GENERAL
INFO & ID
Serial Number Data
The unit serial number on the certification label is
also stamped on a metal plate located on the left side
of frame near the kingpin and on the outside frame
member at the left hand forward corner of the frame.
(See
Figure 1
).
NOTE: The
complete serial number
must be iden-
tified when ordering parts or communicating service
information to Etnyre.
Trailer Capacity Data
Trailers manufactured in the United States list the
maximum “Gross Vehicle Weight Rating” (GVWR) and
the maximum “Gross Axle Weight Rating” (GAWR) on
the certification label.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the sum of the
trailer weight and the trailer capacity. This is the maxi-
mum structural capacity of the trailer.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum load
any axle can carry.
The GVWR may be reached, under certain circum-
stances, before the GAWR or vice versa.
WARNING
Do not exceed the GVWR or GAWR. These
weight limitations are independent of road
weight limitations imposed by law.
Tire and Rim Data
The certification label lists the correct rim size, tire
size and tire inflation pressures for the trailer.
WARNING
Do not use undersize rims or tires. Do not
underinflate or overinflate the tires.
WARNING
The operator must understand the operating
instructions completely before operating the
unit. Personal injury and/or damage to the unit
may occur if the operating instructions are not
followed.
Warning and caution information is given through-
out this manual. Particular care must be given to warn-
ing and caution information contained in Section 3
(Operating Instructions) and where noted with proper
service procedures in other sections.
Note:
Warning and caution decals are affixed to all
units at the factory. These decals contain warning and
caution information which must be followed by all per-
sons operating or servicing an Etnyre trailer. Any warn-
ing or caution decal which is lost, or difficult to read,
must be replaced at once.
Replacement decals may be
obtained from any Etnyre dealer, or the factory.
