this machine on a slope without supervision.
This machine is less stable when parked on a slope
than when parked on a level surface.
7. When stopping on a slope, turn the machine in
the direction facing up or down from the slope
and block the wheel using the electronic brake.
8. Do not leave this machine without supervision,
engage the brake as soon as the machine is
located in a safe stopping location. The brake
prevents unwanted motion of the front wheel and
may improve stability.
9. Ensure that ramps are clean, rigid and safe. In
order to reduce risks of injury, all ramps must be free
of loose materials and must be sufficiently strong
to bear the weight of the expected loads, which will
move over them. They must be sufficiently supported
from underneath and on both sides so that deflec-
tions and side to side movements are eliminated
when they are placed under load. All ramps must be
sufficiently wide to ensure the stability when loads
are transported.
10. Avoid extending ramps without utilizing
bracing boards or handrails over open spaces.
Elevated open spaces and uncovered excavations
may cause falls and increase the possibility of causing
serious injuries. Use bracing boards or handrails on
ramps passing over open spaces to prevent riding this
machine off the ramp.
11. Prior to use, ensure that all bolts are firmly
tightened.
12. Never use this machine if it is overloaded.
Ensure that this machine has a sufficient load bearing
capacity for the items or materials that it will be
transporting. Excessive loading will make steering
and stopping this machine more difficult, will extend
the time and distance for stopping and increase the
risk of instability.
13. Never use this machine with too much stacked
(loaded) material. Material that is stacked above
the side frames or exceeding the side frames may
cause the position of the centre of gravity of the
machine to change and thereby lead to a loss of cont-
rol over this machine.

14. To secure the load, use containers and faste-
ning elements. Loose and/or unsecured loads will
be more likely to shift/move, which could lead to
a loss of stability and control.
15. Constantly maintain a firm grip on the handles.
Loss of control may increase the risk of injury.
16. When this machine is not being used, turn it
off using the power switch and remove the
battery. Turning off the power switch will prevent
activating the electric drive, e.g. by children or other
untrained or unauthorised persons.
17. This machine may not be used on public roads.
Using this wheelbarrow on public roads is illegal and
could lead to penalties, furthermore, could cause
injury to persons.
18. When loading and/or unloading this machine for
the purpose of transporting or moving the machi-
ne between various levels, use rigid boards with
a non-slippery surface and with a function pre-
venting their separation. Ensure that the incline
of the board does not exceed 12° and operate the
machine slowly and carefully. Instability and fast
operation may lead to tipping over and/or a fall.
19. Do not repair or modify this machine.
OPERATION
1 When operating this machine, stand behind
this machine and hold it firmly by its handles.
2. Do not operate this machine while travelling on it.
3. Do not permit other persons to travel
on this machine.
4. When this machine is reversing and when wal-
king backwards, look behind yourself and be
careful not to slip or trip over.
5. Do not use this machine under poor visibility condi-
tions as this presents a risk of impacting obstacles.
6. When operating this machine on an uneven
surface, reduce its speed and be very careful.
7. When using this machine, avoid soft surfaces so
as to avoid tipping over as a result of a collapse
of the road shoulder.
74
8. Do not operate this machine on ascending slo-
pes with an incline greater than 20°.
9. In the event of any problem occurring, stop this
machine on a level surface. Prior to inspecting
this machine, engage the brake.
10. Ensure that cables do not get caught on loads
or obstacles.
USE ON SLOPES
1. Work perpendicular to the slope (along the
contour).
2. Ensure that you reduce the speed and be very
careful.
3. Be very careful when starting or stopping
on a slope.
4. Since loads are less stable on slopes, secure
them firmly using ropes.
5. Since this machine becomes unstable based on the
condition of the path, limit its load to a minimum.
6. Since visibility on slopes is impaired, limit the
height of the load to a minimum.
7. Do not park this machine on steep slopes. Park
this machine on a level surface and turn off the
power supply.
8. Do not change direction or the speed mode on
steep slopes.
9. Do not release the start switch on ascending
slopes. The machine could start reversing, which
could result in an accident.
10. Prior to starting work on slopes, check that the
battery is sufficiently charged. If the battery is
not sufficiently charged, charge the battery or
replace it with a charged one.
The machine generates an electromagnetic
field during operation, which may negatively
affect the operation of active or passive medi-
cal implants (pacemakers) and threaten the life of the
user. Prior to using this machine, ask a doctor or the
manufacturer of the implant, whether you may work with
this machine.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE BATTERY CHARGER
y Read the user's manual before charging.
y The charger is intended only for charging indo-
ors. It is necessary to protect it against rain,
high humidity and temperatures over 40°C.
y The charger is only intended for charging batteries with
the model number 402600B and must not be used for
charging other batteries or other purposes.
y Prevent the charger from being used by persons
(including children) whose physical, sensory or mental
disability or incapacity or insufficient experience or
knowledge prevents them from safely using the device
without supervision or instruction. Children must
not play with the device. It is generally not assumed
that the charger will be used by very small children
(age 0-3 years inclusive) and used by small children
without supervision (age between 3 and 8 years). It is
conceded that seriously handicapped persons may have
needs outside the level specified by norms EN 60335-1
and EN IEC 60335-2-29.
y When charging, provide for ventilation since fumes may
be released if the battery is damaged as a result of inco-
rrect handling (e.g. as a result of being dropped).
y Charge the battery at an ambient temperature range of
0°C to 40°C.
y Protect the charger against impacts and falls, prevent
the ingression of water into the charger, damaging the
insulation on the power cord or the socket plug.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BATTERY
y Protect the battery against rain, high humidity, high
temperatures (over 50°C), against mechanical damage
(impacts and falls), and never open, burn or short circuit
the battery. Store the battery fully charged and in order
to maintain the longest possible lifetime of the battery,
recharge it regularly (check the charge level on the con-
trol panel by the number of lit diodes). Storing a battery
that is discharged will damage it permanently. Do not
store the battery in temperatures below freezing point.
During transport, place caps on to the battery terminals
as protection against conductive bridging of contacts
and short-circuiting, which could result in a fire. Prior
to installing the batteries, check that the battery is not
