1. Spring weighting sale
2. Coupler
If necessary, redistribute the weight in
the trailer to meet the maximum allow-
able tongue weight.
Inappropriate Cargo
WARNING
Never carry passengers in the back
of any trailer. Passengers in the
trailer risk injury due to shifting
cargo, asphyxiation and lack of
collision protection.
NOTICE
Avoid transporting heavy
parts with sharp edges that could
damage the trailer.
Do not transport flammable, explosive,
poisonous or other dangerous materi-
als in the trailer. An empty or partially
full container is just as dangerous as a
full one. Flammables may explode or
ignite because of vehicle movement,
road vibrations or cargo shifting.
Never load cargo on the outside of the
trailer. These items may be ejected
and cause a roadway hazard.
Do not load with cargo that prevents
closure of the trailer cover.

3. Lower trailer and using the same
measurement points, measure the

crease or decrease spring preload to be
within this recommended range. See
