Creep Speed
Buggy should be operated at full speed only when traveling on a flat and level surface.
When traveling on surfaces that are not flat and level, DO NOT exceed a creep speed
of 10 feet in 5 seconds (120 feet per minute or 1.36 miles per hour), because the buggy
does not have a speedometer, always apply good judgment when determining a safe
and proper creep speed.
Travel on Uneven/Rough Terrain
Do not ride the buggy if the buggy is to travel on uneven/rough terrain. Instead,
raise and secure the platform and walk behind the buggy. Check to make certain
that the mounting bolts are sufficiently tight to retain it in that position. Do not
exceed creep speed.
Travel on Slopes
Do not travel on slopes with a loaded bucket facing downhill.
Traveling with a loaded bucket
When traveling on slopes with a loaded bucket
– ensure the bucket is
positioned on the uphill end of the unit, and the operator is on the downhill
end of the unit.
Traveling with an unloaded bucket
When traveling on slopes with an unloaded bucket
– ensure the bucket is
positioned on the downhill end of the unit.
Determine if any slopes on your travel route exceed the maximum permissible grade of
10%.
Do not use buggy on any slope that exceeds 10% grade.
FILLING/ DUMPING
Know the rated load capacity of the buggy. Do not exceed the capacity of the buggy, and
account for conditions that can reduce the load that should be carried such as, ground
conditions, slopes, etc.
•
If there is any question of overloading, separate the load into two or more loads.
•
Always use a signal person if you cannot see the placement point.
•
Ensure buggy is stopped and parking brake is set before filling or
dumping. Do not dump buggy when facing downhill on slope.
•
Do not stand in front of or alongside the buggy where you intend to unload.
•
Do not dump buggy towards other personnel.
•
Do not touch, lean on or reach through the dump mechanisms.
