T-300 TRAILER TOWING CHECKLIST
Prior to towing a T-300, the following items should be checked and considered:
1. A suitable hitch assembly for the weight of the T-
300 (Gross weight: 6,500 lbs., tongue weight: 890
lbs.) is required. The ball size is 2 5/16 inch. To use
the pintle hitch, remove the ball hitch adapter plate
fasted by three bolts.
2. The trailer is equipped with electric brakes on both
axles. A suitable brake controller on the towing ve-
hicle, such as a NAPA P/N 89241 or a Tekonsha P/
N 9055, must be installed. The proper electrical
connector ("pigtail") must be used to electrically
connect the towing vehicle to the trailer, in order for
the brakes (and lights) to operate properly.
The T-300 has been fitted with a 7-blade RV type
plug and a pig tail that is permanently attached to
the T-300 tongue (see trailer-side pin diagram of
the 7-pole receptacle on Page 34 "Trailer Wiring
Diagram").
3. The trailer tires are 8-ply bias tires, size 225/75D15
(originally supplied). The tires should be inflated to
a (cold) pressure of 65 PSI.
4. Ensure that all lights are working properly.
5. Ensure that all machine components, such as the carrier-pipe/manifold assembly and cowl-
ing are properly secured.
6. Ensure that trailer safely chains are connected to the tow-
ing vehicle and that enough slack is allowed for turning.
7. Ensure the trailer hitch pin is locked with a spring clip or
lock to prevent it from coming loose while traveling.
8. Periodic maintenance is required on the trailer axle bear-
ings. Check with your dealer or the factory for mainte-
nance schedule. All wheel lug nuts and safety chains
should also be checked before each trip.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the retracted carrier-pipe/manifold assembly is se-
cured with the appropriate locking device at the front end near the hitch to
prevent it from sliding out of the back of the trailer while traveling. Also,
make sure that the cowling latches are secure and the center "D" lift latch
(handle) is locked in place with the provided key. Check all tires, wheel lug
nuts, hitch assembly and safety chains.
