OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING –Before using the Trailer, review the below instructions & safety information
within the manual. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or injury to
the operator or bystanders.
1. DO NOT at any time carry passengers.
2. DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of 650lb (295kg).
3. ALWAYS secure and lock the Trailer to the vehicle hitch before operating.
4. ONLY use approved vehicles when towing the Trailer (Lawn/Garden Tractors and ATVs)
5. NEVER tow the Trailer with the box raised.
6. DO NOT over fill the Trailer. This could cause the Trailer and towing vehicle to lose traction and
skid out of control.
7. ONLY fill the Trailer to a manageable dumping load. Extremely heavy loads will be difficult to
operate the tipping mechanism.
8. ONLY use the Trailer for its intended purpose.
9. ALWAYS make sure that the combined weight of the tow vehicle and the operator is greater than
the load of the Trailer. If the Trailer is heavier it may be difficult to control.
10. DO NOT use the Trailer on public roads.
11. NEVER exceed 10mph when towing the Trailer.
12. DO NOT make sharp turns as this may cause the Lawn/Garden Tractor or ATV tyres to rub against the
Towed Trailer.
13. ALWAYS slow down before turning.
14. ALWAYS use caution when reversing the Trailer. To avoid the Trailer “jack-knifing” always reverse in
a straight line.
CAUTION –To avoid possible injury, be sure that no bystander is near the cart before
releasing the latch.
TOW CART
 To convert the cart for towing, remove the plastic cap from the draw bar. Remove the Ø13x98 clevis
pin and R Pin which secure draw bar A in the storage position underneath draw bar B. Pivot draw bar
A outward and secure it in the towing position using the same clevis pin and hairpin cotter. Pushthe
handle in all the way against the front of the tray depressing the buttons in the bottom of the handle.
 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 the 650 LB. (295kg) weight capacity of the cart.
CAUTION –Vehicle braking & stability may be affected by the cart. Be aware of changing
conditions on slopes
Distribute the weight of the load evenly in the cart to improve handling and traction.
Todump material from the cart, remove the clevis pin Ø13x28 from the latch on the draw bar and
release the latch. The cart bed will then tilt backwards to empty its contents. After emptying, pull the
front of the bed down toward the cart draw bar until the latch snaps into place. Reinstall the clevis pin
in the latch to prevent accidental release.
The maximum towing speed for this cart is 10 m.p.h.

PUSH CART
Important: Leave the latch lock clevis pin in place at all times while using the cart as a push cart.
To convert the cart for push operation, remove the Ø13x98 long clevis pin and R Pin Ø3 which secure
the draw bar in the towing position. Pivot draw bar A into the storage position underneath draw bar B
and secure it using the Ø13x98 long clevis pin and R Pin Ø3.
Distribute the weight of the load evenly in the cart to improve handling and help prevent accidental
tipping.
Do not load more weight into the push cart than you can physically handle and control comfortably.
To dump material from the push cart, lift up on the handle and tilt the cart backwards. Be sure that the
latch mechanism on the draw bar is locked and secured with the clevis pin to prevent accidental
release of the latch.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
WARNING - Improper maintenance & storage of the Trailer may void your warranty.
MAINTENANCE
After each use clean any material out of the Trailer.
Rinse/dry inside and outside of the Trailer after each use.
Before operating make sure the tyres have the recommended tyre pressure of 20 PSI (Do not exceed
25PSI). We recommend the use of FOOT or HAND inflation devices only.
Grease the axle and the wheel bearing area regularly with Multi-purpose grease.
Periodically check all nuts & bolts for tightness.
Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts including the latch, pivot bolt and the area of the axle
where the draw bar pivots, with Maintenance spray.
Use a glossy enamel spray paint to touch up scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.
Never exceed the load capacity rating of 650lb (295kg) this will damage the Trailer.
IMPORTANT:
Only use the manufacturer’s original replacement parts. Non-original replacement parts will
invalidate your warranty and may result in a safety hazard or poor operation. Parts are available by
calling 01793 333212.
STORAGE
Never allow material to remain in the Trailer for extended periods of time.
For years of trouble free service, make sure the Trailer is clean and dry before storing.
Store indoors or in a protected area during severe weather and winter months.
When storing outside always keep the draw bar a little higher than the back of the Trailer to allow
any moisture to run out of the back and not to accumulate in the carry area.

ASSEMBLY
Remove the hardware pack and all loose parts from the carton. Be sure the carton is empty before
discarding.
Insert the latch lock between the latch mount brackets and connect them using an M6x20 hex bolt
and a M6 lock nut. Tighten so that the latch lock can still pivot. Attach the extension spring to the
latch lock and the latch mount bracket as shown in figure 1.

Draw Bar B
Draw Bar A

Place draw bar A, inside draw bar B as shown below. Fasten the draw bar sections together using an

Plate & Latch Stand Bracket using four M6x16 Flat head bolts and M6 lock nuts. Ensure finger tight
only.

Insert four flat head bolts M6x16 down through the tray and the inner holes in the Latch Stand Plate.
Secure the bolts with four Ø6 big flat washers and M6 lock nuts. Do not fully tighten.
