the twist grip turned. Braking too abruptly with a heavy dumpster or moving too fast can seriously
damage the differential ring gear. This is considered abuse and is not covered by the transaxle
warranty. When moving over the door weather edge or door rail, it’s recommended to have a little
momentum. Ramps or steps can be purchased from Airtug, if necessary, to overcome high door sills
or rough pavement.
It is recommended for safety, best practice, and for traction to begin movement as slowly as possible
to put the dumpster in motion. There is also a sticker on the handle for other recommendations for
best practices and improved traction. Please note that if the weight on the tongue of the trailer is not
set up properly that additional weight may be needed on the drive wheels of the tug. Airtug® sells
additional weight packs if you are having problems with traction and have tried all the
recommendations on the handle.
Loading:
Position the ball of tug under the receiver of the trailer and stop. Push the button to raise
the ball up into the ball receiver and lift the tongue of the trailer up into the air. Remember to always
close the trailer “clasp” over the ball before moving the trailer for safety.
Assembly Instructions
Step 1: HANDLE
Slide the handle through the “U” bolts (take
care while sliding the wires through) (leave the nuts loose for
now to allow the handle to slide into the “U” bolts).
Tighten the FOUR (4) “U” bolt nuts securely under the tug frame
(9/16” socket).
Step 2:
Attach the transmission cable to the handle as shown. Tighten
the mounting nuts with an 11/16” wrench. Attach the socket at the end
of the cable to the ball on the twist grip. Then attach the wires coming
out of the bottom of the handle to the battery leads(quick disconnects).
Lastly run the longer two wires under the right side of the engine and
connect them to the mating connections coming from the cylinder.
