allows for extended uninterrupted use. Maximum speed of
the power buggy is rated at 7.25 mph (11.7 km/h).

wheels can be removed to allow the buggy to pass through
a 32 in. (81.28 cm.) door.
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-16EF CE is powered by a HONDA GX390 air
cooled gasoline engine rated at 11.7 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.
