ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE PAYLOAD BEING TRANSPORTED IS
PROPERLY AND SAFELY SECURED ON THE TRAILER. Load the Trailer evenly
from side to side with 60% of the load forward of the Axle (19).
MAKE SURE THE TOWING VEHICLE IS CAPABLE OF TOWING THE TRAILER
AND ITS PAYLOAD. Make sure the hitch on the towing vehicle is capable of tow-
ing the Trailer and its payload and has 1-7/8” hitch ball. Make sure hitch ball is
securely mounted. The towing capacity of the hitch is typically stamped on the
hitch drawbar.
MAKE SURE THE COUPLER (12) AND THE VEHICLE’S BALL HITCH (not in-
cluded) ARE OF EQUAL MATING SIZE (1-7/8”) 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 an important 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 TRAILER ON A FLAT, LEVEL, SOLID
GROUND/PAVED SURFACE AND CHOCK BOTH TIRES TO KEEP THE TRAILER
FROM ACCIDENTLY MOVING.
