Operation
This machine is intended for carrying grains, produce, dirt and similar materials. Carrying
other objects may damage machine. Avoid carrying liquid concrete. That will damage
machine.
The stability of machine is affected by speed, rate of steering, terrain and load. Always pay
close attention to these factors or loss of control or tipping over could occur, resulting in
property damage, serious injury or death.
General Driving
• Do not operate engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can accumulate.
• Do not touch engine, mufer or exhaust pipe while engine is running or soon after it
has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.
• Do not operate machine under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Do not operate
machine when you are tired, ill, or not t to operate machine.
• Before starting engine and moving machine, scan around your surroundings and
make sure all persons and other vehicles are a safe distance away from machine.
• Never operate on terrain that you are not comfortable with. Avoid terrain that is so
rough, slippery or loose that you feel like you could tip over.
• Always check for obstacles before operating on new terrain. Travel slowly and
use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Be alert when traveling on
changing terrain.
• Always hold handle grips with both hands to keep a posture when operating
machine.
• Drive at a safe speed, taking into account surface gradient, surface conditions and
load.

Safety 1
-5-
• Do not make sudden maneuvers. Sudden start, stop, or turn can make machine lose
control and could cause a tip over. Be especially cautious when traveling on soft or
wet ground.
• On a slippery surface, travel slowly and exercise caution to reduce the chance of
skidding or sliding out of control. Never operate on ice.
• Always make certain that there is no obstacle or person behind machine when
backing up. Make certain that it is safe to back up, then move slowly and avoid
sharp turns.
• To reduce the risk of tipping over, pay special attention when encountering an
obstacle or a slope, or when braking on a slope or during a turn. See Driving on a
Slope below.
• Never attempt to drive over a large obstacle such as rock or fallen tree.
• Do not operate machine near the edge of a cliff, an overhang or a landslide area.
• Use an observer to help direct machine when visibility is poor, terrain is rugged or
hilly, or maneuvering room is limited. An observer should be able to see machine
and its immediate surroundings, and should give pre-arranged signals to direct the
operator.
Driving on a Slope
• Driving on a slope can be dangerous. It can result in a tip over and cause serious
injury or death. Always follow proper procedures for driving on a slope as described
in this manual.
• When carrying no load, do NOT use machine on a slope steeper than 25 degrees.
When carrying a load, observe the load limit according to the inclination (see
Loading and Driving with the Load, page 6). Do not dump on a slope.
• Driving on a slope in a wrong manner can cause a loss of control or a vehicle tip
over. Check terrain carefully before attempting to drive on a slope.
• Never drive on a slope that you are not comfortable with. Avoid a slope that is so
rough, slippery, or loose that you feel like you could tip over.

Safety

• When driving down a slope, stop and shift to one of the rst three gears (auxiliary
transmission in Low). Go down at a reduced speed. Use engine speed to help keep
machine speed low.
• When driving up a slope, proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle position.
• Never move throttle lever or operate side clutch suddenly.
• Drive straight up or down a slope. Avoid turning on a slope. Avoid driving machine
across a slope.
• If engine stalls or loses traction during a climb and cannot make it to the top of a
slope, do not try to turn machine around. Carefully back down slowly, straight down
a slope.
• When going over the top of a slope, go slow; an obstacle, a sharp drop, or another
vehicle or person could be on the other side of the crest.
• Without a load, drive machine backwards up a slope (operator's handle toward the
top) when climbing, and drive it forward when going down a slope.
• With a load, drive machine forward up a slope (operator's handle away from the
top) when climbing, and drive it backwards when going down a slope. Be especially
cautious when operating on a slope with a load.
Loading and Driving with a Load
• The maximum payload for this machine is 300kg. Do not exceed this maximum
payload under any circumstance.
• Do not operate on a slope steeper than 20 degrees when carrying a load. Do not
carry more than 150kg when operating on a slope between 15 and 20 degrees.
• Place a load in loading deck so that the weight is evenly distributed. When carrying
a load, strap it to loading deck to prevent it from shifting. Ensure that the load does
not obstruct the operator's eld of view.
• When carrying a load, drive at a reduced speed. Allow greater distance for braking.

Safety 1
-7-
• Before crossing a bridge or an overpass, make certain that the total combined
weight of machine, load and operator is within the stated weight limit of the bridge
or the overpass. Then, proceed carefully and at a constant speed.
Parking
• Park machine on a at, level and stable surface. Do not park in a dangerous place.
Never park machine on a slope steeper than 15 degrees. Avoid parking on a slope
less than 15 degrees. If parking on a slope less than 15 degrees is unavoidable,
block tracks at the lower end of machine.
→ Without a load, park machine with operator's handle uphill
→ With a load, park machine with operator's handle downhill
→ Do not park sideways on a slope.
• Observe all the previous precautions for general driving, driving on a slope, loading
and driving with a load.
• Whenever you park machine, disengage clutch and stop engine.
• Gasoline is highly ammable and can be explosive. When parking machine indoors,
make certain that the building is well ventilated and that machine is not close to any
source of ame or spark, including appliances with pilot lights.
Servicing
• Do not service machine when engine is running. If it is absolutely necessary to run
engine while servicing, keep hands, feet, clothing and any part of the body away
from any moving part, especially belts at the side of engine.
• Do not operate engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can accumulate.
• Check all fuel lines on a regular basis for fit and wear. Tighten or repair them as
needed.
• Do not touch engine, mufer, or exhaust pipe while engine is running or soon after
it has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.
• Engine must be shut off before checking or adding oil.
