Ranger Fisherman Series, Owner'S Manual

Your RangerTrail ® Trailer
On swing hitch trailers, make sure the hitch is in the forward position
and the locking pin is properly installed. Connect your trailer wire harness
and test your vehicle lights to make sure that the trailer’s brake and turn
signals duplicate your vehicles. Remove any trailer wheel chock and
carefully pull away.
To unhitch your trailer from the tow vehicle, place the trailer on a level
and paved surface and chock both trailer wheels to prevent any
movement forward or backward. Unhook the safety chains, wiring
harness and, if so equipped, the brake break-away cable. Then, using the
trailer tongue jack, raise the hitch up and clear the ball. In this position the
trailer tongue should be left somewhat bow high so that any water will run
out through the drain hole in the stern of the boat.
