Operator’s Manual

Trailer Width: 

The width of your tile trailer with the table wings folded is 8’. When 

loaded with a full roll of tile, that width may increase to 10’ or 11’.  Please note this 
difference when transporting a roll on the roadway and operate with caution. 
When the tile trailer is empty, always fold the wings and lock them securely to the 
table with the pins provided. 

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS 

Take care to make sure the trailer is firmly stabilized using the attached jack(s) before 
beginning any work on the trailer, such as greasing the bearings or checking hydraulic 
fluid. Most trailers have a single jack attached. 3-PT Hitch trailers have a jack on each 
corner to act as parking stands. Make sure your tow vehicle engine is off and parking 
brake is set before entering the area under the trailer or tilted table.  

Hydraulic Safety 

Always place hydraulic controls in neutral before disconnecting from the tow vehicle 
or working on the hydraulic system.  

Be sure to relieve pressure before working on the hydraulic system. 

Replace any worn out, abraded, flattened or crimped hoses. 

Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings. Such repairs are not 
dependable under the high-pressure conditions of the system and could create a 
hazard. 

Wear proper protection for hands and eyes when trying to identify a leak in the 
hydraulic system.
