Please ensure you are familiar with the correct operation
of the Warequip P2GO TURNMATE
May 2013

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Warequip P2GO Turnmate.
It is important to read and follow all instructions and safety information contained in this Operation
Manual prior to use.
Warequip hopes the Turnmate will make your job safer, easier and more fun. The Turnmate can boost the
productivity in your organization and reduce injuries caused by repetitive pushing and pulling a manual
trolley. Therefore, you will create a happy and safe working environment and minimize the skyrocketing
workers compensation insurance costs.
The Turnmate is a battery powered mobile platform truck used for moving materials, parts or machinery
from one location to another without having to manually carry the load or push a wheeled trolley. These
heavy push or pull trolley applications can occur anywhere, a dock at a marina, to distributing the
company coffee machine around the plant, garage or workshop.
If these trolleys need constant pushing or pulling from one location to another and cause fatigue to the
employee moving the load, then it is the perfect application for our battery powered product.

Operation
1. Turn ON Power
Insert the power key into the switch lock and turn clockwise to the “ON” position.
All the battery display lights should be on indicating the batteries are full and ready to
work.
2. Check the Status
The status light should be on steadily if the electric and driving systems are OK.
If it flashes, check the clutch engagement first located near the drive wheels.
3. Forward Motion
Start you P2GO Turnmate. Stand behind the tiller and hold the ‘bull-horns’ with two
hands. Look straight ahead. Press the upward throttle lever with your thumbs slowly to
start moving forward. The speed should increase as you press more.
4. Stop
Slowly releasing your thumbs from the throttle lever will reduce the speed and stop the
cart.
5. Emergency Stop
Just simply release your thumbs quickly. The Turnmate should stop within 4.5 feet at full
forward speed.
6. Reverse Motion
Press the downward throttle lever with your thumbs slowly to start moving in reverse.
7. Forward Steering
Look straight ahead. When you need to turn right, you turn the ‘Caster’ to the left. Vise a
Versa for the left turn.
8. Reverse Steering
The operation is the opposite to forward steering.
9. Move Manually (Free Wheeling)
Manual: You push or pull the Turnmate by disengaging the clutch in the transaxle.
Power: You can push or pull the Turnmate by pressing the yellow free-wheel button by
your right hand finger and operating by your left hand.
WARNING
Before you operate, practice in an open area for at least one hour to get familiar with the Turnmate and
gain the operation skills. The brake may not be effective when engaged on inclines greater than the grade
with allowed load. Be alert!
EMERGENCY STOP
In case of out-of-control, turn the power off or pull safety button immediately!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warequip disclaims all responsibility for any personal injury or property damage which may occur as a
result of improper or unsafe use of its products. The following guidelines are intended to assist you in the
safe operation of your P2GO Turnmate. Should you have any questions about the correct operation of
your P2GO Turnmate, please contact Warequip for assistance.
Your Turnmate can negotiate grass, gravel, dirt and sand surfaces as well as hard paved or carpeted
surfaces. However, extra caution should be taken when operating your unit on uneven surfaces other than
flat surfaces.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Electrically powered equipment may be susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Sources such
as Radio Stations, TV Stations, Amateur Radio Transmitters, Two Way Radios and Cellular Phones all
emit electromagnetic energy (EM). It is highly unlikely but in extreme cases where the intensity of EM is
very high it may cause the powered equipment to release its brakes or move by itself. Powered equipment
has a certain immunity level which in most cases is adequate. If you feel EMI may be a risk then you
should conduct a site specific test and risk assessment to ensure the EM is within the products immunity
level.
If you notice any unintentional movement or brake release we recommend turning the unit off
immediately taking note of any high powered communications device in the area.
In Summary
DO NOT try to climb sharp curbs
DO NOT drive over obstacles exceeding 5cm in height
DO NOT make an abrupt change at high speed or while travelling on an incline
DO NOT attempt to make a fast turn on flat surfaces
DO NOT climb inclines greater than 8 degrees or a rise of 2 meters in 10 meters
DO NOT back onto uneven surfaces or inclines
DO NOT attempt to operate your unit in a stalled condition, such as travelling up too steep n incline. This
may cause the circuit breaker or thermal cut out to trip, rendering your unit temporarily immobile.
DO NOT operate your unit when the red battery indicator light is flashing
BE AWARE of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-help or mobile two-way radios
and try to avoid coming close to them.

Battery Charging
To ensure the best performance and maximum battery life, we recommend frequent battery charging.
Your P2GO Turnmate comes with an on-board battery charger for your ease and convenience.
The console battery display makes charging simple and easy.
Follow these steps for battery charging.
Only when the battery is properly charged is the right-most green LED lit. As the battery’s state-of-
charge decreases, successive LEDs light up, only one on at a time. The 3rd from left red LED flashes
indicating ‘energy reserve’ (70% depth of discharge). The 3 left-most LEDs alternately flash, indicating
‘empty’ (805 depth of discharge).
2. On a level dry surface, turn off the power key and plug the AC cord into the charger socket located on
the fibre-glass compartment. Plug the other end of the AC cord into a grounded wall outlet.
3. Charge the battery for 6-8 hours depending on the usage before charging. Disconnect the AC cord,
insert key into tiller and check if all green lights are on.
4. There is no possible way to overcharge the battery since the charging voltage in the floating stage is set
constant. In general, you may start charging after work and disconnect the next morning.
WARNING
You must turn OFF power before charging. Otherwise it may damage the electric circuit.

Maintenance Schedule
In order to obtain the best performance and last its service lift, please maintain your unit according to the
following schedule and instructions.
DAILY
1. Test brake effectiveness before you drive
2. Recharge batteries fully every night
WEEKLY
1. Check tyre pressure –Pressure should be 40-50 psi
2. Check and tighten the throttle screw
MONTHLY
1. Check battery condition. Clean battery terminals if necessary
2. Check all electrical wire connectors to eliminate loose connections
3. Tighten all exposed screws and nuts
4. Check wheel bearings by spinning tyres and checking for free rotation
Throttle Adjustment
1. Release the clutch level, thus the motor can rotate freely
2. Note on the throttle control potentiometer, when the control lever is swinging, how the mount
plate retain one end of the spring while the control bracket pulls the other end of the spring in the
direction of rotation. As the lever rotates in the opposite direction, the other spring end is pulled in
the opposite direction.
3. With key in and speed setting at low, rotate the throttle lever until you just hear the brake release
click and motor starts running. Notice the angle rotated between the lever and the P2GO
Turnmate.
4. Rotate the throttle lever in the opposite direction till just brake release clicks, notice the angle
rotated between the lever and P2GO Turnmate in this direction.
5. If the angles are not identical, loosen control bracket screws, rotate potentiometer shaft and few
degrees by using a flat screwdriver and re-tighten it.
6. Repeat until the reverse, neutral and forward are in proper ranges.
7. Make sure throttle control lever is parallel to tiller handle. If the lever is not parallel, full range
rotation in one direction will not be possible, resulting in loss of speed in that direction.
