Reducing Transport Weave (Tow-Behind Cart)

Should tow-behind cart weave from side-to-side during transport, check the following items and correct if necessary.

  • Hitch Brackets: Play between hitch tube bracket and rear bar can cause cart to weave.

If play is found, loosen sides of the hitch bracket to rear bar hardware (A) on both sides of the hitch, push brackets toward the center of the tool to remove play and then tighten hardware. For best tracking, make sure brackets are equal distances from tool centerline.

  • Front Caster Wheels: Reversing front-wheel mounting can cause cart to weave.

IMPORTANT: Traction-type front tires are installed in opposite direction of usual tractor applications.

IMPORTANT: Mounting dish is offset in wheel to align centerline of tire with caster pivot, when casters are in forward travel positions (hubs to the rear). Be sure to select correct wheel assembly for right-hand or left-hand application.

With casters in forward travel positions, check that centerline of tire (A) aligns with caster pivot.

If offset, remove wheel and reverse tire. Install wheel with retaining ring (B) and hardware (C). Torque hardware to specification.
