OPERATION MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Vehicle braking and stabil-
ity may be affected with the addition of
an accessory or an attachment. Be aware
of changing conditions on slopes.
1. Refer to the vehicle operator's manual for instruc-
tions on safe operation on slopes.
2. Always operate at reduced speed on slopes.
3. Do not operate an ATV towing the cart on a slope
greater than 15 degrees.
4. Do not operate a tractor towing the cart on a slope
greater than 10 degrees. Use the slope guide on
page 9 of this manual.
NOTE
DO NOT EXCEED WEIGHT CAPACITY OF CART
(See the specifications on this page for each model)
One cubic foot of dirt weighs approximately 150 Ibs.
5. For best handling and traction, distribute the weight
of the load evenly in the cart.
6. Always test to make sure your vehicle has adequate
towing and braking capabilities when towing a load in
your cart. Use extra caution when operating on slopes.
7. Operate at reduced speed when towing a load.
8. The 45-0350 cart should not exceed 20 m.p.h., or
your vehicle's maximum safe towing speed, which-
ever is less. Refer to your vehicle operator's manual.
9. The 45-0351 cart should not exceed 10 m.p.h., or
your vehicle's maximum safe towing speed, which-
ever is less. Refer to your vehicle operator's manual.
1. Check for loose fasteners before each use.
2. At the beginning of each season, lubricate the
latch, the latch pivot bolt, and the bearings in the
walking beams with a light machine oil.
3. Grease the wheel bearings periodically. Use gen-
eral purpose grease.
4. Keep tires filled to the pressure recommended on
