TRAILER HITCHING
Hook Up the Trailer
1. Raise trailer and open ball latch. 2. Line up ball with hitch.
NOTE: The trailer hitch uses a 2-5/16 inch ball.
3. Lower hitch onto ball and close ball latch. 4. Raise the jack.
NOTE: Trailer frame should be level when hitch
is on ball. See page 9 to adjust hitch height.
Always raise the jack before towing.

5. Hook safety chains and attach breakaway
cable.

6. Connect and check trailer lights.
Always cross safety chains below tongue.
Safety chains must hold tongue up if hitch fails.
Always check the tail lights and brake lights
before towing.

EQUIPMENT LOADING
Lower the Deck
NOTE: Trailer must be hitched to vehicle according to page 4 before lowering or raising the deck.
1. Turn power switch to ON position. 2. Hold control lever in the direction shown until
the deck reaches ground level, then release.

NOTE: The trailer frame should be on a level
surface when lowering the deck.

Load the Equipment
1. Load equipment so that the resulting tongue
weight is 15 to 20% of the total load.

2. Install tie-down straps to keep the load from
shifting. Use 8 tie-down anchors shown.
Maximum capacity = 7000 lbs. (enclosed trailer
is 6000 lbs.) Do not exceed.
Always secure the load with tie-down straps
before towing. Failure to properly secure the
load may result in injury, death, or equipment
damage.
Do not hook tie-down straps on the roller
guides.

EQUIPMENT LOADING
Raise the Deck (trailer must be hitched to vehicle)
1. Turn power switch to ON position. Hold
control lever in the direction shown. Release
control lever when deck is in fully raised
position.

2. Turn power switch to OFF position.
Make sure people are away from the trailer
before raising the deck. Keep hands and feet
away from deck and rails. Hands and feet can
get crushed between the deck and frame.

SERVICE
Tire Maintenance Wheel Torque Requirements
At least once each week, use an accurate tire
pressure gage to check the air pressure in all
four trailer tires. Inflate to the pressure
recommended by the tire manufacturer (located
on the tire.
It is extremely important to apply and maintain
proper wheel mounting torque on your axle.
Wheel nuts should be retorqued after 50 miles
and 100 miles and periodically there after.
Low or uneven tire pressures will not properly
support a loaded trailer and could lead to
premature tire wear.
When replacing tires, it is important to use a tire
of appropriate size and load rating (75D-15).
Failure to maintain proper torque on the lug
nuts may result in the wheel shearing off of the
trailer, possibly causing an accident and
seriously damaging the equipment.
The tightening of the lug nuts should be torqued
in the sequence above.
Lug nuts should be torqued in stages:
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
25 Ft-Lbs 60 Ft-Lbs 100 Ft-Lbs
This procedure should be followed after each
time the tire is removed.

EQUIPMENT LOADING
Lubrication (every 6 months)
Lubricate the following parts with clean motor oil or wheel
bearing grease
where shown.
For additional brake operating and service instructions, refer to the Surge Brake Actuator Manual
provided with the trailer.

NOTE: Be sure that no grease is applied to brake pad.

SERVICE
Hydraulic Fluid Levels
1. Open cover enclosing hydraulic pump. Check
fluid level in hydraulic reservoir. When trailer
deck is fully raised, hydraulic fluid level should
be approximately 1 inch above 1/2 of reservoir
volume.

2. If reservoir volume is below 1/2 when trailer
deck is fully raised, add enough BP type HLP-
46 or 10W hydraulic oil to bring fluid level in
reservoir to approximately 1 inch above 1/2
full.

3. Remove fill cap from surge brake reservoir.
Add DOT 3 brake fluid as needed to bring
fluid level to 1/2-inch below fill port.

Battery
1. Use hydrometer to check battery charge daily
or weekly, depending on frequency of use. If
the battery charge drops below 25% of full
charge (S.G. below 1.155 as corrected to
80°F) the battery must be recharged. Refer to
step 2 before charging battery.

3. Charge battery at one of the following charge
rates. The slow charge rate is preferred.
22 hours @ 5 amps

25 hours @ 20 amps
22 hours @ 50 amps
2. Check the electrolyte level weekly. If battery
charge is low, add water to bring electrolyte
level just above plates.
If battery is fully charged, add water to raise
electrolyte to full mark in each cell.

SERVICE
Adjusting the Hitch Height
The trailer frame and deck should be level for equipment loading and unloading. If the trailer hitch is
too high or too low when hitched to the towing vehicle, readjust the hitch height.

1. Unhitch trailer. Remove hitch mounting bolts
and nuts.

2. Install hitch in new position.
Adjust hitch height when trailer is empty. Use
jack to aid in hitch adjustment.
Failure to install and tighten all hitch mounting
screws may cause serious equipment damage.
