Home is where your heart is...
down the ramp, carefully braking to ensure control of
the vehicle.
If you loaded your vehicle forward (front in) that means
you will unload it in reverse. Driving a motorized vehicle
backwards down a hill (the ramp) is not recommended.
A slight turn of the handle or slip of a wheel can cause
your vehicle to fall, tip or roll sideways. If you are on or
in the vehicle you can be inured or killed. Unload the
vehicle safely as follows:
1. Be sure the back tires of the vehicle are aligned
with the ramp, and there are no people, pets or
obstructions in the unloading area at the end of the
ramp. Assure that the ground surface will support
the vehicle, and that the vehicle cannot roll away
uncontrolled.
2. Stand at the front of the vehicle.
3. Push the vehicle backward in line with the ramp.
4. As the rear tires start down the ramp let go of the
vehicle and let it roll backwards (don’t try and slow or
control the vehicle as this can cause injury).
DANGER
DO NOT SMOKE WHEN FILLING THE TANK. BEFORE DISPENSING
FUEL, TURN OFF ALL ENGINES AND FUEL BURNING APPLI-ANCES
AND GROUND THE TRAILER. DO NOT DISPENSE FUEL WITHIN 20
FEET OF AN IGNITION SOURCE.
Fuel Transfer System
A fuel transfer system allows you to store gasoline
for use in motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs or other
vehicles and equipment while at a campsite. This
system consists of a fuel tank, fuel tank filter, fuel
gauge, fuel transfer pump, fuel transfer valve and hose
with fill nozzle. A master pump switch is located on the
inside control panel and an emergency shutoff switch
is located on the trailer frame rail near the fuel transfer
pump. A metal ground clip reduces the possibility of
static electricity discharge between the fuel station and
the equipment being fueled.
To fill the tank, remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank
with the grade gasoline required by your equipment.
When replacing the fuel fill cap, be sure it seats squarely
and turn it firmly to lock it on the fill pipe neck.
DANGER
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE FUEL VAPOR MAY BE PRESENT AT FUEL
FILLING STATIONS AND DURING REFUELING OF EQUIPMENT WITH
THE FUEL TRANSFER SYSTEM. NEVER ENTER A FUEL FILLING
STATING OR REFUEL EQUIPMENT IF YOUR FURNACE OR WATER
HEATER IS OPERATING OR IF YOUR REFRIGERATOR IS OPERATING
ON PROPANE. BOTH THE FLAME AND THE IGNITORS IN THE
BURNERS OF THESE APPLIANCES ARE SOURCES OF IGNITION,
AND COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. THESE APPLIANCES MUST
BE TURNED OFF BEFORE ENTERING A FUEL FILLING STATION OR
REFUELING EQUIPMENT. TURNING OFF THE PROPANE MAIN TANK
VALVE ONLY IS NOT SUFFICIENT. THE APPLIANCES MUST BE OFF AT
THEIR ELECTRICAL OPERATING SWITCHES.
DANGER
ANY MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT POWERED WITH FLAMMABLE LIQUID
CAN CAUSE FIRE AND EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION IF STORED
OR TRANSPORTED INSIDE THE TRAILER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE,EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION: 1. DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS
TO RIDE INSIDE THE STORAGE AREA AT ANY TIME 2. PRIOR TO
STORING VEHICLES IN THE TRAILER, RUN FUEL OUT OF THE ENGINE
AFTER SHUTTING OFF FUEL AT THE VEHICLE FUEL TANK 3. DO NOT
STORE OR TRANSPORT ANY MOTOR FUEL INSIDE THE TRAILER 4.
VENTILATE THE INTERIOR OF THE TRAILER TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION. OPEN THE VENTILATION
PANELS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CARGO AREA. 5. DO NOT OPERATE
PROPANE APPLIANCES, PILOT LIGHTS, OR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
WHEN MOTORIZED VEHICLES OR MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT ARE
INSIDE THE TRAILER. SET THE CARGO ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT
SWITCH TO OFF.
Fuel Transfer System Safety
Static electricity-related incidents when refueling are
extremely unusual. They appear to happen most often
during cool or cold and dry climate conditions. In rare
circumstances, these static related incidents have
resulted in a brief flash fire occurring at the fill point. You
can minimize these and other potential fueling hazards
by following safe refueling procedures.
A build-up of static electricity can be caused by re-
entering a vehicle during fueling, particularly in cool or
cold and dry weather. If you return to the fuel fill pipe
during refueling, the static may discharge at the fill point
causing a flash fire or small sustained fire with gasoline
refueling vapors.
