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. Push the handle
in all the way against the front of the tray by depressing
the detent buttons in the bottom of the handle. Refer to
fi gure 11 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.

One cubic foot of dirt weighs approximately 150 lbs.
CAUTION: VEHICLE BRAKING AND
STABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED WITH
THE ADDITION OF AN ACCESSORY

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.

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.
