Determining Weight for Cart
The following maximum loaded cart weight capacities are the average
weight of each cart model loaded with dry sand leveled with the top of the
cart.
Towing cart capacity will vary with weight of towing machine and operator.
Add the weight of your machine to operator weight to find the maximum
capacity of the towing cart.
With all cart usage, the cart load should be reduced when operating on
slopes or slippery surfaces to maintain stability.
To maintain stability using the cart in this example, you cannot safely carry
more than 315 kg (700 lb) without first adding additional ballast to the
towing machine.
Unloading Cart
1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the Safety section.)
2. Move cart lock bar forward to release cart box.
3. Tilt cart box back to unload cart.
4. Push cart down and move cart lock bar toward cart and lock into place.
