Protecting Yourself and Those Around You

You must operate the Trailer safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area. Always take the following precautions when using this trailer:

x Never exceed the rated towing capacity of the Tow Vehicle. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents

or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and themselves.

x We recommend wearing gloves and protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while assembling or using the DR

VERSA TRAILER and the supplied Winch.

x Wear shoes with non-slip treads when assembling or operating your Trailer. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing

them. Do not assemble or use the Trailer while barefoot or wearing open footwear.

x Wear long pants while assembling or operating the DR VERSA TRAILER and a long sleeved shirt to protect from accidental

scrapes, cuts, or abrasions that may result.

x Do not transport people on or inside the Trailer. The transport of people puts their lives at risk and may be illegal, as the Trailer

has not been designed to carry passengers.

x Do not transport flammable, explosive, poisonous, or other dangerous materials in your Trailer.

Safety for Children and Pets

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the Trailer and the hauling activity. Never

assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these precautions:

x Keep children and pets at least 30 feet away from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible

adult.

x Be alert and stop what you are doing if children or pets enter the work area. x Never allow children to operate the tow vehicle or the DR VERSA TRAILER. x Use care when backing up to make sure the area is clear of children, pets, and other objects that could result in damage or injury.

General Safety

Operating this DR VERSA TRAILER safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of death or serious injury. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this Trailer:

x Your DR VERSA TRAILER is not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. The Trailer is designed for hauling material.

Do not use it for any other purpose.

x Know how to operate and stop the Tow Vehicle quickly; refer to the Tow Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual. x Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the DR VERSA TRAILER.

Modifications to your Trailer could cause personal injuries and property damage and will void your warranty.

x Before performing any maintenance or inspection procedure on the DR VERSA TRAILER, park first on flat, level ground. Place

Vehicles with Automatic Transmission in Park. For Vehicles with Manual Transmission, place Vehicle in the configuration recommended by the Vehicle's Owner’s Manual. Set the Tow Vehicle's Parking Brake (if equipped), shut the Engine OFF, and remove the Key. Chock the wheels of the Tow Vehicle to ensure that the Vehicle cannot move. Ensure that the Bed of the Trailer is completely lowered and is resting on the Frame of the Trailer.

x Never allow people who do not understand and/or have not read this Safety and Operating Instructions Manual to use the DR

VERSA TRAILER. Allow only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation and the safe operation of your Tow Vehicle to use your Trailer.

x Never overload the Trailer. Personal injury or damage to the Trailer could result. x While using the DR VERSA TRAILER, don't hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt, stop the Tow Vehicle and take the

time to look things over.

x Never operate the Trailer when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication, or if mentally or physically impaired. x Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. x Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the Trailer in good operating condition as outlined in Chapter 4: Maintaining the DR

VERSA TRAILER.

4 DR®VERSA TRAILER

Safely Towing your DR VERSA TRAILER

BEFORE towing your DR VERSA TRAILER, read the following:

x Driving a vehicle with a Trailer in tow is vastly different from driving the same vehicle without a trailer in tow. When towing a

Trailer, you need more room to turn and more distance to stop. You will need to spend time adjusting to the different feel and maneuverability of the Tow Vehicle with a loaded Trailer.

x Never exceed the maximum tow rating for the Vehicle being used. x An improperly coupled Trailer may result in death or serious injury. Before coupling the DR VERSA TRAILER to your Tow

Vehicle, be sure the size of the Ball is 2". Make sure that the Hitch Ball is not worn or cracked and is tight on the Tow Vehicle’s Hitch. Also check the Coupler for cracks and deformations and make sure that the Coupler is securely fastened to the Trailer Tongue with the Safety Snap Pin installed. Lubricate the Hitch Ball and the inside of the Coupler with a thin layer of grease. Make sure the Tow Hitch is adjusted properly to the Ball Hitch.

x Assure that the Trailer Wheel Lug Nuts are tight before towing as outlined in Chapter 4: Maintaining the DR VERSA TRAILER. x Improper Tire pressure can result in a blowout and loss of control, which can lead to death or serious injury. Be sure the

