About the Overload Safety Feature

Your NEUTON Garden Cart has a built-in safety fuse. If your Cart is overloaded or the operating conditions are too severe, the safety fuse automatically trips and stops your Cart. The fuse automatically resets itself after about 5 seconds. Then you can move your Cart again.

Of course, before you use your Cart again, you should change how you are using your Cart. Try reducing the load. Keep under 200 pounds (90 kilograms) on level surfaces; no more than 175 pounds (79 kilograms) on a 10° slope; and no more than 150 pounds (68 kilograms) on a 20° slope.

Don’t drive straight up slopes; move up and down a slope at less of an angle. Keep out of loose or muddy terrain, which can cause the wheels to spin freely or even stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motor; drive on more solid ground.

All these tips help keep the fuse from shutting down.

If the fuse continually trips while you are using your Cart under normal conditions, please contact our Technical Support Department at 1-866-NEUTON1(638-8661).

BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE MOVING UP A STEEP INCLINE OR USING THE CART IN SEVERE CONDITIONS. IF THE SAFETY FUSE DOES TRIP, THE CART’S LOAD MIGHT SUDDENLY SHIFT AND ALLOW THE CART TO ROLL BACK ON YOU, CAUSING SEVERE INJURY.
