HG Super Skub - an alternative to the traditional wheelbarrow
Introduction
HG Super Skub E is an electrically motorised wheelbarrow
used for transporting materials on solid surfaces.
The power barrow can load up to 700 kg at a time, e.g. 550
litres of sand, meaning that it can hold 8 times more than an
ordinary wheelbarrow.
With pendulum suspension, fully electric transmission and
hydraulic tipping, the machine is easy to handle and the
ergonomically correct control panel provides a good
working position.
The strong construction of the power barrow provides a
long service life and requires minimal service.

HG Super Skub - an alternative to the traditional wheelbarrow
1.1 Training
◆Read the instructions carefully. You should be familiar
with all controls, switches etc. and with how to use the
equipment correctly.
◆To use the motor barrow, the operator must be over 18
years of age and have normal mental condition and
mobility. Relevant legislation may mandate a different
age limit for operators of the motor barrow in specific
situations.
◆Remember that the operator is responsible for any
accidents or hazardous situations that may occur
involving other people or their property.
◆The operator should be given adequate instructions for
using the motor barrow. These instructions should focus
on:
1) The need to be careful and focused when working
with self-propelled machines.
2) The fact that the operator must have a good
overview of what is happening in front of/behind the
vehicle - especially where other people may be
present.
The most common causes of accidents are:
1) Lack of overview;
2) The operator's knowledge of the vehicle is
insufficient;
3) Overly steep terrain conditions;
4) Insufficiently stable terrain;
5) The vehicle being used in conditions with insufficient
space.
1.2 Preparation
◆Be sure not to wear loose clothing when driving.
◆Ensure that he machine is adequately charged. HG does
not recommend driving with less than 15% battery
capacity
◆Ensure that the machine holds sufficient hydraulic oil for
the tipping function.
◆Top up hydraulic oil if required, before activating the
main switch and ignition key to ON position. Never
remove the hydraulic tank cap or top up the hydraulic oil
while the motor is running or hot.
◆In case of spilling hydraulic oil, do not attempt to turn on
the machine until the hydraulic oil spilled on the machine
has been removed. Hydraulic oil can create very slippery
surfaces and can thus increase the risk of accidents while
driving.
◆If you get hydraulic oil on your skin, you should wash your
skin thoroughly with soap. If irritation persists, consult a
physician
◆Ingestion of hydraulic oil is potentially fatal.
1.3 Noise and vibration levels
1.3.1 Noise level
According to ISO 6396, the max.
energy equivalent sound pressure
level is 88 dB (A) at the operator
location, measured during tipping
with an empty skip and at maximum
motor speed.
According to ISO 6396, the highest energy equivalent sound
pressure level is 87 dB (A) at the operator location, measured
during simulated operating conditions between driving and
tipping.
The uncertainty of the above measurements is ± 2 dB.
HG recommends the use of hearing protection, even if the noise
is below the statutory limit.
1.3.2 Vibration level
According to ISO 1032, the maximum weighted arm/hand
vibration level at the operator location, measured at empty skip
tipping and maximum motor speed, is:
ahv = 5.0 m/s2.

6
SAFETY
HG Super Skub - an alternative to the traditional wheelbarrow
According to ISO 1032, the maximum weighted arm/hand
vibration level at the operator location at simulated operating
conditions between driving and tipping is measured at:
ahv = 3.0 m/s2.
The uncertainty of the above measurements is ± 25%.

SAFETY
1.4 Operation
WARNING!
Failure to observe the following operating instructions may
result in injury:
◆When driving indoors, make sure you observe the rules
and instructions in force on site.
◆Do not use the machine in places with flammable dust
or explosive gases.
◆As far as possible, only use the motor barrow in daylight
or in good artificial lighting.
◆Do not use the motor
barrow with insufficient
ceiling height.
◆Do not drive on slopes
exceeding 5% (4.5
degrees)
◆Do not drive across
slopes exceeding:
10° (10 degrees) on
hard surfaces such as
concrete and asphalt.
5° (4.5 degrees) on
compacted ground
such as gravel and
grass.
◆In case of overturning, let go of the machine and keep
your distance. Never try to hold onto the machine.
◆Be aware that the driving characteristics of the motor
barrow change significantly between an empty and a
full skip, as the centre of gravity of the motor barrow is
higher when the skip is full.

