Securing The Cargo; Loading The Cargo; Checking The Yetti Before And During Each Tow; Pre-Tow Checklist - Yetti fish house Owner's Manual

Securing the Cargo

Since the "ride" can be bumpy and rough, you must secure your cargo so that it does not shift while the
trailer is being towed.
Shifting cargo can result in loss of control of the trailer, and can lead to death or serious injury.
Loading Cargo
Couple the Yetti to the tow vehicle before loading. The tongue of a bumper pull trailer can rise during
loading, before the cargo is properly distributed. To measure the tongue weight, you will have to
uncouple the trailer after it is loaded.

CHECKING THE YETTI BEFORE AND DURING EACH TOW

Pre-tow Checklist


Before towing, double-check all of these items: See, "Inspection, Service & Maintenance
Summary Charts," for more information.

Tires, wheels and lug nuts (see the "Major Hazards" section of this manual)

Tire Pressure. Inflate tire on trailer and tow vehicle to the pressure stated on the VIN /
Certification label.

Coupler secured and locked (see the "Coupling and Uncoupling the Yetti" section starting of
this manual)

Safety chains properly rigged to tow vehicle, not to hitch or ball (see the "Coupling to the Tow
Vehicle" chapter of this manual)

Test of lights: Tail, Stop, and Turn Lights

Test trailer brakes.

Safety breakaway switch cable fastened to tow vehicle, not to safety chains (see the
"Coupling to the Tow Vehicle" chapter of this manual)

Cargo properly loaded, balanced and tied down (see the "Loading the Yetti section of this
manual)

Tongue weight and weight distribution set-up.

Doors and ramps latched and secured

Fire extinguisher

Flares and reflectors

Grease pivot axles on both sides of trailer prior to each trip. Grease zerks are located on the
front side of each wheel lift assembly. Use a high quality grease. Failure to grease
adequately may cause the lift assembly to lock up resulting in damage of the suspension
system and may hamper the processes of raising and lowering your Fish House.

Prior to each use inspect all pins for excessive wear and/or bending. If excessive wear is
noted or if the pin is bent replace the pin prior to towing your fish house.

Loosen cables when towing your Yetti. Lift cables must have enough slack to allow free
movement of the leaf spring assembly. Failure to follow these instructions may cause
damage to your Yetti.

Leaf springs
Tie down all loads with proper sized fasteners, ropes, straps, etc.
should always be inspected for cracks and breakage
