HOW TO CONVERT YOUR
PolyVAC
TO A GARDEN
CART
CAUTION:
The muffler and adjacent areas are extremely
HOT!
1) Remove the cable assembly from the canopy by
releasing the quick link on the cable assembly. (Step 16)
2) Using your foot, release the bed/canopy assembly by
pushing the bed lock bar back toward the engine.
CAUTION:
Due to the use of the gas spring to assist
dumping of the cart and canopy, the cart bed/canopy
assembly may spring forward rapidly. To avoid possible
injury, stay clear of the cart bed/canopy assembly and the
cable assembly that is attached to the canopy. Also, be
sure that no one is near the unit before releasing the bed
lock bar.
3) Detach the front panel of the canopy by unbolting the
bottom flap of the front panel from the bed. (Step 9)
4) Place the cart tires on top of a two-by-four or an equivilant
object to elavate the car bed and tires off the ground. This
will allow the Gas Spring full extension and aid in its removal
WARNING:
The Gas Spring must be removed from the
unit when being used without the polyVAC system. The cart
will not dump properly without the Gas Spring still installed
and may result in damage to the cart and/or possible injury.
