The following manual provides important safety information and instruction. Please read this manual before operating

We acknowledge that not every situation or combination of tow vehicle and trailer can be addressed, therefore we ask
that you use sound judgment after reading the following outlines.
Some components may be produced by a third party. When available, separate service manuals and instructions may
apply.

Component Sourcing Information

Our equipment is designed and built with operators and maintenance personnel in mind. To this end, non-rusting
hardware and bolt-on / bolt-off componentry is used at every possible opportunity. This encourages routine
maintenance by making the work easier on the technician, as well as on the equipment. Sauber Mfg. Co. will have most
of the components that might need replacement in stock at our facility, and we are always ready to help get you any
replacement parts you might need.
