3. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and
unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such
as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and
unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,
may cause the machine to lose traction and may
adversely affect steering, braking and stability.
Do not operate the machine on excessively
4.
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi-
mum recommended grade and side grades may
increase the risk of instability and may adversely
affect the ability to stop safely.
5. When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face
of slopes, never up or down, and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-
6.
ping, loading and unloading and never leave
machine unattended on a slope. The machine is
more unstable when resting on a slope than when
resting on a level surface.
7. When stopping on slopes, face the machine
uphill or downhill and block unbraked wheels.
The machine is less stable when facing across a
slope. Unbraked wheels, especially those of the
castor-type, can potentially turn and roll downhill
even while the front wheel parking brake is set.
8. When leaving the machine unattended, set park-
ing brake once the machine is located in a safe
stopping area. The parking brake prevents unwanted
movement of the front wheel and can improve stability.
Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and secure.
9.
In order to reduce the risk of injury, all ramps must
be clear of loose debris and strong enough to
withstand the weight of anticipated loads that will
be moved over them. They must have adequate
blocking underneath and to both sides to eliminate
deflections and side-to-side movement under load.
All ramps must be wide enough to have sure footing
while hauling loads across them.
10. Ensure the hopper is down and hoppers
and dump-gates are securely latched when
not dumping the load and when storing the
machine. Unlatched hoppers or dump-gates can
unexpectedly open or shift.
Avoid extending ramps without toe boards
11.
or railings over open spaces. Elevated open
spaces and open trenches invite accidental falls
and increase the potential for serious injury. Use
toe boards or railings on ramps over open spaces
to prevent driving the machine off the ramp.
12. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure
before using. Locking screws on the rear wheels
and open-type carrier front and side walls must be
secure to prevent unwanted movement of these
adjustable parts of the machine.
13. Never operate the machine in an overloaded
condition. Make sure the machine has the proper
capacity rating for the objects or materials that
have to be hauled. Excessive loads will make
the machine more difficult to maneuver and stop,
will increase stopping time and distance, and will
increase the risk of instability.
14. Never operate your machine in an over stacked
condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or
over the sides of the tray can cause the machine
to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.
15. Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.
Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely to shift
which can result in loss of stability and control.
16. Always maintain a firm grip on handles. Loss of
control can increase the risk of personal injury.
17. Remove safety key when not in use. The safety key
prevents unwanted, powered use of the machine, such as
by children or other untrained or unauthorized persons.
Without the key, electric power cannot be turned "on".
18. This machine cannot be used on public roads.
Use of the wheelbarrow on a public road is unlaw-
ful and could result in local jurisdiction penalties in
addition it could result in personal injury.
19. Use a sturdy plate with anti-slip and detach-
ment prevention function when loading and/
or unloading this machine for transportation,
or moving this machine between different
levels. Make sure the plate inclination does not
exceed 12°, and operate the machine slowly
and carefully. Unstable and quick operation
may result in overturn and/or falling.
20. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this machine.
Operation
1. When operating the machine, stand behind the
machine and hold the handles firmly.
Do not operate the machine while riding on the machine.
2.
3. Do not allow others to ride on the machine.
4. When operating the machine in reverse and
walking backward, watch behind you and be
careful not to slip or trip.
5. Do not use the machine when visibility is poor
because there is a risk of striking obstacles.
When operating the machine on rough ground,
6.
decrease speed and exercise caution.
When using the machine, avoid soft ground to prevent
7.
overturn due to the shoulder of the road collapsing.
8. Do not operate the machine on upward slopes
greater than 12°.
9. If you find an abnormality, stop the machine
on flat ground. Before inspecting the machine,
pull the brake lever and lock the brake, and
then turn the power off.
10. Before operating the machine, make sure that
the lock lever is fully pulled down and com-
pletely locked. If the lock is incomplete, there is a
risk of accident or injury as the carrier or bucket may
be tilted and the objects fall when going downhill.
Be careful not to entangle the cords with the
11.
load or obstacles.
Operation on slopes
Do not cross on slopes.
1.
2. Be sure to decrease speed and exercise caution.
3. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the
machine on slopes.
As the loads become less stable on slopes,
4.
firmly secure the loads with ropes.
5. As the machine becomes unstable depending
on the condition of the road, keep the load to a
minimum.
