This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this
manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message
that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury.

Carefully read and follow these safety precautions. Failure to follow these
precautions could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

• Make sure the trailer is properly connected to the tow vehicle before use.

• Do not allow passengers to ride on the trailer.

• The Trail Mule is designed to be pivoted into the tilt positions when
traveling or when not in use. Use caution when raising the trailer into the
tilt positions and make sure the bent pin and hairpin are secure.

• Use caution when removing the bent pin to lower the trailer into the towing
position. The trailer could swing down and cause personal injury.

• This trailer is not intended to be towed faster than 5 mph.

• This trailer has a weight limit of 300 lbs. Do not exceed the weight limit of
the trailer or the receiver hitch tongue capacity of the vehicle you are
towing with.

• Make sure the load is properly balanced and secure before towing.

• Inspect all fasteners for proper tightness before each use.

• Inspect the tire and the trailer for wear before each use. If there is any sign
of damage, repair or replace it before using.

• Make sure the tire is properly inflated. The proper tire pressure can be
found on the sidewall of the tire.

• The wheel and caster bearings are equipped with grease zerk fittings and
should be periodically lubricated using multi-purpose bearing grease.
