19.To mount the tool holder brackets to the front of
the cart it will be necessary to drill four holes in the
front panel of the cart. (Recommended hole size is
9/32" diameter.) The tool bracket holders may be
used to locate hole positions by placing the bracket
against the front panel and marking the hole loca-
tions onto the front panel. The top tool holder
bracket should be positioned equally from each
side of the cart and even with the top edge of the
front panel. The bottom tool holder bracket should
be positioned equally from each side of the cart
with the top of the bracket approximately six inches
up from the bottom. See figure 13.

To dump material from the cart, remove the tailgate by
lifting it straight up and out from between the guides.
Release the spring latch by pulling the latch handle
forward, away from the cart. The cart bed will tilt
backwards to empty its contents. After unloading, pull
the front of the bed down toward the cart tongue until
the latch snaps in place. Replace the tailgate if de-
sired.
To avoid possible injury, be sure that
no one is near the trailer before re-
leasing the latch.
NOTE
For best handling, do not load cart too
heavily behind center of axle.
