Air pressure
Remember that the air pressure inside your trailer’s tires is not
the same as that in your car or SUV’s tires. Always maintain proper
tire pressure. Avoid under or over inflation.
Under inflation can cause heat build-up in tires, which reduces
a tire’s useful life and lowers the trailer’s security load limit. Over
inflation can lead to difficult and irregular driving, which can
damage the trailer or the load. Cold inflation pressure refers
to a tire that has not been driven on for at least three hours or
has been driven on for less than 2 km (1,25 miles). A hot tire’s
inflation pressure can indicate a 6 psi increase compared to that
of a cold tire.

Spare tire and tire change
Safety is the first priority when a tire needs to be replaced during
your trip.
The Helio O Series trailers are equipped with a spare tire.
It is located under the trailer, in the back. Follow these steps
to use the spare tire:
1.
If a flat or damaged tire occurs while driving, stop your
vehicle and trailer gradually and in a controlled manner.
2.
Slowly pull up on the side of the road.
3.
Turn on your four-way flashers.
4.
If a flat or damaged tire occurs at night, use flares or warning
lights also.
5.
Use a wheel chock to block the opposite wheel.
6.
Slightly raise the trailer using a hydraulic or scissor jack
placed directly under the trailer’s aluminum frame.
7.
Loosen hub bolts.
8.
Use jack to raise the tire from the ground.
9.
Remove hub bolts and keep them together somewhere easily
accessible.
10.
Remove the wheel and replace it with the spare wheel
and tire.
11.
Replace hub bolts and tighten them by hand.
12.
Lower the wheel and tighten hub bolts by following
the sequence above.
13.
Put away the flat tire, jack and all safety tools and equipment.
