SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Battery powered wheelbarrow safety
warnings
1. While operating the machine, always wear non-
slip and protective footwear. Non-skid, closed-toed
safety boots and shoes will reduce the risk of injury.
2. Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-
rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and
ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the
machine under load will help reduce losing control
of the machine.
3. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and
unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such
as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and
unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,
may cause the machine to lose traction and may
adversely a󰀨ect steering, braking and stability.
4. Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi-
mum recommended grade and side grades may
increase the risk of instability and may adversely
a󰀨ect the ability to stop safely.
5. When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face
of slopes, never up or down, and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
6. Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-
ping, loading and unloading and never leave
machine unattended on a slope. The machine is
more unstable when resting on a slope than when
resting on a level surface.
7. When leaving the machine unattended, set
parking brake once the machine is located in a
safe stopping area. The parking brake prevents
unwanted movement of the front wheel and can
improve stability.
8.
Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and secure.
In order to reduce the risk of injury, all ramps must
be clear of loose debris and strong enough to
withstand the weight of anticipated loads that will
be moved over them. They must have adequate
blocking underneath and to both sides to eliminate
deections and side-to-side movement under load.
All ramps must be wide enough to have sure foot-
ing while hauling loads across them.
9. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure
before using. Locking screws on the rear wheels
and open-type carrier front and side walls must be
secure to prevent unwanted movement of these
adjustable parts of the machine.
10. Never operate the machine in an overloaded
condition. Make sure the machine has the proper
capacity rating for the objects or materials that
have to be hauled. Excessive loads will make
the machine more di󰀩cult to maneuver and stop,
will increase stopping time and distance, and will
increase the risk of instability.
11. Never operate your machine in an over stacked
condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or
over the sides of the tray can cause the machine
to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.

18 ENGLISH
12.
Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.
Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely to shift
which can result in loss of stability and control.
13. Always maintain a rm grip on handles. Loss of
control can increase the risk of personal injury.
14. Remove safety key when not in use. The safety
key prevents unwanted, powered use of the
machine, such as by children or other untrained
or unauthorized persons. Without the key, electric
power cannot be turned “on”.
15. This machine cannot be used on public roads.
Use of the wheelbarrow on a public road is unlaw-
ful and could result in local jurisdiction penalties in
addition it could result in personal injury.
16. Use a sturdy plate with anti-slip and detach-
ment prevention function when loading and/
or unloading this machine for transportation,
or moving this machine between di󰀨erent
levels. Make sure the plate inclination does not
exceed 12°, and operate the machine slowly
and carefully. Unstable and quick operation
may result in overturn and/or falling.
17. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this
machine.
Preparation
1. Before operating the machine, make sure that
there are no people around the machine.
2. Before operating the machine, perform
the inspections referring to the section for
maintenance.

