against the hitch ball applies
pressure to a master cylin-
der in the trailer coupler. is
pressure activates the trailer
brakes through a hydraulic sys-
tem, much like the brakes on
an automobile.
Try the brakes before each
trip. On a regular basis, have
the brake linings inspected,
necessary adjustments made
and any damaged or worn
parts replaced.
Wet brakes usually do not
hold especially well. If the
wheels have been in water, sev-
eral brake applications at slow
speeds should dry them out.
Trailer Jack
MasterCraft recommends using the trailer
jack to lift the coupling of a loaded trailer
from the hitch ball, and for moving the trailer
about when it is disconnected from the tow-
ing vehicle. Rotate the trailer jack to the verti-
cal position and engage the locking pin before
placing a load on the trailer jack.
Like any mechanical assembly, the trailer
jack requires maintenance to continue func-
tioning properly. e drive gear and the rack-
and-pinion should be greased, and the coaster
and wheel bearings should be oiled frequent-
ly.
Failure to swing up the trailer jack before
towing may result in damage to the trailer.
Failure to engage the locking pin may result in the collapse of the jackstand,
which could cause serious injury or death.
