the fully closed position, be sure that the brake hose is not kinked or pinched in any
way. A pinched or kinked brake hose will cause the brakes to drag and overheat.
The pins and fasteners are special items. Any component replacement or adjust-
ment of the swing tongue should be performed by your authorized Gekko dealer.
Towing Vehicle
The towing vehicle that you choose to pull your boat and trailer must be able to pull
the full trailer and boat load. Never pull a tailer load that exceeds the vehicle’s tow-
ing capacity; you risk losing control of the trailer and/or vehicle. Always check your
vehicle operator’s manual for maximum towing/trailering load specifications and maxi-
mum gross vehicle weight specifications that include the fully loaded trailer before
trailering.
7-Pin Wiring Connector
The towing vehicle must have a seven-wire connector in order for the disc brakes
and trailer lights to function properly. It is important for the seven-wire connector on
the trailer to be properly connected to the seven wire connector on the tow vehicle.
Without the proper connection the disc brakes and trailer lights will not work.
How to Attach the Trailer
To connect the trailer to the towing vehicle, open the coupler mechanism. To open a
UFP coupler remove the hitch pin from the hole in the side of the coupler. Push the
button on the top of the handle to the side. While holding the button to the side, raise
the handle by lifting the front with two fingers. The coupler should unlatch easily.
Slowly back the vehicle up until the hitch ball is under the coupler. This process can
be easier with a watch person beside the trailer directing the driver.

WARNING
Do not move the trailer to the tow vehicle. When the trailer is moved
without a tow vehicle the brakes will not work.
To close the coupler place the coupler over the ball, lower the coupler and close the
handle. An audible “click” will be heard. The handle should close with finger pres-
sure. Then place the hitch pin into the pin hole. If the pin does not slip easily into
the pin hole, the coupler latch is not completely closed. When the coupler is at-
tached to the hitch ball be sure the coupler completely covers the hitch ball and the
lift handle will not open without pushing the push button on the side or pulling up on
the trigger.

WARNING
You must install either the hitch pin that is supplied or a padlock into the
hitch pin hole before towing to prevent the coupler latch from acciden-
tally opening.
i
WARNING
Do not tow the trailer with the handle open or if the latch handle will not
remain closer. Check to see that the coupler is locked. Lift on the han-
dle without pushing the button to the side. If the handle opens, the hitch
