SECTION A - INSTALLATION
1.
LOCATION SELECTION
In-order to optimize your traffic calming results, there are a few simple things to keep in mind and simple
steps to follow. You’ll want to position the trailer in location that’s on a relatively flat stretch of road and is not
too close to any stop signs, intersections, or sharp curves in the road. Also, a clear line-of-sight relatively free
of obstructions such as large trees, fences or other landscape features is most desirable. Keep in mind that the
radar unit you’ve purchased is approach only (single-directional), so only the speed of oncoming vehicles is
displayed.

SETTING UP FOR USE
Park the trailer as close to the final resting place as possible. Remove the safety chains and unplug the lights.
Important: Next, lower the front jack.
Then unlock and unlatch the ball hitch coupler. Lift the trailer off the
ball and roll it into position. To set the leveling jacks:
1. Extend leg of jack
towards the center
of trailer (Figure 2a) to release the jack. Swing leg down until the
tabs engage in the locking slots, Figure 2b.
2. Extend the leg by pressing on the middle release lever (Figure 2c). To raise the trailer higher, insert the jack
rod end securely through the holes in the leg and through the rear hole (Figure 2d). Crank the jack rod for
desired leveling.

3. Next, unlatch the two latches at each front corner of the trailer and raise the display into position.
Note:
Make sure trailer footing is solid and steady.
4. Proceed to raise the display with another person assisting (if necessary) to prevent sign damage and/or
possible injury from a shifting trailer.
5. Take the end locking pin that was provided in the tool bag and lock the swing-up display in place using
this pin (Figure 3a).
Notes:
When the display is lowered for transport, always install the locking pin as shown (Figure 3b).
Notes:
Do not raise the display with the locking pin still in the storage slot.
