Receiving Your
Trailer - Model SL-200
Thank you for your purchase of our
NoJAK Trailer. We want your ownership of our trailer to be a pleasant
experience.
Because the NoJAK Trailers are unique
in design, we take every precaution in making sure it is properly
prepared for shipping. It will come packaged upside down and strapped
to a wooden pallet. The trailer will weigh about 550lbs. It is
therefore recommended that you have 2 or 3 adult males to help uncrate
it and turn it over to a rolling position. It will help to follow the
suggested steps below. Be careful!! Avoid getting hurt while
handling!!
Steps:
- Remove all banding.
- Remove any boxes of accessories.
- Mount the tires. Be careful to make sure that all
lug nuts are centered in the holes of the rims. Otherwise, the trailer
will bounce on the road when traveling. Make sure all lugs are properly
torqued.
- Place 3 pieces of 2x4's about 15 inches long
(total of 6 pieces) on top of each other near each end of trailer away
from light protector brackets. Then move the rear of the trailer about
2 inches off the pallet to rest on the 2 stacks of 2x4's.
- Remove cotter pin and castle nut and one
white UHMW washer from spindle on front of trailer. Place 2 point hitch
on spindle and put UHMN washer on shoulder of spindle. Place castle nut
on snuggly and insert cotter pin and spread the ends. Use repair links
on the short chains near each end of hitch to secure to the hitch.
These chains limit the amount of swivel on the hitch.
- You are now ready to lift the front of the
trailer to a vertical position. 2 or 3 adult males should be used for
this task. With the trailer being held firmly in a vertical position,
move around to the front of trailer to carefully let it down to the
pavement. The trailer is now well balanced and one should be able to go
to the rear of trailer, and bear down on it, which will raise the front
end up and make it easy to push up to the towing vehicle. Please
note for the consumers benefit the caster locking pins are secured
with the casters in a backing up position. Once the trailer is firmly
hitched to the towing vehicle, remove caster locking pins and place in
pin keeper on bottom of chassis. Never, never
tow the trailer with the casters locked in the fixed position.
- Place the 2 point hitch adapter into the receiver
opening of your trailer hitch. Wrap the stabilizing chains around your
trailer as below and use Eye-Bolt to tighten the chains:
