Operating Procedures Continued

• Driving the Powered Drum Truck

1. Ensure the drum is secured to the truck.

2. On the control panel, turn the key switch to the on position.

3. Check that the forward/reverse switch is in the proper position for the direction

you want to go.

NOTE: An audible horn will sound when the truck is in reverse.

4. With both hands on the handles, twist the throttle to move the truck.

The throttle is a variable speed control for the motor; the more the throttle is

twisted, the faster the drum truck will travel.

5. To stop, release the throttle; the electric motor will oer some braking. If

necessary, use the hand brake to come to a complete stop.

6. Never operate the Powered Hand Truck on an incline greater than 5-degrees. The

braking system may not be able to slow or stop a loaded truck.

Always keep both hands on the handles while driving; if the drum contents shift and/

or incline changes, the truck may want to brake over. Failure to do so could result in the

truck braking over unexpectedly, causing equipment damage and/or physical injury.

WARNING

Never leave the powered drum truck parked on an incline. The electric motor is NOT

equipped with a parking brake.
