Specifications
When your trailer tires become worn or damaged, replace them with
new tires. Your MasterCraft dealer can help you.
For safety and convenience, it is recommended that you inate tires
to the air pressure indicated on the sidewall of the trailer tire and that
you always carry a spare wheel and tire.
Keep your tires properly inated. Failure to maintain the correct
tire pressure may result in tire failure and loss of control, which
may result in serious injury or death and/or property damage.
Brakes
In most states, trailers with
a Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) of 1,500 pounds or
more are required by law to have
brakes on all wheels. (Auto manu-
facturers generally recommend
brakes even with lighter trailers).
Your MasterCraft trailer brakes
are designed to operate auto-
matically when the tow vehicle’s
brakes are applied. These are
known as surge brakes. When the
tow vehicle slows down or stops,
the forward momentum (surge) of
the trailer against the hitch ball
applies pressure to a master cylinder in the trailer coupler. This pres-
sure activates the trailer brakes through a hydraulic system, much like
the brakes on your automobile.
Maintain trailer brakes must be maintained in good working con-
dition at all times. The loss of adequate braking could result in
serious injury or death and/or property damage.
