AWD Power Buggy Operation
Checking The Work Area
Inspect the surface over which you will travel. Look for holes,
drop-offs and obstacles. Look for rough spots. Look for weak
spots on docks, ramps or floor. Look for oil spills, wet spots and
slippery surfaces. Look for soft soil, deep mud and standing
water. Watch for anything that might make you lose control or
cause the Buggy to tip over.
Clear away trash and debris. Pick up anything that might punc-
ture the tires. Make sure aisles, ramps, doorways and passages
are clear. Plan your work. Make sure you know where you will
make your pickups, dumps and turns. Before you take a load,
know where you will place it.
Checking Overhead Obstacles
Check the clearances of doorways, canopies and overheads.
Know exactly how much clearance you have under power and
telephone cables. Also check clearances when transporting the
AWD Power Buggy on a truck or trailer.
Hauling Capacities
Know the rated load capacities of your AWD Power Buggy and
never exceed them.
ALWAYS
refer to buggy’s rated hauling
capacity before loading. Keep in mind that the AWD Power Buggy

or inclined surfaces. Operating conditions can reduce the amount
that should be carried.
ALWAYS

all height to avoid contacting overhead obstructions such as

and ramp capacities.
