Driving with the Trailer
BACKING UP THE TRAILER
WARNING:
Because of its compact design, the RACKandROLL
trailer may be difficult or impossible to see behind certain
vehicles in certain conditions. You can damage your trailer and
tow vehicle if you “jack-knife” the trailer backing up because you
can’t see it. It is very easy to jack-knife a trailer if you can not
see it to make corrections. Constantly check your left and right
mirrors while backing up. Use a helper to guide you, or use our
optional safety pole (page 10).
TIPS:
If you can do so without injury, simply unhitch the trailer
and reposition your tow vehicle where you want it and then
reconnect the trailer.
WATER SUBMERSION
We do NOT recommend that you submerse the trailer in water.
Electrical wiring connections, safety pins, and wheel axle
bolts that are the most subject to corrosion and potential
malfunction from water and road conditions –
see REQUIRED
MAINTENANCE
. Avoiding water submersion will reduce these
issues and prevent water from sitting inside the frame members
where wiring and connections are routed.
