  We appreciate your business and hope you are proud of your new FLOE Cargo Max 
XRT trailer – a pride that will continue throughout the years. If you shopped trailers

improvements to our product lines to ensure that we are on the “leading edge” and 
providing the best available trailer.
  We are confident your FLOE trailer will provide you with years of trouble-free trailering, and that if you decide to 
buy another trailer, it is because you want another FLOE model.
  Please take the time to read and understand this owner’s manual before towing your new trailer. The information 
offered here will have a direct impact on your safety, the safety of others, and the dependability of your trailer.
  Thank you for choosing FLOE.
