13. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure before
using. Locking screws on the wheels, bucket and frames
must be secure to prevent unwanted movement of these
adjustable parts of the machine.
14. 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.
15. Never operate your machine in an overstacked
condition. Stacking material above the bucket rim or over
the sides of the bucket can cause the machine to be out
of balance and control.
16. 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.
17. Always maintain a firm grip on handles. Loss of control
can increase the risk of personal injury.
18. 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".
19. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this machine.
Operation Safety
1. When operating the machine, stand behind the
machine and hold the handles firmly.
2. Do not allow others to ride on the machine.
3. When operating the machine in reverse and walking
backward, watch behind you and be careful not to slip
or trip.
4. Do not use the machine when visibility is poor because
there is a risk of striking obstacles.
5. When operating the machine on rough ground,
decrease speed and exercise caution.
6. When using the machine, avoid soft ground to prevent
overturn due to the shoulder of the road collapsing.
7. Do not operate the machine on upward slopes greater
than 15º.
8. If you find any 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.
9. Before operating the machine, make sure that the
carrier lock is fully engaged. If it's not, there is a risk of
accident or injury as the carrier or bucket may be tilted
and the objects may fall when going downhill.
Slope Operation
Slopes are major factors related to slip and fall accidents,
which can result in severe injury. Operation on all slopes
requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
walk on it.
1. Do not cross along slopes.
2. Be sure to decrease speed and exercise caution.
3. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the
machine on slopes.
4. If the loads become less stable on slopes, firmly
secure the loads with ropes.
5. If the machine becomes unstable due to the condition
of the road, keep the load to a minimum.
6. To avoid the view being obscured on slopes, keep the
height of the load to a minimum.
7. Never park the machine on steep slopes. Park the
machine on flat ground, pull the brake lever and lock
the brake, and then turn the power off.
8. Do not change the direction or speed on steep slopes.
9. Do not release the switch trigger on upward slopes.
The machine may go in reverse and cause an accident.
10. Make sure that the remaining battery capacity is
enough before operating on slopes. If the remaining
battery capacity is not enough, charge the battery or
replace it with a charged one.
Loading/Dumping Safety
1. Do not overload the carrier. When loading objects, be
sure to follow the instructions and add load within the load
of the wheelbarrow.
2. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.
3. Load the objects within the carrier or bucket. If the
objects protrude from the carrier or bucket, there is a risk
of accidents due to the objects falling or making contact
with other objects or obstacles.
4. Be sure that the height of loaded objects are below
eye level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous because
the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk of overturning
and injury if the load is unbalanced.
5. To avoid possible overturning and injury, load the
objects on the carrier or bucket evenly.
6. Before loading the objects or operating the machine,
make sure that the lock lever is fully pulled down and
completely locked.
7. To keep the weight balance, load heavy objects first.
8. Load and unload objects only on flat ground.
9. When lifting and tilting the carrier or bucket, hold
the handles and frame firmly, and work with a stable
posture.
10. When dumping, be alert for unexpected movement of
the machine. It is recommended to brace the machine by
using the handles and braking functions.
