SPECIFIC OPERATION WARNINGS
•
Before each use, always examine the trailer for proper tire condition and air pressure, damaged
Tail Lights, damaged Side Running Lights, loose bolts and nuts, structural cracks, bends and
any other condition that may affect its safe operation. Do not use the Trailer even if minor
damage appears.
•
Before each use, always attach the Safety Chains of the trailer to the towing vehicle. Make sure
the Safety Chains are attached to the towing vehicle with the equal length at each side. Do
not allow the Safety Chains to drag on the ground.
• Always check to make sure the payload being transported properly and safely secured in the
trailer. Load the Trailer evenly from side to side with 60% of the load forward of the Axle.
• Make sure the towing vehicle is capable of towing this 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 drawbar.
• Make sure the hitch coupler and the vehicle’s Ball Hitch (not included) are of equal mating
size (1-7/8in.) and are rated equal to or greater than the weight of the trailer and its payload.
• Do not exceed 45 miles per hour when towing the trailer. Excess speed is a major cause of
vehicle-trailer accidents.
• The Tail Light Bulbs supplied with this trailer are for a 12 Volt DC electrical system only. Do
not attempt to power the Light Bulbs with any other type or voltage electrical current.
• Whenever possible, park the trailers on a flat, level, paved surface and chock both tires to
keep the trailer from accidently moving.
• Before attempting to fold up the trailer, make sure it is on a flat, level, solid surface and chock
both tires.
• Never attempt to fold up the trailer without assistance.
• DO NOT exceed the 870 pound weight capacity.
• DO NOT allow anyone to ride in the towed vehicle or on the trailer.
• The coupler must be properly secured to the hitch ball. After assembly and attachment, pull
up and down on the hitch coupler to make sure the hitch ball is snug in the hitch coupler. If
the coupler is not secured properly, it could come loose while the trailer is in motion, causing
property damage, serious personal injury or even death.
• Make wide turns when towing a loaded trailer, avoiding both sharp turns and U-turns. Turning
too sharply can cause damage to the trailer and/or the tow vehicle.
