FUEL SAFETY
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAFETY
In the state of California, a spark arrester is required by
law. Other states have similar laws. A spark arrester, if
used, must be maintained in effective working order by
the operator.
Never start or run the engine inside a closed area. The
exhaust fumes are dangerous, containing carbon monox-
ide, an odorless and deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a
well ventilated outdoor area.
Do not tamper with the engine in an effort to get it to run
at higher speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by
the manufacturer and is within safety limits. See engine
manual.
Keep a Class B fire extinguisher on hand when operating
this machine in dry areas as a precautionary measure.
Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if
ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce the
chance of serious personal injury.
When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved
fuel storage container while in a clean, well-ventilated
outdoor area. While adding fuel or operating the unit, do
not smoke, and stay away from sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition near the area of operation. Never
fill the fuel tank indoors.
To avoid sparking or arcing, keep grounded conductive
objects - such as tools - away from exposed, live electri-
cal parts and connections. These events could ignite
fumes or vapors.
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. Because engine heat can
cause fuel to expand, never fill the tank to more than 1/2"
below the bottom of the filler neck. This will provide space
for fuel expansion.
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. Instead, move
the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissi-
pated.
When fuel is spilled on yourself or your clothes, wash your
skin and change clothes immediately.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for fuel storage.
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 any other source of ignition (such as a water
heater, furnace, or clothes dryer). Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
Thoroughly inspect the area to be worked. Keep the work-
ing area clean and free of debris to prevent tripping.
Operate on flat, level ground.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in
danger if movement should occur during assembly, instal-
lation, operation, maintenance, repair, or relocation.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 23m
away. If you are approached, stop the unit immediately.
Do not mount anything on the hopper and never carry
passengers.
Never park the machine in a place with unstable ground
that could give way, particularly when it is full.
Disengage clutch lever before starting the engine.
Start the engine carefully according to instructions and
with feet away from the moving parts.
Never leave the operating position when the engine is
running.
Always hold the unit with both hands when operating.
Keep a firm grip on the handlebars. Be aware that the
machine may unexpectedly bounce upward or jump
forward if the machine should strike buried obstacles
such as large rocks or roots.
Walk, never run with the machine.
Do not overload the machine capacity. Always drive at a
safe speed, and adjust the speed to the slope of the land,
the surface conditions of the road, and the weight of the
load.
Use extreme caution when in reverse or pulling the
machine towards you.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.

SAFETY
On soft ground, drive at the first forward/ reverse gear. Do
not rapidly accelerate, turn sharply or stop.
Pay the utmost attention when working on frozen ground,
as the machine may tend to skid.
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 angle is over
20°.
When operating on a slope, whether moving forward or in
reverse, always make certain that the weight is evenly
balanced. Always operate the machine straight up or
down slopes, never drive sideways or across the slope. Do
not shift gears on slopes.
When dumping the contents of the hopper, the center of
gravity will change continuously and the ground condi-
tions will be essential for the stability of the machine.
Use extra caution and control when dumping the hopper
on unstable ground, such as wet clay or soil.

3. Using a funnel, add oil up to the FULL mark on the
dipstick. (See engine manual for oil capacity, oil recom-
mendation, and location of fill cap.).
1. The engine must be off and allowed to cool at least two
minutes before adding fuel.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank. (See engine
manual for fuel capacity, fuel recommendation, and
location of fuel cap.)
No oil in the engine originally, but a bottle
of engine oil is in scope of delivery. Don't
start the engine before adding oil.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Check engine oil level
daily and add as needed.
This equipment and/or its engine may
include evaporative emissions control
system components, required to meet
EPA and/or CARB regulations, that will
only function properly when the fuel tank
has been filled to the recommended level.
Overfilling may cause permanent damage
to evaporative emissions control system
components. Filling to the recommended
level ensures a vapor gap required to
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close atten-
tion while filling the fuel tank to ensure
that the recommended fuel level inside
the tank is not exceeded. Use a portable
gasoline container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when filling the
tank. Do not use a funnel or other device
that obstructs the view of the tank filling
process.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You can be burned or seriously
injured when handling fuel. Use extreme
care when handling gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never indoors.
Gasoline vapors can ignite if they collect
inside an enclosure. Explosion can result.

5. Pull the recoil starter until engine compression has
become difficult to pull. Let the recoil return to the home
position, then pull quickly to start the engine. Repeat
steps as needed. Fully open the choke and set the throt-
tle to the FAST position, before operating the unit.
Set the throttle control lever to the SLOW position to
reduce stress on the engine when work is not being
performed. Lowering the engine speed will help extend the
life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel and reduce
noise level.
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the
engine switch to the OFF position. Under normal condi-
tions, use the following procedure:
1. Move the throttle lever to the SLOW( )position.
2. Let the 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.
After the engine warms up, move the throttle lever to
accelerate engine speed.
Engage the required gear and slowly squeeze the clutch
control lever. If the gear does not engage immediately,
slowly release the clutch lever and try again. In this way
the power trackbarrow will start moving.
The power trackbarrow has the steering levers on the
handlebars, which makes steering very easy. To turn right
or left, simply pull the corresponding right or left steering
lever.
The sensitivity of the steering increases in proportion to
the speed of the machine and the load. With an empty
machine, a light pressure on the lever is all that is needed
toturn. When the machine is fully loaded, more pressure
is required.
The power trackbarrow has a maximum capacity of 660
LBS. 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 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 power trackbarrow 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.
Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kick-
back) will pull your handand arm toward
the engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or
sprains could result.
Sudden stopping at a high speed under a
heavy load is not recommended. Engine
damage may result.
Do not move the choke control to CLOSE
to stop the engine. Backfire or engine
damage may occur.
3.Move the choke lever to the
CLOSED position.
If the engine is hot,
closing the choke is not
necessary.

Do not over-tighten your track. The
adjustment of the track and the brakes are
linked. The braking power will lessen the
more the track is tightened.
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, thus damaging wear to the
housing.
To check track tightness, proceed as follows.
1. Set the machine on a flat surface with compact
ground, or on asphalt or 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 4" off the ground.
3. Measure the track midline vs. the horizontal line. The
reading must not be more than 10cm-15cm
When replacing gear oil, the engine must be stopped and
still warm. Unscrew the filter cap and the drain plug.
When oil is drained, replace the drain plug, fill up with
fresh oil, and then replace the filter cap.
If the distance is greater, proceed as follows.
1. Use the tipping handle to tip the hopper and set it on
blocks or supports rated for the weight of the box.
2. Loosen lock nut A.
3. Tighten bolt B until the correct tightness is restored.
4. Secure bolt B by tightening lock nut A thoroughly.
5. Return the hopper to its original position.
