Safety is of utmost importance at all times. There are several items that should be checked each time before usingand while using the Trailer.
Make sure all bolts are properly tightened.
Make sure that the hitch and hitch ball are in good condition and not rusted, loose or stripped. Both the hitch andhitch ball must be securely attached to the truck. The ball coupler must latch securely around the ball and the safetyball clamp must be in position to lock the hitch on the ball.RECOMMENDED BALL HEIGHT: 20 inches to the top of the towing vehicle ball.
Criss-cross the safety chains under the car carrier tongue and secure to safety chain mounting loops on truck.
The snap hook on the actuator must be hooked to the rear bumper of the truck.
Check to make sure that all lights are in proper working order.
The Car Carrier tires should be inflated to the recommended 50 PSI.
The cable on the optional winch must be in good condition and should be stored neatly on winch when not in use.Any damaged or frayed cable must be replaced.
Periodically check all bolts and nuts to insure proper tension or torque.
Polyvinyl protective tape is required between all steel and aluminum surfaces which come in contact with each otherto prevent galvanic corrosion.
For safety reasons, loading or unloading of tow dollies should be done by two people.Tilting of the trailer is not requiredfor loading or unloading of tow dollies. Always use the winch when loading and unloading tow dollies.There are five po-sitions on the trailer for hauling tow dollies. The first position at the front of the trailer requires the tow dolly to be loadedrear first with the tongue facing to the rear of the trailer and resting on the bed. The rear four positions require the towdollies to be loaded facing forward and resting on top of the unit ahead of it.ALWAYS CENTER YOUR LOAD.
Example:When 1 unit is loaded, place it in the third position.When 2 units are loaded, place them in the second & third positions.When 3 units are loaded, place them in the middle three positions.When 4 units are loaded, place them in the first, second, fourth,and fifth positions.
Always tie down units with the chain binders provided.The binder side of the chain is always positioned towards the rearof the trailer at all five positions.
At the rear (5th) position, on the incline, there are two extra chains provided. Hook these into the rear position tie downhole of the 4th position and into the hole in the platform gusset on the main frame of the tow dolly. Hook the tie down intothe last hole provided and to the rear tie down d-ring.The flat iron in the tie down chain lays on the axle of the tow dolly.Be sure that all links are straight and hooks are pointedtowards the tie down holes when installing tie down chain binders.If a binder seems loose in the locked position, twist thelong chain end one complete revolution and lock down.Remember, safety first, this is a two person operation, the winch should always be used at all times.
