time of manufacture. Check the local and
state requirements regarding any additional
equipment that may be required.
Note: Trailer laws covering such things
as brakes, lights, safety cables, licenses,
etc., will vary from state to state. Be sure
that the trailer is in full compliance with
applicable state laws. An authorized Mas -
terCraft dealer can help in this regard. Oth -
erwise, contact the nearest state motor ve -
hicle department.
Maintenance
(Note that failure to follow these rou -
tine procedures may result in failures that
are not covered under warranty.)
Failure to follow maintenance procedures
as outlined in this Owner’s Manual may re-
sult in component failure. Such failure is
not covered under warranty. Failure may
also result in loss of control or other mal-
function that could potentially lead to seri-
ous injury or death!
• Hose off the brake rotors and calipers,
along with all other parts of the trailer
that have come in contact with salt water
or brackish water, as this will minimize
corrosion. A fresh water flush of the sys -
tem is the most critical aspect of trailer
maintenance.
• Extremely thick, heavy rust on rotor sur -
faces will not allow the wheel assembly
to rotate freely, resulting in heat build-
up and premature wear on components.
Clean or replace components as neces-
sary.
• Brake pads must be replaced when 3/32”
(.094”) or less of the pad friction mate -
rial is left.
Brake pad replacement should be per-
formed by an authorized MasterCraft
dealer. Improper pad replacement may de-
crease braking effectiveness, potentially
resulting in a collision as a result of failure
to stop the tow vehicle within an accept-
able distance.
• Rotors should be resurfaced by a quali -
fied brake specialist if extreme galling or
wear marks are present.
Worn rotors must be replaced. Failure to do
so may result in brake failure, which may
cause serious injury or death.
• Be certain that hydraulic fluid is clean
and the fluid level is within ½” of the
top of the reservoir. (See the
Actuator
and Axle
information contained in this
section of the Owner’s Manual. ) Do not
fill beyond that level. Brake systems use
DOT 3 (preferred) or DOT 4 hydraulic
fluid. DO NOT USE DOT 5 BRAKE
FLUID. DOT5 FLUID WILL DAM-
AgE THE SEALS IN THE ACTUA-
TOR AND CALIPERS, CAUSINg
FAILURE OF THE BRAKES THAT
COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR
DEATH.
• Check for leaks in the brake lines and
fittings. Leaks will lead to loss of trailer
braking ability. Present the trailer to an
authorized MasterCraft dealer for repair
