11.
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 may
increase the risk of instability.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Always maintain a firm grip on handles. Loss of
control can increase the risk of personal injury.
15. Engage the lock-out system when not in use.
The lock-out system prevents unwanted, powered
use of the machine, such as by children or other
untrained or unauthorized persons. With the lock-
out system engaged, electric power cannot be
turned "on".
Hopper safety warnings
1.
Do not reach into the hopper mechanisms with
your hands, other parts of the body, or insert
any other objects into it while operating the
hopper. Contact with the hopper mechanism while
in use may increase the risk of serious personal
injury or death.
2.
When dumping, be alert for unexpected move-
ment of the machine, either moving backward
or the handles coming upward. It is recom-
mended to brace the machine by using braking
systems and operator control of the handles.
Service brake helps prevent unexpected move-
ment of the machine. Upward movement of the
handles can increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
Ensure the intended dumping zone and suffi-
3.
cient area around it is clear and safe for dump-
ing. Provide barriers to persons and property
as necessary to limit spread of dumped
materials. Dumped materials, such as rocks and
bricks, can quickly and easily spread or roll away
from the intended dumping zone and increase the
risk of serious personal injury or damaging nearby
property.
Additional Safety Instructions
1.
While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
2.
Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-
rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and
ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the
machine under load will help reduce losing control
of the machine.
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.
4.
Do not operate the machine on excessively
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.
6.
Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-
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.
When stopping on slopes, face the machine
7.
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
parking 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.
9.
Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and
secure. 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.
