WHEELBARROW OPERATION

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 provide space for expansion.

STARTING 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 powered wheelbarrow.

Follow the procedure below for cold starts:

Turn the choke lever on the engine to the full choke position.
Set the throttle lever on the handlebar at the halfway position.
Turn the engine switch on.
Pull the starting rope slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburetor. Then hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope out a short distance until you feel some resistance.
- Then pull the rope smoothly and briskly, and allow the rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back. If necessary, pull the rope several times until the engine starts.
Allow the engine to run for several seconds to warm up. Then, gradually move the chock lever to the “OPEN” position.

Restarting an engine that is already warm from the previous running does not normally require the use of the choke.
Set the throttle lever on the handlebar at the halfway position. Hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope out a short distance until you feel some resistance.
Then pull the rope smoothly and briskly, and allow the rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back.

OPERATING

After the engine warms up, pull the 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 powered wheelbarrow will start moving.
The powered wheelbarrow has steering levers on the handlebars 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 with the empty machine, a light pressure on the lever is all that is needed to turn. When the machine is loaded, more pressure is required.
The powered wheelbarrow 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, particularly on rough, hard terrains full of sharp, uneven points with a high degree of friction.
Remember to be careful when working in adverse weather conditions(ice, heavy rain, and snow)or on types of ground that could make the powered wheelbarrow unstable.
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 wheels.

IDLE SPEED

Set the throttle control lever to its”SLOW” position to reduce stress on the engine when work 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 condi-tions, use the following procedure.

Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.
Let the engine idle for one or two minutes.
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.

MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance and lubrication will help the machine in a perfect working condition.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Turn off the engine and disengage all command levers. The 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 on 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 clean your unit. 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 reduced serviceability

ADJUSTING CLUTCH

As the 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 the clutch lever on its original position acting on the adjustment device and the counter-nut.

ADJUSTING STEERING

If you have difficulty steering the unit, you will need to adjust the steering levers with the special adjusters. Slacken off the lock nut 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 lock nut when you have finished.

LUBRICATION

The gearbox is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory.-Check oil level every 50 hours of working. Remove the plug and check, with the machine horizontal, oil reaches the two notches.
If necessary, add the oil. Gear oil GL-5 or GL-6. SAE8OW-90 is recommended. Do not use synthetic oil Oil must be replaced when hot by unscrewing the filler cap and plug equipped with an oil dipstick.
When the oil is completely drained, replace the filler cap and fill up with new oil.

TIRE PRESSURE

Check the pressure of tires periodically to make sure they are properly inflated. The recommended pressure is 30 psi for all the tires.
Separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly.

Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.
Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel. Heating can cause an increase in the air pressure resulting in a burst.
Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly while inflating.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Refer to the Engine Manual included in your unit for the information on engine maintenance. Your engine manual provides detailed information and a maintenance schedule for performing the tasks.

STORAGE

If the powered wheelbarrow will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare your unit for storage.

Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has high gum content and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel flow
Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the carburetor. Run the engine until it stops. This helps prevent gum deposits from forming inside the carburetor and possible engine damage.
While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the grade recommended in the Engine Manual.
Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the machine and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.
- Do not use strong detergents or petroleum-based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can damage plastics.
Inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
Store your unit on flat ground in a clean, dry building that has good ventilation.
- Do not store the machine with fuel in a non-ventilated area where fuel fumes may reach flame, sparks, pilot lights, or any ignition sources.
