GENERAL INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
<
Check all lights before each use of the trailer.
<
Check the tires for wear, cuts or other damage before each use and replace as needed. Check tire pressure
often. See tire sidewall for maximum pressure and maximum load.
<
Check lug nuts for tightness before use. Torque lug nuts to 95-100 ft. lbs.
<
Periodically check the winch strap and winch parts for any wear and replace worn parts.
<
Remember… a small expense for preventive maintenance is much less expensive now than a road-side
breakdown later!
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
CONTAINED OIL ORBITAL LUBRICATION (COOL) HUBS
Ranger Trail COOL hubs have a 3 year “No Touch” warranty. There is no required maintenance for three years
from the original date of purchase. If for some unforeseen reason the hub develops an actual leak, it will be replaced
under our limited warranty. It is normal for Hybrid Oil filled hubs to weep out small amounts of lubricant at the rear
seal. When this happens, the oil will collect dirt and fall off onto the wheels as black spots. This is not a leak. Soap
and water will remove this and clean your wheels. A Hybrid Oil leak will leave a film on the wheel that you will be
able to see.
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
Ranger Boats.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists
in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in
individual problems between you, your dealer, or Ranger Boats.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153);
go to http://nhtsa.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.

Trailer / Reporting Safety Defects
Trailer tires should be properly inflated and maintained! The load-carrying
capacity of your trailer is based on the tire pressure. Inadequate tire
pressures can void your tire and trailer warranty and could also lead to
an accident damaging to people or equipment!
CAUTION
Lug nuts should be properly tightened before each use. Failure to do
so could result in loss of a wheel and could lead to an accident causing
injury or death.
