OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
1. At the beginning of each season, lubricate, with a light
machine oil, the latch, the latch pivot bolt, and the area
of the axle where the draw bar tongue pivots .
2. Grease or oil the wheel bearings periodically. Use
automotive wheel bearing type grease or 20 weight
oil.
3. Keep tires fi lled to the recommended tire pressure of
12-14 Lbs.
1. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for instructions on
safe operation on slopes.
2. Use the slope guide provided on page 11 of this
manual to determine if slope angle is too steep for safe
operation.
3. For best handling and traction, distribute the weight of
the load evenly in the cart.
4. Always test to make sure your tractor has adequate
towing and braking capabilities whenever hauling a
substantial amount of weight in your cart. Use extra
caution when operating on slopes.
DO NOT EXCEED 650 lb. WEIGHT CAPACITY OF CART
One cubic foot of dirt weighs approximately 150 lbs.
5. To dump material from the cart, remove the tailgate by
lifting it straight up and out from between the guides.
Release the spring latch on the tongue by pulling the
latch lock lever forward, away from the cart. The cart
bed will then tilt backwards to empty its contents. After
emptying, pull the front of the bed down toward the cart
tongue until the latch snaps into place. Replace the
tailgate if desired.
6. The maximum towing speed for this cart is 10 m.p.h.
IMPORTANT!
CAUTION: TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY,
BEFORE RELEASING THE LATCH BE
SURE THAT NO ONE IS NEAR THE
CART.
CAUTION: VEHICLE BRAKING AND
STABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED WITH THE
ADDITION OF AN ACCESSORY OR AN
ATTACHMENT. BE AWARE OF CHANGING
CONDITIONS ON SLOPES.
19. Turn cart over so that it rests right side up on its
wheels.
20. Assemble the end of the hitch bracket (two holes) down
through the slot at the front of the drawbar tongue.
Fasten it to the tongue using the 3/8" x 1" hex bolt, 3/8"
lock washer and 3/8" hex nut.
Tighten.
See fi gure 13.
21. Assemble the hitch pin through the hitch bracket and
the tongue and secure with the 1/8" hair cotter pin. See
fi gure 13.
21. Place the tailgate down into the tailgate guides so that
the holes in the bottom lip of tailgate fi t over the truss
head bolts in the bottom of the cart. This completes the
assembly of your cart.
