If loading your trailer when not connected to the tow vehicle, use wheel chocks to ensure the
trailer cannot move during loading and only load vehicle using the recovery winch. Have some
tension on the cables to ensure load is taken on the tyres. Stand clear while loading.
CAUTION
Loading your Futura Lowering Trailer
Loaded tongue load must be 10% of total load. An incorrectly loaded vehicle may result in
trailer sway or whipping and lead to a total loss of control. For correct weight distribution
rear engine cars may require loading backwards.
Do not exceed the load stated on the trailer’s tyre and loading information plate. Apply the
towed vehicle park brake and always ensure towed vehicle is correctly secured to the trailer
using Futura over wheel tie down straps before towing. Replace tie down straps if worn.
WARNING
WARNING
Futura lowering trailers are designed specifically for carrying motor vehicles. It is recommended that Futura
over the wheel tie straps be used to secure the vehicle with the tie straps connected to the side chassis rails.
The vehicle must be loaded as far forward on the trailer as possible so the loaded tongue weight is 10% of the
total load. Do not load cargo in the towed vehicle, once it is onboard the trailer as this may change the load
distribution and overload the trailer.
