•Secure with 2x Φ14 washer & 2x M14 nut and tighten fully through the nylock material of the Nut.
•Place large Φ16 washer over the single fixing thread of the bed.
•Place the front U-frame to the underside of the bed and slot over the single fixing thread.
•Secure with Φ14 metal washer & M14 nut and tighten fully through the nylock material of the Nut.

•Secure the 4x levers to the front and rear panels with the washer and nut. Do not tighten.
•Attach the two sides, front & rear panels to the bed, using R-clips (two for each panel).
•Lift one side panel and the front panel and secure using the lever. Continue to do this with the remaining
panels and levers.
•Now tighten the nuts on each lever to ensure secure, but do not overtighten, as this can hamper easy
release of panels going forward.
OPERATION
WARNING
Before using the trolley, review the instructions below and safety information. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or bystanders.
CONVERTING TO A TOW HITCH
Your large garden trolley can be converted to a towed trolley. Built within the handle assembly is a hitch pitch
fitment for compatible ride on machinery.
•Remove the R-clip and hitch pin from the handle assembly.
•Remove handle from draw bar.
•Slide draw bar over the towing eye of your ride on machine.
•Drop the hitch pin through the holes of the drawbar and
towing eye.
•Secure with the R-clip through the hole of the hitch pin.
USING YOUR TROLLEY
1. DO NOT exceed rated load capacity of 350kg (770lb).
2. ALWAYS secure and lock the trolley to the ride on machinery
hitch before operating.
3. ONLY use approved vehicles when towing the trolley
(Lawn/Garden Tractors and ATVs).
4. DO NOT over fill the trolley. Overflow loads can cause the
trolley and towing vehicle if used to lose traction and skid out of
control. Ensure any load is evenly distributed over both axles and each of the four wheels.
5. ALWAYS use the trolley for its intended purpose.
6. ALWAYS make sure that the tow vehicle and the combined weight of the operator MUST BE greater than the
load of the trolley weight for correct control.
7. DO NOT use the trolley on public highways or roads. Use of this nature can cause premature wear of the
tyres, not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
8. NEVER exceed 10mph when towing the trolley.
9. DO NOT make sharp turns that may cause the Lawn/Garden Tractor or ATV tyres to rub against the trolley.
10. ALWAYS slow down before turning.
11. ALWAYS use caution when backing the trolley. To avoid “jack-knifing” always back up in a straight line.
12. ENSURE to safety instructions within this manual are ALWAYS adhered too.
