Fig. 1
6 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

V 4.0 660 lb Power Wheelbarrow 8622979
2. Align the holes of the handlebar with the mounting bracket and secure
each with a spring washer, flat washer and an M10x20 bolt. Fasten each
handlebar support onto the engine deck with a spring washer, flat washer
and an M8x25 hex bolt (Fig. 3).
3. Position the bottom panel inside the mounting bracket. Align the holes with
the mounting bracket. Insert a long pin through holes and secure each side
with a flat washer and cotter pin (Fig. 4).
OPERATION
Consult the engine manual for the correct procedure to start and stop the
engine.
1. Start the engine. After the engine warms up, adjust the throttle control (B)
to increase the engine speed.
2. Choose a gear with the gear selection lever (G) and slowly squeeze the
clutch control lever (D) to start moving. If the gear does not engage
straight away, slowly release the clutch lever and try again.
3. The power wheelbarrow has steering levers on the handlebars (C and E).
To turn right, squeeze the right steering lever to slow or stop the track on
that side. The power wheelbarrow will then turn in that direction.
The steering sensitivity increases in proportion to the speed of the
machine. Light pressure on the lever is all that is needed to turn an empty
machine. More pressure is required when the machine is loaded.

4. When the clutch control lever is released, the machine will stop
automatically.
5. Move the Gear Select Lever (G) to neutral.
a. Switch the engine OFF as an additional safety precaution.
6. Dump the load by pulling the tipping handle (H) up to release the dump
box's locking device. Manually raise the dump box to dump the load.
Lower the dump box and the locking mechanism will automatically lock the
box into place. Confirm the dump box is locked into position by attempting
to lift the dump box without using the tipping handle.
DIFFICULT TERRAIN
The power wheelbarrow may be hard to control when carrying a full load on
difficult terrain. The following steps can reduce the chance of losing control of
the equipment.
1. Reduce the power wheelbarrow’s speed to low on difficult terrain such as
soft or frozen ground, on an incline or on loose gravel or stones. This will
allow more time to react to a potential loss of control.
2. Do not allow rapid acceleration, sudden stops or sharp turns. The load’s
momentum can cause the power wheelbarrow to tip or slide in an
unexpected direction.
3. The power wheelbarrow will tilt when the tracks pass over obstacles or
rough terrain.
4. Adverse weather conditions such as wind, rain, snow and ice can make the
power wheelbarrow more difficult to control. Reduce speed and evaluate
the terrain.
a. Rough terrain can wear down the rubber tracks quickly, impairing
their function and reducing their operational life,
5. Place a wedge against one of the tracks if the machine is stopped on a
steep slope.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to
control and will have fewer problems.
8 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

V 4.0 660 lb Power Wheelbarrow 8622979
2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or
worn components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
4. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free from oil/grease at all times.
5. Maintain the tool’s labels and name plates. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the tool. An
improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the user and/or others.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Turn off the engine and place the gear selection lever into neutral. Wait until the
engine is cool. Remove all debris and other materials that may have
accumulated on the tracks, engine or chassis.
ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH
A worn clutch may require moving the clutch lever farther before the clutch
engages.
1. Set the clutch lever to its original position.
2. Remove slack from the clutch lever cable with the adjustment device and
counter-nut.
ADJUSTING THE STEERING
The steering system may become less responsive with wear and tear to the unit.
Adjust one steering lever, before adjusting the other one.
1. Loosen the locknut and unscrew the adjuster just enough to allow the
cable to move when force is applied. Do not loosen too much as traction
can be lost.
2. Eliminate slack in the cable and tighten the adjuster.
3. Tighten the locknut and test the tension in the steering lever.
TIGHTEN TRACKS
WARNING! An overtight track will impair the brake’s effectiveness. Test and
adjust the brakes after tightening the track. Replace the track if any
adjustment affects the brakes normal function.
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 9

8622979 660 lb Power Wheelbarrow V 4.0
A loose track can slip off the driving wheel. This can cause a hazardous
situation or damage to the equipment. Check the track’s tightness on a
regular basis.
1. Set the machine on a flat surface of asphalt,
stone or pavement. Compact ground is also
acceptable.
2. Lift the machine and set it on blocks or
supports rated for the weight of the
machine, so that the tracks are
approximately 4 in (100 mm) off the
ground.
3. Measure the track midline vs. the horizontal
line. The reading must not be more than
10-15 mm. If the distance is greater,
proceed as follows (Fig. 5).
a. Tip the dump box and set it on blocks or supports capable of holding
the weight of the box.
b. Loosen locknut A.
c. Tighten bolt B until the correct tightness is restored to the track.
d. Secure bolt B by retightening locknut A to secure the bolt in place.
e. Return the dump box to its original position.
NOTICE! Replace the track if the guide wheel axle (#71) is fully extended
forward and the track is still too loose.
REPLACING A TRACK
WARNING! Keep hands away from the track and wheels when under power to
avoid a crushing injury.
Check the condition of the tracks periodically. Replace a track that is cracked or
frayed.
1. Set the machine on a flat surface of asphalt, stone or pavement. Compact
ground is also acceptable.
2. Lift the machine and set it on jack stands or supports rated for the weight
of the machine. The tracks should be 4 in. (100 mm) off the ground.
Fig. 5

V 4.0 660 lb Power Wheelbarrow 8622979
3. Loosen locknut A and bolt B (Fig. 5) fully to release tension from the track.
4. Pull the track off the toothed drive wheel at the rear by hand if possible. An
alternative is to use a wood block and crowbar to remove the track.
a. Start the engine and shift the power wheelbarrow into reverse.
b. Place a long wood block against the track and drive wheel. The wood
block will lift the track off the drive wheel as it rotates. Place the
power wheelbarrow into neutral gear as soon as the track has lifted.
c. Pull the track towards the side with the crowbar until the track slides
off the wheel. Remove the wood block.
WARNING! Do this carefully to avoid tipping the machine over. The machine
is heavy and can cause a crushing injury.
d. Shut the engine OFF.
e. Pull the track off the other wheels.
5. Place the new track so the teeth
are on either side of the front
wheel. Position the track so it
aligns with the other wheels.
6. Place the track on the rear drive
wheel by hand if possible. Use a
crowbar to slip the track onto the
teeth of the drive wheel.
7. Start the engine and place the
power wheelbarrow in reverse until the drive wheel’s teeth slip into the
slotted holes of the track.
8. Adjust the track tension as explained in the section Tighten Tracks.
