Loading -
Most injuries occur when loading. An inept attempt to load a horse can cause physical
injury and psychological scarring making your horses become fearful of trailers. To prevent injuries,
train the horse to load and haul properly. There are many training methods you can use and it is the
responsibility of the person loading horses to find a proper loading method.
Towing - Familiarize yourself with state or provincial laws on connecting devices, safety chains,
brakes, and breakaway switches. There are some basic factors related to connecting devices which
can cause separation or loss of control:
• Failure to close coupler
• Improper or poorly installed equipment
• Wrong size ball
• Improperly connected safety chains or inoperable breakaway systems
• Wrong size or under-inflated tires
• Suspension problems
• Improper or uneven loading in the trailer
• Excessive speeds
• Hitting bumps or depressions in the road
• Erratic or unequal braking action
• Rounding corners at excessive speeds
Maintenance
Owner Maintenance Items
• Lug Nuts - They need to be torqued each trip 90 FP.
• Worn Brakes - Worn brakes are not considered defective.
• Bearing Lubrication - Our factory lubrication should last the first 180 days. It is the responsibility
of the owner after that.
Operation and Care - Considering the investment you have made in your new Logan Coach, Inc.
trailer you will want to operate and maintain it properly. We urge you to follow the instructions
contained in your Owner’s Manual folder.
Maintenance Records -
We recommend that you retain receipts covering regular maintenance. This
warranty does not cover damage to your Logan Coach, Inc. trailer caused by lack of maintenance.
Receipts are important if questions arise whether a failure is caused by lack of maintenance or a
defect in material or workmanship.
The Owner’s Manual folder is a good place to file your receipts. For your convenience, you will find
a “Maintenance Record” form at the end of your Owner’s Manual to record services performed.
You should observe the following maintenance suggestions to enhance and preserve the
appearance, value, and performance of your Logan Coach, Inc. trailer. If you let your Logan Coach,
Inc. trailer sit for some time, check all of the below components and parts before loading up and
taking it on the road.
Roof -
It is advised that you inspect the roof seams, vents and any other areas on the roof of your
trailer that have been sealed with roof seal tape or caulk every 6 months. Look to see that the tape is
maintaining good adhesion to the roofs service and that the caulk is free of voids. Logan Coach uses
quality materials in sealing the roofs of our trailers but exposure to extreme heat and UV light over
time can affect the performance of some of these products. As with any elevated surface extreme
caution should be used when accessing such areas. Be sure that the surface is dry and free from any
debris that could cause slipping and a possible fall. Roof should not be accessed if it is iced over or
wet. Failure to perform the maintenance could void this portion of the 2 year hitch to BP warranty.
Floorboards (on models with wood floors) - To guard against dry rot, often check floorboards
for weakness visually and by pulling the rubber floor mats out. To prevent the process of dry rot,
pull the mats out regularly and sweep out debris, and allow the wood to dry.