Tires are properly inflated to the pressure indicated on the sidewall of the Tire(s) before towing the Trailer.

x Make sure the Trailer’s Jack and Crane Supports are fully retracted and the Crane is securely locked before towing. x Use caution when towing the Trailer over rough terrain and hillsides to prevent loss of control and rolling over. Never operate

near, or on slopes of 20 degrees or greater.

x Slow down for bumps and release the Tow Vehicle’s accelerator when crossing the bump to avoid unintended acceleration. x Do not brake while in a curve unless absolutely necessary. Instead, slow down before you enter the curve and power through

the curve. This way, the Towing Vehicle remains in charge.

x Do not apply the brakes to correct extreme Trailer swaying. Continuing to pull the Trailer, with slight acceleration will provide

a stabilizing force.

x Be careful when towing the Trailer in icy, wet, or snowy conditions, which could impair the braking ability and the stability of

the Tow Vehicle.

x Driving too fast for conditions can result in loss of control and may cause death or serious injury. Decrease your speed as

ground, weather, and lighting conditions deteriorate.

x Never exceed 25 mph. x Use lower gears when climbing and descending grades. x Your Tow Vehicle’s braking and stability may be affected when towing the DR VERSA TRAILER. x Do not ride the brakes while descending grades, as they may get so hot that they stop working. This may lead to a runaway

Tow Vehicle and Trailer.

x Using the Trailer with a heavy load may exceed and inhibit the towing capacity of the Tow Vehicle. Do not exceed the

maximum towing capacity of your Tow Vehicle. Check the Tow Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on tow capacity limitations.

x Make sure the DR VERSA TRAILER is not overloaded and that the load is properly distributed front to back and side to side

and properly secured. The Trailer’s maximum towing capacity is 2000 pounds.

x Before operating the Tow Vehicle and DR VERSA TRAILER on any sloped surface or hill, refer to the Safety Rules in the Tow

Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on proper operation on slopes. Do not use on or near slopes over 20 degrees.

x Do not tow the Trailer on highways or on public thoroughfares. The DR VERSA TRAILER is designed for off road use only.

A Note to All Users

No list of warnings and cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur that are not covered by this manual, the operator must apply common sense and operate this DR VERSA TRAILER in a safe manner. Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call Toll Free: 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.

Installing the Wheels and Tow Bar to the Main Frame

Tools Needed:

x Two Adjustable Wrenches capable of tightening a 30mm or 1-1/2" Bolt Head. x 13mm Wrench required (12, 18, & 30mm Wrenches optional if two Adjustable

Wrenches are available)

x Needle Nose Pliers x 21mm Socket required (12, 18, & 30mm Sockets optional if Adjustable Wrenches

available)

x Tape Measure x 5" Socket Extension

1. Measure the Axles to determine the correct orientation for installation on the Trailer. The longer portion of the Axle (Figure 5) should face the Front of the Trailer.

: The Front of the Trailer has the two rectangular Bosses welded to the side of the

Trailer.

2. Turn the Main Frame upside down. Install the Axles to the Main Frame by inserting the Axle Pivot Pins, with the Tab facing downwards, from the outside of the Main Frame through the Axles. Align the Hole through the Tab on the Pin with the Hole in the Main Frame and repeat for opposite side (Figure 6).

Bosses

Figure 6

Take care not to Pinch hands or Fingers when installing the Axles and Axle Pivot Pins.

NOTE: It is easier to install the Axle Pivot Pins by first placing the Axle(s) between the mounting plates, then picking up one end of the Axle, while allowing the other to rest on the ground. This will take some of the weight off and allow you to align the holes much easier so you may insert the Axle Pivot Pin(s).

x Never allow children or pets to play around you, the Bed, Shipping Crate, or

Trailer when you are performing these steps.

1. Remove the Bed from the steel-shipping Crate with the assistance of at least one other person by lifting the Bed straight up, and out of the Crate by the Tailgates. Make sure all four Latches on the Tailgates are properly latched (Figure 44) before lifting the Bed out of the Crate and placing it on the ground.

