SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

1. T o avoid personal injury and/or property damage, do not exceed the T railer’s maximum weight capacity of 1,500 pounds, evenly distributed. Be aware of dynamic loading! Suddenly dropping or moving a load onto the

trailer bed or ramp may create, for a brief instant, an excess load which may result in damage to the product and/or personal injury .

2. Before each use, always examine the Trailer for proper Tire air pressure (80

PSI), damaged tail lights, damaged side running lights, loose bolts and nuts, structural cracks and bends, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. Do not use the Trailer even if minor damage appears.

3. Never allow adults, children, or pets to ride in or play on the T railer.

4. Before each use, alwa ys attach the Saf ety Chain of the Trailer to the towing vehicle. Make sure the Safety Chain is attached to the towing vehicle with the same length for each side. Do not allow the Safety Chain to drag on the ground.

Page 4SKU 93747 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

5. Always check to make sure the payload being transported is properly and safely secured in the T railer. Load the Trailer evenly from side to side with 60% of the load forward of the Axle.

6. Prior to using the Trailer, make sure to read and understand all instructions

and safety precautions as outlined in the owner’s manual for the towing vehicle. Make sure the towing vehicle is capable of towing the Trailer and its

payload. Make sure the hitch on the towing vehicle is capable of towing the Trailer and its payload. The towing capacity of the hitch is typically stamped on the hitch dra wbar.

7. Make sure the Coupler and the vehicle’ s ball hitch (not included) are of

equal mating size (2”) and are rated equal to or greater than the weight of the Trailer and its payload.

8. Do not exceed 55 miles per hour when towing the Trailer. Excess speed is a major cause of vehicle-trailer accidents.

9. The Tail Light Bulbs supplied with this Trailer are f or a 12 v olt DC electrical system only. Do not attempt to power the Light Bulbs with any other type or voltage electrical current.

10. Whenever possible, park the Trailer on a flat, le vel, paved, surface and choc k

Then secure the Axle to the Leaf Springs, using the Flat W ashers (C) and Nylon Nuts (B). (See Figure B.)

4. IMPORTANT: Whenever a Hub (26) on a new Trailer requires assembly (or if a Hub is disassembled for maintenance) the following procedures MUST be followed:

A. Using a suitable solvent, thoroughly clean the Hub Set (26), Outer Bearings

(27), Castle Nut (28), Dust Cap (29), and the rest of the parts of the Hub Assembly of all grease, dirt, metal shavings, and all other foreign objects. These

parts must be cleaned, even if they are new or appear to be clean. (See Figure B.)

B. Allow all parts to dry completely.

C. Make sure your hands are clean and the bearing packer (not included) is

clean. D. Place fresh, clean bearing grease in the bearing packer. E. With the grease-filled bearing packer in one hand and the Outer Bearing (27)

in the other, press the Bearing into the grease, forcing the grease inside the

If the Coupler is not secured properl y , the ball could come loose while the trailer is in motion, possib ly causing property damage, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJUR Y , or DEATH.

1. Only use a 2” Ball Hitch (not included) on the towing vehicle. (See Figure L.)

2. NO TE: To reduce friction between the 2” Ball Hitch and Trailer Coupler (14), apply a layer of heavy grease over the Ball Hitch. (See Figure L.)

3. Temporarily remove the “ R” Pin (Q) and Saf ety Pin (N). Then, pull up on the Trigger and lift up on the Handle. (See Figure L.)

4. With assistance, place the Hitch Coupler (14) over the vehicle’s Hitch Ball and, while holding the trigger, push down on the Handle until the Trigger locks in the slot.

5. Pull up and down on the Coupler to make sure the Hitch Ball is fitting snugly in the Coupler. There should be no pla y between the Hitch Ball and Coupler . If there is pla y, tighten the Adjustment Nut until no play is present. If the Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not lock. (See Figure L.)
