lights
Before each use make certain that all
trailer lights are in proper working order,
to reduce the risk of serious injury, death
and/or property damage.
The MasterCraft trailer harness was specifically
designed to mate with O.E.M. automotive equip-
ment. This harness is designed to disengage the
trailer brakes with the use of the tow vehicle’s
O.E.M. harness.
Note: See an authorized MasterCra dealer if
the tow vehicle does not have the correct trailer
harness.
Here are a few things to do to keep the trailer
lighting system in good working order:

Wheels and hubs
Because they are often exposed to water, trailer wheels and tires require more attention
than the wheels on a family vehicle. The three major items to check are lug nuts, lubrication
and tire pressure.
Maintain the proper torque on the lug nuts
attached to the wheel bolts. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury or death and/or
property damage. An authorized Master-
Cra dealer can provide the proper torque
specications (measured in foot-pounds).
Keep the wheel bearings lubricated.
Inspect the wheel bearings for proper
lubrication before each use. Failure
to do so may cause wheel failure and
possible wheel loss, which may result in serious injury or death and/or
property damage.
Aluminum wheels also require attention to routine maintenance, particularly in keeping
them clean. Failure to do so may result in damage that is not covered by warranty.
The trailer and wheels should be washed weekly during boating season, and after
every use if the trailer has been submerged in salt or brackish water. Use a soft brush,