2. To remove the Blue Plastic Protective Film from the Inside and Outside of the Bed, use your Fingernail, or the point of a Utility Knife to peel up one end of the plastic at the edges of the Bed and begin to peel off the Film.

3. With the assistance of at least

one other person, turn the Bed over onto its top, to remove the Blue Plastic Film from the exterior and underside of the Bed. Use the Utility Knife to cut around the Black Frame of the Trailer for the individual panels (Figure 45). Once you have cut around the individual panels, use the point of the Knife to begin peeling at the edge.

4. With the assistance of at least

one other person, turn the Bed back over and place the Bed on the Trailer in the orientation shown in Figure 46, with the U-Bolt at the front of the Trailer and the Dumping Pivots on the Bed placed between the Pivot Supports on the Rear Bed Support.

NOTE:

It is recommended to lift the Bed from the Sides to walk the Bed onto the

Trailer. It is easier to install the Bed without the Log Cradles and Extensions inserted into the Frame. These are also unnecessary when the Bed is installed.

5. Align the Holes though the Dumping Pivots on the Bed with the ones on the Rear Bed Support and install the two Pivot Pins and Hitch Clips (Figure 47 on page 21).

6. Attach the Hook from the Winch to the U-Bolt in the Bed (Figure 48 on page

21).

Chapter 3: Operating The DR VERSA TRAILER

This chapter covers the basic operation procedures for your new DR VERSA TRAILER. It may be helpful to better familiarize yourself with the features of your Trailer by reviewing Figure 1 in Chapter 2 before beginning the steps outlined in this chapter.

Read and understand the warnings listed in “Chapter 1 General Safety Rules” before operating the DR VERSA TRAILER.

Before You Begin

x Visually check the Winch Cable for any frays or other damage each time you use the Trailer. x Inspect the Winch for smooth operation, no binding, pinching or crimping of the Cable. x Assure that the Tires are properly inflated. x Assure that the Wheel Lug nuts are properly torqued. x Assure that the Trailer is securely fastened and properly adjusted to your Tow Vehicle using a 2" Ball and properly latching and

locking the Tow Hitch with the Safety Snap Pin.

x Assure that all hardware is tight. x Inspect the Crane and Boom for any damage or bending.

Loading the Trailer

x Never load, or unload the Trailer if it is not securely attached to a suitable Tow Vehicle. x Never load, or unload the Trailer if it is on, or near a slope as the Trailer may tip, or drag the Tow Vehicle down the slope. x Always securely set the Parking Brake and ensure the Tow Vehicle is in Park before dismounting to load, or unload the Trailer. x When loading the Trailer it is best to evenly distribute the weight front to rear to provide the proper Tongue Weight. If too much

weight is concentrated to the Rear of the Trailer you will cause a negative Tongue Weight, which could lift the rear of the Tow Vehicle, which could cause you to lose control during Towing. Adversely, too much weight at the front of the Trailer can cause too great of a Tongue weight on the Trailer and Lift the front of the Tow Vehicle off the ground, diminishing your ability to effectively turn and stop.

x Load the Weight evenly side to side to avoid overloading the Tires. x Always keep the Center of Gravity low to improve the stability of the Trailer. x Always secure any load placed in, or on the Trailer to limit shifting of the cargo as this can cause loss of control of the Trailer

and Tow Vehicle. Always use properly sized Straps, Ropes, etc.

x Always follow the Towing instructions and ratings found in your Tow Vehicle’s Manual. Familiarize yourself with the Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your Tow Vehicle, which is the total weight of the load you put in, or on the Trailer, plus the empty weight of the Trailer itself and never exceed this rating.

x Never use the Trailer to transport People, Containers of Hazardous, Flammable, or Explosive Substances. x If you are using the Dump Bed with the Tailgates installed, always make sure the Latches are properly adjusted and locked.

