Tug Axis 5T—Operating Manual
11
Unhitching
Always make sure the trolley is on a flat level surface and apply the castor brakes
(if fitted) or chock the trolley wheels.
1. Unhook the hitch release handle by pulling towards operator to unlock the hitch.
2. Carefully drive the tug forward away from the trolley.
Steering
The tiller arm provides easy steering. The tug with an attached trolley can be
manoeuvred through tight areas.
This unit’s power transmission system is a transaxle arrangement.
Obstruction or resistance to one wheel will cause driving power to be
transmitted through to the wheel that is free. This may cause the tug to spin
out of control. Please ensure a clear and clean path ahead when operating
the tug.
Charging
Ensure regular recharging of batteries (charging overnight after a day’s usage is
recommended). Irregular charging may cause the batteries to prematurely fail.
Leaving a machine in storage without charge for periods greater than a month can also
lead to premature battery failure. This is not covered under warranty.
For detailed charging procedures refer to Appendix 2. Misuse of the battery will void
warranty.
Only use the battery charger supplied with this tug.
The automatic features of the supplied charger ensures that the sealed gel
batteries are not overcharged, and only a minimum amount of gas, if any at
all, are expelled during charging.
