Tire information Tire Terminology Glossary Safety • Accessory weight means- the combined weight of automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory-installed equipment.
Tire Markings Inner diameter in inches Load index and Speed rating* Safety European tire certificate* Section width in inches U.S. DOT tire identification number Tire ply composition and materials used Assembly Maximum permissible inflation pressure Maximum load rating Trailer tire *Information not required by U.S. DOT • U.S. DOT tire identification numberThis begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards.
Safety • Speed Rating- The speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time. This does not indicate that the vehicle or rims can safely reach or maintain that speed. These ratings are listed below. (The markings on the example tire diagram show M. The markings on your tire may differ.) Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.
Tire care Note: Underinflated tires can decrease handling, stopping performance, traction, tire life, and load‑carrying capability, in addition to causing other negative and hazardous effects, including tire failure. Overinflated tires are at greater risk of an impact break, where the tread and casing break when striking a hard edge, often opening a huge gash across the tread. Incorrect inflation pressure also increases tires wear rate. Therefore, it is important to keep tires inflated properly.
Tire Repair To properly repair a punctured tire, the hole needs to be properly plugged and patched from the inside of the tire. Tread punctures can be repaired if they are not too large. Sidewall punctures should not be repaired, the tire needs to be replaced if the sidewall is damaged. Tires should be removed from the rim to be inspected before being plugged and patched. A qualified mechanic should remove the tire from the rim, perform the repair, and remount the tire.
Acceleration and Passing 4. When passing on narrow roads, be careful not to go onto a soft shoulder. This could cause your trailer to jackknife or go out of control. Downgrades and Upgrades 1. Downshift to assist with braking on downgrades and to add power for climbing hills. 2. On long downgrades, apply brakes at intervals to keep speed in check. Never leave brakes on for extended periods of time or they may overheat. 3. Some tow vehicles have specifically calibrated transmission tow-modes.
Maintenance Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician. Safety TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Note: Tow vehicles often have more frequent maintenance requirements, including changes of engine and transmission oils and filters, lubrication of components, and cooling system checks.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM LOSS OF CONTROL: Position Trailer on flat, level, hard surface and chock both Tires (19) before folding/unfolding. Assembly 2. With the assistance of one or two helpers, fold the rear section of the Trailer over the front section of the Trailer. (See Figure R.) Figure R: Folding Bed 3. Secure the rear section and front section together with 4 elastic cords (not included) or rope.
