NEVER service electrical components if clothing or skin is wet. If the unit is stored outside, check the
engine and generator for any moisture and dry the unit before use.
NEVER wash the unit with a power washer or high pressure hose.
Open main circuit breaker before disconnecting battery cables.
Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts on generator and engine.
Make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and other types of lifting devices are attached securely
and have enough weight-bearing capacity to lift or hold the equipment safely. Always remain aware
of the position of other people around you when lifting the equipment.
TOWING SAFETY
Towing a trailer requires care! Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened
to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Also, some states require that large trailers be
registered and licensed. Contact your local Department of Transportation office to check on license
requirements for your particular unit.
Check that the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's
“gross vehicle weight rating” (GVWR).
Check tires on trailer for tread wear, inflation, and condition.
Inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or damage. DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts!
Make sure the trailer hitch and the coupling are compatible. Make sure the coupling is securely fastened
to the vehicle.
Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under the tongue and attach the breakaway cable TO
THE REAR BUMPER OF THE TOWING VEHICLE. Do not attach the cable to the trailer hitch.
Make sure directional and brake lights on the trailer are connected and working properly.
Check that all lug nuts holding wheels on are tight and that none are missing.
Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 m.p.h. Recommended off-road towing speed
is not to exceed 10 m.p.h. or less depending on terrain.
When towing, maintain extra space between vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and sudden lane
changes. If you have not pulled a trailer before, practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an area away
from heavy traffic.
A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean
and apply fresh grease each time the trailer is towed.
REPORTING TRAILER SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Magnum Products LLC.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problem between you, your dealer, or Magnum Products LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:1-800-424-9153),
