Storing the Trailer, Wheel Removal
Storage Options 4-5 require removing the wheels:
Lean the trailer
back per Storage Option 3. Check that it’s stable. Now unlock and open
the black wheel block levers. Un-snap the bow-tie cotter pins and pull out
the Shock Pins. Hold onto the Wheel and slip the Wheel and Wheel Block
off the Swingarm (see picture). Reinsert the pins for safe keeping.
STORAGE OPTION 4 – No tongue, wheels off.
Lean the trailer
frame against a wall. It can be at a more vertical position than
Option 3 with wheels on (see picture).
STORAGE OPTION 5 (not pictured) – No tongue, wheels off.
You can hang the trailer frame on a wall by its Crossbars using
properly rated brackets. You may or may not have to remove
roof rack hardware from your Crossbars (not pictured).
ROLLING THE FRAME SIDEWAYS
The two small roller-blade wheels
are designed to provide easy lateral
rolling of the frame. You have to tilt
and balance the frame just right to
use them. Please be careful with the
license plate when rolling the frame –
it can hurt you (see picture)!

Salt Water Environments
Use inside storage or a tarp if outside.
Spray the steel parts (yellow zinc bolts
and nuts, cotter pins etc.) with WD-40
or equivalent. See
Grease
