Changing Tires

CHANGING TIRES

1. Start all lug nuts by hand to prevent cross-

threading and to ensure proper nut-to-rim seal.

2. Tighten bolts in the sequence detailed below in 

stages, first tighten to 25 ft./lbs. then 60 ft/lbs. 

and finally 80 ft./lbs.

3. Inflate tires to proper PSI as noted on the 

sidewall of the tire.

Care & Maintenance

It is very important to read and follow these maintenance procedures to help avoid trailer failure. 

Any trailer failure resulting from improper maintenance may void your warranty.

COMPONENT

CARE & MAINTENANCE

AVOID

Wheel Hubs

a) Adjust wheel bearings within the first 100 miles and every 

2,000 miles, or annually thereafter, whichever comes first. 

(Inspect bearings, seals, and races - replace if worn.)  To 

check for wear,  jack up the trailer and pull on each wheel to 

see if there is any in and out play or “slop.”   The Turbo-

Lube oil bath system eliminates the need for greasing or 

packing the bearings.

a) Getting sand in hubs or bearings.

b) Neglecting to check the oil levels in 

the hubs’ transparent caps.

c) Exceeding 40,000 miles without 

changing the oil in the hubs.

Axle

a) Powder Coated - clear road salt off after using trailer to 

prolong life of axle.

Tires

a) Keep tires properly inflated.

b) Inspect periodically. (Replace when necessary)

a) Leaving loaded for long periods 

a) Driving with worn tires.

Aluminum 

Surfaces

a) Rinse periodically with water, particularly if driven on 

“salted” roadways.

b) Remove grease, oil and dirt by scrubbing with soft bristle 

brush and mild detergent. Rinse with clean water.

a) Harsh, abrasive cleaners.

b) Bolting or hard-mounting dissimilar 

metals to aluminum surfaces.

Decking Surface

a) Rinse periodically to remove surface dirt especially when 

driving on “salted” roadways. 

a) Using harsh chemicals or solvents

Electrical System 

Connector

a) Periodically check for build-up of oxidation or corrosion 

and clean when necessary. Use electrical grease in all wire 

and bulb connections to help prevent corrosion.

The aluminum structure of your trailer is lightweight, super strong, and never needs painting. This 

structure contains corrosion-resistant alloys that are specially tempered and heat-treated for added 

strength and durability.
