Cautions During Operation:
1. All slopes require extra caution. Do not operate on slopes exceeding 10°. If a slope is greater than
10°only go vertically (not horizontally).
2. Always have the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight distribution will change the tipping point. An
empty bucket will make the rear of the machine heaviest, a loaded bucket will make the front of the
machine heaviest. These same rules apply when loading and unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.
3. Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly keeping the heavy end of the machine uphill.
4. Do not operate near ditches or embankments.
5. Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause slippage.
6. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the work area. Watch for ruts or bumps as uneven
terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can also hide obstacles.
9. If machine becomes unstable, jump clear. Never try to stabilize the machine yourself.
10. Never use your hand to find hydraulic leaks. Use a piece of wood or cardboard. Hydraulic fluid
injected into the skin must be treated by a knowledgeable physician immediately or severe injury or death
can occur.
11. Always turn machine off when not in use.
12. Never disconnect any emergency or safety devices. These devices are intended for operator safety.
Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any
of these devices will void all warranties.
13. Never approach power lines with any part of the buggy unless all local, state/provincial and federal
(OSHA) required safety precautions have been taken. Use extreme caution when approaching high voltage
power lines.
14. Do not operate the machine at excessive speeds. Reckless operation may cause accidents and severe
injury. Slow down when approaching people, wet areas, and going up and down grades. It is the
responsibility of the operator to adjust speed, as necessary, depending on the conditions of the road or
path.
15. Allow extra time to stop when operating the machine on wet surfaces or loosely graded materials.
16. Do not dump materials that are large, chunky or sticky. These types of material may shift causing the
machine to tip and throw the operator off the machine. The machine intended for dumping free-flowing
and loose materials such as dry soil, slag, and wet concrete.
17. Do not dump materials from bucket while the power buggy is moving.
18. For walk behind operation, the operator platform must be stowed and locked in the UP position.
The speed should also be reduced to 3 mph (4.8 kph) or slower.
19. Always make sure the machine’s brakes are working properly. Check brake linkage and adjust as
required. Never operate the machine with a defective braking system.
20. Ensure brakes are applied when leaving machine unattended or when using on a slope. When parking
on a slope, position the machine at a right angle to a slope. Ensure that the parking brake is engaged and
holds the machine safely in place when parking on a slope.
21. When filling or dumping, do not exceed payload capacity of the machine.
22. Do not stand in front, or alongside, the machine when discharging a load.
23. To prevent unexpected loss of control, do not start engine on a sloping surface.
24. Ensure that the speed control works freely and return to the closed position. Do not start engine
unless speed control is working properly.
25. Never operate the machine with bad or worn tires. Always replace defective tires with new ones.
26. Always make sure the hydraulic dumping mechanism of the tub is working properly.

Operation
18 | page
Caution: While side dumping, or dumping straight, if the load is sticky (such
as wet soil) the user may need to help remove the load from the bucket.
Turn off the machine and check its surroundings before you help unload.
Dump slowly to ensure load is leaving bucket, if load sticks abort the
dump.
Caution: Be the utmost aware when dumping the bucket to the
side. (Fig 8) Ensure all persons are a safe distance away, 30 feet or
more. Never side dump the machine with other than 2500 lbs or
less of loose easy to remove materials. Never dump the machine
on a declining slope. Look for barriers when dumping.
6. Throttle Control
Operate the throttle control knob as shown in the figure to the right.

Caution: Never transport the machine unless you are sure that it is secured sufficiently to the
transport vehicle. Before leaving the machine unattended, always turn it off. Check that all
locking devices are in the correct position.
8. Automatic Park Brake
This machine is equipped with an automatic park brake. (Fig 13) The park brake is
intended to eliminate accidental movements when there is no operator present.
When the engine is started and everything is working properly the park brake is
released. When the engine is off the park brake is automatically set. If equipped
with the generator or auxiliary tool circuit, the park brake is also automatically set
when in use. If the machine engine fails to start, or there is a malfunction with the
pump, the park brake will not be released and you may wish to deactivate it.
Caution: Park the machine on a flat, level and stable surface. If parking on an uneven surface is
unavoidable, turn the bucket straight, apply the park brake and block the tracks at the lower end
of the machine. Without a load, park the machine with the operator's step uphill. With a load,
park the machine with the operator's step downhill (Never park sideways on a slope.)
In order to deactivate the park brake the park brake pump must be used. Locate the park
brake pump inside the left side panel next to the muffler and pump until there is enough
pressure to release. While towing, pressure may drop. Continue to pump the park brake release
pump until the machine has reached a different destination.
9. Towing
After the material has been removed from the bucket and the park
brake has been released, use the D ring located on the front

11. Lifting with Forklift
The machine can be lifted from the rear or the sides, not from the front, with a forklift. To lift
from the rear, adjust the forks so they are 16’ 5” apart (from the outside). Raise the rear
platform of the machine. Use caution not to cause damage to the tanks while the forklift is
going towards the machine
To lift the machine from the side, place the forks through the frame ( F i g 16) by placing the
forks 33” apart (from the outside). Ensure the forks extend to through the other side of the
machine before lifting. With both lifting techniques, make sure bystanders are clear, move
slowly and always keep machine as close to the ground as possible.
12. Generator (If Equipped)
Caution: Never operate an electric tool while driving machine.
No operator should be on the machine during the time of electric
tool use. Doing so can result in serious injury or death. After the
generator is turned on, the park brake is automatically set.
Turn on the generator by using the switch on the control panel
marked with “G” symbol. ( F i g 17) After setting park brake you
can begin to use the generator. You can use up to 3.7 KW.
Please see generator owner’s manual for more information.
13. Auxiliary Tool Circuit (If Equipped) ( F i g 18)
Caution: Never operate a hydraulic tool and drive the machine at the
same time. No operator should be on the machine during the time of
auxiliary tool use. Doing so can result in serious injury or death. After
the tool circuit is turned on the park brake is automatically set.
Note: Auxiliary Tool Circuit may not operate all hydraulic tools
properly. Only up to 12 GPM at 2500 PSI.
Before connecting implement hoses to tool circuit,
determine which hose connects to each port.
1. Connect hoses with engine off and adjust the Aux Flow Knob to its lowest setting by
rotating clockwise. ( F i g 17)
2. Start the engine and turn on the Aux Flow circuit by using the switch on the control panel
with the hydraulic symbol, next control the generator switch and aux flow knob. ( F i g 17)
At this time the park brake is automatically set.
Note: If the engine struggles to start or won’t start check your tool hose connections.
3. Slowly increase the engine RPM
4. Adjust the Aux Flow Control knob to get the desired performance from the hydraulic tool
by rotating the knob counter clockwise.
5. After tool use, decrease the Aux Flow and decrease the engine RPM down to idle.
6. While no one is handling the hydraulic tool flip the Aux Tool switch to off ( F i g 17) and then
turn off the machine. Try to activate the tool to reduce built up pressure and remove the
hoses. Turn on the auxiliary tool circuit by using the switch on the control panel. ( F i g 17)
