Adjusting the Hitch Height
The trailer frame and deck should be level for equipment loading and unloading. If the trailer hitch is too
high or too low when hitched to the towing vehicle, readjust the hitch height.
1. Unhitch trailer. Remove hitch mounting screws.
2. Install hitch in new position.
Adjust hitch height when trailer is empty. Use jack
to aid in hitch adjustment.
Failure to install and tighten all hitch mounting
screws may cause serious equipment damage.
Adjusting the Winch Brake
The winch brake should hold the trailer deck up when the equipment load is not more than 1500 pounds.
If the winch brake does not hold the deck up when the winch handle is released, readjust brake tension.
1. Raise the deck.
2. Remove the winch handle and lock nuts.
