This manual has been prepared to help you operate your new Timpte trailer successfully, economi-
cally, and safely. Please read your Operator’s Manual carefully and have a full understanding prior
to using your trailer or performing any maintenance. We urge you to contact your Timpte Trailer
Company factory representative or the Vice President of Engineering at Timpte (402-367-3056)
immediately should you have any questions or need an explanation.
Timpte has provided several warnings in your Operator’s Manual and on your trailer to help pre-
vent personal injury. Timpte can not foresee all use or misuse of the trailer. Always use common
sense judgment while using or performing maintenance to your trailer. Your safety is our primary
concern.
This safety alert symbol is used throughout this manual to indicate potential personal
safety hazards. Failure to heed the warnings associated with the safety alert symbol can
result in property damage, serious injury or death.
Safety decals appear at various locations on your new Bulk Commodity trailer. The decals are
provided for
your safety and should be kept clean. Replace any decal that has become worn or
damaged, painted over, or otherwise difficult to read. Replacement decals are available at no
cost through Timpte by calling 402-367-3056.
Information contained in this Operator’s Manual is based on the latest information available at the
time of publication. Changes are continually being made to improve our product lines.
In addition to this Operator’s Manual, there is a set of informational manuals supplied with your
trailer from the manufacturers of the various components used to build this trailer including but not
limited to;
• the suspension
• the anti-lock brake system
• the axles, brakes, wheel ends

Please read these manuals carefully as they contain detailed information on these different trailer

We want to thank you for purchasing a Timpte trailer and to let you know that it was designed to
meet your specific needs for a Bulk Commodity trailer and was built for long life and low cost of
operation. However, regular and proper maintenance of the trailer and your common sense use of
it are required to extend the life of the trailer.
