This section is intended to provide the user with generic
trailer service and maintenance information. The service
and maintenance guidelines referenced in this section refer
to a wide range of trailers.

towing of the generator and will prevent personal injury and
damage to the equipment.
The definitions below describe some of the major
components of a typical trailer that would be used with
generator.
1.
Fuel Cell
— Provides an adequate amount of fuel for
the equipment in use. Fuel cells must be empty when
transporting equipment.
2.
Braking System
— System employed in stopping
the trailer. Typical braking systems are electric, surge,
hydraulic, hydraulic-surge and air.
3.
gvWr
— Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is
the maximum number of pounds the trailer can carry,
including the fuel cell (empty).
4.
Frame length
— Measurement is from the ball hitch
to the rear bumper (reflector).
5.
Frame Width
— Measurement is from fender to

inches (10,12,14, etc.), and the width in millimeters
(175,185,205, etc.). The tire diameter must match the
