load.

WARNING: Ensure you are loading the unit as evenly as you can for
the best possible handling. All items must be secured to avoid shifting
during travel.

WARNING: The exterior ladder must be removed and secured inside
the trailer prior to moving the trailer. Failure to remove it will cause the
trailer to exceed the maximum allowable width for use on any roadway,
and may result in damage or personal injury.
When all items have been loaded into your trailer, weigh it to determine that you have
remained within the maximum capacities for the trailer and tow vehicle. Refer to the
weighing instructions in this manual. If you are overloaded, you must remove or
redistribute some of your cargo or liquids. You may also want to take a “shake down
cruise” before hitting the road to verify that all items are secure and the trailer tows as it
should.
The following warning label is attached to your trailer to remind you of proper loading:
