OPERATING (Cont’d)

Loading the Bucket – When loading the bucket, make

sure the bucket latch is engaged and ensure the load is

evenly distributed and centered. Failure to center the

load may cause the machine to be unbalanced and may

tip over. Tiedown straps are always recommended.

Do not overload the bucket or stack things on top of the

bucket edges.

Handle Adjustments – The handles may be adjusted for

comfort. The handles may be rotated to a storage

position as shown in order to save space, they may also

be rotated outwards to a comfortable position for the

operator. To rotate the handles, loosen the handle

adjustment knobs and rotate the handles into the

desired position. Tighten the adjustment knobs to

secure in place.

The height of the handles can be adjusted in three 6 CM

(2-3/8in) steps. To adjust the height of the handles,

loosen the handle adjustment knobs enough so the

handles can be freely moved up or down. Each step on

the handle tube has an indicator groove and a clamping

groove. Move the handle so that the indicator groove is

aligned with the top of the tube socket, and tighten the

adjustment knob so the handle does not move.

Tires – There are two pneumatic tires on the front of the

vehicle, and two no-flat casters on the rear. The front

tire size is 13x5.00-6 and has an inflatable tube inside.

Check the tire air pressure often and do not exceed the

maximum tire pressure of 30 PSI. Always ensure both

tires have the same pressure. Improperly inflated tires

will affect the load capacity and handling.

OPERATING (Cont’d)

Dumping the bucket – When dumping the bucket,

release the right handle/throttle and squeeze the brake

lever with your left hand. Release the bucket latch then

lift the bucket handle with your right hand.

If the load is too heavy to lift with one hand, engage the

parking brake lock before lifting the bucket handle to

ensure the machine will not move while dumping.

Drivetrain – The drivetrain consists of a DC powered

drive motor, a speed reduction gearbox, and a

differential gear. This system is adjusted at the factory

and should not need repair or adjustment. The speed

reduction gearbox can be disengaged and engaged by

shifting the drive lever mounted on the left side of the

rear frame. Disengaging the drive will allow the machine

to be pushed manually.

Do not engage or disengage the drive while the machine

is on. This may damage the drive motor or the speed

reduction gearbox. Always stop the machine, engage the

brake, and turn the power switch key into the off

position prior to shifting the drive lever.

Battery – The battery is a rechargeable 24VDC, 24AH

Encapsulated Lead-Acid Battery which does not require

maintenance or adjustment. It may be removed from

the machine for charging by releasing and lifting the

bucket, unplugging the 3-prong connector, and undoing

the hook and pile strap. It is recommended that the

battery be charged in the machine, however if charging

externally, the charging port and 3-prong connection

may also be removed from the machine. Contact the

distributor if additional batteries or connectors are

desired. Batteries will naturally loose their charge while

not in use for extended periods, always charge the

battery fully before use and every two months when in

storage. The battery life deteriorates over time and may

need to be replaced when the output voltage becomes

too low. When this occurs, contact the distributor for a

replacement battery.
