- Safety Precautions:
- Never carry passengers or allow children to play on the cart.
- Always inspect the cart for good working condition and tighten hardware before operation.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 400 lbs.
- Avoid large holes and ditches; operate at reduced speed in rough terrain, along creeks, ditches, and hillsides.
- Do not operate close to creeks, ditches, or public highways.
- Do not exceed 10 MPH when towing to avoid personal injury or equipment damage.
- Always use caution when loading and unloading.
- Only tow with recommended vehicles (Lawn/Garden Tractors and ATVs).
- Secure and lock the dump cart to the vehicle hitch before operating.
- Keep hands and feet clear from moving parts.
- Wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves, and work boots.
- Do not tow with the box raised.
- Do not overfill; overflow loads can cause loss of traction and control.
- Fill to a comfortable dumping load; extremely heavy loads will be difficult to operate and dump.
- Ensure the tow vehicle and combined operator weight are greater than the cart's load for proper control.
- Do not use on public highways or roads.
- Slow down before turning and avoid sharp turns that could cause tires to rub.
- Use caution when backing; back up in a straight line to avoid "jack-knifing."
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean material out of the cart box and rinse/dry inside and outside.
- Tire Pressure: Before operating, ensure tires have the recommended pressure of 25 PSI.
- Lubrication: Regularly grease the axle and wheel bearing area, or when needed. Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
- Paint: Use glossy enamel spray paint to touch up scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.
- Load Capacity Adherence: Never exceed the 400 lbs (182 kg) load capacity rating to prevent damage.
- Replacement Parts: If a part needs replacement, only use manufacturer-specified parts to avoid safety hazards or poor operation.
- Storage:
- Never allow material to remain in the cart for extended periods.
- Ensure the cart is clean and dry before storing for trouble-free service.
- Store indoors or in a protected area during severe weather and winter months.
- If storing outside, keep the tongue slightly higher than the back of the cart to allow moisture to drain and prevent accumulation in the box.
