2.1 Pre-tow Check List
•

•
Inspect all bolts and fasteners that apply to your trailer
•
Inspect the condition of the wheels; tire pressure (90 psi) and tighten the wheel nuts properly (90Nm)
•
Coupler to be secured and locked
•
Safety Breakage Chain properly rigged to tow vehicle, not to hitch ball only
•
Make sure that the nose wheel is adjusted to its driving position
•
Test of lights: Tail, Stop, Turn and Backup. Connect electric system to the car and provide testing
•
Cargo properly loaded, balanced and tied down with a proper proportion of the weight on the tongue of the trailer
•
Walls closed and latched. There is an option to secure the wall latches with a splinter pin
•
Check that drawbar is latched to the trailer frame by both drawbar latches to be tightened properly with eye nuts
•
Provide compactness check of the suspension by trying to move the trailer back and forth sideways by holding the
wheel. An appearance of major slack might have its origin in both wheel bearings and the pre-tension tightening of
the suspension system. If you suspect any such problem, contact your trailer dealer for advice or assistance

Tighten the winch wire slightly before driving, the wire resting onto the bolt tube of the locking device front end
