Warning
Lugnuts on trailer wheels are prone to loosen. Before each tow, check to make sure they
are tight.
Lug nuts are also prone to loosen after first being assembled. When driving a new trailer
(or after wheels have been remounted), check to make sure they are tight after the first 10,
25 and 50 miles of driving and before each tow thereafter.
Failure to perform this check could lead to a wheel parting from the trailer and result in a
crash, leading to death or serious injury.
