5. OPERATION
5.1 General inspection before operation
General inspection is effective to find the malfunctions or faults on this tugger. Check the
following items before operation.
DO NOT USE THE TUGGER IF ANY MALFUNCTION IS FOUND.
• Check for scratches, deformation or cracks.
• Check the vertical creep of the tugger.
• Check the smooth movement of the wheels.
• Check the function of the emergency brake.
• Check if all bolts and nuts are tightened firmly
• Visual check if there are any broken electric wires.
• Check that the load is safe and not overloaded
• Check if there is safety hazard around the tugger before starting
General rules cannot be written to cover every possible situation that may arise with each job
function, task, or procedure. Therefore, certain definite responsibilities rest with you. These
responsibilities include, protection of yourself, your fellow employees, along with proper care of
tools and equipment. You are also responsible for reporting unsafe conditions, equipment, or
operation to the proper authorities.
5.2 Indoor and outdoor use
Similar to an electric wheelchair, you are generally permitted to use the tugger inside of
buildings, airports, shopping malls, stores, theaters, etc. Doors can be a challenge when using
the tugger. Approach each door slowly making sure that the rear wheels will make it through
the door opening. The tugger cannot go into door narrower than 24 inches (62cm).
The tugger should only be ridden on Paved pavement. It is not designed for off -road
conditions. Do not use the tugger in rain or snow nor drive it through puddles of water. Slightly
uneven surfaces should be approached at a reduced speed and in a direct frontal position and
may require lifting or walking the tugger around the surface. Please keep in mind that the small
wheels cannot roll over objects higher than 2 inches (5cm) and you may fall if you attempt to do
so.
Always be alert to the area around your driving path to avoid hurting people or hitting objects!
5.3 Power On/Off (See Fig. 13)
For the power supply of the tugger, turn
the power switch to the “I” position(A)
for the power-on state, and hit the
“O” position(B) for the power-off state.
Fig. 13

For the power supply of the console, the red knob in left hand
side is the power switch. Push on it, power is On. Push on
again, power is off. (See Fig. 14)
5.4 BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR (See Fig. 15)
LED on battery also shows battery capacity:
1. One LED: 0~40% battery capacity.
2. Two LED: 40%~70% battery capacity.
3. Three LED: 70%~100% battery capacity.
Soft Riding Condition. When the battery is nearly depleted,
a “soft” riding condition can occur. A “soft” riding condition
means the tugger can move forward at lower speed
compared with fully charged battery. When this happens,
turn the tugger back on and drive the tugger under low
speed until you can recharge the battery.
5.5 Forward/Reverse Swtich (See Fig. 16)
Control knob in left hand side. Push upward, tugger driving
direction is forward. Push downward, driving direction is
reverse. It is normal that you engage the tugger after one
second when switch between forward/reverse. This one
second is the protection of electrical system.
Always be alert to the area around your driving path to avoid
hurting people or hitting objects！
Reversing the tugger is allowed only when nothing is being
towed. Do not reverse backwards when towing multiple trailers,
turn forward and make a U-turn！
Always bring the unit to a complete stop before shifting from
forward to reverse or from reverse to forward.
5.6 Accelerator (See Fig. 17)
Use the right thumb to control the accelerator，Slowly push the
accelerator knob to control the driving speed until reach the
desired speed. If the accelerator knob is back to the neutral
position, the controller slows the tugger until it stops.
【WRANING】Never operate at speeds that are not consistent
with operating conditions. Always limit speed to ensure adequate
time for braking in an emergency.
5.7 Turn
It is essential to slow down to a reasonably slow speed before initiating a turn. Use extreme
caution when turning on slanted or uneven surfaces. Occasionally you may find yourself
negotiating a curve or corner too fast and the inner rear wheel starts to lift off the ground. If this
happens, immediately reduce your speed, lessen the steering angle and shift your upper body
toward the wheel that is lifting off the ground.
Always be alert to the area around your driving path to avoid hurting people or hitting objects！

5.8 Brake & Parking (See Fig. 18)
The left brake handle is controlled mechanical brake
which lock the brake in the right rear wheel. When
actuated brake handle, It will slow the tugger down
until it comes to a complete stop. Braking performance
depends on road conditions and the load conditions
and speed of the tugger. Release the brake and the
tugger will be free again. Also, there is parking brake
at front of handle. While actuated brake handle, press
the parking brake, the right rear wheel is locked, and
tugger is in parking situation.In a safe, controlled
environment, please familiarize yourself with the braking distance of the tugger at different
speeds before operating near intersections, pedestrians and other obstacles.
Do not drive or park the tugger laden for a long time on ramps. Park the tugger on firm and
level ground.
Operators are not allowed to leave the tugger for a long time without power supply.
6. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
6.1 CHARGING
1. Turn the tugger power off.
2. Securely plug the charger into the charge port, and plug to power supply.
3. Connect battery to charger.
4. A solid red light on the charger indicates the battery is charging. A solid green light indicates
the battery is fully charged.
5. Remove the plug from the power supply.
6. You will not damage the battery by riding the tugger until the battery is fully discharged and
the tugger motor shuts down.
Use approved and from your dealer released original spare parts.
Charging place must be ventilated and equips with fire extinguishers.
6.2 Brakes Maintenance
1. Check the oil level in the oil cup from time to time. If it is too low or the brake does not brake,
you need to open the oil cup cover and add brake oil.
2. If there is a brake that does not brake, replace the brake pads.
3. If there is a brake that does not brake, check whether the oil circuit is damaged, and if it is
damaged, it needs to be replaced.
4. If the brake does not brake, check whether the oil pipe joint is leaking or loose, and if so,
replace the gasket or fasten the bolt.
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to enter eyes and penetrate
skin. If fluid gets in eyes or skin, flush with large quantities of water and seek medical
attention.
• Wear eye protection when servicing hydraulic components or systems.
• Keep all hoses and connections in good serviceable condition. Check before start-up and
periodically during operation.
• Do not investigate for leaks with hands. Use a large piece of cardboard.
