Introduction 1. Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your trailer. We believe you will be happy and completely satisfied with your purchase. Our goal is to provide a valued customer a quality trailer at a reasonable price. For your safety, read and understand this manual before operating your trailer. If there are any questions about information in this manual, please consult your dealer. When calling about your trailer, please have the VIN number available for the dealer.
Safety 2. Safety NOTICE 2.1 Safety Alert Symbols And Signal Words NOTICE - Indicates a situation that could result in damage to the equipment or other property. An Owner’s Manual that provides general trailer information cannot cover all of the specific details necessary for the proper combination of every trailer, tow vehicle and hitch. You must read, understand and follow the instructions given by the tow vehicle and trailer hitch manufacturers, as well as the instructions in this manual. 2.
Safety 2.2.4 Trailer Not Properly Coupled To Hitch the possibility for loss of control. Also your tires may overheat, increasing the possibility of a blowout. It is critical that the trailer be securely coupled to the hitch, and that the safety chains and emergency breakaway brake lanyard are correctly attached. Uncoupling may result in death or serious injury to you and to others. ^ WARNING Driving too fast for conditions can result in loss of control and cause death or serious injury.
Safety 2.2.7 Matching Trailer And Hitch 2.2.5 Proper Use Of Safety Chains Safety chains are provided so that control of the trailer can be maintained if your trailer comes loose from the hitch. ^ DANGER Be sure hitch and tow vehicle are rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your trailer. ^ WARNING Improper rigging of the safety chains can result in loss of control of the trailer and tow vehicle, leading to death or serious injury, if the trailer uncouples from the tow vehicle.
Safety ^ WARNING ^ WARNING Inflate tires to pressure stated on the Certification / VIN label. Wheel nuts or bolts are prone to loosen after being first assembled. Death or serious injury can result. Improper tire pressure may cause unstable trailer. Blowout and loss of control may occur. Death or serious injury can result. Check wheel nuts or bolts for tightness on a new trailer, and after re-mounting a wheel at 10, 25 and 50 miles. Make sure of proper tire pressure before towing trailer.
Safety 2.2.10 Unsafe Load Distribution ^ WARNING Improper front/rear load distribution can lead to an unstable trailer or poor tow vehicle handling. Poor trailer stability results from tongue weights that are too low, and poor tow vehicle stability results from tongue weights that are too high. Improper tongue weight (load distribution) can result in loss of control of the trailer, leading to death or serious injury. Make certain that tongue weight is within the allowable range.
Safety 2.2.14 Trailer Modifications ^ WARNING Do not transport flammable, explosive, poisonous or other dangerous materials on your trailer. Modification of the trailer structure or alteration of your trailer can make the trailer unsafe and will void all warranty options. Before making any alteration to the trailer, contact your dealer or the manufacturer and describe the alteration you are contemplating. The exception is fuel in the tank of a vehicle or equipment being hauled. 2.2.
Safety Some drivers place their hands at the bottom of the steering wheel, and while the tow vehicle is in reverse, “think” of the hands as being on the top of the wheel. When the hands move to the right (counter-clockwise, as you would do to turn the tow vehicle to the left when moving forward), the rear of the trailer moves to the right. Conversely, rotating the steering wheel clockwise with your hands at the bottom of the wheel will move the rear of the trailer to the left, while backing up.
Safety 2.2.17 Safety Warning Labels On Your Trailer Depending on trailer configuration, your trailer may not be equipped with all safety labels shown.
Safety 14
Safety ^ WARNING To protect you and others against death or serious injury, all applicable labels shown must be on the trailer and must be legible. If any of these labels are missing or cannot be read, contact your dealer for replacement labels.
Safety 2.2.18 Reporting Safety Defects If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Rockford Commercial Warehouse If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
Tire Safety 3. Tire Safety Information 3.1 Trailer Tire Information This portion of the User’s Manual contains tire safety information as required by 49 CFR 575.6. Trailer tires may be worn out even though they still have plenty of tread left. This is because trailer tires have to carry a lot of weight all the time, even when not in use. Section 3.1 contains “Trailer Tire Information”. It is actually better for the tire to be rolling down the road than to be idle.
Tire Safety out and should be replaced, even if they have had minimal or no use. This is such a general statement that it may not apply in all cases. It is best to have your tires inspected by a tire supplier to determine if your tires need to be replaced. occurs. This situation can generate an excessive amount of heat within the tire. Excessive heat may lead to tire failure. It is the air pressure that enables a tire to support the load, so proper inflation is critical.
Tire Safety 3.3 Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit - Tow Vehicle Cold inflation pressure: The pressure in the tire before you drive. Cord: The strands forming the plies in the tire. 1. Locate the statement, “The combined weight of 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs.,” on your vehicle’s placard. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers who will be riding in your vehicle.
