GENERAL INFORMATION
The MQ Whiteman Power Buggy, Model WBH-21EFP
(recoil/electric start) is intended for the transportation of
concrete, concrete spreading and spot pouring. In addition,
this power buggy is designed for landscaping applications,
material sub-base distribution, job site cleanup and material
transport.
The Power Buggy is equipped with a 6-inch dump height
which provides clearance and enables the operator to
maneuver over any form height. In addition, it has a unique
polyethylene tub design that reduces concrete splatter.
A low center of gravity has been incorporated into the
design which provides added safety when maneuvering
the buggy in tight areas. A 7.5 gallon (28.3 liters) propane
fuel tank allows for extended uninterrupted use. Maximum
speed of the power buggy is rated at 7.25 mph (11.7 km/h).
The maximum weight capacity of the Power Buggy is
3,200 lbs. (1,451 kg).
Hand and foot controls are provided for ease of dumping
and stopping of the power buggy. Multiple lift points have
been provided to allow for easy access of a forklift when
lifting is required.
The WBH-21EFP is powered by a Briggs and Stratton
Vanguard twin cylinder, air cooled engine rated at 18 HP
at 3600 RPM.
The engine drives a variable displacement hydrostatic
transmission which is activated by a cable controlled
hand lever. The hydraulic fluid flows to a divider valve
which directs the fluid to the forward reverse and dumping
systems.
The operator controls the forward and reverse machine
travel by manually shifting the control valve which directs
the hydraulic fluid flow to the two drive wheel motors. The
flow to the dump cylinder is also controlled by a manually
operated control valve.
This hydraulic system uses a parallel loop configuration,
operating at a maximum of 2100 PSI (14,478 kPa). The
system also features a neutral position which allows the
power buggy to be moved in the event of an emergency.
The hydraulic oil is filtered by a screen type filter located in
the hydraulic tank, then doubled filtered within the system
by a 10 micron cartridge spin-on return filter.
WARNING
All operators must have training before operating the
power buggy. For your safety, warnings are on the
machine and in this manual. Failure to obey these
warnings can cause severe injury or even death.
CAUTION
This engine has been designed to use a special vapor
propane tank that is specifically designed for vapor run
small engine applications.
DO NOT attempt to operate the power
buggy until the Safety Information, General
Information, and Inspection sections of this
manual have been read and thoroughly
understood.
