General Information - MULTIQUIP WTB-16PD Operation Manual

The MQ Whiteman Track Power Buggy, WTB-16PD 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 10-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 5.0-gallon (20-liter) fuel tank allows
for extended uninterrupted use. The maximum speed of the
power buggy is rated at 5.1 mph (8.2 km/h).
This buggy employs 16-inch-wide rubber tracks to traverse
the terrain. The tracks allow the buggy to travel over soft
ground such as sand and wet surfaces. The rubber track
design increases the overall traction of the buggy.
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.
A pivot dump feature has been added to allow the tub to
be rotated either right or left when dumping of materials
is required.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The WTB-16PD model is powered by a Honda GX690
air-cooled, gasoline engine rated at 22 hp at 3,600 rpm.
The engine drives a variable displacement hydrostatic axial
piston pump.
The operator controls the forward and reverse machine
travel by manually shifting the control levers which directs
the hydraulic fluid flow to the drive motors. The fluid flow
to the dump cylinder is controlled by a manually operated
control valve.
This hydraulic system incorporates a closed loop
configuration operating at a maximum of 4,300 psi (300 bar).
The hydraulic oil is filtered by a screen-type filter located in
the hydraulic tank, then double-filtered within the system
by a 10-micron cartridge spin-on return filter.
