Introduction
Move your existing manual trolleys with the battery powered Tug Compact.
The Tug Compact simply hooks on to your existing trolley with a simple hitch. This
converts your heavy trolley into a powerful, easy to move motorised unit. Productivity is
greatly increased, and back or shoulder strain is eliminated.
The Tug Compact allows an operator to eortlessly move heavy trolleys:
§Through long corridors, factory aisles, round tight corners.
§Up and down ramps,
§On and o lifts.
Features
§24 Volt DC power.
§Variable speed drive unit.
§Electro-magnetic park brake.
§Travel speed—up to 5 kph.
§Robust steel chassis.
§Tiller handle steering that folds up to reduce space when not in use.
§Programmable motor controller.
§Automatic charger.

Controls
Key switch
The key switch must be turned clockwise to switch the unit on. When ON, the LED
status indicator will be illuminated. If a fault occurs with the electronics, this LED light
will ash an error code (refer to Appendix 2). 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 and 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 unit will travel backwards, until
released, to avoid pinning the operator against an obstacle.
Only use the emergency buttons in an emergency.
Direction selector
This determines the direction of travel. Push the button corresponding to the desired
travel direction (forward/reverse).
Throttle lever
This lever provides variable speed control from zero up to 100% of the governed speed.
Releasing the lever stops the unit.
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 conned 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.
8
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 plate for the unit’s safe working load, located on the body adjacent to
the tiller post.

Driving instructions
Safety check
Before using the 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.
Hitching to a trolley
The Tug can be tted with a variety of hitches.
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.
Towing a trolley with castors in poor condition can overload the Tug,
and cause damage not covered under warranty.
Steering
The tiller arm provides easy steering. The Tug with an attached trolley can be
manoeuvred through tight areas.
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.
Unhitching
Always make sure the trolley is on a at level surface. Apply the castor brakes (if tted)
or chock the wheels of the trolley before releasing it from the Tug.
10
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 4.
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.
