2.2.14 Hazards From Modifying Your Trailer
Essential safety items can be damaged by altering your trailer. Even
simply driving a nail or screw to hang something can damage an
electrical circuit, LP gas line or other feature of the trailer.
Before making any alteration to your trailer, contact your dealer or Bri-
Mar Manufacturing LLC at 1-717-263-6116 and describe the alteration
you are contemplating. Alteration of the trailer structure or modification
of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating or other systems on your
trailer must be performed only by qualified technicians who are familiar
with the system as installed on your trailer.

A soft and/or uneven surface may cause the tow vehicle and trailer to tip
over when the dump body is raised.
Raise the dump body ONLY if the tow vehicle and trailer are both on a
