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.
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.
11. Avoid extending ramps without toe boards
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.
2. Do not operate the machine while riding on the
machine.
3. Do not allow others to ride on the machine.
When operating the machine in reverse and
4.
walking backward, watch behind you and be
careful not to slip or trip.
Do not use the machine when visibility is poor
5.
because there is a risk of striking obstacles.
6. When operating the machine on rough ground,
decrease speed and exercise caution.
7. When using the machine, avoid soft ground
to prevent 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.
11. Be careful not to entangle the cords with the
load or obstacles.
Operation on slopes
1. Do not cross on slopes.
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.
6. As the view is 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 mode 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 objects
1. Do not overload objects. When loading
objects, be sure to follow the instructions and
load limits in the manual.
2. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.
