HANDLE TUBE
Used to transport and dump the cart when it is converted into a push cart.
LATCH LOCK
Secures the cart bed to the tongue.

Extends forward or folds under the cart for towing with a tractor or pushing by hand.

3/8" x 4" CLEVIS PIN
Secures the front tongue in either the extended (shown) or folded position.
LATCH LOCK CLEVIS PIN
Prevents the latch lock mechanism from accidentally releasing.
CAUTION: To avoid possible injury,
be sure no one is near the cart before
releasing the latch.
• Use the slope guide provided on page 11 of this
manual to determine whether slope angle is too steep
for safe operation.
• 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.
• For best handling and traction, distribute the weight of
the load evenly in the cart.
• 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.
USING AS A TOW CART
• 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
drawing above.
• The maximum towing speed for this cart is 10 m.p.h.
• Refer to the vehicle owners manual for instructions on
safe operation on slopes.
CAUTION: Vehicle braking and stability
may be affected with the addition of an
accessory or attachment. Be aware of
changing conditions on slopes.
