USER MANUAL
Please read the following instructions before using your new RAT Barrow
TRANSMISSION DISENGAGE
LINKAGE: To disengage the
transmission pull the linkage
rearward to it’s full extension.
This will disengage the
transmission allowing it to be
moved manually. To re-engage,
push the linkage inward
FUEL TAP: The red tap on the right hand
side of the engine is the fuel tap. It is
“ON” when it is horizontal and “OFF”
when vertical. Always turn tap to the
off position for transportation to avoid
flooding. It is advisable to turn the tap to
the “OFF” position if there are no plans
to use the RAT Barrow for an extended
period of time and allow the motor to
run out of fuel. Fuel should not be kept
for any more than 90 days
HAND BREAK: To engage the hand
brake you place your foot on the brake
pedal (left hand side) and then hold the
lever up as shown in the picture. Once
you have the lever up, release the pedal
and the Hand Brake is now activated. To
release you do the same action but push
the lever down
DRIVING: When driving your
RAT Barrow it is recommended
that you do so with your knees
together. This will allow you to
steer with ease and allow your
RAT Barrow to turn without
obstruction
REFUELLING, OIL TOP UP AND
SEAT ADJUSTMENT: Simply tilt
the seat towards the handlebar.
The fuel cap is situated in the
centre (black cap), the oil is
slightly to the left (yellow cap)
and the seat adjustment bolts are
found at the base
TIPPING THE TUB: When the tub has
been emptied, lower the tub whilst
holding the latch outward (towards the
rear of the unit) to ensure it goes over
the engagement bar. Make sure the latch
fits firmly under the bar so that the tub
does not lower while driving
MANUAL PULL START:
Turn the key to the on
position, ensure the fuel
tap is in the “on” position.
Pull the rope until it
starts. Note: Throttle
& choke controls are
automatic
