Introduction

Welcome
Welcome to the growing family of EAGLE tractor operators. The tractor was built with

the operator's safety, comfort and ease of operation in mind. We hope you agree and
enjoy your EAGLE experience.

Purpose & Use of Manual
This manual is designed as a quick guide to familiarize you with the correct and safe

operation of your Eagle vehicle as well as to inform you of the preventative mainte­nance and servicing recommendations of the manufacturer.

Your EAGLE vehicle was designed to do very specific tasks. For that reason, it will
look, feel, drive and function differently than over-the-road trucks and automobiles, as
well as various other types of vocational vehicles. It is the operator’s responsibility to
operate this equipment in a safe and prudent (good sound judgment) manner. Be alert,
your and other’s safety is involved.

The descriptions and specifications contained in this manual were in effect at the time
the manual was printed. EAGLE INDUSTRIAL TRUCK, LLC. Reserves the right to dis­continue models at any time and/or to change specifications, designs or components
used without notice and without incurring obligations.

The Threeagle
October 1, 2006. Eagle Tugs (EAGLE) warrants that the Eagle TT-series tow tractors will be
free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 3 years or 3,000 operating
hours, (except for the electrical and cooling systems which are 3 months or 500 hours), from
date of delivery to the first customer (or first use), whichever comes first. Written notice of any
claimed defect must be given to EAGLE within the warranty period and within thirty (30) days
after such defect is discovered. Liability under this warranty is limited to either replacing or re­pairing, at EAGLE's election, any part or parts deemed defective after examination by EAGLE
or an Authorized Service Representative. Any EAGLE machine or any of its parts returned by
customer to EAGLE or an Authorized Service Representative via prepaid transportation, and
which is found to be defective, will be repaired or replaced and returned to customer prepaid.
On the other hand, should a part be found not defective, inspection and handling charges may
be charged to the customer or Authorized Service Representative by EAGLE.

This warranty does not extend to the tires and batteries as these are warranted directly to the
user by their respective manufacturer and not by EAGLE or the Authorized Service
Representative.
