CART FEATURES
Built with you in mind.
Our carts come fully assembled
All Overland Carts come fully assembled, charged and ready to
use. All you have to do is power the cart on and drive away. (We do
recommend charging overnight after receiving.)
Crate Disassembly Instructions:
We recommend using a drill or an electric screwdriver with a #2
Phillips bit or a #2 square bit to remove the screws.
We recommend using a hammer or crowbar to remove the
portions that are nailed down.
We designed our carts to be simple to operate:
• To turn on, pull the red On/Off switch out towards you.
• Toggle the black switch for forward and reverse.
• Grasp and twist the throttle.
• To turn the cart off, simply push the red button in.
Safety Features
• Emergency Stop – The red E-Stop button allows the user to
immediately stop the progress of the cart.
• AutoLock – Automatically locks the wheels when the throttle
is not being applied. This feature prevents the cart from
rolling away from the user and also provides easy loading and
unloading on inclines.
• HillSense – Allows the cart to be used safely on inclines and
declines. The cart will travel at the speed set by the user, not
by the incline or decline.
• SmoothStart – On acceleration, power is applied to the drive
tires in a controlled manner ensuring a smooth start each time.
• Four Wheel Design – All Overland Carts have at least four
wheels to provide maximum stability.
They’ve been tested (again and again)
The standard 24 amp-hr rechargeable battery packs have been
extensively tested. We are confident to rate the batteries with a
6-8 hour real world capacity.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Granite Industries is committed to making sure each Overland Cart meets your expectations. To ensure
customer satisfaction, we offer a 15 day money back guarantee. Use the cart and see how much easier the
cart makes your projects. If you’re not satisfied, simply contact Granite Industries at 877-447-2648 for a return
authorization and details.
Orders and quote requests can be emailed to [email protected] or faxed to 419-445-3304

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long do the batteries last on a single charge?
It is completely dependent upon how much weight is being carried, the type of terrain, and the softness or hardness of the
surface. We estimate a range of 6-8 hours of “real world” use. PLEASE NOTE: Most use is not as intense as our “real world”
estimates, so actual use time is typically much longer. Visit YouTube.com/OverlandCarts to view videos of our product testing.
When and how long should I charge my cart?
Charge your cart immediately after using. If, during operation, the battery indicator light goes to red, it is time to recharge. It is
recommended to leave the cart on the charger overnight to extend the life of the batteries.
How long will the batteries last before needing to be replaced?
The batteries are designed to last for 300-500 charge/discharge cycles, which translate into approximately 1-2 years. The
batteries are common, and can be purchased from Granite, your local battery supplier, or on Amazon.
Will tipping the unit hurt the batteries, electronics, or drive system?
No. Batteries, electronics, and drives can operate in any orientation.
What is the maximum speed?
All Overland Carts operate from 0 to 3.5 miles per hour in both forward and reverse.
While pushing my cart in manual/freewheel mode, it suddenly decelerates aggressively. What causes this?
There is a safety feature on your Overland Cart that is designed to prevent the cart from running away when the brake is
manually disengaged.
How much weight can my cart handle?
750 lbs is the maximum load for level ground.
Why does my cart lose traction when one wheel is off the ground?
The drive system is an open differential that allows the machine to efficiently make turns without skidding the tires. The drawback
is that if one of the drive tires leaves the ground, it will simply spin until all tires are back on the ground.
Is a balanced load important to the performance?
Yes. Balancing the load so that it is not top-heavy or side-loaded, will allow much safer operation. Furthermore, most of the load
should be located over top of the drive wheels for better traction.
How do I clean my Overland Cart?
Simply remove all debris, hose it down with soapy water, and towel dry. We do not recommend using a pressure washer.
Can I use my Overland Cart in cold temperatures?
You certainly can, but we recommend that you charge and store the batteries at room temperature.
What maintenance is required?
Not much, really! Simply remember to always recharge when not in use - it’s okay to leave the cart on the charger. The drive
system is sealed for life, thus no lubrication is required. Also, keep the unit dry to enhance its life and appearance.
How should I store my cart?
We recommend keeping your cart indoors, out of the rain and other
elements. For long-term, or “off season” storage, give the battery an
overnight charge, then disconnect the battery pack from the cart and
store it indoors at room temperature. Every 3-4 months, fully charge the
battery even though it’s not in use. This helps to prolong the life of the
batteries.
Where is the serial number?
Every Overland Cart comes with its own serial number. This is located on
the front side of the upper control box. You will need this number when you
fill out your warranty card. SERIAL NUMBERCART INFO

CHARGING INFORMATION
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I identify the right and left tires?
Our ag tires have a specific tread pattern and if you ever need to replace a
tire, you need to identify them as right or left. To do so, stand in front of your
cart, so you are looking at the hopper. The left tire will be on your left side.
CHARGE YOUR CART
When your cart arrives, please plug it in and make sure the
battery is fully charged. There is a battery charge display on
the side of the battery pack.
The charger can be left connected to the batteries after a full
charge (green light) without harming the batteries. It uses a
three stage charging system to optimize battery longevity.
The charger uses minimum power in standby mode and
maintains the batteries at full charge.
For the best battery life, charge the cart after each use or at
the end of the work day. It’s preferable to let the batteries
charge overnight by plugging the cart into a 110V outlet.

