READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Thank you for purchasing this all purpose dump
cart. When properly assembled and maintained,
this product will provide years of reliable service.
These instructions include helpful hints and important
information needed to safely assemble and properly
maintain the cart. Please read these instructions
before you begin.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not load your cart with more than 440 pounds.
• Do not use the tipping/dumping feature of the all
purpose dump cart with more than a 220 pound
payload.
• This cart is not a toy. Do not allow children to use
the cart. Never allow riders in the cart tub.
• Do not use on inclines; cart may tip or roll away.
• Always distribute payload evenly over the surface
of the tub.
• Inflate the tires to the proper level as indicated on
the tires. Inflate the tires with air only. Never use a
flammable gas to inflate the tires.
• Do not use the cart if any part is broken or
damaged.
• Always replace missing or broken parts
immediately.
• Never stand on or in the cart.
• Do not load any items on the top edges of the
plastic tub.
• Never attach this all purpose dump cart to or pull it
with a lawn tractor or other motorized vehicle. It is
not designed for road use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Periodically check fasteners to make sure they are in
place and tight.
• Clean the cart using water and mild soap. Rinse with
water sprayed from a garden hose. (Tip the tub to
allow the water to drain out after washing.)
• Check the tire pressure and adjust to recommended
pressure if needed. Check load rating.
• Lubricate the steering linkage with a light-weight oil
if needed. Slightly loosen mounting bolts as needed
if steering is too stiff. THE THREADS OF THE
SHOULDER BOLTS MUST REMAIN WITHIN THE
LOCKING COLLAR OF THE LOCKNUTS. DO NOT
LOOSEN THE BOLTS TOO MUCH. DOING SO
WILL CAUSE EXCESS PLAY IN THE FRONT AXLE
JOINTS.
REQUIRED TOOLS
The following list identifies the main tools needed for
assembly. Two (2) people are recommended to assemble
the cart.
• Screwdrivers (straight and Phillips) and pliers
(adjustable or needle nose)
• Metric and standard wrenches and/or a socket and
ratchet set
