OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
1. At the beginning of each season, lubricate, with a light
machine oil, the latch, the latch pivot bolt, and the area
of the axle where the draw bar tongue pivots.
2. Grease or oil the wheel bearings periodically. Use
automotive wheel bearing type grease or 20 weight
oil.
3. Keep tires filled to the recommended tire pressure of
12-14 Lbs.
1. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for instructions on
safe operation on slopes.
2. Use the slope guide provided on page 8 of this manual
to determine if slope angle is not too steep for safe
operation.
3. For best handling and traction, distribute the weight of
the load evenly in the cart.
4. 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.
5. To dump material from the cart, remove the tailgate by
lifting it straight up and out from between the guides.
Release the spring latch on the tongue by pulling the
latch lock lever forward, away from the cart. The cart
bed will then tilt backwards to empty its contents. After
emptying, pull the front of the bed down toward the cart
tongue until the latch snaps into place. Replace the
tailgate if desired.
6. The maximum towing speed for this cart is 10 m.p.h.
DO NOT EXCEED 1200 LB. CAPACITY OF CART
One cubic foot of dirt weighs approximately 80 lbs.
CAUTION: TO AVOID POSSIBLE
INJURY, BEFORE RELEASING THE
LATCH BE SURE THAT NO ONE IS
NEAR THE CART.
CAUTION: VEHICLE BRAKING AND
STABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED WITH THE
ADDITION OF AN ACCESSORY OR AN
ATTACHMENT. BE AWARE OF CHANGING
CONDITIONS ON SLOPES.
NOTE
22. Place the tailgate down into the tailgate guides so that
the holes in the bottom lip of tailgate fit over the slotted
head screws in the bottom of the cart. This completes
the assembly of your cart.
