Slot the Drill Adapter in your Drill chuck and
secure tightly to avoid the adapter slipping.
Align and insert the Drill Adapter to the low
gear Driveshaft. Use of an electric drill is not
recommended on the high gear.
NOTE: If you are using a cordless drill, be
sure your battery pack is fully charged
before use. Follow your drill/driver
manufacturer’s recommendation.
NOTE: When attempting to move up any
incline, it is recommended that the trailer be
moved without the use of the drill adapter.
Using the adapter when leading your trailer
down an incline may result in damage to your
drill.

use your drill attachment to move your 5X.
STEP 6: OPERATING THE DEVICE
NOTE: If your trailer has built-in brakes, they
must be disengaged prior to operation of
the 5X. Consult your trailer manufacturer’s
manual/ instructions on temporary brake
release. If this is not available to you, please
contact Trailer Valet Customer Support
through phone or email for assistance.
When ready to operate the device, be sure to
have one hand rmly gripped on the brake/
steering handle and the other hand rmly
holding the drill/driver.
Lift the Steering Handle until the brake
is disengaged and begin cranking. The
Steering Handle must be held up rmly at all
times when moving the trailer.
Hold the drill rmly when engaging. If
using an electric drill, it will have high initial
torque if the drill trigger is pulled rather than
squeezed. Begin to move the trailer as slowly
as capable and carefully increase the power
up to an appropriate speed when using the
Drill Attachment.
NOTE: It is important that you steer the
device only when you are cranking and the
trailer is moving. Attempting to turn the
Steering/Brake Handle at a dead stop will
place excessive stress on a single tire which
may result in damage.
NOTE: When attempting to make sharp turns
(E.G. 90° rotation) from a stationary position,
crank the 5X back and forth while turning
until the unit is in the desired position. Then,
proceed to make the turn.
DO NOT use the 5X on slopes
and inclines exceeding a strict maximum
of 7 degrees on a paved/ concrete
surface. This rating is subject to factors
including, but not limited to, alternate
surfaces, weight distribution, change
in weight capacity, and use on multi-
axle trailers. If you have any questions
concerning the use of your 5X on a slope
or incline, please contact us at (844) 846-
9344 or email us at: support@trailervalet.

NOTE: Use of a power drill is inadvisable for
movement upon any incline.
When parking your trailer, slow to a gradual
stop before engaging the brake. Braking with
momentum may result in damage. Be sure to
always engage the brake when not operating
the 5X. When parked, secure with wheel
chocks.