Before loading the Trailer, extend the Outriggers no more than 15" outwards from the end of the Operator Guard (Figure 49) and lower the Adjustable Stabilizer Legs to the ground and tighten the Locking Handles. Once you have finished loading the Trailer, raise the Adjustable Stabilizer Legs and retract the Outriggers for travel.

15" 15" Figure 49

22 DR®VERSA TRAILER

NOTE: If you are loading material into the Bed that you wish to dump, make sure the Winch Hook is properly secured to the U-Bolt inside the Bed (Figure 48, on page

21).

Using the Dump Bed

x Never stand in, or under the Bed when dumping material from the Bed. x Never place anything under the raised bed and always ensure that no other adults, children, or pets are near, or around the Bed

when lowering it back into place.

x Never load more than 650 lbs of material into the Bed if you are intending to dump it.

1. The Dump Bed may be used to haul and dump a number of things from dirt, rocks, stones and logs, to name a few. To dump material from the Bed of the Trailer, remove the Rear Tailgate.

NOTE: To remove the Tailgate(s) release the Latches on the Tailgate by pulling the Red Handles of the Latches away from the Tailgate.

Pivot the Tailgate down and then push the Tailgate to the Left to uncouple the Hinge (Figure 50).

2. Once the Tailgate has been removed, use the Winch to raise the Bed to dump the material out.

NOTE: The Chains for the Boom need to be adjusted to the ideal length for the Dumping of the Bed. Adjust the length of the Chains so

the 10th link of the Chain (from the end of the Chain) is captured and securely pinned in place, with the supplied Hitch Clips, on the Boom Pivot. It is recommended to have the assistance of one other person to support the weight of the Crane while you adjust the length of the Chains individually. Remove one Hitch Clip, adjust the Chain, then re-seat the Chain in the Retainer on the Boom Pivot and re-insert the Hitch Clip (Figure 51). Repeat for the other Chain to have the Boom centered on the Trailer and ready for dumping.

Figure 51

Using the Winch and Boom to Load Logs onto the Trailer

x Always stand on the Crank Handle side of the Winch (Figure 51), never directly in line with the Winch Cable, and always behind

the Operator Guard! If the Winch Cable is kinked, frayed, or otherwise damaged, do not use it. Replace the Cable immediately.

x Always make sure there are more than 6 complete wraps of the Cable around the Drum of the Winch. Never extend the Cable o

the Winch past this point, as it will compromise the strength of the Winch and Cable.

x Never lift more than 440 lbs with the Winch. x When using the Winch to load a Log or other item on to the Trailer, or into the Bed, never lift it higher than the Frame, or the

Bed of the Trailer (if installed). Keep the weight as low as possible.

x When lifting an item on to the Trailer, or into the Bed (if installed), never stand under or near the item being lifted. Always

make sure that any bystanders, children, or pets are at least 30 feet away and are behind the Operator Zone.

1. Remove the Bed of the Trailer by removing the Pivot Pins and Hitch Clips that attach the Bed to the Trailer. Slide the Bed to

the rear of the Trailer and either stand it up on end, on level ground, or lay it down.

Never allow other adults, children, or pets to play around a Bed that is stood up on end as they could contact it and knock it over. If you are intending to store the Bed stood on end, secure it with adequate ropes or straps to ensure it cannot easily topple.

Maximum Boom Travel

Operator Zone

2. Use the Winch to unload the Logs by rotating the Boom to either side of the Dump Bed by using the Boom Swivel (Figure 1 on page 6). To rotate the Boom, push the Pivot Lock Handle inwards until it pivots out to clear the Boom Pivot. Rotate the Crane in the desired direction and release the Pivot Lock Handle so it seats itself back into one of the Locking Detents on the Boom Pivot. Refer to Figure 52 for the maximum Boom travel and Operator position.

3. Extend the Outriggers and Stabilizer Legs as described in Loading the Trailer on page 22 and use the Winch with a Choker Chain (sold separately) to drag, or lift Logs on to the Trailer. Be sure to securely attach the Choker Chain to the Log by wrapping the Chain tightly around the Log once, then through the Ring on the Choke Chain. Connect the Winch Hook to a Chain Link on the Choker Chain that is at least 2 Links through the Ring of the Choker Chain. The Choker Chain should tighten itself around the Log as you begin to slowly pull the Log toward the Trailer with the Winch.

