Crushing / Loss of Control Hazards:
Do not move the cart by hand. Even when empty, the cart is too
heavy for safe hand movement. Wheel castering can also cause
sudden changes in tongue weight. Attempting hand moves
could result in serious injury or equipment damage. Use a
powered hoist or lift if the cart must be moved for alignment
with towing implement.
Open Implement Hitches
At the implement, if the hitches are closed, latch them
both open.
Refer to Figure 5

Roll-Away Hazard:
Prior to hitching cart, ensure implement cannot move. If
implement is hitched to a tractor, set tractor brakes or put trac-
tor in Park. Block tires if no tractor is hitched. Once weight is
off the cart parking stand, the cart can roll freely. If the ground
is unlevel, the cart could cause the implement to move. The
parking stand of an unhitched implement may not prevent roll-
away. A roll-away accident could result in equipment damage,
serious injury or death.
