NOTICE
Anti-sway devices as used on recreational vehi-
cles (RV's) are not applicable to surge brake sys-
tems and should not be used on Four Winns trail-
ers.

If the brakes are wet from loading, travel at a slow speed
and apply the brakes on your towing vehicle several times
to "dry" out the trailer brakes.
For maintenance and other information, refer to the
manufacturer's literature included with this manual.
E. Winch
To release the winch, place the ratchet in the REVERSE
or NEUTRAL position. The winch handle may spin when
pulling on the winch line.
Always inspect the winch line and hook before
each use. NEVER use line that is worn or frayed.
NEVER let anyone stand in or behind a boat while
pulling with the winch.
To rewind the winch, ALWAYS engage the ratchet first.
Turn the handle in the appropriate direction to rewind the
line.

A clicking sound will be heard when the winch
is properly engaged. If a clicking sound is not
heard, DO NOT release the handle. Handle may
spin backwards. Lower the load into a safe po-
sition before releasing the handle.
To prevent personal injury, observe the following:
•
A spinning winch handle can cause injury.
Be sure the area is clear.
•
DO NOT release the handle when the ratchet
is disengaged. Be sure the ratchet is en-
gaged or no load is on the winch before re-
leasing the handle.

manual for more information on winch operation.
F. Wheels
Trailer wheel rims are available in three types of finishes:
white, aluminum and galvanized. The white, powder coat
finish is standard. Aluminum rims (Mags) are available
as an option on Four Winns trailers. Galvanized trailers
are equipped with matching galvanized rims. Refer to

The tires installed on Four Winns trailers meet the trailer

sure the tires are inflated according to the manufacturer's
recommendation. Tire pressure information is noted on
the tire and on the manufacturer's literature.