SAFETY
HG Super Skub - an alternative to the traditional wheelbarrow
◆Do not drive and unload
close to excavations and
unstable edges.
◆Unloading of frozen loads or highly adhesive materials
such as clay must not be performed by tipping, as the
machine may tip over.
◆Driving on soft, loose and uneven surfaces is prohibited,
as the operator may be exposed to inappropriate loads
on the body when operating the machine.
◆When leaving the motor barrow, remove the ignition
key and turn off the main switch.
◆Always turn off the ignition and main switch before
carrying out any service or repair works.
◆Always turn off the ignition and main switch before
charging the machine.
◆Do not touch the motor or other electrical parts when
the machine is on and/or running.
◆The machine may only be used for transporting
materials.
◆When reversing, the
operator must pay special
attention to uneven
surfaces and objects that
the operator may fall over
or drive into.
◆The operator must be
aware of persons in the
area so that they are not
crushed under the truck
bed when it is being
lowered.
◆The area around the machine must be kept tidy to
avoid accidents caused by falling.
1.5 Maintenance
Each time the machine is used, visual inspection and
inspection must be performed to ensure:
◆That there are no leaks in the hydraulic system in hoses,
tanks etc.;
◆That there are no worn or broken wires;
◆That bolts, nuts etc. are properly tightened;
◆That the radiator grille and radiator fins on the motor
are free of dirt;
◆That no hydraulic oil has been spilled on or around the
machine;
◆That the motor barrow is stationary when the
propulsion lever is not activated;
◆That the safety plate activates forward movement when
activated;
◆That the tyres have the correct pressure and have been
lubricated.

SAFETY
WARNING! Always fit the safety bracket of the tipping
cylinder before starting the inspection work.
1.6 Transporting/Towing
In order for the machine to be towed without the motor being
started, the release button on the right side below the control
panel must be activated. The traction wheels are released and
the machine can be moved.
When lifting the machine, the three attachment points on the
front and on the instrument panel must be used.
Attachment must be sufficiently stable and executed in such a
way that detachment cannot take place.
Lifting the machine may ONLY be done with an empty skip.
The image may differ depending on the model type.
The machine may only be
transported with means of
transport with sufficient
ground clearance, as there
is a risk of serious injury to
the operator/damage to the
machine and means of
transport.
During transportation, the machine must be attached to the
load surface or cargo hold in accordance with relevant
regulations.
1.7 Disposal/Dismantling
When, many years from now, the motor barrow is worn out
and has to be disposed of, Hedensted Gruppen will perform
the dismantling by agreement, as this should take place in an
environmentally sound manner. During dismantling, the
machine parts are sorted according to type of material: in
other words, steel separately, rubber seals separately etc. The
various types of material are then disposed of in accordance
with relevant current legislation.

DRIVING
3Driving
Turn the main switch to the turned-on position. The battery
pack is now connected to the machine components.
Turn the ignition key to the ON position
Press the activation button (now lit green) and the machine
is now active.
Check via battery status that the machine is sufficiently
charged. HG does not recommend driving with a charge
below 15% as this can damage and shorten the life of the
batteries.
Place both hands on the handlebars so that the fingers can
reach the propulsion lever. The machine moves forward by
pulling up on the right side of the handle, and stops when
releasing. If the left side of the handle is pulled up, the
machine reverses.
Reversing requires careful rearward orientation before
starting the movement.
The direction is controlled by pulling the handlebar to the
right or left during movement. Do not try to control the
direction while the machine is stationary, as this will be hard
on the body.
WARNING! When the forward and reverse movement
handles are released, the machine must stop without delay
and stand completely still. If the machine creeps slightly, it
must be immediately removed from operation and the fault
must be rectified.

DRIVING
HG Super Skub - an alternative to the traditional wheelbarrow
The load is tipped by pushing the tipping lever up with the
left hand, while still keeping the right hand on the handlebar.
The speed is determined by the handle: the further it is
pushed up, the faster the movement.
Before lowering the load, the operator must look around to
ensure that no persons are within the range of motion of the
machine. The truck bed is lowered by pressing the tipping
lever down with the left hand while keeping the right hand
on the handlebar. Wait until the truck bed is fully down and
place both hands on the handlebar before activating
forward motion.
WARNING! In case of overturning, let go of the
machine and move away. Never try to hold onto the
machine.
Before the operator leaves the machine, the skip must be
down, the throttle fully pushed up and the motor turned off
using the key switch. If the machine is completely
abandoned, the key must be removed from the machine.
