Trailer Components
and How They Function
TRAILER JACK
The trailer is equipped with a trailer jack, which serves several purposes.
The trailer jack can hold and lift the trailer to position for lowering on the hitch ball of the tow
vehicle. It is also useful for assisting and balancing as a trailer rests free of the tow vehicle or is
moved.
Rotate the trailer jack so that it is vertical and snap the locking pin before placing any kind of
load on the trailer jack. Always retract and rotate back into the horizontal position for stowing or
towing.
Also snap the locking pin prior to placing any kind of load on the trailer jack.
Failure to do so could result in the trailer jack collapsing or otherwise failing, which
could lead to serious injury or death.
Failure to properly stow the trailer jack in a horizontal position and lock in place
could result in damage to the trailer jack that is not covered under warranty.
The drive gear and rack-and-pinion that control the trailer jack movement should be
periodically greased with a marine-grade grease. The wheel bearings in the jack and the coaster
should also be periodically oiled to ensure that the components continue to operate as designed.
LIGHTS
NEVER operate the trailer, even during daylight, without verifying that the lights
work properly. When the brakes are applied, it is critical that traffic following can see that you are slowing and/or stopping
by seeing the lights come on. In the event of rain, lights are required in most locations to tow the trailer. Even assuming you
will return prior to dark, events could occur that result in towing after dark.
Malibu Trailers will integrate with most tow vehicle wiring harness requirements. Note
the plug-in in the accompanying photo. If the harness will not connect to the plug, contact
either the authorized Malibu dealer for assistance or the tow vehicle’s authorized dealer. A
different harness or an adapter may be necessary. These should be installed only by trained
service technicians. Never use any harness or adapter that is not specified by the tow vehicle
manufacturer and Malibu Trailers.
The trailer is equipped with running lights as well as taillights/stoplights. As with any
electrical lamp, the lights will eventually burn out. As specified, the lights have a very long
lifetime, but if any ever cease to work, take the trailer to your authorized Malibu Trailer dealer to have the bulb
replaced. If the exterior lens cover is damaged or broken, this should also be replaced.
Additionally, these tips can help keep the light system working at its best:
• Check for burned out/broken bulbs and lenses prior to each use.
• Use a small amount of marine-grade grease on the plug contacts and light-bulb base to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Be sure the ground wire (white) is properly connected to the trailer frame at all times.
AXLES
The trailer is equipped with the VAULT bearing protector. The VAULT uses only Hybrid Oil™ lubricant, which combines the
benefits of oil and grease. The VAULT protects the wheel bearings in a sealed, pressurized chamber that is unaffected by outside
elements. For optimal performance, only UFP’s Hybrid Oil Lubricant should be used in this system.
The system has a number of unique features not found on conventional trailer axles. Every possible leak point on the front and
