If you have been towing your trailer and think that a tire
is under inflated, fill it to the recommended cold inflation
pressure indicated on your trailer's tire label placard or
the VIN label. You can also check the sidewall of the
tire for a correct tire inflation pressure. Your tire will
have a slightly lower air pressure because the tire is
warm when you are inflating it, but it will be much better
than to continue to tow it with the under inflation it may
have had. Once the trailer has been parked long
enough to allow the tires to cool down, recheck the tire
pressure and add additional air to return the tire
pressure to the recommended level.
Tire Size
To maintain the trailer's carrying capacity and safety,
purchase only the same size tires as what were origi-
nally supplied on the trailer.
Safety Tips
Slow down if you have to go over a pothole or other
object in road.
Do not run over curbs and try not to strike the curb
when parking.

IMPORTANT: The load must be distributed equally
on the bed of the trailer if possible. Heavy, concen-

of the trailer.
WARNING: Loads place on the trailer must be
