Keep the tires properly inflated and make sure they have the proper
load rating. Under-inflated tires may cause a blowout which could
result in fishtailing or loss of control of the towing vehicle.
Always maintain full air pressure as indicated by the tire manufacturer
on the tire's sidewalls. Check air pressure when the tires are cold,
before you move the trailer. When the trailer tires become worn or
damaged, replace them promptly with the same type, size, and load
capacity as the original tires.
For convenience and safety, it is recommended that you carry a spare
wheel and tire.
Loose or missing lug nuts can cause you to lose a wheel! Keep all lug
nuts tight.
Before each trip, check for loose or missing lug nuts. When replacing
lug nuts, make sure the replacement nut matches the original nut
exactly. While the threads of the nut may match, the nut may be a size
that does not hold the wheel securely against the hub even when fully
tightened. Torque nuts evenly in increments to 115 Nm (85 ft.lbs.).
Note: During normal use, the lug nuts will seat during the first one
hundred miles resulting in a drop in torque. Each nut should be
checked at that time and torqued to the proper value.
All trailers are equipped with a tongue jack (d). Use the tongue jack to
lift and lower the trailer coupling on or off the tow vehicle hitch.