BATTERY CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
1. Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on the battery charger, batteries and
the product using the batteries.
2. Only use the type of batteries that the charger is specified
for. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal
injury or damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Do not cover the charger or charge battery in an airtight
enclosure. Ventilation is important to prevent overheating.
5. Make sure extension cord is not used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be
used, make sure:
• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those on the charger.
(3 prong with ground)
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition. A 16 ga cord or heavier duty
extension cord is recommended.
6. Do not operate a charger that has been dropped,
damaged or has a damaged cord or plug - replace
immediately if there are signs of damage!
7. Do not disassemble the charger.

SAFETY INFORMATION
• Flat free semi pneumatic tires are not pressurized and do not have a valve stem.
• Only use chargers and batteries issued by Overland Carts. Use of third party batteries or chargers may cause harm to
the user and the cart.
• Always make sure the attachments are latched securely before operating the cart.
• Always make sure the load is distributed evenly and the cart is stable before operating.
• Push in the red E-Stop whenever the cart is sitting still or whenever the batteries are charging.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of 750 pounds for the cart on flat surfaces.
• Exercise caution when operating on inclines or declines.
• Do not drive the cart over sudden drops such as curbs, steps, or ledges. We recommend using ramps to navigate
uneven surfaces.
• The metal battery pack can be opened to reveal the batteries; however, the physical batteries should never be opened.
They are sealed lead acid batteries and cannot be resealed. Do not attempt to add more battery acid or water. If the
batteries need replaced, please purchase new batteries.
POWER YOUR CART ON
To power your cart on, pull the red E-stop button out. You will notice the battery indicator lights light up, and your cart is
ready for operation.
If the Overland Cart sits inactive for 20 minutes while on, it will go to sleep in order to conserve power. To wake the cart up,
push the E-Stop button in, and pull it back out to power your cart on again.

FORWARD OPERATION REVERSE OPERATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVING YOUR CART
Once your cart is on, make sure your forward/reverse button is toggled upwards for forward. Twist the throttle towards
you and the cart will begin moving forward. While driving your Overland Cart forward, stay directly behind the cart with
both hands on the handles. When operating the cart in reverse, do NOT stand in the path of the cart and walk backwards.
Instead, turn around and stand beside the unit to prevent accidental injury.
SLOPES AND INCLINES
When going downhill, operate your cart in reverse, leading the cart downhill with the handles first. This will prevent your cart
from tipping over, especially if it is carrying a full load. Do not drive your cart across an incline, this may cause the cart to roll
over on it’s side. Always travel parallel with the slope or incline.
FREE WHEEL MODE
The drive system is equipped with a lever that overrides the electromechanical brake for manually operating your Overland
Cart. The brake lever allows you to override the electric brake when you need to push the cart manually, when loss of power
had occurred. With the brake in the disengaged position, the E-Stop button must be pushed in, and the power turned off, or
the drive system will not move freely. The controller will NOT operate the motor when the brake is disengaged.
When lever is in the down position the brake is engaged, and when up it is disengaged. When you reset the brake system the
unit will not operate until you toggle the power button off and back on, this process will need to be repeated every time the
brake in manually disengaged.

BATTERY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
• It is recommended to wear insulated gloves when handling batteries.
• If equipment is to be stored for a long period of time, the batteries should be disconnected to avoid undue drain.
• When replacing your batteries, fasten them tightly, but do not apply undue force to the terminals, or bend them.
• Do not place batteries in close proximity to objects which can produce sparks of flames.
• Avoid exposing batteries to heat.
• Do not mix batteries with different capacities, different ages or different makes.
• For best results and generally acceptable performance and longevity, keep operating temperature range between 5º F
(-15º C) and 122º F (50º C)
• It is good practice to ensure that the connections are re-torqued and the batteries are cleaned periodically.
• Do not attempt to disassemble batteries. Contact with sulfuric acid may cause harm. If it should occur, wash skin and
clothing with liberal amounts of water.
• Batteries should not be stored in a discharged state or at elevated temperatures.
• Please recycle old batteries. Do not throw them away, or attempt to burn them. Attempting to burn batteries (new or
old) may cause them rupture or explode.
BATTERY FEATURES
• Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology for superior performance.
• AGM design ensures the acid inside the battery is spill-proof
• Vibration resistant
• Better performance in cold temperatures
• Faster charging
• Longer expected life
• Valve regulated, spill proof construction allows safe operation in any position. However upside down is not
recommended.
• Maintenance free design. There is no need to add electrolyte, as gases generated during the charge phase are
recombined in a unique oxygen cycle.
• Power/volume ratio yielding unrivaled energy density.
• Special separators, advanced plate composition and a carefully balanced electrolyte system ensure the battery has the
ability to recover from an excessively deep discharge.
• All batteries feature a series of low pressure, one-way relief valves. These valves safety release any excessive
accumulation of gas inside the battery and then reseal themselves.
• Batteries may be discharged over a temperature range of 5º F (-15º C) and 122º F (50º C), and charged at temperatures
ranging from -5º F (-15º C) and 104º F (40º C). For best results we recommend charging the batteries at room
temperature.
• The case materials impart great resistance to shock, vibration, chemicals and heat.
• U.L. recognized under file number MH 14533.
• ISO 9001/14001/18001 Certified
