REMOVING THE LIGHTS FOR TRANSPORTATION
1. On units equipped with quick disconnect fittings for the lights, disconnect the power
cords from the junction box at the top of the mast. Replace the dust caps on the
junction box. On hard wired units, remove the junction box cover, located on the
top of the mast, and disconnect ONLY the mast light wires from the connectors.
To release the mast light wires from the connectors, flip the locking levers down
and pull out the appropriate wires.
2. Remove the lights by removing the wing nut that holds the light fixture bracket to
the cross tube. Attach the lights to the storage brackets (if equipped) located on
the mast tube on either side of the central lift point.
TOWING THE UNIT
Once the engine is shut down and the mast and lights are properly stowed, follow these steps to prepare the unit
for towing.
1. Raise the rear jack completely and release the locking pin to rotate it up into the travel position. Make sure the
locking pin snaps into place.
2. Raise the outrigger jacks completely and release the jack locking pin to swing the jacks up into the travel position.
Make sure the locking pins snap into place. Release the outrigger locking pins and slide the outriggers into the
trailer frame until the locking pins snap into place.
3. Use the tongue jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling and
attach the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Remove the jack locking pin and rotate the jack into the travel
position. Replace the locking pin.
Note: A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean and
apply fresh grease each time the unit is towed.
4. To ensure proper operation of the jacks, lube the grease fittings located on the leveling jacks. Refer to
Maintenance" on page 27.

page 25.
5. Connect any trailer wiring to the tow vehicle. Check for proper operation of the stop and signal lights.
6. Make sure the mast cradle locking pin is in place.
7. Make sure the doors are properly latched.
8. If the unit is going to be driven over rough ground, remove the bulbs from the light fixtures.
9. Check for proper inflation of the trailer tires. Refer to Specifications beginning on
10. Check the wheel lugs. Tighten or replace any that are loose or missing. If a tire
has been removed for axle service or replaced, tighten the lugs, in the order shown,
to the following specifications:
A. Start all lug nuts by hand.
B. First pass tighten to 20-25 ft-lbs (27-33 Nm).
C. Second pass tighten to 50-60 ft-lbs (67-81 Nm).
D. Third pass tighten to 90-120 ft-lbs (122-162 Nm).
Note: After the first road use, re-torque the lug nuts in sequence.
11. Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road towing speed
is not to exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, depending on the terrain.
