Overview

This document describes the Blue Hawk Dump Cart, Model #DU0001, an attachment designed for use with lawn tractors or ATVs. The primary function of the dump cart is to transport and dump various materials, with a focus on ease of use and durability.

Function Description:

The Blue Hawk Dump Cart is a utility attachment designed to be towed by a lawn tractor or ATV for transporting materials. Its main feature is a tilting bed that allows for easy dumping of contents. The cart is assembled from several panels, including a bed panel, side panels, a front panel, and a tailgate, forming a robust cargo area. A release pedal mechanism facilitates the tilting action of the bed, enabling quick and efficient unloading. The cart is equipped with two wheels for mobility and a tongue with a hitch bracket for attachment to a towing vehicle. Tailgate guides ensure smooth operation of the tailgate, which can be slid down through channels for loading and unloading. The design emphasizes stability during transport and ease of dumping, making it suitable for a variety of landscaping and hauling tasks around a property.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Item Number: #0806320
  • Model Number: #DU0001
  • Rated Capacity: 400 lbs (182 kg)
  • Estimated Assembly Time: 30 minutes
  • Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Phillips Screwdriver, 10 mm and 14 mm Wrenches
  • Helpful Tools for Assembly (included): Spring Assembly Tool
  • Maximum Towing Speed: 10 mph

Usage Features:

  • Dumping Mechanism: The cart features a release pedal (C) that, when stepped on, unlocks the bed to allow for dumping. An R clip pin (DD) is used to lock the bed in place to prevent accidental dumping and can be removed to enable the dumping function.
  • Tailgate: A sliding tailgate (H) allows for easy loading and unloading of materials. It slides down through tailgate guides (A) for convenient access to the cart bed.
  • Towing Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with lawn tractors or ATVs, the cart attaches via a hitch pin (BB) to hitch brackets (D) and a middle plate (E) on the tongue (L).
  • Stability: The assembly instructions emphasize the importance of assembling the cart on a smooth, level surface to ensure stability, especially when the cart is in an upright position.
  • Safety Guidelines:
    • Do NOT exceed the rated capacity of 400 lbs (182 kg).
    • Do NOT tow with the cart bed raised.
    • Always secure and lock the cart to the vehicle hitch before operating.
    • Do NOT overfill the cart, as this can cause loss of traction and skidding.
    • Do NOT carry passengers in the cart.
    • Do NOT allow children to operate the tractor or cart attachment.
    • Do NOT drive too close to a creek or ditch.
    • Do NOT exceed 10 mph when towing.
    • Always slow down before turning.
    • Use caution when backing up; always back up in a straight line to avoid "jack-knifing."
    • Not for highway use.
    • Not recommended to carry full loads on slopes, which can cause loads to shift and damage the cart.
    • Always begin with the transmission in first (low) and gradually increase speed.
    • Ensure the combined weight of the tow vehicle and operator is greater than the load of the cart for proper control.

Maintenance Features:

  • Tire Pressure: Regularly check tire inflation; recommended pressure is approximately 25 PSI. Never over-inflate.
  • Lubrication: Use household grease or oil on the axle and wheel bearing area regularly or as needed.
  • Cleaning: Clean and dry the cart after using it in wet conditions and before long storage periods. Clean material out of the cart bed after each use. Rinse/dry inside and outside of the dump cart after each use.
  • Storage: For long storage periods, it is recommended to cover, keep inside, or store under a covered area.
  • Fastener Tightness: Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
  • Annual Maintenance: Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
  • Load Capacity: Never exceed the 400 lbs (182 kg) load capacity rating, as this will damage the utility dump cart.

Warranty Information:

  • Limited 1-year warranty on the dump cart.
  • Limited 2-year warranty on all parts.
  • Conditions: Applies only to products assembled correctly and operated according to the manual. Excludes commercial use, alteration, misuse, abuse, shipping damage, normal wear and tear, normal adjustments, and normal maintenance.
