D) During operation of this equipment:
Ø Use caution when operating near other personnel and obstructions. Always look to the rear
before backing up and back up slowly. Be aware of other job site traffic.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE WITH YOUR BACK FACING THE
CONTROLS. ALWAYS ORIENT YOURSELF SO YOU ARE STANDING AND
FACING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CONTROLS.
Ø If the operator chooses to ride behind the buggy during operation, the operator’s platform must
be lifted, pulled back & lowered down to the horizontal position before using the buggy. The only
place for the operator to stand on the buggy while operating the machine is on the opera-
tor’s platform FACING THE CONTROLS. Keep operator’s platform clean.
Ø Be sure dump body is securely down at all times when not actually dumping. Keep clear of
bucket when dumping and returning bucket to transport position.
DO NOT DUMP BED WHILE DRIVING EQUIPMENT. DUMP BUCKET ONLY
WHEN BUGGY IS ON A LEVEL SURFACE. FAILURE TO DUMP ON OTHER
THAN A LEVEL SURFACE MAY CAUSE BUGGY TO TIP.
THIS MACHINE IS DESIGNED TO DUMP LOOSE, FREE FLOWING MATERIALS LIKE WET
CONCRETE, SLAG, DRY SOIL, ETC. DO NOT DUMP MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT FREE
FLOWING, I.E., LARGE CHUNKS OF DRIED CONCRETE, CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, ETC.
THESE TYPES OF MATERIALS MAY CAUSE A SUDDEN LOAD SHIFT, TIP THE MACHINE
FORWARD, AND THROW THE OPERATOR. DO NOT LOAD A BUGGY WITH MATERIAL THAT
EXTENDS BEYOND THE VERTICAL EDGES OF THE BUCKET OR PLATFORM.
Ø This vehicle is not intended for the transportation of any personnel other than the operator. NO
RIDERS!
Ø Do not use excessive speed or operate recklessly. Careless operation causes accidents and
injury. SLOW DOWN when operating conditions so warrant i.e., approaching other personnel, wet
areas, and traveling up and down otherwise safe grade conditions. Always allow extra stopping
time when using a buggy on wet and/or loosely graded materials. The operator is solely respon-
sible for choosing a suitable machine travel speed for the existing job site conditions.
ALWAYS TRAVEL DOWN GRADES IN REVERSE WITH A LOADED
MACHINE. WHEN ON A GRADE NEVER TURN AND ALWAYS TRAVEL IN
A STRAIGHT LINE.
