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

away from the Springs. Center the Axle (10)
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)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This trailer’s Hitch Coupler MUST be properly secured to the hitch ball of the towing ve­hicle. After assembly and attachment, pull up and down on the Hitch Coupler to make sure the hitch ball is fitting snugly in the Hitch Coupler. There must be no play between the hitch ball and Hitch Coupler. If there is play, tighten the Adjustment Nut until no play is present. If the Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not lock. Carefully read and
follow the complete instructions in this manual BEFORE setup or use.
