Safety Information

Safety – During Installation

 Read manual. Do not allow anyone to install this trailer hub that has not read this Owner’s Manual.

 Review safety rules. Before towing, review the instructions for safe towing. Failure to follow these

instructions may result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

 Eye protection. Always wear safety glasses or goggles during installation.

 Clean area. Make sure to keep the work area clean. Contaminates or water inside the hub will cause

premature failure and possible wheel separation.

 Lifting and supporting the trailer. Follow the trailer manufactures recommendations when lifting and

supporting the trailer frame. Chock trailer wheels to prevent movement, and lift at the designated jacking

locations.

 Torque values. Always use a torque wrench when installing lug nuts and the spindle nut. Improperly

torqued bolts and nuts may cause broken bolts, bearing failure, loose wheels, and possible wheel

separation.

 Attaching the Wheel. Tighten wheel nuts in stages, start all wheel nuts by hand to prevent cross

threading, then torque each nut to 20-25 ft./lbs, then torque each nut to 50-60 ft./lbs, and lastly, torque to

the final wheel torque value specified by the tire manufacturer.

 Inspection. It is important to clean and inspect the spindle for damage prior to installing this trailer hub. If

the spindle is damaged, replace the spindle before installing this hub.

Safety During Towing

 Read instructions. Review towing safety instructions in your towing vehicle manual.

 Securely attached. Check trailer hitch for signs of wear.

 Tires. Be sure tires are fully inflated and in good repair before towing. When adding air to tires, do not

over-inflate -- serious injury could occur if tire explodes.

 Loading the trailer. Load the trailer so that the tongue weight is approximately 10% of the total load of

the trailer.

 Overloading. Make sure the trailer load does not exceed the load ratings for the trailer components. This

includes tires, axles, hubs, ball coupler, safety chains, and trailer design

 Lug Nuts. Check lug nut torque after 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles, and 250 miles.

 Trailer Lights. Make certain the brake lights, side marker lights are functional prior to towing the trailer.

 On public roads. If towing on a public road, make sure to comply with all local, state, and federal towing

requirements. It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to obtain licensing, trailer lights, safety chains

or signage, as needed to comply.

 Unattended. Turn off the towing vehicle before leaving the trailer unattended.
