3/8" x 4" CLEVIS PIN

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.
