Inspect Your Machine

• Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely tightened.
• Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical condition. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel leaks. Keep the machine in safe working condition.
• Do not use the machine if the engine's switch does not turn off the engine when running. Any gasoline powered machine that can't be controlled with the engine switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
• Regularly check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine area before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine's switch is off before transporting the machine or performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or performing maintenance or service on a machine with its switch on invites accidents.
• If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.

Engine Safety

• This machine is equipped with an internal combustion engine. Do not use on, or near, forest-covered, or brush-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local, state, or federal laws.
• In some states, a spark arrester is required by law. 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 monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Do not tamper with the engine to get it to run at higher speeds. The maximum engine speed is pre-set 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 Safety

• Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapours 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 electrical parts and connections. 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. Because engine heat can cause fuel to expand, never fill the tank to more than 12 mm 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 vapours have dissipated.
• 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.

Specific Safety Rules

• Thoroughly inspect the area to be worked. Keep the working 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, installation, operation, maintenance, repair, or relocation.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 23m away. If you are approached, stop the unit immediately.

Adding Fuel to the Engine

WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. 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.

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).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! 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 emission control system components. Filling to the recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention 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.

1. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.

Starting the Engine

1. Move the engine switch to the ON position.

1. Open the fuel shutoff valve.

1. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. If the engine is hot, closing the choke is not necessary.

1. Move the throttle lever slightly to the FAST speed.

1. Pull the recoil starter until the engine starts. Return the recoil to the home position after each pull. Repeat the steps as needed. Once engine has started, set the throttle to the FAST position before you operate the unit.

WARNING! Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.

Operating

• 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 mini tracked dumper will start moving.
- The mini tracked dumper 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 to turn. When the machine is fully loaded, more pressure is required.
- The mini tracked dumper has a maximum capacity of 498kg (1100lbs.). 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 mini tracked dumper 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 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.

Stop 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 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.

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 cur.

Maintenance

Maintaining your mini tracked dumper will ensure long life to the machine and its components.

Preventive Maintenance

1. Turn off the engine and disengage all command levers. The engine must be cool.
2. Keep the engine's throttle lever in its SLOW position and remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug and secure.
3. Inspect the general condition of the mini tracked dumper. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
4. Use a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air to remove all contaminants from the machine. Then use high quality light oil to lubricate all moving parts.
5. Replace the spark plug wire.

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 The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

Adjusting the Clutch

When the clutch begins to show wear, the handle reach will become wider, making it more difficult to reach. Follow these steps to return the clutch lever back to its original position.

1. Loosen the jam nut by turning it counter clockwise with 10 mm wrench.
2. Tighten or loosen the cable by turning the cable adjustment nut clockwise or counter clockwise with 10 mm wrench until you have reached your required tightness.
3. Once tightness is set, return the jam nut against the handle to hold the cable in place.

Adjusting the Steering

If steering becomes difficult to engage, follow these steps to adjust the cable tension.

1. Loosen the jam nut by turning it anti-clockwise with 10mm wrench.
2. Tighten or loosen the cable by turning the cable adjustment nut clockwise or anti-clockwise with 10mm wrench until you have reached your required tightness.
3. Once tightness is set, return the jam nut against the handle to hold the cable in place.

If the above adjustment does not create enough cable tension, follow the steps below:

1. Loosen the jam nut by turning it anti-clockwise with 12mm wrench.
2. Tighten or loosen the cable by turning the cable adjustment nut clockwise or anti-clockwise with 10mm wrench until you have reached your required tightness.
3. Once tightness is set, return the jam nut against the handle to hold the cable in place.

Replacing the Drive Belt

1. Remove the three belt covers, as shown.

1. Remove the belt cover for the gearbox pulley.

1. Disassemble the two M10×25 bolts, spring washers and flat washers, remove the pump with flange. Turn the gearbox pulley and pull out the belt.

Lubrication

General Lubrication

Lightly lubricate all moving parts of the machine at end of the season or every 25 operating hours.

Gearbox Lubrication

• The gearbox is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. Unless there is evidence of leakage or service has been performed on the gearbox, no additional lubricate should be required until 50 hours use.
  • After first 50 hours use, change all the gear oil. Capacity is 1.5L.
• For future use, check the oil level after every 50 hours of use. If you remove the oil level plug and no oil flows out, please add oil and then screw the oil level plug.
  • Gear oil GL-5 or GL-6, SAE80W-90 is recommended. Do not use synthetic oil.
• 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.

Hydraulic Oil

1. Unscrew the locking nut to drain the oil into the pan.

1. Remove the oil dipstick and add the oil. The recommended hydraulic oil is 10W AW32, ASLE H-150, or ISO 32. Tank Capacity is 3L.

Tightening the 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 10 cm 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 hopper 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 hopper to its original position.

CAUTION: 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. If the adjustment bolt has no more adjustment left, the tracks may have to be replaced.

Replacing the Tracks

Check the condition of the tracks periodically. If any track is cracked or frayed, it should be replaced as soon as convenient.

1. Lift up the hopper and insert a support rod for safety purposes.
2. Lift the machine and set it on blocks or supports rated for the weight of the machine so that the tracks are approximately 10cm off the ground.

1. Remove the three M8×16 bolts and washers that fix the track protection guard.

1. Remove the two M10 nuts and washers from the side of track protection guard.

1. Loosen the adjusting bolts and pull the steering wheel axle toward the engine, then track will be loosened.

1. Remove the M10×60 bolt, washers, and nut from the driving wheel.

1. Pull out the whole track with driving wheel.

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 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 mini tracked dumper 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 containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has high gum content and can clog the carburettor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and run until it stops. This helps prevent gum deposits from forming inside the carburettor and possible engine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the grade recommended in the Engine Manual.
4. Use a clean cloth 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.

1. Inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
2. 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.
