Operating instructions

  read the EntirE iMpOrtant SaFEty inFOrMatiOn section at the beginning of this 

manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this trailer.

Before each use

1.  Check Tire condition and air pressure.

2.  Make sure lug nuts are properly 

tightened.  Torque to 85 - 90 ft-lb.

3.  Make sure hitch, coupler, tow bar, and other 

equipment that connect the trailer and the tow 
vehicle are properly secured and adjusted.

4.  Make sure wiring is properly connected — 

not touching the road, but loose enough to make 
turns without disconnecting or damaging the wires.

5.  Make sure all running lights, brake lights, 

turn signals, and hazard lights are working.

6.  Check that all items are securely 

fastened on and in the Trailer.

7.  Be sure the trailer jack, tongue support, and 

any attached stabilizers (sold separately)
are raised and locked in place.

8.  Check load distribution to make sure 

the tow vehicle and Trailer are properly 
balanced front to back and side to side.

9.  Check side- and rear-view mirrors to 

make sure you have good visibility.

10.  Check routes and restrictions 

on bridges and tunnels.

11.  Make sure you have wheel chocks 

and jack stands (sold separately) for 
changing tires or stabilizing trailer.  

12.  Check Trailer for loose bolts and nuts, 

structural cracks and bends, and any 
other condition that may affect its safe 
operation.  Do not use the Trailer if 
even minor damage appears.
