Loading:
Position the ball of the tug under the receiver of the trailer and stop. Then either crank the
trailer down onto the tug (Manual) or push the button to raise the ball up into the receiver and lift the
tongue of the trailer up into the air (Automatic). Do not hold the button when the cylinder is maxed
out on stroke. This can cause damage to the cylinder motor and electronic circuits.
Operating Instructions
Step 1:
Prior to the first use, plug the
charger cable into a 110V outlet or
extension cord and charge the batteries
fully as indicated by the green light at the
top of the charger. The orange light
indicates batteries are charging. Keep the
battery charger plugged in between use.
See the battery charger manual for more
information.
Step 2:
Plug in the trailer electric to the
plug on the tug labeled “Surge Brake By-
Pass” and this will not allow the surge
brakes to lock up when pushing the trailer in reverse.
Step 3:
Turn switch at end of handle to the “On”
position. Select “FWD” or “REV” and slowly press
the thumb throttle to slowly begin movement of the
tug. Begin movement as slowly as possible to
initiate momentum.
General Maintenance
Tire Pressure:
The tire pressure can range from
30 psi for lighter trailers to the maximum tire pressure of 70 psi for heavier trailers. It should be
reduced for added traction for lighter trailers. Lower pressures improve traction.
Batteries:
Keep the batteries fully charged. The battery performance will diminish measurably as
the ambient air temperature drops.
Transaxle:
This is a sealed unit and should not require maintenance or fluid.
Drive Wheel Bearings:
Permanently lubricated.
Caster Zerk Fittings:
Needs to be lubed periodically to ensure ease of caster wheel steering.
