DCA-25SSAI — TOWING RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Towing Safety Precautions

CAUTION :

Check with your county or state safety towing regulations department before towing your generator.

To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the generator on public roads, always make sure the trailer (Figure 1) that supports the generator and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units are mechanically sound.

The following list of suggestions should be used when towing your generator:

■

Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR).

■

ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains etc.

■

Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

■

ALWAYS attach trailer’s safety chain to bumper of towing vehicle.

■

ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional, backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected and working properly.

■

The maximum speed for highway towing is 45 MPH unless posted otherwise. Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 10 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.

■

Place rolling, while parked.

■

Place prevent tipping, while parked.

■

Use the trailer’s hand winch to adjust the height of the trailer, then insert locking pin to lock wheel stand in place, while parked.

■

Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, or jack-knifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve gas milage.

■

Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

■

Remove wheel stand when transporting.

■

DO NOT transport generator with fuel in tank.

DCA-25SSAI — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts

Tires and wheels are a very important and critical components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched.

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT install in inner tube to correct a leak through the rim. If the rim is cracked, the air pressure in

the inner tube may cause pieces of the rim to explode (break off) with great force and cause serious eye or bodily injury.

Tire Wear/Inflation

Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life. Pressure should be checked cold before operation. DO NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear. Table 2 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the causes and solutions of tire wear problems.

Suspension

The leaf suspension springs and associated components (Figure 2) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles for signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts (suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components as detailed in Table 3.

CAUTION:

NOTE

ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing or installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Lug Nut Torque Requirements

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper procedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:

1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.

2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence. See Figure 3. DO NOT torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 4.

3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence. Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.
