Wheels - Four winns Horizon Owner's Manual

To prevent personal injury, observe the follow-
ing:
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 engaged or
no load is on the winch before releasing the
handle.
To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS inspect the
winch line and hook before each use. NEVER
use line that is worn or frayed. NEVER let any-
one 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.
Refer to the manufacturer’s literature, included in the
owner’s packet, for more information on winch opera-
tion.
G. 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 optional
on painted trailers. Galvanized trailers are equipped with
matching galvanized rims. Spare tire covers are avail-
able as an option and will match the trailer.
The tires installed on Four Winns® trailers meet the trailer
load requirements for each model. Before trailering, make
sure the tires are inflated according to the manufacturer’s
recommendation. Tire pressure information is noted on
the tire and in the manufacturer’s literature included in
the owner’s packet.

Lug nuts must be checked for proper tightness after the
first 50 miles and periodically thereafter. Lug nuts should
be torqued to 85 foot pounds on white, galvanized, and
aluminum wheels.
Mag wheels include a locking-type nut to help deter theft.
This nut requires a special key or socket to remove.
The socket will be included with your trailer when mag
wheels are ordered. Refer to Figure R8.
