Using your FLOE trailer
Hitch Coupler Adjustment
All FLOE models have a lever lock hitch coupler. On the lever lock coupler, the amount of locking force
can be adjusted to the diameter of the hitch ball. To change the amount of locking force against the hitch
ball:
1. Release the hitch coupler locking lever (to its straight up position).
2. Locate the adjustment nut on the bottom of the hitch coupler.
3. Rotate the nut on the threaded shaft counter clockwise to decrease tightness, or clockwise to increase
tightness.
4. Re-mount the trailer coupler on the hitch ball.
5. Push down the hitch coupler locking lever to its original locking position.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until a snug fit is obtained. (If you are unfamiliar with how tight to adjust
your coupler, consult your FLOE dealer.)
Using your FLOE trailer
Tilt Clamp
The Floe tilt clamp eliminates the hassle and rattle
of a hitch pin design. To tilt, simply loosen T-
bolt, remove the safety cotter pin, and slide clamp
forward. Slide back on, replace cotter pin, and
tighten when finished loading or unloading.
1. Loosen Knob on underside of tilt clamp.
2. Remove safety cotter pin.
3. Slide clamp forward.
4. To tilt trailer bed, either lift up on front of
trailer, or push down on rear of trailer.
5. Load trailer (see “Proper Loading and
Unloading” on page 7)
6. Tilt trailer back to horizontal position by lifting
up on rear of trailer, or pushing down on front of
trailer.
7. Slide tilt clamp back to original position,
replace cotter pin and tighten Knob.
8. Secure your load before towing. (see pages 7-9)
Failure to tighten tilt clamp and secure safety
pin before towing trailer could cause the trailer
to tilt while in transit.
WARNING
Note:
If your trailer does not stay in the tilted position:
1. The tongue mounting bolt may not be tightened to
optimal tension.
2. A tilt-assist shock assembly is available as an accessory
for your FLOE tilt trailer. See page 18.
