OPERATION
PUSH CART
IMPORTANT:
Leave the latch lock clevis pin in place at all
times while using the cart as a push cart. The clevis pin
is shown in fi gure 1 on page 5.
1. To convert the cart for push operation, remove the 4" long
clevis pin and hair cotter pin which secure the tongue
in the towing position. (See fi gure 10 on page 7.) Pivot
the front tongue into the storage position underneath
the rear tongue and secure it using the 4" long clevis pin
and hair cotter pin. (Refer to fi gure 5 on page 6.) Place
the plastic cap over the exposed end of the tongue.
2. For best handling and to help prevent accidental tipping,
distribute the weight of the load evenly in the cart.
3. Do not load more weight into the push cart than you
can handle and control comfortably.
4. To dump material from the push cart, lift up on the
handle and tilt the cart forward.
Be sure
that the latch
mechanism on the tongue is locked and secured with the
clevis pin to prevent accidental release of the latch.
CAUTION: TO AVOID POSSIBLE
INJURY, BEFORE RELEASING THE
LATCH BE SURE THAT NO ONE IS
NEAR THE CART.
TOW CART
1. To convert the cart for towing, remove the plastic cap
from the tongue. Remove the 4" long clevis pin and
hairpin cotter which secure the front tongue in storage
position underneath the rear tongue. Pivot the front
tongue outward and secure it in the towing position
using the same clevis pin and hairpin cotter. Refer to
fi gure 10 on page 7.
2. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for instructions on
safe operation on slopes.
3. Use the slope guide provided on page 9 of this manual
to determine whether slope angle is too steep for safe
operation.
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.
CAUTION: VEHICLE BRAKING AND
STABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED WITH THE
ADDITION OF AN ACCESSORY OR AN
ATTACHMENT. BE AWARE OF CHANGING
CONDITIONS ON SLOPES.
5. For best handling and traction, distribute the weight of
the load evenly in the cart.
6. To dump material from the cart, remove the 1" long
clevis pin from the latch on the tongue 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 tongue until the latch snaps into place.
Reinstall the clevis pin in the latch to prevent accidental
release of the latch.
7. The maximum towing speed for this cart is 10 m.p.h.
