Operating the Wheel Barrow
IMPORTANT: Always read all separate instruction manuals supplied with the
power unit before use, to ensure you are familiar with the machine’s controls.
7.1
Transporting
When transporting the Wheel Barrow attached to power unit be careful not to
strike objects, people, animals, walls, gates etc during transportation as injury or
damage could result.
Never transport the Wheel Barrow without the body being in its locked, down
position.
Select a suitable speed gear and proceed with caution.
NB: ENSURE THE PTO LEVER IS NOT ENGAGED ON YOUR POWER UNIT. DO NOT
ENGAGE THE PTO LEVER DURING TRANSPORTATION.
To transport the Wheel Barrow in a vehicle or trailer, ensure the Wheel Barrow
is placed on a firm flat surface and is suitably secured using ratchet straps or
equivalent securing devices. If the Wheel Barrow is not suitably restrained it could
cause damage or injury.
7.2 Working the WB227 Wheel Barrow
Ensure the working area is clear of people.
Ensure that during the operation of the Wheel Barrow people and animals cannot
enter the working area.
Before moving off ensure the body is locked in
its down position (Fig. 9).
Follow the instructions for your two-wheel
tractor to engage the wheel drive and do not
engage the PTO. Always select a wheel speed
that allows full control of the two wheeled
tractor and the Wheel Barrow.
If the Wheel Barrow is used on uneven surfaces care must be taken as the Wheel
Barrow could cause the two wheeled tractor to tip over.
Heavy loads must always be evenly distributed or secured in the Wheel Barrow. If
a heavy load is not evenly distributed or secured then it could result in instability.
7.3 Stopping the WB227 Wheel Barrow
The WB227 Wheel Barrow is controlled via your two-wheel tractor power unit. To
stop the machine, follow the standard operating procedures to stop the wheel drive
and power take off drive as instructed in your two-wheel tractor manual.
