3. Lower hitch onto ball and close ball latch.
NOTE: The trailer hitch uses a 2-5/16 inch ball.
4. Raise the jack.
NOTE: Trailer frame should be level when hitch is on ball. See page 9 to adjust hitch height.
5. Hook safety chains and attach breakaway cable.
Always raise the jack before towing.
6. Connect and check trailer lights.
Always cross safety chains below tongue.
Safety chains must hold tongue up if hitch fails.
4
Always check the tail lights and brake lights before towing.
EQUIPMENT LOADING

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.

SERVICE
Tire Maintenance
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.
Wheel Torque Requirements
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.

Hydraulic Fluid Levels
1. Open cover enclosing hydraulic pump. Check fluid level in hydraulic reservoir. When trailer
2. If reservoir volume is below 1/2 when trailer deck is fully raised, add enough BP type HLPdeck is fully raised, hydraulic fluid level should be approximately 1 inch above 1/2 of reservoir volume.
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
2
2
5 hours @ 20 amps
2 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.
