Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over
accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you
feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this
manual to measure slopes before operating this machine on
a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 10 degrees as
shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this machine on that
area or serious injury could result. When operating on slopes,
reduce load box capacity to 400 lb. maximum and keep load low
to avoid tip-over.
Do:
Operate up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme 1.
caution when changing direction on slopes.
Reduce speed, especially when going downhill, to avoid 2.
loss of control.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects 3.
that could cause you to slip or trip or cause the machine to
tip over.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause 4.
serious injury. If you feel you are losing your balance,
release the controls immediately and the machine will
quickly come to a stop.
Avoid sudden stops, particularly when going downhill. 5.
First release the drive control and let the unit come to
a complete stop. Then release the brake lever which
automatically applies the parking brake. Releasing the
brake lever too quickly will result in an abrupt stop and
could cause the machine to tip forward.
Avoid rapid engagement of the drive controls. Gently 6.
squeeze the drive lever to start the machine moving and
gradually squeeze it more to increase speed.
Do Not:
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly 1.
and gradually, if possible.
Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. 2.
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel gets too
close to the edge of a drop-off, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause 3.
you to slip or the unit to slide.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.4.
Maximum Capacity/Loading
Do not exceed 500 lb. on level ground or 400 lb. on slopes 1.
(max. 10 deg.).
Make sure dump latch is securely latched before loading or 2.
operating unit.
Spread load evenly. Secure load to prevent movement. 3.
Avoid top-heavy loads which could cause machine to tip.
Go slow. Avoid sudden starts and stops which could cause 4.
load to shift and loss of control.
When lowering bed keep hands and other body parts from 5.
between bed and frame.
Children
1. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to 1.
the presence of children. Children may be attracted to the
machine and the hauling activity. They do not understand
the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where
you last saw them.
Keep children out of the work area and in watchful a.
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the b.
area.
Before and while backing, look behind and down for c.
small children.
Never carry children in or on the unit. They may fall d.
from the unit and be seriously injured or interfere
with safe machine operation.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, e.
doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects that may
block your vision of a child who may run into the
path of the machine.
Keep children away from hot or running engines. f.
They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this 2.
machine. Children 14 and over should read and understand
the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual
and on the machine and should be trained and supervised
by an adult.

Service
Safe Handling of Gasoline:
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme 1.
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious
personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on
yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin
and change clothes immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline container. a.
Never fill containers placed inside the motorized b.
wheelbarrow’s plastic cargo bed, inside a vehicle, or
on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle before filling.
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment c.
from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on
a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel d.
tank or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other e.
sources of ignition.
Never fuel machine indoors. f.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine g.
is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two
minutes before refueling.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ h.
inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for
fuel expansion.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely. i.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and j.
equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5
minutes before starting the engine.
To reduce fire hazards, keep engine free of grass, k.
leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel
spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.
Never store the machine or fuel container inside l.
where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light
as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes
dryer or other gas appliances.
Allow a machine to cool at least five minutes before m.
storing.
General Service
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. 1.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless,
and deadly gas.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, disconnect 2.
the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to
prevent unintended starting.
Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to 3.
wear during normal operation. Contact your local dealer if
service is required.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the 4.
equipment is in safe working condition.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper 5.
operation regularly.
Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the 6.
machine while the engine is running.
Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed 7.
the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as 8.
necessary.
If machine should start making an unusual noise or 9.
vibration, stop the engine and wait at least 5 min. for it
to cool. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and inspect for damaged
parts. Clean and repair or replace damaged parts.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, 10.
etc. to protect the environment.
It is recommended that you have the machine inspected 11.
periodically by an authorized service dealer to ensure that
all mechanical and safety systems are working properly
and not worn excessively. Failure to do so can result in
accidents, injuries or death. The frequency of inspection
should increase as use and age of the machine increases.
Periodically inspect belt for cracks or wear. If necessary 12.
replace belt with approved service part.
Do not modify engine
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any
way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway
engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper
with factory setting of engine governor.
Notice Regarding Emissions
Engines which are certified to comply with California and federal
EPA emission regulations for SORE (Small Off Road Equipment)
are certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline, and
may include the following emission control systems: Engine
Modification (EM), Oxidizing Catalyst (OC), Secondary Air
Injection (SAI) and Three Way Catalyst (TWC) if so equipped.
Spark Arrestor
WARNING! This machine is equipped with an
internal combustion engine and should not be used
on or near any unimproved forest-covered,
brushcovered or grass-covered land unless the
engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark
arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if
any).
If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective
working order by the operator. In the State of California the
above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public
Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws
apply on federal lands.
A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your
nearest engine authorized service dealer or contact the service
department, P.O. Box 361131 Cleveland, Ohio 44136-0019.
