Pass with Extra Care and Watch for Wind - Passing will take more time
since you are towing a load. Be prepared for sudden changes in air
pressure and wind buffeting when large vehicles are passing from
either direction. Slow down a bit and keep a firm hold on your steering
wheel. Aim straight down your lane.
•
Avoid Sudden Starts and Stops - This can cause skidding, sliding or
jackknifing. Avoid quick stops while turning. Because we designed a
trailer to fit within normal garage ceiling heights in the standing
position, the tongue of the trailer is short. Therefore, extra caution
should be used when backing to avoid jackknifing the trailer. Do not
back up unless you can clearly see where your trailer is at all times.
•
Always be Courteous - Signal your intentions to change lanes, turns,
etc. since others need to know your driving plans.
•
Never Tailgate - You should be at least one car and trailer length for
each 10 M.P.H. of speed traveling. Three seconds should be a
minimum distance.
•
If a Problem Occurs, DON'T PANIC!! - Stay cool. Avoid jamming on
the brakes, mashing the accelerator or sudden turns. Brake gradually
and slowly to a complete and straight stop. If the trailer were to fishtail,
back off the accelerator a bit. This could mean improper tongue weight
- check your motorcycle(s) to determine if the load is properly secured
and has not shifted. We recommend you stop to check your load after
5 or 10 miles and every 50 miles thereafter during your trip as tie-down
straps can become loose and/or the load can shift.
•
Make sure your ramps and spare tire are properly secured to the trailer
after use and before towing.
•
Never tow an empty trailer folded out. Fold the trailer at the hinge and
secure the back half of the trailer to the front-half using the rubber latch
as shown.
