Things never to do!
- Do not hitch or unhitch the trailer when it
is loaded.
- Do not exceed the recommended tongue weight
for your trailer hitch.
- Do not make short, sharp turns to right or
left (this may throw the rear of the trailer out in front of on-coming
traffic.)
- Do not exceed the speed limit. Less than
the legal posted speed limit is recommended for towing a trailer
whether it is load or unloaded.
- Do not drive with the caster locking pins
in locked position. These pins are to be used only when hitching and
unhitching trailer.

Hitch adapter
- Secure the hitch adapter to the vehicle with the
receiver plug and stabilizing chains.
- Adjust the ball mount bracket to allow the
trailer to be a little lower in the front (1 to 2 inches).
- Always maintain exactly 30 inches center to
center between coupler balls.
- Always make sure that when the hitch couplers are
latched onto the coupler balls that there is no loose play in the
connection. Use locking pins.

Maintenance:
- Maintain recommended tire air pressure at all
times.
- Check the casters for properly adjustment to
minimize any unwanted motion in the caster. If unwanted motion occurs
with the caster; then it can be easily eliminated by removing the
cotter pin on the chassis spindle immediately above the tire and then
tighten the slotted nut until it appears a little on the tight side.
- If caster ever locks up and will not swivel; then
remove the castle nut, drop the caster from the spindle, clean out any
road debris, lubricate spindle with a light application of axel grease
and then secure the caster onto the spindle using the castle nut and
cotter pin. It is recommended that a light coating of axel grease be
placed on both sides of the black urethane wear surface washer in order
to maintain a smooth action on the caster.
