WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instruc- tions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Battery powered wheelbarrow safety warnings

While operating the machine, always wear non- slip and protective footwear. Non-skid, closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the risk of injury.

Inspect pathway before hauling objects/materials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the machine under load will help reduce losing control of the machine.

3. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and

unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces, may cause the machine to lose traction and may adversely a󰀨ect steering, braking and stability.

4. Do not operate the machine on excessively

steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi- mum recommended grade and side grades may increase the risk of instability and may adversely a󰀨ect the ability to stop safely.

5. When working on slopes, always be sure of

your footing, always work across the face of slopes, never up or down, and exercise extreme caution when changing direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.

6. Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-

ping, loading and unloading and never leave machine unattended on a slope. The machine is more unstable when resting on a slope than when resting on a level surface.

7. When leaving the machine unattended, set

parking brake once the machine is located in a safe stopping area. The parking brake prevents unwanted movement of the front wheel and can improve stability.20 ENGLISH

8. Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and

secure. In order to reduce the risk of injury, all ramps must be clear of loose debris and strong enough to withstand the weight of anticipated loads that will be moved over them. They must have adequate blocking underneath and to both sides to eliminate deections and side-to-side movement under load. All ramps must be wide enough to have sure footing while hauling loads across them.

9. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure

before using. Locking screws on the rear wheels and open-type carrier front and side walls must be secure to prevent unwanted movement of these adjustable parts of the machine.

10. Never operate the machine in an overloaded

condition. Make sure the machine has the proper capacity rating for the objects or materials that have to be hauled. Excessive loads will make the machine more di󰀩cult to maneuver and stop, will increase stopping time and distance, and will increase the risk of instability.

11. Never operate your machine in an over stacked

condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or over the sides of the tray can cause the machine to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.

12. Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.

Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely to shift which can result in loss of stability and control.

13. Always maintain a rm grip on handles. Loss of

control can increase the risk of personal injury.

14. Remove safety key when not in use. The safety

key prevents unwanted, powered use of the machine, such as by children or other untrained or unauthorized persons. Without the key, electric power cannot be turned “on”.

15. This machine cannot be used on public roads.

Use of the wheelbarrow on a public road is unlaw- ful and could result in local jurisdiction penalties in addition it could result in personal injury.

16. Use a sturdy plate with anti-slip and detach-

ment prevention function when loading and/ or unloading this machine for transportation, or moving this machine between di󰀨erent levels. Make sure the plate inclination does not exceed 12°, and operate the machine slowly and carefully. Unstable and quick operation may result in overturn and/or falling.

17. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this

machine. Preparation

4. When operating the machine in reverse and

walking backward, watch behind you and watch your step, and be careful not to slip or trip.

5. Do not use the machine when visibility is poor

because there is a risk of striking obstacles.

6. When operating the machine on rough ground

or going over the level di󰀨erence of the road, decrease speed and exercise caution.

7. When using the machine, avoid soft ground

to prevent overturn due to the shoulder of the road collapsing.

8. Do not operate the machine on upward slopes

9. If you nd an abnormality, stop the machine

on at ground. Before inspecting the machine, lock the brake lever, and then turn the power o󰀨.

10. Before operating the machine, make sure that

the handle of the dump unit is fully pulled down and completely locked. If the lock is incomplete, there is a risk of accident or injury as the carrier or bucket may be tilted and the objects fall when going downhill.

11. When operating the machine near walls, be

careful not to get your hands caught between the handle and the wall.

12. Do not use the machine in bad weather condi-

tions, especially when there is a risk of light- ning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

13. Do not touch the metal parts during use or

after use as they may get hot enough to cause burns due to sunlight.

14. Be careful not to entangle the cords with the

15. When crossing a wooden bridge, etc., make

sure that the sum of the weight of product, load capacity, and operator's weight does not exceed the weight limit of the bridge, and cross the bridge carefully at a constant speed.

16. Wear the gloves when operating the machine

in low temperature environments. Touching the metal parts with bare hands may cause your hands to stick.

17. If there are people or obstacles in the direction

of travel, avoid them in advance.

18. Do not scoop objects directly with the carrier

or bucket. Doing so may damage the machine and cause an accident.

19. When you use the machine on muddy ground,

wet slope, or slippery place, pay attention to your footing.

20. Do not submerge the machine into a puddle.

1. Do not cross on slopes.

2. Stop before the downhill, and be sure to

decrease speed and exercise caution.

3. If the speed is too fast when traveling downhill,

the beep sound is emitted. In this case, slow down using the brake.

4. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the

machine on slopes.21 ENGLISH

5. As the loads become less stable on slopes,

rmly secure the loads with ropes.

6. As the machine becomes unstable depending

on the condition of the road, keep the load to a minimum.

7. As the view is obscured on slopes, keep the

height of the load to a minimum.

8. Never stop the machine on slopes. Stop the

machine on at ground, and lock the brake lever, and then turn the power o󰀨.

9. Do not change the direction or speed mode on

10. Do not release the switch trigger on upward

slopes. The machine may go in reverse and cause an accident.

11. Make sure that the remaining battery capacity

is enough before operating on slopes. If the remaining battery capacity is not enough, charge the battery or replace it with a charged one.

12. When starting the machine on slopes, do not

place your foot behind the rear wheel since the machine moves back a few centimeters. Loading objects

1. Do not overload objects. When loading

objects, be sure to follow the instructions and load limits in the manual.

2. Since the larger the load, the more di󰀩cult it

is to operate the machine, keep the load within the range that does not a󰀨ect the operation.

3. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.

4. Load the objects within the carrier, bucket,

or at bucket. If the objects protrude from the carrier, bucket, or at bucket, there is a risk of accidents due to the objects falling or contact obstacles such as walls.

5. Be sure that loaded objects are below eye

level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous because the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk of overturning and injury because the load is likely to be unbalanced.

6. Load the objects on the carrier, bucket, or at

bucket evenly. If the objects are loaded unevenly, there is a risk of overturning and injury because the load is likely to be unbalanced.

7. Before loading the objects or operating the

machine, make sure that the handle of the dump unit is fully pulled down and completely locked.

8. Be sure to load heavy objects rst to keep

9. Do not extend the front and side rails on steep

slopes. Extend the side rails when lightweight objects are loaded.

10. When extending the front and side rails, do not

extend them over the extension limit. Be sure to extend the side rails so that the right and left sides are the same length, and load objects evenly.

11. Load and unload objects on at ground. Never

load or unload objects on slope.

12. When lifting and tilting the carrier or bucket,

hold the handles and frame rmly, and work in a stable posture.

13. When loading liquids, be careful not to spill

them. Spilling them may cause slipping and cause an injury. Transportation of machine

1. Use the ladder rails that are at least 4 times

as long as the height of the truck bed, with xtures suitable for the bed, with a non-slip surface and su󰀩cient width, and capable of withstanding the weight of the machine and operator. Read the instruction manual of the ladder rails carefully before use.

2. Before loading the machine, unload all objects

from the machine and remove mud and other debris from the tires. Install the ladder rails on a at and stable surface.

3. Before loading or unloading the machine,

make sure that there are no people around the machine and the ladder rails. Load or unload the machine at low speed, taking care to pre- vent the machine from falling o󰀨 the ladder rails, and not to hit your head on the ceiling of the truck. Use extreme caution when loading or unloading the machine backward.

4. When transporting the machine, lock the brake

lever, turn the power o󰀨, remove the batteries and lock key, and x the machine securely. Maintenance and storage
