Store idle machine out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate it. Machine
is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Service
Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting, shut off the engine and
make certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.
Have your machine serviced by qualified repair personnel using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
machine maintained.

Specific safety rules

Thoroughly inspect the area to be worked, keep the working area clean and
free of debris to prevent tripping. Operate on a flat level ground.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement
should occur during assembly, installation, and operation, maintenance,
repairing or moving.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 23m (75feet) away. If you
are approached, stop the unit immediately.
Do not mount on dump box and never carry passengers.
Never park the machine in a place with unstable ground which could give
way, particularly when it is full.
Disengage clutch lever before starting the engine.
Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with feet well away
from the moving parts.
Never leave the operating position when the engine is running.
Always hold the unit with both hands when operating. Keep a firm grip on
the handlebars. Be aware that the machine may unexpectedly bounce
upward or jump forward if the machine should strike buried obstacles such
as large stones.
Walk, never run with the machine.
Do not overload the machine capacity.
Drive at a safe speed, adjusting the speed to the slope of the land, the
surface conditions of the road, and the weight of the load.
Use extreme caution when in reverse or pulling the machine towards you.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives,
walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
On soft ground, drive at the first forward/reverse gear. Do not rapidly
accelerate, turn sharply or stop.
Pay the utmost attention when working on frozen ground as the machine
may tend to skid.
If possible, avoid driving on pebbly river bed, crushed stone terrains, steel
concrete, stumpy field, logs etc., since such operation causes fatal damage
or shortens life span of tracks.
Do not operate the machine in confined areas where there may be a risk of
crushing the operator between the machine and another object.
Never operate the machine on slopes where angle is over 20°.
When moving over a slope, whether moving forward or in reverse, always
make certain that the weight is evenly balanced. Always move in directions
parallel with the slope (up or down). To avoid danger, do not shift gears on
slopes.
When tipping the load from a dumper, the center of gravity will change
continuously and the ground conditions will be essential for the stability of
the machine. There are special hazards for the dumpers working on soft
ground and when the load is sticking to body e.g wet clay.