1. When operating the machine, stand behind the
machine and hold the handles with both hands
rmly.
2. Do not operate the machine while riding on the
machine.
3. Do not allow others to ride on the machine.
4.
When operating the machine in reverse and
walking backward, watch behind you and watch
your step, and be careful not to slip or trip.
5. Do not use the machine when visibility is poor
because there is a risk of striking obstacles.
6. When operating the machine on rough ground
or going over the level di󰀨erence of the road,
decrease speed and exercise caution.
7. When using the machine, avoid soft ground
to prevent overturn due to the shoulder of the
road collapsing.
8. Do not operate the machine on slopes greater
than 12°.
9. If you nd an abnormality, stop the machine
on at ground. Before inspecting the machine,
lock the brake lever, and then turn the power
o󰀨.
10. Before operating the machine, make sure that
the handle of the dump unit is fully pulled
down and completely locked. If the lock is
incomplete, there is a risk of accident or injury as
the carrier or bucket may be tilted and the objects
fall when going downhill.
11. When operating the machine near walls, be
careful not to get your hands caught between
the handle and the wall.
12.
Do not use the machine in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
13. Do not touch the metal parts during use or
after use as they may get hot enough to cause
burns due to sunlight.
14. Be careful not to entangle the cords with the
load or obstacles.
15. When crossing a wooden bridge, etc., make
sure that the sum of the weight of product,
load capacity, and operator's weight does
not exceed the weight limit of the bridge, and
cross the bridge carefully at a constant speed.
16. Wear the gloves when operating the machine
in low temperature environments. Touching
the metal parts with bare hands may cause your
hands to stick.
17. If there are people or obstacles in the direction
of travel, avoid them in advance.
18. Do not scoop objects directly with the carrier
or bucket. Doing so may damage the machine
and cause an accident.
19. When you use the machine on muddy ground,
wet slope, or slippery place, pay attention to
your footing.
20. Do not submerge the machine into a puddle.
21. When you leave the machine while working, be
sure to completely return the dump unit to its
original position, and lock the brake lever and
remove the lock key.
22. Do not leave the machine unattended while
objects are loaded on the carrier or bucket.
Operation on slopes
1. Do not cross on slopes.
2. Stop before the downhill, and be sure to
decrease speed and exercise caution.
3. If the speed is too fast when traveling downhill,
the beep sound is emitted. In this case, slow
down using the brake.
4. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the
machine on slopes.
5. As the loads become less stable on slopes,
rmly secure the loads with ropes.
6. As the machine becomes unstable depending
on the condition of the road, keep the load to a
minimum.
7. As the view is obscured on slopes, keep the
height of the load to a minimum.
8. Never stop the machine on slopes. Stop the
machine on at ground, and lock the brake
lever, and then turn the power o󰀨.
9. Do not change the direction or speed mode on
steep slopes.
10. Do not release the switch trigger on upward
slopes. The machine may go in reverse and
cause an accident.
11.
Make sure that the remaining battery capacity
is enough before operating on slopes. If the
remaining battery capacity is not enough, charge
the battery or replace it with a charged one.
12. When starting the machine on slopes, do not
place your foot behind the rear wheel since the
machine moves back a few centimeters.

19 ENGLISH
Loading objects
1. Do not overload objects. When loading
objects, be sure to follow the instructions and
load limits in the manual.
2. Since the larger the load, the more di󰀩cult it
is to operate the machine, keep the load within
the range that does not a󰀨ect the operation.
3. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.
4. Load the objects within the carrier or bucket.
If the objects protrude from the carrier or bucket,
there is a risk of accidents due to the objects
falling or contact obstacles such as walls.
5. Be sure that loaded objects are below eye
level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous
because the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk
of overturning and injury because the load is likely
to be unbalanced.
6. Load the objects on the carrier or bucket
evenly. If the objects are loaded unevenly, there is
a risk of overturning and injury because the load is
likely to be unbalanced.
7. Before loading the objects or operating the
machine, make sure that the handle of the
dump unit is fully pulled down and completely
locked.
8. Be sure to load heavy objects rst to keep
balance.
9. Do not extend the front and side rails on steep
slopes. Extend the side rails when lightweight
objects are loaded.
10. When extending the front and side rails, do not
extend them over the extension limit. Be sure
to extend the side rails so that the right and
left sides are the same length, and load objects
evenly.
11. Load and unload objects on at ground. Never
load or unload objects on slope.
12. When lifting and tilting the carrier or bucket,
hold the handles and frame rmly, and work in
a stable posture.
Transportation of machine
1. Use the ladder rails that are at least 4 times
as long as the height of the truck bed, with
xtures suitable for the bed, with a non-slip
surface and su󰀩cient width, and capable of
withstanding the weight of the machine and
operator. Read the instruction manual of the
ladder rails carefully before use.
2. Before loading the machine, unload all objects
from the machine and remove mud and other
debris from the tires. Install the ladder rails on
a at and stable surface.
3. Before loading or unloading the machine,
make sure that there are no people around the
machine and the ladder rails. Load or unload
the machine at low speed, taking care to pre-
vent the machine from falling o󰀨 the ladder
rails, and not to hit your head on the ceiling of
the truck. Use extreme caution when loading
or unloading the machine backward.
4. When transporting the machine, lock the brake
lever, turn the power o󰀨, remove the batteries
