USING AS A PUSH CART

IMPORTANT: Leave the latch lock clevis pin in place at all times while using the cart as a push cart. The clevis pin is shown in fi gure 1 on page 4.

•To convert the cart for push operation, remove the 4" long clevis pin and hairpin cotter which secure the tongue in the towing position. (See drawing on page 8.) Pivot the front tongue into the storage position underneath the rear tongue and secure it using the same clevis pin and hairpin cotter. (See fi gure 5 on page 5.) Place the plastic cap over the exposed end of the tongue.

•For best handling, and to help prevent accidental tipping, distribute the weight of the load evenly in the cart

•Do not load more weight into the push cart than you can handle and control comfortably.

•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.
