Cart With Frame Extensions
A - Mounting Bolts
Check torque of all hardware periodically, giving special attention to the rear axle mounting bolts (A) on all carts. When equipped with dual rear wheels, both the rear axle mounting bolts and frame extension mounting bolts must be checked and tightened. Torque of hitch attaching fasteners found at the rear of a tow-between cart must also be given special attention. This hardware must be kept torqued to the listed specification to prevent machine damage.
