The Handy THLC09715, Instruction Manual

Page: 15 / 28

Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous running does not normally require use of the choke.
1.
Set the throttle lever on the handlebar at halfway position.
2. Hold the start handle firmly and pull rope out a short distance until you feel some resistance. Then pull the
rope smoothly and briskly and allow rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back.
•
After engine warms up, pull throttle lever to accelerate engine speed.
•
Engage the required gear and slowly squeeze the clutch control lever. If the gear does not engage straight
away, slowly release the clutch lever and try again. In this way the Mini Transporter will start moving.
•
The Mini Transporter has the steering levers on the handle bars, and this makes steering very easy. To
•
turn right or left, simply operate the corresponding right or left steering lever.
•
The sensitivity of the steering increases in proportion to the speed of the machine and that with the
empty machine, a light pressure on the lever is all that is needed to turn. While when the machine is
loaded, more pressure is required.
•
The Mini Transporter has a maximum capacity of 300kg. However, it is advisable to assess the load and
adjust it according to the ground on which the machine will be used.
•
It is therefore advisable to cover such stretches using low gear and taking extra care. In such situations,
the machine should be kept in low gear for the whole stretch.
•
Avoid sharp turns and frequent changes of direction while driving on the road, in particularly on rough,
hard terrains full of sharp, uneven points with a high degree of friction.
•
Even though the unit has rubber tracks, remember to be careful when working in adverse weather
conditions (ice, heavy rain and snow) or on types of ground that could make the Mini Transporter
•
unstable.
•
Please note that as this is a tracked vehicle, it is subject to a considerable pitching movement when
•
passing over bumps, holes and steps.
•
When the clutch control lever is released, the machine will stop and brake automatically.
•
If the machine is stopped on a steep slope, a wedge should be placed against one of the tracks.
IDLE SPEED
Set throttle control lever to its “SLOW” position to reduce stress on the engine when working is not being
performed. Lowering the engine speed to idle the engine will help extend the life of the engine, as well as
conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the machine.
STOPPING ENGINE
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Under normal
conditions, use the following procedure.
1.
Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.
2. Let engine idle for one or two minutes.
3. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Do not move choke control to CHOKE to stop the Engine. Backfire or engine damage may occur.
