OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION

CAUTION: Vehicle braking and stability may be affected with the addition of an accessory or an attachment. Be aware of changing conditions on slopes.

1. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on safe operation on slopes.
2. For best handling and traction, distribute the weight of the load evenly in the cart.
3. 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: Do not exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle. Follow any weight limitations listed in the vehicle operator’s manual.
4. 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.
5. The maximum towing speed for this cart is 10 mph.
   CAUTION: To avoid possible injury, before releasing the latch, be sure that no one is near the cart.

MAINTENANCE

1. At the beginning of each season, lubricate the latch, the latch pivot bolt, and the area of the axle where the drawbar tongue pivots with light machine oil.
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 30 psi.

HOW TO LUBRIGATE YOUR WHEELS

To enhance the function and longevity of your wheels, periodically lubricate the bearings.

To lubricate, follow these steps:

1. Take off the wheels.
2. If you have a grease gun at hand, insert the nozzle into the hub and inject 3-4 drops of bearing-type grease lubricant onto the opposite bearing. Make sure the wheel is standing upright and the nozzle reaches deep enough so the drops are squeezed on the orbit of the opposite bearing.
3. If you have no grease gun at hand, you can also lubricate your wheels with a brush. Dip a brush in bearing-type grease lubricant, and thread the brush into the hub till it reaches the bearing on the opposite end of the hub. Trace the orbit of the bearing to spread lubricant evenly. To ensure the bearing is soaked with enough lubricant, repeat 5-6 times.
4. Follow the same steps to lubricate the bearing on the other end of the hub on the wheel.
5. Reattach the wheels.
