Check wheel bolts upon delivery, and periodically thereafter. Wheel bolts should be tightened to 340
ft./lbs. of torque. This torque is needed for the axle to carry its' rated capacity.
•
Check the tires for proper air pressure. Refer to the manufacturers recommended PSI rating on the tire.
•
Do not operate the wagon near overhead power lines or other obstructions. Electrocution and or
damage to the wagon may occur.

•
KNOW YOUR WEIGHT - Do not pull a machine that has brakes at more than 4.5 times the weight of
the towing vehicle.
•
