unhook.
The trolleys’ hitch bar.
10
In all cases, ensure that the trolley being attached to has its brakes engaged (or chocked)
and is free from obstruction. Inspect the trolley and ensure that the trolley castors are in
good condition.
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the operator lead the tug and
trolley, rather than using the tug to “push” the trolley. This will ensure
that the operator has a safe unobstructed view ahead. This will also make
the tug and trolley easy to manoeuvre.
Towing a trolley with castors in poor condition can overload the tug,
and cause damage not covered under warranty.
This tug is not designed for use on inclined surfaces and doing so may
pose a risk of accident or injury. Use this Tug on level ground only.
2. Carefully reverse the tug back onto
the trolley’s tow bar until the tug hitch
sits over the tow bar.
3. Once aligned, move the tug forward.
This will automatically lock the tug hitch
over the trolley’s tow bar.
