Material handling
DANGER: Improper use of this equipment may result in serious injury.
•
Heavy concentration of sand and gravel should be avoided. These materials
are extremely abrasive, and while the APV is designed to handle moderate
amounts of these materials it was not designed for heavy applications.
Because these materials are extremely heavy, only small amounts should be
allowed to collect in the bag because large amounts can cause poor handling
and difficulty in pushing.
•
The APV will handle most common types of debris found around industrial
plants, commercial buildings, homes and farms. Acid contaminated materials,
magnesium, dust and other DANGEROUS DEBRIS that is considered
hazardous should not be handled with the APV unless approved by a
regulating authority considered to be an expert in the handling of such
materials.
Height adjustment
Simply loosen the lower 4 sided knob on the left side of the handle
weldment and then move the adjustment bracket until you achieve the
proper height that is desired. Then tighten 4-sided knob to fix the bracket
into position.
