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 conned area.

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.

Tug Axis 5T—Operating Manual

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.

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.
