DO NOT exceed maximum load capacity for your spe-
cific application.
Exceeding the load capacity could cause trailer or tow
vehicle to damage and personal injury could be incurred.
11.10.1 Operating Precautions
Observe the following recommendations for safe and trouble
free operations:
•
Trailer load capacity - 600 lbs. (270 kg.). Trailer weight
- 385 lbs. (175kg.)
•
Keep tire pressure at 4 psi.
•
Cargo must be kept low and centered in the trailer at all
times, especially if used in water. Be aware that loads
may shift when trailer is operated in uneven terrain.
•
Keep both drain plugs in place and tightly sealed. Re-
move floorboard for access to plugs. To tighten plugs,
turn lever clockwise. To loosen, turn counter clockwise.
To remove, lift lever and pull up on plug.
•
Caution - Asphalt or concrete surfaces will cause exces-
sive tire wear.
•
Do not use in fast flowing or rough water. Operator dis-
cretion is advised.
•
Do not stop suddenly when pulling a loaded trailer down
hill as it may run ahead or into the back of the vehicle
pulling it.
Keep fingers clear of tongue swiveling components.
•
Do not step on or place loads on the edge of the body
over the trailer wheels. This area of the trailer body is
intended only as a mud guard.
•
Keep the outer axle bearing flanges and inner bearings
filled with Shell Alvania 2 grease, or equivalent, as this
provides extra protection for the bearings from dirt and
water.
•
Remove water and debris from the trailer frequently. This
will prevent premature rusting of the frame and con-
tamination of the bearings.
