wear or tire failure. Balancing recommended. Preferred 
balancing method is to center off of stud holes, since 
13" through 16.5" wheels are not hub piloted.

Wheels

Check wheels for hole elongation or “out of round”. This 

condition can be caused by lug nuts not being tight 
or being too tight. Trailer wheels can be damaged by 
chuck holes or curb jumping. You may not be aware of 
the road shock to the wheels without periodic checks. 
Replace any wheel that is bent. Replace any wheel if 
you see elongation of the bolt holes.

Wheel Lugs

Wheel lug nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench. 
Refer to the chart below for proper 
torque
1.  Start all bolts or nuts by hand to 

prevent cross threading.

2.  Tighten bolts or nuts following 

sequence at right.

3.  The tightening of the fasteners should be done in 

stages. Following the recommended sequence, 
tighten fasteners per wheel torque chart below.

4.  Wheel nuts/bolts should be torqued before first 

road use and after each wheel removal. Check and  
re-torque after the first 10 miles, 25 miles and again 
at 50 miles. Check periodically thereafter

Ball Coupler Hitches

Coupler assembly includes a latch lever and latch lever 
safety pin or hitch pin. Be sure the latch lever is locked 
and the pin properly secured before moving your trailer. 
The pin can be engaged fully only if ball is properly 
seated in the coupler.

Hitch Balls

These come in a variety of diameters and capacities. 
The GVWR (General Vehicle Weight Rating) capacity is 
always stamped on the ball. Use a 2-5/16" ball. 

Always 

be sure the hitch ball at least matches the GVWR of 
your trailer. 

Always be sure the diameter of the hitch 

ball matches the coupler diameter. 

Never attempt to tow 

your trailer with improper size ball. 

Always keep ball 

greased to avoid excessive wear. Replace worn hitch 
ball or locking dogs promptly.

Tires

Before mounting tires onto wheels make certain that 
the rim size and contour is approved for the tire as 
shown in the Tire and Rim Association Yearbook or the 
tire manufacturer’s catalog. Also make sure the tire will 
carry the rated load. If the load is not equal on all tires 
due to trailer weight distribution, use the tire rated for 
the heaviest wheel position.
NOTE: The capacity rating molded into the sidewall 
of the tire is not always the proper rating for the tire if 
used in a trailer application. Use the following guideline:
1.  LT and ST tires: use the capacity rating molded 

into the tire.

2.  Passenger Car Tires: Use the capacity rating 

molded into the tire sidewall divided by 1.10.

Use tire mounting procedures as outlined by the Rubber 
Manufacturer’s Association or the tire manufacturers.
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in 
tire life. Inflation pressure should be as recommended 
by the manufacturer for the load. (50psi recommended) 
Pressure should be checked cold before operation. Do 
not bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check infla-
tion pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum 
tire life and tread wear. The following tire wear diagnostic 
chart will help you pinpoint the causes and solutions of 
tire wear problems.
NOTE:  Tire wear should be checked frequent-
ly because once a wear pattern becomes firmly  
established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the 
underlying cause is corrected.
