The

indicates the status of the battery.
It is located on top of the main
body and to the center of the
machine cover. As the battery
discharges, display line shifts from
right to left.
Always check the gauge before
using the device; make sure that
the battery is charged before using
the tugger.

The belly switch protects the operator from injury
while driving the EPT in reverse. When pressed, the
truck will change direction, i.e. move forward, for
approximately 3 seconds; after 3 seconds it will stop
completely. If the belly switch becomes jammed or
stuck, the stacker will move forward (away from the
operator) for at most 3 seconds; the control circuit will
remain disabled until reset.
To reset the circuit, either raise the handle to the
fully vertical position (or simply release the
handle), or press it downwards to the fully
horizontal position.

ONTROLLERS
To drive the E-TUG in the
forward direction, rotate the
movement control forward with
your thumbs as indicated by the
solid arrow superimposed on
photograph below. To move the
pallet truck in reverse, rotate the
control wheel in the opposite
direction, which is shown with a
dashed arrow.
The degree of rotation determines the speed of
movement, so the farther you press the wheel in
either direction, the faster the E-TUG-HD will travel,
up to a maximum speed of ~3.7mph when unloaded
or ~2.8 mph when loaded to capacity. Simply by
releasing the movement control, the E-TUG-HD will
decelerate to a complete stop.
