equipment damage and severe bodily harm even death!
DANGER
When performing trailer inspection and maintenance
activities, you must jack up the trailer using jacks and
jackstands.

repair cracked or broken welds unless you
have a certified welder perform the repair. If not, have
the welds repaired by your dealer.

immediately by qualified personnel. In addition, the
trailer should be inspected annually for signs of wear
or deformations.
