mended level.
Tire Size
To maintain the trailer's carrying capacity and safety,
purchase only the same size tires as what were originally
supplied on the trailer.

* Check lug nuts for tightness before initial trip, at 10
miles, 25 miles and 50 miles. Recheck every 3 months or
3000 miles.
NOTE: Checking all of the above steps before
every trip is key for safety.
IMPORTANT: The load must be distributed equally
on the bed of the trailer if possible. Heavy, concen-
trated loads may cause damage or possible failure of
the trailer.
WARNING: Loads place on the trailer must be
securely tied to the trailer. Always use appropriate
tie downs designed to restrict loads from moving
when properly attached. Failure to do so will allow
shifting of the load causing potential trailer failure
and/or loss of the load and personal injury.
AVERTISSEMENT: Les charges placées sur la
remorque doivent être solidement attachées à la
remorque. Toujours utiliser des arrimages
appropriés conçus pour empêcher les charges de
bouger lorsqu'elles sont bien attachées. Le non-
respect de cette consigne permettra le mouvement
de la charge, entraînant une défaillance potentielle
de la remorque et/ou une perte de la charge et des
lésions corporelles.
This trailer is equipped to meet all applicable federal
safety standards in effect the day of manufacture. Check
local and state requirements regarding any additional
equipment that may be required.
The addition of optional equipment to your trailer may in-
crease the total weight of your trailer package to where it
now exceeds the maximum load carrying capacity of the
trailer.
Tow Vehicles
WARNING: Serious injury or property damage can
result if the total weight of your loaded trailer exceeds
the capacity of the hitch and/or your tow vehicle.
AVERTISSEMENT: Des blessures graves ou de
dommages à la propriété peuvent survenir sir le poids
total de la remorque chargée
excède la capacité de l'attelage et/ou du véhicule
remorqueur.
It is very important that you know and understand the
towing capabilities of your tow vehicle. This is especially
true with the braking abilities of the tow vehicle. You
should check with your authorized dealer to see what the
capabilities are for the total towing load and the maximum
allowable tongue weight for the vehicle you plan on using
for towing.
It is also important that the lighting system in the tow
vehicle has sufficient capacity support the additional load
the trailer lighting will add to the system. A heavy duty
flasher may be required to make your turn signals function
properly.
