Tug Tough 10T—Operating Manual
7
Key switch
The key switch must be turned clockwise to switch the unit on. When ON, the LED
status indicator will be illuminated and the strobe light will flash. It is important to note
that the unit should be switched off 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 buttons
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-off 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-off function, toggle the direction selector.
Only use the emergency buttons in an emergency.
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.
Direction selector
Toggle the switch to select the desired direction of travel (forward/reverse).
Speed governor
The speed governor limits the speed of travel. It can be adjusted from minimum (slow
walk) to maximum (brisk walk). It is recommended that you set the speed governor to
minimum when learning to operate this Tug, or when towing loads in confined spaces.
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.
Charger socket
The plug on the charger is fitted into the charger socket mounted on the body panel of
the Tug, next to the tiller post.
