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 figure 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 posi_tion.(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
figure 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 weightinto 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 accidenta'
release of the latch.
