3. Be sure the coupler is secured to the trailer hitch and safety chains or
cables are attached.
4. Check the brakes for proper operation prior to departure. See Owner’s
Manual for brakes or trailer for complete instructions.
5. Check the springs and under carriage for loose parts.
6. Carry a spare tire for both the trailer and towing vehicle. On extended
trips, carry spare wheel bearings, seals, and races. Be sure and carry the
proper tools to complete the repairs.
7. When traveling, check the wheel hubs during stops at gas stations, restau-
rants, or other places. If the hub feels abnormally hot, the bearing should
be inspected before continuing the trip.
Note:
All boats and trailers used in salt or brackish waters must be rinsed off com-
pletely with fresh water immediately after use, to prevent rust and corrosion.
Failure to rinse the trailer could cause cosmetic trailer damage that is not cov-
ered by your warranty.
WHEEL BEARINGS
The best protection you can give to your wheel bearings is to always keep the hubs
fully lubricated. Periodically add fresh grease to the trailer hubs with a water resis-
tant wheel bearing grease. Fill the hubs with grease to the manufacturer’s specifica-
tions.
