Assembly & Operating Instructions
MODEL: TT-5W-SD-GM
Braking too abruptly or moving too fast can seriously
damage the differential ring gear. This is considered
abuse and is not covered by the transaxle warranty.
Airtug, LLC is not responsible for damage sustained
when proper clearance is not maintained between the
tug and its surroundings.
Always leave the trailer jack just off the ground when
moving for safety. Tandem and Triple-axle trailers
may try to move against the turn after stopping and
spring back. Ensure there is no torsion of tires
against each other for safety.
WARNING:
This tug is shipped WITHOUT gas or oil in the engine. Using the 10W-30 Oil
provided, fill to the "Full" mark on the dipstick. Fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline
(Non ethanol).
Engine Operation:
Push the throttle all the way forward to "Choke" the engine. Then, press the
starter button by foot located on the tug frame behind the engine. The engine is stopped by pulling
the throttle all the way back. Use a low amp battery charger (available at Airtug 216-941-9781) to
maintain a fully charged battery between use and especially in colder environments.

Tug Operations:

The twist grip handle operates the hydrostatic transaxle. Rotating the twist
grips forward or aft moves the Airtug accordingly. Rotating the grip slightly in either direction will
move the tug very slowly. As you increase the rotation of the handle grips, the tug speed increases.
Maximum torque is applied at very slow speeds ensuring excellent maneuverability while rotating the
hand grips fully results in maximum speed. The hydrostatic transaxle provides smooth variable
speed control throughout the entire range of grip motion. The twist grip is spring loaded to "return -to-
brake position." Nevertheless, it is not recommended to walk away from the tug while the engine is
running. While moving the trailer, braking is effected by gradually returning the grip to the neutral or
brake position. Even while moving the trailer on a downgrade, the tug will only go as fast as you have
the twist grip turned. Braking too abruptly with a heavy trailer or moving too fast can seriously