Using the Log Cradles and Extensions

1. Remove the Dump Bed by performing steps 4 & 5 on page 20 in the reverse order.

24 DR®VERSA TRAILER

Figure 52

Figure 53

2. Slide the four Log Cradles into the Slots in the Main Frame (Figure 43 on page 19). Depending on the height of the Logs in the Trailer, you

may want to use the Log Cradle Extensions by sliding them into the Log Cradles (Figure 43 on page 19).

Adjusting the Tailgate Latches

Overtime you may need to adjust your Tailgate Latches. To do so, open the Latch (Figure 53) and thread the Latching Arm inwards, or outwards to adjust the length of the Latching Arm (Figure 54).

Greasing the Tow Ball, Tow Hitch, and Grease Fittings

Figure 55

Grease Fitting

Your DR VERSA TRAILER'S Wheel Bearings were greased at the Factory. Prior to using your Trailer for the first time, you need to lubricate the Axle Pivot Pins,

Swivel of the Tow Hitch, the Tow Hitch Coupler, and the 2" Ball you will be using. You should also periodically lubricate the Axle Pivot Pins, Tow Hitch Swivel, Tow Hitch Coupler, and 2" Ball to reduce wear and rust on these components.

Tools and Supplies Needed:

x Flexible hose grease gun x Lithium grease x Clean cloth

1. Wipe all dirt, etc., from the Grease Fitting(s) with a clean cloth.

2. Apply enough quality general-purpose lithium grease with a hand-pumped grease gun to each Axle Pivot Pin and Tow Hitch Swivel Zerk Fitting, so a small amount of Grease comes out of the Fitting(s) (Figures 55

3. Apply the grease to your 2" Tow Ball to reduce friction on the Tow Hitch

Coupler and to help prevent rusting and seizing of the ball to the Coupler.

56)

Figure 56

Grease

4. Apply the grease to the Pivot Pins of the Latch on the Coupler and to the

underside of the Coupler (Figure 57).

TIP: The Tow Hitch is designed to rotate 360° to ease greasing of the underside

of the coupler.

Wheel and Lug Nuts

x Lug Nuts and Wheel Studs are prone to damage if loose. Lug Nuts are prone to loosening after installation. The deformation

of the Wheel Rim where the Lug Nut seats will cause the Nut(s) to loosen and could result in a Wheel coming off of the Trailer. Check the Lug Nuts individually for tightness before each use, or after a Wheel has been replaced on the Trailer.

x Inspect the Lug Nuts to ensure all are present and tight before operation. Never operate the Trailer if a Lug Nut is missing, or

is not properly torqued.

x Always torque the Lug Nuts to 85-90 ft-lbs in an alternating pattern. x Inspect the Wheel Studs for damage. Never operate the Trailer with a damaged or missing Wheel Stud. x To check the Wheel Bearings of your Trailer, jack the Trailer off of the ground and check the Wheels for side-to-side looseness.

If the Wheels are loose, or Spin with a Wobble, the Bearings must be replaced.

x Before operating the Trailer always check the Tire Pressures of the Trailers Tires with no load in the Bed, or on the Trailer. They

should be adjusted to 25-28 PSI and never in excess of 36 PSI.

x Inspect the Wheels for damage, or bending. Never operate the Trailer if a Wheel is damaged; replace the Wheel immediately. x Inspect the Tires for damage or cuts. Even if the Tire is not leaking air, damage, or cuts could lead to a blow out when the

Trailer is loaded. Never operate the Trailer if a Tire is damaged; replace the Tire immediately.

x Inspect all Valve Stems of the Tires. If the Valve Stems are damaged, do not use the Trailer; have the Valve Stem(s) replaced, or

replace the Wheel(s) and Tire(s).

x Clear all debris from the area of the Valve Stem(s) before operation to avoid damaging the Stem(s).
