Function Test
After engine has warmed to operating temperature make the following checks:
1. In a level, open area, with the Parking Brake engaged, check for free speed control
operation. If operation of Speed Control is not free, do not attempt to operate buggy
until corrected.
2. Set engine at idle, with Parking Brake engaged, slowly activate speed control slightly, for
a short period of time to test the Brake holding capacity. If the Power Buggy will move,
adjust the Brake in accordance with the maintenance and adjustment instruction. If
the Power Buggy does not move, release the speed control and disengage the Parking
Brake. If Buggy tends to creep, adjust the pump control lever until the creeping is
eliminated.
3. At a slow speed, operate Buggy and become familiar with its Speed Control operation,
Brake operation, and Steering.
Worksite Inspections
Check the Entire Area.
Inspect the entire surface over which you will travel. Look for holes, drop offs and obstacles.
Look for rough spots. On docks, ramps or floors look for weak spots. Look for oil spills, wet
spots and slippery surfaces. Look for soft soil, deep mud and standing water. On rough terrain
or slopes, watch for anything that might make you lose control or cause the buggy to tip over.
Inspect the grade of the path you will travel. The maximum permissible grade upon which the
Power Buggy may be used is 10% (6°). Determine if any slopes on your path of travel exceed
the maximum permissible grade of 10% (6°). Do not travel on any areas that are too steep.
