Specifications
parking brake, shift into Park, and then remove your foot from the brake pedal.
Following this parking sequence is important to be sure your vehicle does not
become locked in Park because of extra load on the transmission. For manual
transmissions, apply the parking brake and then turn the vehicle off in either first
or reverse gear.
WHEN UNCOUPLING THE TRAILER, place blocks at the front and rear of
the trailer tires to ensure that the trailer does not roll away when the coupling is
released.
AN UNBALANCED LOAD may cause the tongue to suddenly rotate upward;
therefore, before uncoupling, place jack stands under the rear of the trailer.
IF A TRAILER SEEMS HARD TO PULL or sways to one side, a brake rotor
may not be rotating freely. If this appears to be the problem, immediately contact
your authorized MasterCraft dealer for assistance. Ignoring this symptom could
result in brake failure.
introduCtion
With the purchase of a new MasterCraft trailer, custom-built to integrate with a Mas-
terCraft boat, value has been added to the boating experience. Thousands of recreational
waterways are now available.
As the manufacturer, MasterCraft has provided a vehicle designed specifically for many
years of attractive, trouble-free service. Now, it is up to the owner and/or operator to give it
proper care and maintenance to be sure it will continue to perform safely and satisfactorily.
The purpose of this section of the Manual is to help owners and operators do just that.
Please read and follow the warnings and instructions carefully. Also, because all trailers are
not exactly alike, be sure to read and comply with any warnings and additional information
supplied by MasterCraft and parts suppliers within the owner packet. It’s the best way to
obtain peak performance.
Before towing this trailer, be sure to read
and understand this Manual.
a proper matCh
The key to carefree boat trailering is the proper match of boat to trailer. This proper
match is only one reason why the MasterCraft engineering staff has designed the trailer to
carry the full weight of the boat, engine and a reasonable amount of gear. It also provides
the proper support for the boat hull during storage.
e total weight of the boat, engine, fuel,
water and gear must not exceed the trailer’s
maximum load-carrying capacity. Over-
loading can cause instability and loss of con-
trol while towing, which may result in death, serious injury or property damage.
