WBH16/WBH16E POWER BUGGY (S/N 110401 & UP)• OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (06/18/15) — PAGE 15
The MQ Whiteman Power Buggy, Models WBH16 (recoil
start) and WBH16E (electric start) are intended for the
transportation of concrete, concrete spreading and spot
pouring. In addition, the WBH16/WBH16E is designed for
landscaping applications, material sub-base distribution,
job site cleanup and material transport.
The Power Buggy is equipped with a 6-inch dump height
which provides clearance and enables the operator to
maneuver over any form height. In addition, it has a unique
polyethylene tub design that reduces concrete splatter.
A low center of gravity has been incorporated into the
design which provides added safety when maneuvering
the buggy in tight areas. A 4.8 gallon (18.1 liters) fuel tank
allows for extended uninterrupted use. Maximum speed of
the power buggy is rated at 7.25 mph (11.7 km/h).
The maximum weight capacity of the Power Buggy is 2,500
lbs. (1,136 kg). The outer wheels can be removed to allow
the buggy to pass through a 32 in. (81.28 cm.) door.
Hand and foot controls are provided for ease of dumping
and stopping of the WBH16/WBH16E. Multiple lift points
have been provided to allow for easy access of a forklift
when lifting is required.
The WBH16/WBH16E is powered by a HONDA GX390
air cooled gasoline engine rated at 11.7 HP at 3600 RPM
The engine drives a variable displacement hydrostatic
transmission which is activated by a cable controlled
hand lever. The hydraulic fluid flows to a divider valve
which directs the fluid to the forward reverse and dumping
systems.
The operator controls the forward and reverse machine
travel by manually shifting the control valve which directs
the hydraulic fluid flow to the two drive wheel motors. The
flow to the dump cylinder is also controlled by a manually
operated control valve.
This hydraulic system uses a parallel loop configuration,
operating at a maximum of 2100 PSI (14,478 kPa). The
system also features a neutral position which allows the
power buggy to be moved in the event of an emergency.
The hydraulic oil is filtered by a screen type filter located in
the hydraulic tank, then doubled filtered within the system
by a 10 micron cartridge spin-on return filter.
