TOW CART
To convert the cart for towing, remove the plastic cap from the draw bar. Remove the Ø13x98
clevis pin and R Pin which secure draw bar A in the storage position underneath draw bar B. Pivot
draw bar A outward and secure it in the towing position using the same clevis pin and hairpin
cotter. Push the handle in all the way against the front of the tray depressing the buttons in the
bottom of the handle.
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.
Do Not Exceed the 650 LB. (295kg) weight capacity of the cart.
CAUTION
Vehicle braking & stability may be affected by the cart. Be aware of changing conditions on slopes
Distribute the weight of the load evenly in the cart to improve handling and traction.
To dump material from the cart, remove the clevis pin Ø13x28 from the latch on the draw bar
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 draw bar until the latch snaps into place. Reinstall
the clevis pin in the latch to prevent accidental release.
The maximum towing speed for this cart is 10 m.p.h.
