Starting Instructions
Before starting engine, refer to engine manufacturer’s manual, and follow the steps below.
1. Engage Park Brake.
2. Set Engine operating speed control to the idle position.
3. Check Speed Control linage located on right handle bar. Speed Control should work
freely and return to closed position when released. If operation of Speed Control is not
free, do not attempt to start engine until corrected.
4. Turn on fuel control valve if your particular engine is so equipped.
5. Set Choke as recommended in the Engine Manufacturers Manual.
6. Pull Rope Starter or engage Electric Starter if so equipped.

before transporting or moving loads.
General Travel
Keep personnel clear of the buggy during travel.
Do not allow anyone to stand/pass in front of the buggy during travel.
Do not approach personnel standing in front of fixed objects. Do not allow others to ride on the
buggy.
Test the controls for proper operation. Be certain you can control both speed and direction
before moving.
Keep both hands on the steering handle during travel.
Avoid sudden starts, stops and direction changes.
Do not operate on surfaces containing holes, drop offs, or obstacles or
slopes which exceed 10% (6°) grade.
Ensure that all surfaces are capable of supporting the buggy and load.
Look for and avoid oil spills, wet or slippery surfaces that may cause loss of control.
Maintain clearances from obstacles.
Make sure aisle, ramps, doorways and passages are clear.
Clear away trash and debris. Pick up anything that may puncture a tire. If buggy is to travel on
slops, refer to the “Travel on Slopes” section. If buggy is to travel on uneven/rough terrain, refer
to the “Travel on Uneven/Rough Terrain” section.
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.
