Tires
It is very important to checktires often.
DO NOT ignore checking tire
pressures often.
Change Tire &
Wheel
To raise the trailer, place a jack(hydraulic
or screw) underneath the main frame rail,
which spans from front to rear, just inside
of tires. Use jackstands or solid-blocking
for safe support. Place the jackjust ahead
of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
You may wish to only loosen the lug nuts
before raising the trailer. Remove the lug
nuts after the tire clears the ground.
Never raise the parktrailer by
placing the jackunder the axle
beam, springs or any
attachment parts.
Brakes
It is important to have the brakes adjusted
between 200-1,000 miles (320-1600
kilometers) after initial break-in period by
a qualified technician. This operation may
or may not be included as part of selling
price.
After the initial break-in period, you
should adjust the brakes after each 3,000
miles (4,800 kilometers) or at the
beginning of each trip.
It is very important to keep
brakes adjusted. Poorly
adjusted brakes will not
function correctly. Under
adjustment can cause an
adjuster wheel to fall out.
Coupler
Use a small quantity of lubricant on the
moving mechanism and all points of
movement in the actuator to insure ease of
operation.
Use conventional grease on the hitch ball
for ease of operation.
Tongue JackLubricate the jack
by extending to full
down position and insert SAE 30 oil
through oil hole in top of jack. Do this
several times per season.
