FUEL SAFETY
FUEL & OIL
WARNING
YOUR MACHINE IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT ENGINE OIL OR PETROL
Operating the engine with insufficient oil, can have catastrophic consequences. Any failure caused by
insufficient oil, will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 3 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine with engine
running. Fuel the engine at least 15 metres away from your work area. Always fuel your machine outdoors.
IMPORTANT:
Fuel which is older than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the fuel system or
essential carburettor components. This could result in starting issues which would not be covered by your
manufacturer’s warranty.
Ensure that any stored petrol is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a maximum of 30 days,
if not mixed with a fuel additive. If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, drain the fuel tank,
start the engine and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel.
To keep fuel fresh, we recommend you use SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE (HP-199) from Handy Parts. A fuel
additive added to your fuel at the time of purchase, will help make your machine easier to start, extend the
shelf life of your fuel mixture for up to two years, keeps the carburettor & engine clean, plus reduces emissions
and increases fuel economy. A 250ml bottle of SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE will treat 25 litres of fuel. Only use
4-stroke SAE30 or 10W/30 air cooled lawnmower engine oil. DO NOT USE automotive or marine oil.
•Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapours can explode if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce
the chance of serious personal injury.
•Only refill or drain the fuel tank in a clean well-ventilated outdoor area. Use an approved fuel storage
container. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition near the area while
adding fuel or operating the unit. Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
•Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections
to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapours.
•Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with
known leaks in the fuel system.
•Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
•Never overfill the fuel tank. Fill the tank to no more than 12.5mm (1/2”) below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow space for expansion as the heat of the engine can cause fuel to expand.
•Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit without
the fuel cap securely in place.
•Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapours have dissipated.
•Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose.
•Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition.
•Never store fuel or a machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach a spark, open
flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or similar.
•Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

ADDING FUEL
Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the separate Engine Manual packed with the machine.
Fill the tank to no more than 12.5mm (1/2”) below the bottom of the filler neck to allow space for
expansion.
CAUTION
Engine Oil has been drained for shipping.

•Do not operate the machine in confined areas where there may be a risk of crushing the operator between
the machine and another object.
•Never operate the machine on slopes where the angle is over 20° degrees.
•When moving over a slope, whether moving forward or in reverse, always make certain that the weight is
evenly balanced. Always move in directions parallel with the slope. To
•avoid danger, do not shift gears on slopes.
•When tipping the load from the dumper, the centre of gravity will change continuously and the stability of
the machine will vary depending on the conditions of the ground beneath it. There are special hazards for
dumpers working on soft ground and when the load is sticking to the machine e.g. wet clay.
STARTING THE ENGINE
A more detailed description of the engine operation and all related precautions and procedures can be found
in the Engine Manual packed separately with the Mini Transporter.
Follow the procedure below for cold starts:
1. Turn choke lever on the engine to full choke position.
2. Set the throttle lever on the handlebar at halfway position.
3. Turn the engine switch on.
4. Pull the starting rope slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburettor. Then
hold the start handle firmly and pull rope out a short distance until you feel some resistance. Then pull the
rope smoothly and briskly and allow rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back. If necessary, pull
the rope several times until the engine starts.
5. Allow the engine to run for several seconds to warm up. Then, gradually move chock lever to “OPEN”
position.

Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous running does not normally require use of the choke.
1. Set the throttle lever on the handlebar at halfway position.
2. Hold the start handle firmly and pull rope out a short distance until you feel some resistance. Then pull the
rope smoothly and briskly and allow rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back.
•After engine warms up, pull throttle lever to accelerate engine speed.
•Engage the required gear and slowly squeeze the clutch control lever. If the gear does not engage straight
away, slowly release the clutch lever and try again. In this way the Mini Transporter will start moving.
•The Mini Transporter has the steering levers on the handle bars, and this makes steering very easy. To
•turn right or left, simply operate the corresponding right or left steering lever.
•The sensitivity of the steering increases in proportion to the speed of the machine and that with the
empty machine, a light pressure on the lever is all that is needed to turn. While when the machine is
loaded, more pressure is required.
•The Mini Transporter has a maximum capacity of 300kg. However, it is advisable to assess the load and
adjust it according to the ground on which the machine will be used.
•It is therefore advisable to cover such stretches using low gear and taking extra care. In such situations,
the machine should be kept in low gear for the whole stretch.
•Avoid sharp turns and frequent changes of direction while driving on the road, in particularly on rough,
hard terrains full of sharp, uneven points with a high degree of friction.
•Even though the unit has rubber tracks, remember to be careful when working in adverse weather
conditions (ice, heavy rain and snow) or on types of ground that could make the Mini Transporter
•unstable.
•Please note that as this is a tracked vehicle, it is subject to a considerable pitching movement when
•passing over bumps, holes and steps.
•When the clutch control lever is released, the machine will stop and brake automatically.
•If the machine is stopped on a steep slope, a wedge should be placed against one of the tracks.
IDLE SPEED
Set throttle control lever to its “SLOW” position to reduce stress on the engine when working is not being
performed. Lowering the engine speed to idle the engine will help extend the life of the engine, as well as
conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the machine.
STOPPING ENGINE
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Under normal
conditions, use the following procedure.
1. Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.
2. Let engine idle for one or two minutes.
3. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Do not move choke control to CHOKE to stop the Engine. Backfire or engine damage may occur.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
A proper maintenance and lubrication will help the machine in a perfect working condition.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
•Turn off engine and disengage all command levers.
•Engine must be cool.
•Inspect the general condition of the unit. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts,
cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
•Remove all debris and other materials that may have accumulated to the track and unit. Clean after each
use. Then use a premium quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.
Never use a pressure washer to the machine.
Water can penetrate tight areas of the machine and its transmission case and cause damage to spindles,
gears, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
As clutch wears out, the same lever could have a wider opening, being so uneasy to use. This means that it is
necessary to adjust the cable, setting clutch lever on its original position acting on the adjustment device and
on counter-nut.
STEERING ADJUSTMENT
If you have difficulty steering the unit, you will need to adjust the steering levers with the special adjusters.
Slacken off the locknut and unscrew the adjusters to eliminate the play in the cable, which can occur after
initial use or normal wear. Be very careful not to unscrew the adjusters too much because this can create
another problem: the loss of traction. Remember to tighten the locknut when you have finished.
GEARBOX LUBRICATION
The gearbox is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory.
Unless there is evidence of leakage or a service has to be performed on the gearbox, no additional lubrication
should be required until 50 hours usage.
Check oil level every 50 hours of working. Capacity is 1.5L.
Gear oil GL-5 or GL-6, SAE80W-90 are recommended. Do not use synthetic oils.
When replacing gear oil, the engine must be stopped and still be warm. Unscrew the filter cap and drain the
plug. When the oil has drained, replace the drain plug, fill with fresh recommended gear oil and then replace
the oil filler cap.

TIGHTENING TRACKS
With use, tracks tend to loosen. When operating with loose tracks, they tend to slip over the driving wheel
causing it to jump its housing or to work in precarious situation, thus damaging wear to the housing.
To check track tightness, proceed as follows.
1. Set the machine on a flat surface with compact ground, better on an asphalt or stone pavement.
2. Lift the machine and set it on blocks or supports rated for the weight of the machine so that the tracks are
approximately 100mm off the ground.
3. Measure the track midline vs. the horizontal line. The reading must not be more than 10-15mm.
If the distance is greater, proceed as follows.
1. Use the tipping handle to tip the dump tub and set it on blocks or supports rated for the weight of the box.
2. Loosen locknut A.
3. Tighten bolt B until the correct tightness is restored.
4. Secure bolt B by tightening locknut A thoroughly.
5. Return the dump tub to its original position.
The adjustment of the track and the brakes are linked, therefore be very careful because if the track is
overtightened, the braking effect will be lost.
If the adjustment bolt has no more adjustment left, the tracks may have to be replaced.

REPLACING TRACKS
Check the condition of the tracks periodically. If any track is cracked or frayed, it should be replaced as soon as
convenient.
1. Loosen the locknut A and bolt B shown in above figure to let the tracks loose enough.
2. Slip the old tracks off and install the new tracks.
3. Adjust bolt B to assure correct tightness.
4. Secure bolt B by tightening locknut A thoroughly.
When removing or installing the tracks, be careful not to get your fingers caught between the track and
pulley.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Refer to the Engine Manual included with your machine for information on engine maintenance. Your engine
manual provides detailed information and a maintenance schedule for performing tasks.
All engine enquiries should be raised with the engine manufacturer or one of their approved service dealers.
STORAGE
If the Mini Transporter will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare
your unit for storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has a high gum
content and can clog the carburettor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine & allow it to run until it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the carburettor. This helps
prevent deposits forming inside the carburettor and possible engine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, but not hot, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the grade
recommended in the Engine Manual.