Tire Safety sidewall of the tire or the outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle. Occupant distribution: The distribution of occupants in a vehicle as specified in the third column of Table I of 49 CFR 571.110. Light truck (LT) tire: A tire designated by its manufacturer as primarily intended for use on lightweight trucks or multipurpose passenger vehicles. May be used on trailers.
Tire Safety Rim diameter: This means the nominal diameter of the bead seat. axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and normal occupant weight (distributed in accordance with Table I of CRF 49 571.110) and dividing by 2. Rim size designation: This means the rim diameter and width. Weather side: The surface area of the rim not covered by the inflated tire. Rim type designation: This means the industry of manufacturer’s designation for a rim by style or code.
Tire Safety • • Fundamental characteristics of tires Tire safety tips. load limit, that is, the greatest amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry and the vehicle’s tire size. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is referred to as the “recommended cold inflation pressure.” (As you will read below, it is difficult to obtain the recommended tire pressure if your tires are not cold.) Use this information to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine.

These adjustments require special equipment and should be performed by a qualified technician. pressure to each tire that is under inflated. 6. Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air pressure except in cases in which the front and rear tires are supposed to have different amounts of pressure). 3.5.
Tire Safety for improved steering response and better overall handling on dry pavement. R: The “R” stands for radial. Radial ply construction of tires has been the industry standard for the past 20 years. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions. 3.5.10.2 UTQGS Information Next number: This two-digit number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
Tire Safety ST: An “ST” is an indication the tire is for trailer use only. Max. Load Dual kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) Cold: This information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a dual, that is, when four tires are put on each rear axle (a total of six or more tires on the vehicle). Max. Load Single kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) Cold: This information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a single.
Coupling To Tow Vehicle 4. Coupling To Tow Vehicle the lowest of axle, wheel, or tire rating. Sometimes the tire or wheel rating is lower than the axle manufacturers rating, and will then determine GAWR. Follow all of the safety precautions and instructions in this manual to ensure safety of persons, cargo, and satisfactory life of the trailer.
Coupling To Tow Vehicle Hitch: The connecting mechanism including the ball support platform and ball and those components that extend and are attached to the towing vehicle, including bumpers intended to serve as hitches. ^ WARNING An improperly coupled trailer can result in death or serious injury. Do not move the trailer until: Safety chains: Chains permanently attached to the trailer such that if the coupler connection comes loose, the safety chains can keep the trailer attached to the tow vehicle.

Coupling To Tow Vehicle hydraulic actuator will engage or the electric brake pullpin will be pulled out before all of the slack in the safety chains is taken up. Do not connect the lanyard to a safety chain, hitch ball or hitch ball assembly. This would keep the breakaway brake system from operating when it is needed.
Coupling To Tow Vehicle Most trailers are setup to charge the battery from the tow vehicle. If the electrical system on your tow vehicle does not provide power to the battery, you must periodically charge the battery with a commercial battery charger to keep the battery charged. ^ WARNING Failure to replace the pullpin can result in ineffective brakes, leading to loss of control, serious injury or death.
Coupling To Tow Vehicle The board should be 4 feet or longer so it will extend several feet above the actuator. Keep the end of the board a few inches off the ground, and position it to press against the front end of the actuator’s coupler. Press the board towards the rear of the trailer. 1. Park the trailer on a firm level surface and block trailer tires. Disconnect electrical connector. Disconnect breakaway brake switch lanyard. Disconnect safety chains from tow vehicle. Unlock the coupler and open it.
Coupling To Tow Vehicle 4.6 Adjust Hitch Height (If Equipped) The numbers quoted are for example purposes only and should be tailored to the specific trailer. The height of the hitch on the trailer must be adjusted so that the trailer, when loaded to rated capacity, is level while connected to the tow vehicle. A level trailer allows equal weight distribution on the axles. For questions regarding the actual percent of tongue weight for the trailer, check with the manufacturer for specifics.
Coupling To Tow Vehicle ^ WARNING Used lock nuts are prone to loosen, resulting in the hitch separating from the trailer, which can lead to death or serious injury. NEVER re-use a lock nut. Use new lock nuts each time the hitch height is adjusted. Contact your dealer for the proper grade and size of lock nut. 6. Raise or lower the hitch as necessary. 7. Install bolts and new lock nuts. 8. Tighten lock nuts to torque specified by your dealer. 9.
Loading And Unloading 5. LOADING AND UNLOADING ^ WARNING Improper trailer loading causes many accidents and deaths. To safely load a trailer, you must consider: • Overall load weight. • Load weight distribution. • Proper tongue weight. • Securing the load properly. Do not transport people on your trailer. Besides putting their lives at risk, the transport of people on a trailer is illegal. 5.
Loading And Unloading ^ CAUTION ^ WARNING Use a safe lifting procedure to avoid injury when handling ramps. Loading a pivoting-deck trailer before retracting the deck catch pin can crack the catch pin, which can cause loss of cargo or loss of control of the trailer. Death or serious injury may result. 3.
