cart to be attached to a tow vehicle, and should not
be used unless the tow bar is securely fastened to the

operator’s manual before using the project cart.
• Tow the cart at a low speed when traveling on uneven
grading and unpredictable surface materials.
• Do not tow the cart with the bed in the raised position.

capacity. Heavy loads may cause the tow
vehicle brakes to fail.

not be used on public roads or highways.
