STEERING
Your Powermover is equipped with a steering handle that turns the Powermover when pushed to the
right or left. There is a caster under the rear of the PowerMover that swivels as you turn.
CAUTION: WHEN FIRST LEARNING TO OPERATE THE POWERMOVER SLOW AND
EASY IS THE BEST POLICY FOR BOTH THE SPEED CONTROL AND THE STEERING
CONTROL. USE SLOW SPEED WHEN MAKING TURNS.
HYDRAULIC LIFT
The hydraulic lift option is designed to provide traction for moving heavy objects by transferring some
of the weight from the object being moved to the front drive wheels of the Powermover. This transfer of
weight is essential to move many of the heavier objects. It also provides a quick way to attach to the
load.
HOUR METER
The hour meter is standard equipment on every Powermover as of June 1, 2001. We suggest you keep a
log book so you know the proper time to service your Powermover. The hour meter is located in the
handle.
OPTIONS
HYDRAULIC LIFT
See paragraph on hydraulic lift.
WEIGHT KIT
Sometimes it is necessary to add weight to move certain loads, especially on non-hydraulic lift models.
A variety of weights are available to assist where needed.
FOAM FILLED TIRES
It is highly recommended to foam fill the tires. It adds weight. Allows the tires to carry a heavier load.
Prevents flat tires from occurring.
NON MARKING TIRES
Gray non marking tires are available for the Powermover.
ATTACHMENTS
Many jobs require some type of special attachment. We custom make whatever is necessary to do the
job. The following standard brackets are available. J-type hooks, pintle hooks, hitch balls, hitch pins, o-
rings and saddles. The attachments are adjustable to fit almost any need.
SAFETY SWITCH
The reversing safety switch is located on top of the handle and is designed to activate if you are backing
up and it hits your belly. When the switch hits your belly it will depress the switch, which immediately
reverses the motor. It is not possible to go backwards when the switch has been activated until you reset
the switch. You reset the switch by turning it clockwise. You will hear a click and see the switch pop out
to its normal set position. You will now be able to go in reverse.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT WHEN LIFTING A LOAD WITH THE HYDRAULIC LIFT
THAT YOU ONLY LIFT IT HIGH ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE GROUND SURFACE AND
THEN MOVE THE LOAD. SHOULD YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE MOVING
THE LOAD YOU CAN QUICKLY LOWER IT TO THE GROUND.
