CONNECTING TRAILER AND TOWING
Inspect Trailer
Always inspect the trailer before hitching it to your vehicle.
1) Check and be sure tires are fully inflated and in good repair. See tire sidewall for recommended
pressure.
2) Check to make sure that trailer is in safe working condition. Make sure all nuts, bolts, and connections
are tight. If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer's specifications.
3) Check coupler and latch be sure it’s working properly.
4) Check to make sure coupler and ball size are the same.
5) Check wheel lug nuts to be certain they are tight.
6) Check all trailer lighting to insure they are in proper working order.
WARNING:
• Do not over-inflate tires. Serious injury can occur if tire explodes.
• Damaged or missing components, or replacement parts that do not meet specifications, may
result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the trailer.
Attach Trailer To Hitch
Attach trailer to vehicle hitch.
Trailer and tongue weights listed in the
specification section of the manual. Ensure
the towing vehicle is properly equipped to
handle the load.
1) Attach trailer coupler to vehicle's class 4
or higher hitch with 2-5/16" ball (only).
2) Ensure trailer is level, with A-frame tow
bar parallel to the ground. You may
need to adjust your coupler height or
purchase the proper hitch to achieve
the correct tongue height so trailer is
level.
WARNING: Vehicle handling may
be adversely affected while towing if the
trailer is not level.
3) Adjust coupler to ball by raising locking lever and turning lock nut with fingers. Proper adjustment is
obtained when coupler is as tight as possible on ball and locking lever can still be opened and closed.
4) Lock lever closed to secure the attachment.
An optional locking pin or padlock may be inserted in the locking lever hole for extra security.
