Tug Tough 10T—Operating Manual

Introduction

The battery powered industrial Tug Tough 10T allows an operator to effortlessly

move heavy wheeled loads and equipment, heavy duty construction, vehicles and

aircraft.

The Tug Tough 10T is a battery powered industrial truck for towing heavy trolleys. It

simply hooks on to your existing trolley with a lock-tow 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.

This heavy duty model includes the latest developments in DC geared motors with

automatic dynamic braking, as well as a high capacity motor controller.

Tug Tough 10T—Operating Manual

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 ash. 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 conned 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 tted into the charger socket mounted on the body panel of

the Tug, next to the tiller post.

Brakes

When the throttle lever is released, the unit is slowed electrically by dynamic braking

until the machine and load comes to a complete stop.

Horn

The small yellow button on the console is a horn button. Push to sound the horn,

release to turn off.

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 battery isolator key is in the closed position (if tted).

5. The speed governing dial is set at ‘low’, or where desired by the operator.

6. The brakes operate correctly when the throttle lever is released.

7. The battery indicator shows adequate charge.

8. There is no visible damage to the unit.

9. Back-off button works correctly.

Tug Tough 10T—Operating Manual

Hitching to a trolley

This Tug has a variety of hitches. In all cases, ensure that the trolley it is 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.

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.

This Tug is not designed for use on inclined surfaces and doing so may

pose a risk of accident or injury. Use this Tug on level ground only.

TUGTOUGH10TNH

Unhitching

Always make sure the trolley is on a at level surface and apply the castor brakes

(if tted) or chock the trolley wheels.

1. Unhook the hitch via the release handle.

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 relatively 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.

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.
