1. Determine Condition of Floor or Other Supporting Surface: Inspect the floor or other surfaces prior to use.
The supporting surface must be smooth and dry so choose a route that avoids obstacles, spills, and surface
damage.
Casters might become stuck in gaps or cracks in the surface, which could cause the tugger
to stop suddenly. A sudden stop can cause the load to shift and the load and truck might tip over.
2. Inspect the Tugger & Perform a Functions Test:
Inspection Prior to Use:
ALWAYS inspect the unit before you use it. Begin the inspection by removing all debris found on the surface
and housing, and then:
DO NOT use the tugger if you discover any damage or abnormalities. Tag the unit "Out-of-
Service" and report the problem[s] to authorized maintenance personnel.
Functions Test:
Verify that the unit works properly. Drive the tugger to a location where the following tests can be performed
without contacting overhead obstructions or items on the ground:
1. DDrive the tugger in reverse at low speed and while driving press the belly switch. Tugger should immidiately
drive in the opposite direction for ~ 3 seconds and then stop. Reset the control yoke.
2. Drive the tugger in both forward and reverse directions for a few seconds.
3. Test the hornn.
4.
Verify that the control yoke automatically returns to the vertical position when released.
Only use the tugger if all mechanisms function normally. If [a] malfunctions occurred, park the
tugger in a safe location, tag it "Out-of-Service" and then report the malfunctions to maintenance personnel.
Operation:
Step 1: Turn on the power. Pull the red E-stop button up.
Step 2: Pull the red E-Stop button up to disengage the service brake.
Step 3: Set the speed to slow or fast by pressing slow/fast button
NOTE: The E-TUG-HD uses magnetic brakes, which engage
when the throttled is turned forward/reverse.
