OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING YOUR UTILITY DUMP CART
1. DO NOT exceed rated capacity of 400 lbs. (182 kg).
2. NEVER tow the dump cart with cart bed raised.
3. ALWAYS secure and lock the utility cart to the vehicle hitch before operating.
4. DO NOT overfill the utility dump cart. Overflow loads can cause the cart and the towing vehicle to
lose traction and skid out of control.
5. ONLY fill the dump cart to a comfortable dumping load. Extremely heavy loads will be difficult to
operate and dump.
6. ALWAYS use the dump cart for its intended purpose.
7. ONLY use approved vehicles when towing the dump cart (lawn/garden tractors and ATVs).
8. ALWAYS make sure that the combined weight of the tow vehicle and the operator ARE GREATER
THAN the load of the cart weight for proper control.
9. DO NOT use cart on public highways or roads.
10. NEVER exceed 10 mph when towing the dump cart.
11. DO NOT make sharp turns that may cause the lawn/garden tractor or ATV tires to rub against the
utility dump cart.
12. ALWAYS slow down before turning.
13. ALWAYS use caution when backing the utility cart. To avoid “jack-knifing” the cart, always back up
in a straight line.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
On a regular schedule, check that tires are inflated properly. Pressure should be approximately
25 PSI. NEVER over-inflate tires. ALWAYS check rated pressure on each tire.
Use household grease or oil on axle and wheel bearing area regularly or when needed.
Clean and dry off cart after using in wet conditions and before long storage periods. For long storage
periods, it is recommended to cover, keep inside, or store under a covered area.
After each use, clean material out of the cart bed.
Periodically check fasteners for tightness.
Rinse/dry inside and outside of the dump cart after each use.
Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
Never exceed load capacity rating of 400 lbs. (182 kg). This will damage the utility dump cart.
