OPERATION
WARNING
Before using the trailer, review the instructions below and safety information. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or bystanders.
USING YOUR TRAILER
1.
DO NOT
exceed rated load capacity of 340kg (750lb).
2.
ALWAYS
secure and lock the trailer to the ride on machinery hitch before operating.
3.
ONLY
use approved vehicles when towing the trailer (Lawn/Garden Tractors and ATVs).
4.
NEVER
tow the trailer with box raised.
5.
DO NOT
over fill the trailer. Overflow loads can cause the trailer and towing vehicle to lose traction and
skid out of control.
6.
ONLY
fill the trailer to a comfortable tipping load. Extremely heavy loads will be difficult to operate and tip.
7.
ALWAYS
use the trailer for its intended purpose.
8.
ALWAYS
make sure that the tow vehicle and the combined weight of the operator MUST BE greater than
the load of the trailer weight for proper control.
9.
DO NOT
use trailer on public highways or roads. This is not a road legal product. Use of this nature can
cause premature wear of the tyres, not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
10.
NEVER
exceed the recommended PSI of the tyre. Inflation must always be undertaken by a foot or hand-
controlled inflation device.
11.
NEVER
exceed
10 MPH
when towing the trailer.
12.
DO NOT
make sharp turns that may cause the Lawn/Garden Tractor or ATV tyres to rub against the trailer.
13.
ALWAYS
slow down before turning.
14.
ALWAYS
use caution when backing the trailer. To avoid the trailer from “jack-knifing” always back up in a
straight line.
